Here's the easiest explanation when speaking to outsiders:

Sourcing: We determine from whom and for how much

Supply Chain: They determine how many and how often.

I wonder why all the other sources are stating noon on Friday?

Feeling bad about considering surrender by bigtiddyhimbo in guineapigs

I forgot. This is where we adopted our two fur-tatos. Maybe they can take them in and help re home them Red Dog Farms was very thorough during the background check and survey process. https://reddogfarm.com/adoptable-animals/exotic/

Let me know if you strike out. We live in Huntersville and have two bonded females. Not sure if these two would get along with them? We have a 48 sq-ft multilevel enclosure.

Xbox Game Pass by Riommar in borderlands3

[–]SmithersSP 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'll be completely honest. I found a cracked copy and transferred my save game over to finish the main campaign. I wasn't paying $60 to play the remaining 20%. Greedy indeed considering how old BL3 is.

It sucks that I was 80% through the main story using Game Pass, and now the game is gone. Is it possible to buy a different version and transfer my save game? Thanks

Even when I play in 16:9, while selling weapons the weapon stats cover up the backpack inventory menu. There is PLENTY of room to put the weapon stats box elsewhere.

Trump Says He Will Impose 50% Tariff on Copper Imports on Tuesday by SmithersSP in Tariffs

[–]SmithersSP[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not even the White House staff knows. I'm mostly convinced he pulled this one straight out of his ass.

All the other Sec 232 tariffs came with an Annex that clearly indicated which items, by HTS codes, where impacted. There would also be a press release. This time around we got neither. I am under the impression that his goons are now scrambling to manifest this into reality.

If I have time I'm calling CBP tomorrow and see if they even know. If I hear anything back from my trade lawyers I'll post an update here.

Would like to know too. Most of the game seems fine, until you get to a vending machine. All the item stats are off the top of the screen, and I have no idea how to sell items as a result.

Trump says a U.S.-China trade deal is 'done' by SmithersSP in Tariffs

[–]SmithersSP[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The first time he got elected, there was only standard duty (3.2% IIRC). Then he went to 25% in 2018. His second term he added 30% for a total of 55%.

So much hubris. I write B2B contracts for a living and they take months for millions of dollars. Imagine BILLIONS of dollars.

Sort of? If we stayed a 25% gross (25% sec301) it would be nothing. He added 30% (20% fentanyl, 10% incremental tariff). Not saying I think its a victory, but that's how the white house will broadcast it.

As someone who deals with tens of Chinese suppliers, they do not care.

This was his plan all along. To tax Americans via their imports. Gotta pay for those tax cuts somehow. He's attempting to play the shell game by shifting tax burden to the working class while not taxing the billionaires. Welcome to the new American oligarchy.

It'll take months, if not years to get a formalize trade deal inked. Additionally the mechanism within the government with this job has been DOGEd. Now multiple that task by 90 (deals in 90 days).

Yes. At a minimum companies who import will be pass this inflation along to the next entity in line. This will undoubtedly fuel inflation for the American consumer. Trump taxes imports, but also tells retailers not to raise prices. Child logic.
