I've still got some Indian Rupees from my time there... I'm rooting for a comeback for that particular currency!

In 2022, India exported 80 billion in goods to the USA...it's largest export partner (about 17.5% of all of its exports). So, 27% tariffs will likely cause a recession to India's economy.

Long term the rest of the world will probably, gradually switch to efficient electric cars made by China, Japan, etc. and Europe, while most Americans thanks to tariffs and other trade barriers will keep driving gasoline powered cars, unless they have the money to buy electric cars. And all because of the obsession of many Americans with living in the past and wallowing in nostalgia for their lost youth.

When you look at the easy formula, and the inclusion of non-countries, do you get the sense that the whole tariff plan was made by Grok or whatever Elon calls his chatgpt ripoff?

Serious question.

Grok will actually tell you that fElon and Felon 47 are bad people who’s ideas are bad for America
 
There seems to be a lack of pithy comments from the MAGA crowd about how our concerns over the stock market are overblown.
We need a “where are they now?” thread.

maga requires a willingness towards violence, 99.9 percentile credulity, and slavish fealty, it does not require courage, logic, or self reflection (in fact, hints of those characteristics are thought crimes in magaworld).

So when will the fate of Trump's tax cuts be decided? I ask, because its obvious that Trump's primary intent is to lock in revenue projections from tariffs to offset his cuts.

I’m sorry, good sir, but it’s already gone. When SCOTUS’ made corporations people, democracy was pushed off a cliff, but it managed to latch on to the edge with one desperate hand. When SCOTUS created a king, it stomped on that hand over, and over, and over until democracy tumbled into the void.

Many reasons why democracy was at the cliff’s edge to begin with, but that’s another thread.

I just edited to fix that (on assumption that when posting the strike through feature was accidentally selected).

Correct, and sorry I didn't notice that when I initially posted on my phone. I just cut and pasted from the morning email so not sure what happened. Thanks for fixing though!
 
I remember back in 2019 or so when China was calling the first Trump administration economic terrorists. I never thought an American administration would be so stupid as to engage in economic terrorism on our own people. And I don't know how anyone could have imagined so many morons like Silence would vote for that would-be administration when it was openly promising to do exactly what it's doing.
 
Back in the 80's early 90s I had a need for Vans-3 kids etc.. I purchased 3 American made vans and none of them lasted 80,000 miles.Pieces of junk.
So I have not puchased an American Brand since Now I suppose my Toyota purchases (1 Corrolla, 2 Rav IVs ) have all been made in American-I don't really know?

You're correct. Many people to do know how catastrophically bad McCutcheon v. FEC was for Americans.
