  1. Yes, there were a lot of Mr. Ed memes at the time.
  2. Or just a few years ago when the Ministry of Culture celebrated the "soft power" of topless ladies on their home page...
  3. Shades of the Monty Python skit: "Spanish Inquisition".
  4. The MiniCult (Ministry of Culture) will be along shortly to remind everyone about decorum during Songkhran. And Prayut's dictum of three twerks only will be enforced. https://www.nationthailand.com/in-focus/30317916
  5. So the "Golden Age" of America is delayed by 90 days? Millions of Americans will have to wait 90 days to report to the factories. White House on Monday - "There will not be a pause". White House on Wednesday - "There will be a pause."
  6. She's been a busy little trader... https://www.investing.com/news/company-news/marjorie-taylor-greene-makes-multiple-stock-purchases-including-amazon-and-apple-93CH-3977374
  7. Four-D Chess? Very stable genius.
  8. What happened to the "National Emergency" used to justify The International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) https://www.congress.gov/crs-product/IN11129 to invoke tariffs? Although IEEPA has never previously been used to impose tariffs, in 1971, former President Richard M. Nixon used the similarly worded Trading with the Enemy Act of 1917 (TWEA), upon which IEEPA was based, to impose a 10% tariff on all imports into the United States in response to a monetary crisis.
  9. Suicide-nets are an added cost I guess?
  10. And if not, it must have been suppressed by "the globalists".
  11. The desperation in these thread starters is palpable.
  12. Tim Cook, and AAPL investors probably disagree with you? But perhaps you are an expert on "idiocy"? Apple’s 3-day loss in market cap swells to almost $640 billion Apple is one of the most exposed companies to a trade war, analysts say, due to its hefty reliance on China, which is facing 54% tariffs. The company’s stock has lost about 20% of its value over the past three trading days, wiping out almost $640 billion in market cap. While the market has gotten hammered from the tariff announcements, only Apple, Microsoft and Tesla were down on Monday among the tech megacaps. https://www.cnbc.com/2025/04/07/apples-3-day-loss-in-market-cap-swells-to-almost-640-billion.html
  13. Best deflection yet.
  14. You "think"? Call me suspicious. You need a Russian magician to help you understand what trump is doing? Face-palm.
  15. Texas measles outbreak tops 500 cases, including multiple at a day care in Lubbock West Texas is in the middle of a still-growing measles outbreak with 505 cases reported on Tuesday. The state expanded the number of counties in the outbreak area this week to 10. The highly contagious virus began to spread in late January and health officials say it has spread to New Mexico, Oklahoma, Kansas and Mexico. https://apnews.com/article/measles-outbreak-texas-day-care-lubbock-3d90c3ea9050c12dbc74a8f8142a6355
  16. So the price of an iPhone will double? Maybe people in the U.S can order a kit and assemble it themselves? https://www.youtube.com/shorts/nsyyGHuPR88
  17. AFAIK, Vietnam is at the 46% rate, while Thailand is at 36%. Vietnam has already had a call to trump to get a lower rate, but no changes mentioned yet.
  18. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yuOHbyuanbY&ab_channel=InternationalSchoolHistory "Did it work? Anyone, anyone?"
  19. Might be a good time to QC the steel used in HSR construction and that submarine on order.
  20. Bing, Bong Bing! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=niSLZDVApdQ&ab_channel=XavierR. Of course he's playing golf at Doral/hosting the Saudis (LIV event), while four deceased U.S. servicepeople are returned from Lithuania to Dover. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z4Ho6tJOsJo&ab_channel=MediaMagikEntertainment
  21. tesla makes ~ 30% profit from reselling, to other auto makers, the carbon credit. And that's pure profit with no cost of sales associated with it. Decreased sales will have a double hit. https://carboncredits.com/teslas-carbon-credit-revenue-soars-to-2-76-billion-amid-profit-drop/ https://futurism.com/tesla-sales-carbon-credits-europe Not sure the brand can/will survive, unless the government somehow supports tesla with subsidies or a massive fleet purchase. And they need a product line refresh, including the new Model SS.
  22. "I don't know." Secretary of the Treasury Scott Bessent replying to a question about how these tariffs will affect the prices Americans pay for goods. On the plus side I did get my Social Security deposit last night.
  23. Since the OP mentioned "appointment" in the thread title, they should be aware that the appointment system has a -30 day booking window. And ext stay/ret or /marriage appointment slots have been reduced and sell out daily. at CW.
