  1. why is the post dated 1 day ago? They reannounced it apparently due to the recent tariffs. It appears they will use this for negotiating and possibly threaten to cancel it if they can't get a reasonable deal on tariffs.
  2. Typical Thai scam, but it will probably work.
  3. Well Trump did put tariffs on Diego Garcia, so maybe he's anticipating them surrendering to the Chinese. Although, I think it's more likely he had no idea the only thing there is a US military base when he decided to tariff them.
  4. Trump really didn't think much when he made these tariffs. The formula he used was simple and childish--The trade deficit divided by the total exports. Thats it. There was no grand master plan to hurt China. The only reason SEA got hit so hard is that the US has a big trade deficit with SEA countries. Other countries with nothing to do with China such as poor Lesotho got hit just as hard just because of their trade deficit.
  5. Americans don't want to work in factories anyway, even for the current high wages in the US. That's the bizarre part of this trade war. Nobody wants the jobs Trump is trying to bring back.
  6. Seems like Trump's plan if he has one. It would also fit with his talk of staying on after his term is over.
  7. I just completed this quiz. My Score 0/100 My Time 12 seconds  
  8. And I'm sure you have thousands of posts bashing Biden. It's time to leave the MAGA cult and wake up.
  9. That seems like a certainty if these tariffs stay until then. I don't think Americans are going to tolerate the inflation that is coming or resulting job losses.
  10. Xi doesn't have to face elections. He can wait indefinitely. He can easily wait a couple of years until the US midterms. After that, the new democrat controlled congress will simply remove the tariffs if the orange lunatic hasn't already done so by then.
  11. When the captain of the ship is a complete lunatic who sank 6 previous ships, you never know when he will purposely sail straight into a storm again. Abandon ship while you can.
  12. He panicked because the bond market was tanking. No country will take him seriously now. It's obvious the US could not tolerate those tariff rates long term.
  13. How many deals did he negotiate before he panicked?
  14. Nope, Thai never gave refunds for cancelled flights. I lost my money. I don't know why anyone still flys this scam airline.
  15. The seating depends on the airline. There is a lot of variation, especially in business class. Thai has the worst business class. Singapore's 787 is like heaven. 1-2-1, complete privacy and the best food.
