Trump Starts Global Tariff Wall, Thailand Hit with 36% Tax
GammaGlobulin replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
So what fraction of the cost of any given product is represented by the HDs you mention? And, how much will this significantly affect the RETAIL price of any given product. Probably....not much. Or, might it? Do you have any figures? You know that the markup for the retail price is WAY ABOVE the actual cost of manufacturing the product, at least in the case of China. The question is how much a 25% increase in the importing cost of an HD might affect the cost of the product, at the retail store. -
Dear Folks, I don’t know about you. But, my Asian wives and GFs really could not stand low bedroom temps. I am sure they had their reasons. One might imagine that, during the HOT season, a girl would appreciate a cold bedroom for sleeping. But, from my experience, they actually do not. Why are Asian women so afraid of the cold? And yet, during the daytime, they complain about how HOT they are, even if they might not be so hot, compared to other women. So, my questions are: a. What is the lowest bedroom temperature your GF or wife can tolerate, for sleeping? b. Do you ever get into bedroom arguments about…”The room is too cold”, scenario? c. When I was with my wives, they would always complain. But, I don’t know why. How do you deal with it when the wife says she is too cold, and you say I am sweating buckets, and it feels like I’m burning up inside? What temperature do you think is optimal for bedroom aerobics? What temperature do you think is optimal for good sleeping? And, what about spooning? And, has your wife ever heard of SPOONING…during the Hot Season, with the AC blasting, and does she enjoy it? Or…during the Hot Season, does she just say…get away from me!!! Or, does she prefer to sleep apart from you, altogether, in her own bed? I have a lot of experience sleeping with Asian women. And, … According to my experience, Asian women always complain about it being too cold. Have you experienced this same thing…. Time after time? How do you handle this? Best regards, Gamma Note: These days, living by myself, I keep the house temperature where I like it, at about 16 or 17 degrees C. And, I sleep better, as a result. I also think you might live longer if you sleep in a room which is cooled to an optimal temperature of below 18.

What? Do you think that you are the ONLY one who recalls the good old days? Now, let's talk about floppies, why not? But that is a whole different story, even before HDDs were available. Let's hear more. -

Highly unlikely. I once had an 80 MB drive. Very expensive. Now, you can find it cheap, on Ebay. And, it was made in Singapore. Why would you say that we do not know about these? They were VERY heavy..... -

If they would just whittle some carved teak similar to this, then they could sell more, and no more turmoil....maybe.... -
Was Trump actually at Wharton? If so, I feel so proud. Trump, by the way, has resurrected himself, and reinvented himself, since his first term. He is doing far better....because..... I could not stand the guy...before. But, after Biden wobbled onto the stage, and we learned the truth...... Now, Trump is not half bad....maybe.... https://www.thedp.com/article/2024/10/penn-trump-penn-mentions-distance-wharton-ivy-league-election Trump only referenced his Penn affiliation 93 times. Yet, here on TV, I have referenced my affiliation with Penn, 94 times. Therefore, I am greater, even, than Trump.

Terrible. Too young. So sudden, too. We all enjoyed his work, for sure. Complications from throat cancer? Terrible.

Not really. This has been a LONG time coming. So many decades ago, it always frustrated me that I could not buy US products in Taiwan without paying an exorbitant import tax. Customs would hold up any product from the USA, and then charge me BIG TIME....and so.... I just went without. I did not buy local. I just WENT WITHOUT.... So, who does this serve, anyway? Get rid of all import/export taxes around the world.... And let our Free Flag Fly... GET RID OF ALL IMPORT/EXPORT taxes, I say. And, WE will be the beneficiaries..... Whoever cannot compete...then...TOUGH LUCK. I want GREAT PRODUCTS, and I don't care where they are produced. So...as I say.... I really cannot believe that any US president has actually DONE this, something that I wished had been done in the 1980s..... This has been a LONG TIME COMING.... MAKE THE WORLD GREAT AGAIN.....!!!! Because, it has not been so great.....during the past decades...... Or, do you not agree? ============== We WILL have our WOODSTOCK.....After all.....I hope.....!!!!!!!!! Speak out against the MADNESS..... Go Trump GO......!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ============== Get rid of all protectionist taxes..... Let us buy what we want, when we want, and .... NO TAXATION WITHOUT REPRESENTATION......!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ============== Speak out against the MADNESS......!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! -
By the way.... As I recall, when I last checked, about 55 years ago.... Penn owns plenty of land in prime areas. If I am not mistaken, Penn owns about SIX SQUARE MILES of prime real estate. So, this is why I think that Penn is worth more than that PUNY school, Harvard. Also, Penn's crew team can wipe Harvard's ass, anytime, day or night.... If we really wanted to. But, you could not pay me enough to do THAT.....obvously.

But, you know..... I do not really care about money....because..... HERE IS WHY: And, as we know.... So many girls are going off their heads...these days.... Therefore..... Is money that important when we know we are looking down the barrel of the end of our lives.....?

I have plenty of cash. If the market dips low enough, then.... BUY, BABY....BUY...... Is this what you mean?

By the way, Folks.... There has been some talk, erroneous dreamings, that Trump might cut off funding to Flagship Unis....but..... NEVER FEAR...... The present endowment at the University of Pennsylvania is strong.... And, every year, we just have SO MANY new students who want to attend my GREAT Alma Mater.....BINGO....!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 72,000 APPLICANTS for the undergrad schools at Penn. I just wonder....did Chris attend Penn? If not, then he should have. Penn deserves great students like Chris Chappell....also....CHOMSKY.... By the way.... I really worry about Noam. I hope he is getting on, OK, but I fear, not....unforunately. Noam is a great man who has dedicated his life to doing great things. He has changed the world for the better, and he worked hard, selflessly. =========== So, anyway, if Trump decides to reduce Federal Funding to schools like Penn and Harvard....then.... This is OK. We will survive, and we will THRIVE. Probably, also, far better to NOT take federal funding because.... Why do we need to be controlled by the Gov? Go, Chomsky Go....!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Dear Folks, I guess all you guys must know China Uncensored, hosted by one of my fellow alums....Chris Chappell. But, I have NO IDEA what his politics might be....(haha). Anyway, after the recent quake, Chris did a vid that was his usual. Do you like it? Chris loves satire....as always.... And, here is another BETTER VID which is far less satire, but still, maybe....accurate.... Yes, the Belt and Road has never lived up to all the hype and tripe, obviously....just judging from what some can see. The TRUTH shall OUT, as it always does. So then, what do you think? Are these two vids rather interesting and maybe accurate, too? This seems to be a CHINA problem, and not a Thailand problem, is all that I am saying. For guys like US, this is OLD NEWS.....right??? Next time you welcome Belt and Road into your country, maybe.... THINK TWICE? Best regards, Gamma Note: The pity is that China is extremely capable of building world-class engineering projects. Why, then, did things need to come to this? Never Trust the Commies, Folks. The Taiwanese never liked the Commie Bandits, as we all know. Norte2: Chris, actually, might not be an alumnus of mine. And, he might be a member of the Falun Gong. Still, he enjoys his irony and satire, for sure, at China's expense.

TUNA, I hope. The smell of Tuna always makes me, suddenly, ravenous. -

Trump, in this shot, reminds me of the great film... PATTON.... Same backdrop of the red and white strips. Where is George C Scott, when we need him? -

And, every time a jet overflies my house, rattling the windows, I will have the added benefit of a whiff of french fries (chips), right? I cannot wait. ((I prefer NUCLEAR POWERED aircraft, for just this very reason.)) No smell.
