Good bit of fun. The Thai guy should have cracked one open and had a few glasses with him instead of shouting and assaulting him.

I am curious what impeachable offenses he has already committed.  I mean I get it you hate him and would put a knife in his back if you could, but what has he actually done that is impeachable?

 

I am also unaware of massive street actions occurring today.  And come on, kill many protestors?  You need help.  This isn't Tienanmen Square. 

He already is impeached, twice.

The Pi Phone would be nice and I would definitely buy one if they ran on the current presumptive spec.s and prices etc could buy 6 for the price of an iPhone!
However I think it is all just Pi in the sky at the moment and nothing official from anyone just a bunch of speculation currently.

If you value privacy i would be careful.

I would be doubtful if anybody active on the left of this forum actually could afford a Tesla anyway. I am personally boycotting Ferrari. The prices are unfair to us poor people.

 

There is nothing wrong with the Baht bus of course. It is efficient and all I need. 

Read the op. It's not about a Tesla, it's about Tesla products.

I think that people globally were already angry with America since the Biden's sanctions against Russia,  that created global inflation and shortages, as there was no more cheap russian energy in Europe and within the foolish EU countries that applied the sanctions of Biden.

 

All this to say that Trump's actions may piss off the regular leftist woke types but definately not a majority of people who were just fed up with what the previous US administration had done. IMHO. Sorry, no means to offence anybody. 🙏

Better follow the news. Even the 'do your own research ' media are contradicting you.

You can do the calculations yourself. He is correct.

Far from the statement CH made. Maybe English isn't your first language.

Trump was quite in his right to reciprocally tax them but he could easily have doubled the tax. Use do realise that he is only hit them with 50% of the tax they hit they issue against American goods? I

Nonsense.

I think Timothy Dalton was worse than lazenby.

Answer; not even close.

https://www.euronews.com/my-europe/2025/04/03/fact-check-are-donald-trumps-tariffs-on-the-eu-really-reciprocal

 

"It is not factually correct to say that the European Union imposes tariffs of 39% on the US. On the contrary, it's a nearer 3%," Andrew Kenningham, Chief Europe Economist at Capital Economics, told Euronews, putting the rate somewhere in between the Commission's and WTO's estimations.

The US administration, however, points to an unfair "asymmetry" in certain tariff rates. For example, the EU applies a 10% tariff on US car imports, while the US charges just 2.5%.

Brussels says, however, that this fails to consider the fact that the US imposes a 25% tariff on EU-made pickup trucks, which are a favourite among US consumers and account for "about one third of all vehicle sales".

Thanks, i was wondering this for some time.

Living on Phuket outside of Patong. So here it's just the one day of water fight. Really just the one afternoon, so very doable.

The UK a rule taker.

 

That plus the additional expenses since there is no free trade anymore.

10% on exports to the US instead of the 20% that the EU has.

 

Imagine paying the EU billions and following all their stupid rules just to get a worse deal. That would suck. 

So you save 10% now but spend a lot more on exports to a much bigger trading partner, the EU.

Excellent deal.

If she is so worried about this franchise being so sexist, how come she starred in 7 Bond movies?

 

 

 

So in which movies did she star in which role?

So Tesla sales declined, how did totl EV sales develop?

Besides sales in numbers, how about money? Was it a decline in spite of discounts offered or did they stick to their prices?

In Thailand? On a Thailand forum i would expect thai availability and Thai prices. When you let us know, i can tell you whether or not I'm interested.

the global system of trade it created

This is very much true. The US started it and is now complaining about what it created.

They'll blame the US. But no, it won't have repercussions for expats.

Let's see what happens. I expect some retaliation, Canada and China especially. Europe will imo respond calmly, they don't want a trade war.

One more step away from the US for the rest of the world.

I don't think it's possible, i think it's inevitable. Despite China's problems they're in much better shape and a long term policy.
