38 in the forehead means that guy is messed up. Brits winning.

Interesting. Claim is trump used chatgp to calculate tariffs incorrectly. It's just a trade ratio. https://www.facebook.com/share/r/17dvR1d81w/

It's been 36 in recent times. 34.8 is nothing. Let's see 43. If these countries retaliate with a madman it's going to get ugly. I hope the outcome is they decide the US is important and lower tariffs. I'm not an economist but if countries give in and lower their tariffs and these new tariffs are removed it seems like things would be better for the US. Not so much for each country. I can assure you I deplore trump but getting NATO countries to pay their commitments and countries to open more imports from the US seems good to me and I'm sure MAGA's. How can any sane person argue with a tariff chart being unfair when Trump is still less than their numbers?

Plus trump needs the pay for his continuation of the tax cuts for his rich buddies. Interestingly tariffs accounted for 90% of the US federal Budget back 250 years ago before income tax. I'm pretty sure most Americans see the country list with the high tariffs in place on American imports and can't blame Trump for imposing much less on these countries. Trump does seem like he is supporting North and S America. Maybe he wants a strong land mass. Any investment South of the border should lower the influx of border crossings. I already feel some upward pressure in the labor market as I think many have left. No data on this just my feeling in seeking labor recently.

Why are some of these tariffs so high on American goods? Wouldnt totally free trade be the ultimate goal? Or do the richer countries need to support 3rd countries out of morality? Not much I can do but ride this derailed train wreck. I just don't 💬 think many companies are going to invest in production in the US partly because things can change again in 3 years and I don't think we have the hard workers willing to do factory type work. First thing wife said after seeing 36% on FB was about her imported rice and fish sauce. I also have not doubt the Asian stores and all retailers will be raising prices immediately in current inventory and even shipments already through customs. If we think retailers used COVID to profit here come unbridled greedy.

I 💬 NK Trump's tactic will work. 3 more years of his crazy will have the economy And more so messed up who would want to run for president in 2026. I've always thought it crazy that Thailand had such high tariffs on cars and booze. Not sure why these were not addressed sooner.

I hate to always read the gofunde negative comments. It's your choice to donate or not. But her eye lid and chin were not there? Then put back on? That's what my mind focused on. Plus the pigeon thing. Passport missing? This is the Thailand the World needs to hear about. Picturing that and the post by SMike about 2 people he knows who are brain injured. I think I won't ever rent one again. I did rent 2 with a gal down south. I can't recall but I think in Samui. I recall the roads were in bad shape and some steep grades and side slope and undulating. I do have a motorcycle driver's license now. I do get travel insurance when I come to Thailand. It's usually only 3-5$/day.

When are we going to go back to honor and the buck stops here. Did you see the hearing with Tulsi. All if them no we haven't read that security protocol. What worthless air breathers

From a picture I saw of a hiso condo building in Thonglor with a bulging corner spanning many floors there are going to be many condemned. All these guys bragging about how many rental condos the wife and them own might be be hurting. I don't see how you can fix fractured support beams and columns cheaply or timely. Will it be cheaper to raze the building? Do the owners have any say in that. Who pays for a demo? More construction dust and noise in bkk incoming. Labor and material shortage.

Deniers of bird flu. So some of you think a farmer or con ag should just let the barn with 10,000 egg layers infect the rest of his barns and nearby producers? They had to exterminate them just like they do pigs with swine flu. It has now taken 4-5 months to get more hens to begin laying eggs. It's stupid to blame any president on this disruption. Now if trump hadn't pissed off all our allies maybe some would have donated some eggs to help alleviate the pain some poor people felt. I bet most MAGA's spend 2x more on beers or white claws than eggs.

Wife says lots of Thai's are thinking corruption in the government building that collapsed. I'm wondering if an unfinished building may not have all the earth quake devices installed yet? The videos of those tall buildings seating is incredible. It will be interesting how many residences will be condemned. Maybe now Thailand will be forced to deal with real humanitarian issues.

