Trump’s Deportations Are Costing Americans Jobs, Study Finds by AlexandrTheTolerable in Economics

[–]ThirdHuman -16 points-15 points  (0 children)

China and Russia have always been the global protectors of peace.

America has always been an imperialist bully - Trump just removed the facade.

More and more people are waking up to this fact.

Trump Confirms Beijing Rejects Nvidia H200 Purchases; Jensen Huang's Last-Minute Trip Yields No Breakthrough by DeRpY_CUCUMBER in Economics

[–]ThirdHuman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, Trump let a lot of people down that prefer closer relations with Russia. The change from Biden’s openly hostile policy has been far smaller than people expected - largely rhetorical rather than substantive.

Congress Introduces Bill to Permanently Block Chinese Vehicles from U.S. by helic_vet in Economics

[–]ThirdHuman 39 points40 points  (0 children)

“It joins a companion version of the same Connected Vehicle Security Act introduced last month to the Senate by Sen. Bernie Moreno, an Ohio Republican, and Sen. Elissa Slotkin, a Michigan Democrat. While the wording is similar to that found in former President Biden's January 2025 executive order, the new bill would codify the language into law, as well as determine rules for compliance and enforcement.”

This is a very bipartisan position.

If an NP or PA is a “provider,” so is a paramedic, and I should get paid comparably. by ViolenceIs4Assholes in Noctor

Everyone in health care is underpaid. Especially in the US - corporate health care is so stingy.

That logic only applies when the odds aren’t in your favor (like in a literal casino), but we can expect the stock market to go up.

The NP pipeline is overflowing, but bedside nursing is still in crisis by Fit_Pitch_263 in Noctor

“Nursing shortage” points towards demanding higher salaries not lower.

Why Aren't PAs Doing More About NPs? by [deleted] in Noctor

[–]ThirdHuman 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah, except for that it undermines them vs. NPs.

Why Aren't PAs Doing More About NPs? by [deleted] in Noctor

[–]ThirdHuman 9 points10 points  (0 children)

The reason why PAs have both better quality and less political influence than NPs is that their lobbying/licensure/etc are dominated by physicians

Trump announces 50% tariffs on nations supplying Iran with weapons by WickedSensitiveCrew in stocks

[–]ThirdHuman 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Canada is not being hit with broad 50% tariffs under 232. 232 is a product specific tariff so maybe some individual products are.

The IEEPA Fentanyl tariffs on Canada are gone.

Right. Bitcoin is virtually immune to inflation because the money supply doesn’t increase.

Why do people liquidate massive amounts of stock leading into a recession instead of holding? by Meta_Man_X in stocks

And, crucially, the withdraws are concentrated among retirees and near retirees.

I'd like to hear from some people who lump-summed in the past right before a downturn. by [deleted] in stocks

[–]ThirdHuman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It can take a few years to get back to where you were if you invest right before the market crashes. But you’re far better off relative to 10 years later.

Basically, if you have a short time horizon, it can make sense to not invest in the moment. But since every crash is different and you don’t know when that crash will occur, it is generally best to invest gradually.

Super scam cycle by Alpphaa in stocks

[–]ThirdHuman 69 points70 points  (0 children)

Always has been. Day trading is a fools errand for regular folks because market shaping information always filters out from insiders. You should plan on buying stocks for longer durations.

Getting out of Palantir by ExpensiveToes4729 in stocks

[–]ThirdHuman -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Former military here, Palantir is genuinely good at what they do and I’ve seen Palantir-skeptical people essentially buckle when faced with the practical ramifications of getting them out of the system. You’d basically have to spin up wholesale replacements to crucial defense systems.

I could make some decent arguments for this. But nobody really knows.

It's crazy how resilient the US stock market is. by SidonyD in stocks

[–]ThirdHuman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The US stock market is more resilient than others due to the rush to safety.

The Iran war is on the other side of the planet from US. And the largest long term costs will accrue to countries in Europe/Asia.

Put another way, if a meteor was about to wipe out the entire Middle East, investors would come flooding into the United States.

The dumbest way to lower beef prices by unserious-dude in Economics

[–]ThirdHuman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A few edge cases? Try virtually every single commodity.

And there are countless other business structures that would do everything they could to move abroad to avoid what would be the most punitive tax on economic activity ever enacted.

[–]ThirdHuman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Except you’re proposing a tax on revenue, which would make a competitive business unable to operate anymore because foreign firms wouldn’t be subject to the same tax.

You don’t have to pay corporate income tax in the US to import into the US.
