  1. There are different options which may be combined: - increase discounts, but it's unlikely that it may fully compensate for high tariffs, - export to another country which will re-export to the U.S., - curtail production. - let the CD devaluate, which will decrease export prices in USD, and increase import prices. In any case, it will likely be less profitable/more costly for both Canada and the U.S. The more general lesson from expected Trump's policies for any country, is that it's risky to be too dependent on the U.S.
  2. As the source shows, the agricultural sector is not homogenous re, the use of manpower. The effect may vary between no effect for corn crops to a significant effect for specialty crops.
  3. If there is a wage increase, they will still be higher than without wage increase. Energy prices are expected to decrease, according to a forecast made by the IEA last year. Oil price is expected to decrease to around $74/b in 2025, and $66/b in 2026. And it has nothing to do with drill aby drill B.S. which is just a slogan for the gullible. https://www.eia.gov/outlooks/steo/
  4. It depends of the type of crop and its level of automation 39% for specialty crops to 4% for corn. https://www.ers.usda.gov/data-products/charts-of-note/chart-detail?chartId=98569
  5. Same as the other online services. In addition, I think they particularly need to distinguish between Chinese numbers and other numbers, as the Chinese may be subject to specific restrictions. Let's see if they can pass the test of compliance to EU laws, which are the most protective of privacy. Don't worry, all data centers in China are guarded and supervised by the Chinese security forces. What could go wrong? (Sarcasm alert)
  6. MAGA propaganda lies, as usual!
  7. Deepseek is just the tip of the iceberg. China has been investing in AI for years. There are several other AI initiatives in China. If Trump were not ignorant he would be aware of it... Below a 'pre-Deepseek' report on AI in China (August 2024) https://itif.org/publications/2024/08/26/how-innovative-is-china-in-ai/ Quote: The reality is the United States’ efforts to hold back China’s AI progress are unlikely to succeed. China is advancing rapidly in AI research and application, challenging the United States’ dominance in this critical field. Despite hurdles, China’s robust academic foundations, innovative methodologies, and increasing foreign investment are propelling it toward becoming a leading AI powerhouse. The question is not whether the United States can contain China in AI, but whether it can keep ahead
  8. You sure? 😆 https://cdn.factcheck.org/UploadedFiles/Johnson_TrumpEpstein_Lawsuit.pdf&ved=2ahUKEwjb-dKSpJqLAxUJRaQEHa5dJRc4ChAWegQILhAB&usg=AOvVaw2A-P0GCUETmFTOtiarupfU Note: The lawsuit was ultimately withdrawn. The plaintiff claimed it was because she had been threatened. Of course, it's not credible that she could have been threatened.....
  9. Poor MAGA who doesn't know the difference between a promotion discount by a particular retailler and a price decrease on the whole market. (BTW, it seems to be a scam as the discounted price is higher than the average market price ) https://tradingeconomics.com/
  10. Your quote starts with a proven lie, that certainly doesn't make the other claim credible! 🙂
  11. And it's not like some morons still don't believe that Biden and Harris won the 2020 election! Oh wait! 😆
  12. It seems it's your "veins popping out of your temples!: when you have to face the B.S. Trump actually said! He said that. It was B.S. “So when I win, I will immediately bring prices down, starting on day one" https://nypost.com/2024/08/15/us-news/trump-blasts-kamala-harris-high-grocery-prices-and-maduro-plan-while-standing-in-front-of-cheerios-meat/
  13. Ok. We can agree that Trump was talking B.S. and made fake promises.
  14. Because, as they represent around 40% of agricultural workers, and employers may find it difficult to replace them if they are expelled?
  15. Of course, there is a cost. I doubt a SM meme but an unknown MAGA fan may show reliable amounts.
  16. A meme from a SM post by Wall Street Mav! 🙂
  17. Complete B.S., as usual. 😆 Biden re received an economy in crisis from Trump (I'm not claiming it was all Trump's fault), while Trump starts with an economy in good shape: - best post-Covid recovery among comparable countries (ex. G7) with growth rates x2 or x3 compared to these countries, - best recovery in terms of reducing unemployment, - now low inflation, close to pre-pandemic level, - stellar growth of stock market value, - all time record for energy production and exports - high level of innovation, in particular in the digital economy, AI, etc... There is still the debt problem, but I guess Trump doesn't want to cancel the debt ceiling for no reason, does he! 😆 https://commonslibrary.parliament.uk/research-briefings/sn02784/
  18. That's what he said: “So when I win, I will immediately bring prices down, starting on day one" https://nypost.com/2024/08/15/us-news/trump-blasts-kamala-harris-high-grocery-prices-and-maduro-plan-while-standing-in-front-of-cheerios-meat/
  19. You mean like peace in Ukraine? "That is a war that's dying to be settled. I will get it settled before I even become president." "And I'll get the war with Ukraine and Russia ended. If I'm President-Elect, I'll get it done before even becoming president." https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/harris-trump-presidential-debate-transcript/story?id=113560542 Promise made, promise broken! 😆
