Trump Threatens Major Tariff Surge of 50% on EU Amid Trade Frustrations
candide replied to Social Media's topic in World News
You are highlighting a crucial issue. MAGAs are rejoicing about the chaos created by Trump and about the perspective of screwing others. They seem to ignore that firms need to invest in R&D, production, etc... and need a minimum of predictability of the economic environment. Currently, they are not even able to forecast how much they should produce next month, or even next week! -
French Report Warns of Islamist Infiltration Threatening National Unity
candide replied to Social Media's topic in World News
Actually, this was initially not a problem as mosques were under influence from Northern African countries, in particular Algeria and Morocco. For example, the great mosque of Paris is under Algerian influence and in Strasburg under Moroccan influence. This is not a big problem as they are preaching a moderate version of Islam. They are still the dominant players. However, Muslim Brotherhood and Salafi have been increasingly competing with them, thanks to fundings from Quatar and Saudi Arabia. Of course, as in other countries (Including the U.S.), Saudi Arabia is seldom officially blamed. -

B.S. By the same standards, the U.S. also has a tradition of longstanding unfair trade practices! π The main reason why the U.S. trade with the EU shows a deficit, is because the U.S. outsourced its production activities more than the EU did (actually Western EU countries rather outsourced to Eastern EU countries). Europeans are buying plenty of European brands, but they are made in China! -

China's Yuan to Replace the Dollar because of Trump!

Democratic districts will be more affected, but a significant number of Republican districts include a large proportion of people enrolled in Medicaid! π "In half of all Republican congressional districts, 21% or more of the population is enrolled in Medicaid; and in half of all Democratic districts, 26% or more of the population is enrolled in Medicaid." https://www.kff.org/medicaid/issue-brief/congressional-district-interactive-map-medicaid-enrollment-by-eligibility-group/ "There are also pockets of the country that rely significantly on the program where voters favor Republicans. Of the 218 seats Republicans control in Congress, 26 are in districts where Medicaid covers more than 30 percent of the population, according to a New York Times analysis of federal enrollment data. All 26 of those representatives voted in favor of the House budget this week." https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2025/02/27/us/politics/medicaid-enrollment.html

As it's clearly stated in NoDisplayName's post, it's also about tariffs on the EU. -

Lol! Trump threatened 25% tariff on imported Iphones if Apple doesn't bring back production to the U.S. Even if it would be economically feasible, it would take years! π€£ -

candide replied to BLMFem's topic in Political Soapbox
Trump was already campaigning about it in August. Having said that, if the bird flu pandemic ends, I don't see why eggs shouldn't go back to a "normal" price. The U.S. was a net exporter in 2024, so their price shouldn't be affected by tariffs (provided input costs are not affected). -

candide replied to BLMFem's topic in Political Soapbox
Trump made this promise last year during his campaign, same as Vance. He did not bring the price of eggs down compared to the price at the time he made this promise. π -
I also agree. Actually it's a blanket agreement with every of his current or potential proposals which are supported by scientific evidence (not the ones which are not, I.e. about autism). If the U.S. goes that way, it may converge towards the same food standards as the EU standards. No more "non-tariff barriers" for agricultural products! π P.S. Don't dream, the Republican agro lobby will likely not allow banning harmful pesticides and fertilizers

So it's actually not cheap, in particular if you select a longer period (5 years). It's actually more expensive than before the bird flu epidemic. I'll add a humorous touch: it's more expensive than when Vance made his famous show about it, blaming Kamala Harris! π€£ https://tradingeconomics.com/commodity/eggs-us https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-politics/jd-vance-eggs-kamala-harris-b2617527.html -
Trump's "Big Beautiful Bill" Passes The House.
candide replied to dinsdale's topic in Political Soapbox
Welfare recipients may also not like it. "[The] House bill is going to add about $4 trillion to the debt ceiling. The Senate bill adds $5 trillion. There's nothing fiscally conservative about expanding the debt ceiling more than we've ever done it before," Republican Sen. Rand Paul said Thursday. "This will be the greatest increase in the debt ceiling ever, and the GOP owns this now β¦ the deficit this year will be $2.2 trillion the GOP owns that now too." Some Senate Republicans are calling for steeper spending cuts so that raising the debt limit would not be part of this bill. https://www.yahoo.com/news/senate-likely-change-house-passed-181250084.html -