As I watched the thousands of people fleeing in the streets and all those tall buildings looming 360 degrees it's so wonderful that 1 didn't come down into the crowded streets. Looking like renting a condo is much better than buying. I wonder how many expats lost their accommodations?

How do they track these food carts and stalls or even a small % of restaurants ? I'm sure most thaid in all occupations don't report a majority of their income.

To think that was even a scandal. Can't imagine a young intern doing that with Biden or much less trump

I live near a fault that they say is due. I could loose quite a bit of my wealth. Makes one consider renting rather than owning ones living quarters.

I wonder why that building under construction collapsed? So much less weight than finished and I thought the cement was the main structure? I wonder how many buildings will be condemned? And how did. cM fare being so much closer to the epicenter. Or was it the liquifaction zone of BKK that made it worse. I feel for those workers in the collapse.

50 Mil in deposit? I think it's crazy. Create these ultra exclusive places where the low paying can work and observe but only the super wealthy can enjoy. Pretty normal I guess. I can't imagine this being a good thing at all. Lots of tourists broke and can't afford their flight home. May create some new walking streets.

I think pigtails look sexy, fun and youthful. To bad wife won't do them. Asian hair can be thick like hogs hair or fine like silk.

I just don't understand the value in taxis. Most of us never use a taxi. I've taken maybe 6 ubers in my life to the airport. The only taxi I've ever taken in my life in the states was 1 or 2 during a weeks vacation in NYC. Oh and one family trip we took a taxi to from the airport in Florida . And. 1 way in Denver.

Oh I'm positive. Positive that in 2 and more so in 4 years even most MAGA's will be educated in economics and realize their votes for trump and all these spinless Republicans was a disaster.

Kathy wood the other day saying tesler would hit 26,000 soon. Robo taxis going online soon and blah blah blah. As of a few days ago at 240 they say 4 billion has been retail buyers. Hit 290 last couple days. Down 16 yesterday . Premarket 273 today. The highest P/E of any stock ever. What about the roadster that's 8 years late. And so many people not getting refunds on cancelled orders? Only 50 k CTs made of 1 million 100$ pre order deposits. 100% in recall. Elon bet on optics lidar. Sales off so much in all markets. US sales figures out April 4 th. I really think the name Tesla has been destroyed by Elon's political intrusion be in the US and Germany. He is sus as being behind Trump's talks of take NG over Greenland which haven't stopped. JD Vance wife's trip to Greenland a failure and warning. Trump recently saying "one way or the other" about gaining Greenland. Despite if the cars are good or if the country is ready for evs the Tesla owners are embarrassed to drive them now. I don't think a bit of MAGA support can help much. Only way Elon was getting approval robo and starship will be due his blatant firing of the officials. Most people don't know that this Mars that my is all just talk. It will take like 20 starship launches to get one orbiting starship ready due the trip and they need to send dozens before a manned version. Where would Elon find new baby mamas on Mars.

This is exactly what is happening in the US. So many Chinese buying up rental property because they are smart and some have so much money and I think easily get family and investor money. I know several. Trump is a jerk and he bankrupts everything he touches. I think he has had many business leaders complain about tariffs other countries out on US goods. Yes he is losing us allies. It will be painfull for the lower economic people but in a few years maybe there will be a few more things manufactured here. Look at how already the NATO members are starting to pay and exceed there contractual 2% of GDP. The issue I see is I don't think there are many quality food workers that will be willing to staff these manufacturing plants. I guess we will see.

235 is near where it was before the election. But I think people are going to see through musks way around the NTSB folks and the backlash will be drastic then.

Lots of good posts here. Except dickering if people need to own a stock to talk about a stock is rather shallow. People really like teslers. I just wonder how they will feel when the cars batteries need refreshed or new . Then they will know most of the true cost of an EV. Where is the volume of bad batteries going to be stored?

What is the P/E @235$? 80+. Or maybe over 100. Im not an early adopter of the EV's craze. The main thing I would be looking at is charge time. Chinas batteries compared to tesler. Not near enough charge infrastructure yet.
