  1. Trade imbalances have nothing to do with tariffs. Trump is lying about tariff reciprocity. Belarus and North Korea also excused.
  2. A long while back I thought Tesla stock was a good investment but passed on it only because of my opposition to the political views of Musk.
  3. Does not charge the US 10 percent. Tariff those penguins!
  4. Calling it Liberation Day is a big lie. It's actually Trump's Biggest Tax Hike in American History Day.
  5. Here goes: -- There are uninhabited islands on the 10 percent tariffs list -- Ukraine gets 10 percent. Having their civilians murdered daily by Trump's buddy Putin isn't enough punishment? -- Russia mysteriously missing. No tariffs for Putin, The one and only big country missing, -- Colombia hit hard. Americans love and need their coffee fix to help productivity. There is almost no coffee grown in the USA.
  6. A walk on the wild side in Sao Paolo Brazil. Dark stuff but not nearly as depressing as the subject matter might suggest. ‘Baby’ Review: Gritty and Tender Brazilian Drama About a Gay Teen As Baby opens, the title character, whose given name is Wellington, has a taste of freedom for the first time in nearly two years. He’s ending his stint in a youth detention center, a place with the grim industrial aura of a high-security prison — but also one where there are occasional breaks for drum-and-brass musical performances. Freedom presents particular challenges for Wellington, who discovers upon return to his working-class São Paulo neighborhood that his parents have left the city. There’s no forwarding address. Stepping into the void is a man more than twice his age, offering a confusing tangle of care and possessiveness as lover, mentor, business partner and paternal protector. www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie-reviews/baby-review-gay-teen-gritty-tender-brazilian-drama-1235913988/
  7. Learn from history but too late because the USA is ruled by a dictatorial power mad man who knows nothing about economics. I don't know how he can be stopped now. The republicans certainly won't,
  8. Perhaps intentionally. Then the oligarchs can buy everything super cheap.
  9. This isn't really about expat to expat stuff but it's fair to say the westerners are more hostile to American expats now while Russians will tend to think we are the same as them now.
  10. With Trump's actively destroying everything the USA has stood for for decades. yes China's offs of hegemony have greatly increased.
  11. Well I don't know yet, but I'm sure when the bad effects hit millions of Thai people that the government will make it crystal clear who is to be blamed -- the USA. So American expats here might become revenge targets. Could be similar to the wave of "Asian hate" that hit the USA because of Covid.
  12. You're wrong. This isn't about negotiating deals. This is Trump's ideology and he wants it to be permanent. Tariffs to replace taxes. Make the poorer Americans pay more and the rich ones pay less or nothing. This is a bait and switch. If this had been openly explained that he was going to institute massive PAIN of most regular Americans, he would have had zero chance of being elected.
  13. Yes there are many very stupid Americans, but they will be feeling the reality of this very soon indeed.
