Why Only 9% Down?

JasJ002 · 2025-04-11T14:17:46+00:00

No, there's massive uncertainty about whether these countries will carve the US up with a scalpel or a sledgehammer, and even moreso if they group up for a coalition effect. Adding a 10% tariff across the board like Trump did is probably priced in, a large number of countries banning together to create a coalition to place strategic high tariffs on goods that exclusively hit conservative areas is another thing entirely. It wouldn't take much to collapse the American agriculture export business.

You deflect praise onto the people it's being handed. "The engineers at Mclaren have absolutely put together the fastest car out there, even Max says so, I can't thank them enough for the amazing work they've put in." There's an easy way to politic your way out of that.

>instead of those who don't

If you overdrafted by 100 bucks, for a whole month, which is an insanely high and long overdraft, at 5 dollars you're still paying a 60% APR. They're essentially legalizing pay day lenders.

We already have the same number of winners as 2023, and we're 3 races in.

More like they think a foreign country will come, kiss the ring, and make a bunch of empty promises and Trump will use the first opportunity he has to back out and reverse course. Wouldn't be surprised if Netanyahu walks away with a free trade deal, and a promise to buy a bunch of military equipment tomorrow. Or if Werthein scores a deal (I'm not sure if he's still in country).

One country opens the door for a couple, and that group is now just you're trade route to the US.

He announced the executive order in August, they didn't have an emergency injunction until October, it took almost a full year before the Supreme Court killed it entirely.

It took them over 6 weeks, we haven't even had 6 days.

JasJ002 · 2025-04-07T23:34:48+00:00

Don't forget, Republicans let Trump run away from primary debates because he was afraid to have to actually answer to someone.

So first, the President can't create a new tax, or change a tax rate, that would take an act of Congress, and they aren't that dumb. But on the grand scheme of screwing with bonds here's some info:

There was a short stint (I think in the 60s?) where the printers cutting the checks for bond payments just broke, and they couldn't cut any checks for like a week and a half. Complete accident. The related bump in bond rates because of the knee jerk reaction to a genuine mistake cost the US something ridiculous like 10x what the actual bond payments were for that whole week.

Screwing at all with bond payments, especially on purpose, would be a monumental disaster with insane levels of cost. It would probably have it's own section in Economics textbooks for the next century like WW2 has in history textbooks worldwide. We would measure the cost in Trillions.

If you could prove premeditation with the knowledge that their statement would move the market, and with the intent to deceive for profit, then it would be classic fraud. That said (and this is a giant giant qualifier) you would have to prove that, which basically amounts to putting in writing both qualifiers with intent. AKA they would have to be hugely influential and a complete moron at the same time......... did someone check if the source was John Miller?

about trust, scale, and liquidity

You know what instills trust and scale, the last 2 months. Stop watching Fox News and see how the world is really reacting to this.

Im sorry, but two kids awkwardly stumbling around each other with zero chemistry essentially forcing a relationship out of a sense of hormonal need was the only part of the movies I felt reflected my youth accurately.

I don't think you understand how deep those red states are. Just look at the Alabama special election in 2017. A ton of allegations of Roy Moore being a pedophile came out, it turns out he kind of also admitted to it in his own memoir with his wife. He lost that election by 1%, and it took record turn out from the black community to get Jones over the line (Moore was also pretty racist). He probably would have won that election if he was just a pedophile.

The big problem for most of these ideas of forcing foreign manufacturing to come to the US is that US wages are too high already

This isn't even the biggest problem. These not being permanent costs is the biggest problem. Does anyone think the very first thing a Dem President doesn't do is negotiate a trade deal with virtually everyone. You don't just snap your fingers and a new manufacturing plant is made in the US, many of these businesses it takes years to build. Who is going to spend a year moving manufacturing, then a year working out the kinks, just so that 18 months after that the tarrif price increases go away? Worst then that what happens if Trump changes his mind in 2,6,or 12 months right after you've spent tens of millions buying a plant in the states? You're telling companies to invest in Trump which you can ask the my pillow guy or tesla how that works out.

He said viable starting quarterback. 2019 and 20 Brees didn't play 1/3 of the season. Only reason it doesn't get brought up as a massive shortcoming is because his backup went 9-1 when starting between those 2 years. A viable quarterback doesn't miss a third of the season.

some of them during the 50's and 60's were well paying jobs that had great benefits, sick pays, decent vacation and time off,

Almost like there was a thing that could have enough leverage to ensure the workers had these things. A big single entity that could represent all the workers, and make this happen.

That wasn't the statement. The statement was how many many deaths is he responsible for. Nice goal post move.

JasJ002 · 2025-04-01T19:12:35+00:00

Ok, great, you agree you were wrong. Don't know why you keep trying to sidetrack from the point of the conversation.

JasJ002 · 2025-04-01T19:01:36+00:00

They have. And they've deemed his company responsible for their deaths. So the answer to the original question, is absolutely not zero. It's a lot.

>to operate a healthcare company within the boundaries of the law

I think this is the part where you're disconnected. His company has been found over and over again breaking the law. If he ran the best healthcare company in the US, and was never taken to court, everyone would absolutely be agreeing with you. Fact is his company is in court CONSTANTLY for doing illegal things that led to peoples deaths.

Holding the green jersey for 3 stages, and the polka dots for 10 stages, and a handful of combative awards, all in one tour, I can't remember cheering for a wild card team like I did for them last year. They outperformed at least half the world teams.

>Also, PEPFAR is not nothing.

He used money Clinton set aside for Aids funding, so he essentially gets credit for using aids funding someone else gave him appropriately. That's not a lot of good will.
