The move would exempt car parts from the tariffs that Trump is imposing on imports from China to counter its role in fentanyl chemical exports, as well from those levied on steel and aluminium — a “destacking” of the duties, according to two people with knowledge of the matter. https://www.ft.com/content/fa0f6749-729e-41ca-917b-7b534041f6f8 "Destacking?" Sounds like what happens when you go all in with a pair of douches.
  2. Those all sound perfectly fine. Don't be jealous of other peoples' success. Work hard, invest, and maybe you can benefit.........unless Trump crashes your 401K or tariffs your employer out of existence.
  3. Yes, bring 'em out. Start a new thread so it doesn't get lost amongst the replies.
  4. How about something closer to home, say.......Indiana. IRS: Illinois loses $9.9B in income as 87,311 residents move out in 2022 New data shows $9.9 billion flowed from Illinois to other states because people moved out in 2022. Most of those leaving earned $100,000 or more. While Illinoisans of all income levels left the state, the heaviest losses were among those earning more than $100,000 annually. Those tax filers represented 56.4% of the state’s net migration losses. The loss of these taxpayers is even greater when it comes to their economic impact: filers making more than $100,000 annually took 88.4% – nearly $8.8 billion – of Illinois’ net income losses with them. https://www.illinoispolicy.org/irs-illinois-loses-9-9b-in-income-as-87311-residents-move-out-in-2022/
  5. How 'bout...........ANY...........context. For ezzample: Bob earned $60K. He's married with no kids. He files jointly, and takes an IRA deduction and mortgage interest deduction. He pays $5800 tax. Fred earned $1 Billion. He's single and owns a private jet. He runs a casino resort...........poorly.............and lost $400 Million. He invests in a company selling gold-colored sneakers that also did poorly. He sold his entire holdings for a loss of $600 Million. Fred pays no tax. That, dear, is context.
  6. No interest. Nothing I want to say to the locals or hear from them. Lived in China, learned Chinese. Sometimes I'll give 'em a cheery "Ni hao!"
  7. Silly man! Order it from China and avoid the Thailand tariffs. https://world.taobao.com/item/906288045513.htm
  8. Coping in psychology refers to the conscious or unconscious strategies that individuals use to manage and reduce unpleasant emotions or stress in response to challenging situations. These strategies can be cognitive or behavioral and aim to help maintain mental and emotional well-being.
  9. So much whining. There'll be so much whining, you'll get bored of all the whining. Believe me, I agree, you'll never get bored with whining. We never get bored..........C'mon, Xi, call me......please.
  10. You didn't listen to the audio. You simply read the title and assumed. More quote-mining. Sad. Bigly, bigly sad.
  11. That, my dear, is what we call "quote-mining." Quoting out of context (sometimes referred to as contextomy or quote mining) is an informal fallacy in which a passage is removed from its surrounding matter in such a way as to distort its intended meaning. (Wiki) Maybe you should go back to spamming Falun Gong videos.
  12. Child Detention Centers: A 'Headache' For The Obama Administration Jun 23, 2014U.S. officials are detaining thousands of immigrant children who tried to cross the U.S.-Mexico border alone. Two journalists discuss conditions at detention centers, and what's driving the migrants. Immigration fact check: 'Who built the cages?' - Los Angeles Times Oct 27, 2020The Obama administration did build the cages Trump alluded to. The facility Trump mentioned was built with chain-link fencing by the Obama administration in 2014 in a warehouse in Nogales, Ariz.
  13. While Trump has repeatedly sought to get Xi on the phone, China wants the two sides to work out the contours of an agreement before the leaders speak. https://www.msn.com/en-us/money/other/trump-floats-substantial-china-tariffs-cuts-in-trade-deal/ar-AA1Dq7yn Art of the Deal meets Sun Tzu.
  14. Trade wars are fun and easy to win. Especially satisfying second time 'round.
  15. Seems fair that those paying the most should benefit more from the cuts. All of a sudden their "fair share" is a bad thing.
  16. Don't take the numbers out of context. What was Trump's income in 2016 and 2017, and how much was he allowed to legally write off from stock losses and bankruptcies?
  17. Exclusive | White House Considers Slashing China Tariffs to De-Escalate Trade War The Trump administration is considering slashing its steep tariffs on Chinese imports—in some cases by more than half—in a bid to de-escalate tensions with Beijing that have roiled global trade and investment, according to people familiar with the matter. https://www.wsj.com/politics/policy/white-house-considers-slashing-china-tariffs-to-de-escalate-trade-war-6f875d69
  18. Map shows where President Barack Obama dropped his 20,000 bombs US forces dropped over 3,000 more bombs in 2016 than 2015, taking the grand total of strikes for the year to at least 26,171. https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-president-barack-obama-bomb-map-drone-wars-strikes-20000-pakistan-middle-east-afghanistan-a7534851.html
  19. I thought we stopped extraordinarily kidnapping random individuals off the streets of Europe for rendition to assorted BLack sites for "enhanced interrogation." Next, you'll tell me Trump is ordering the execution of American citizens by drone strike without trial. 'Cause he's a fassist.
  20. It now appears the greatest friend of capitalism is President Xi. While Trump has repeatedly sought to get Xi on the phone, China wants the two sides to work out the contours of an agreement before the leaders speak. "Just ignore him, comrade, he'll kowtow soon enough." President Donald Trump said he plans to be “very nice” to China in any trade talks and that tariffs will drop if the two countries can reach a deal, a sign he may be backing down from his tough stance on Beijing amid market volatility. https://www.msn.com/en-us/money/other/trump-floats-substantial-china-tariffs-cuts-in-trade-deal/ar-AA1Dq7yn Word is the Gugong chefs have designed a new dish in honor of Mister Trump's groveling tour visit, named "Peking Cuck."
  21. What's fake about it? He's gonna destroy America's economy first.
