@ThreeCardMonte I also give a lot of positive attention to animals, since you asked. Some are more likable than others. You are on the repugnant scale, as is the sex offender when in Cambodia.


So you’re a sex offender?  I’m not surprised.

 

Most are homeless.

    Oh hell....didn't realise Biden started a tariff war......missed that.

  • Are you sure?    

  • Oh, you mean Trump will reduce the deficit? That's not what the CBO says.   "Trump's 'big, beautiful bill' is projected to add $3.4 trillion to the debt, Congressional Budget Office says"

English is my first language. It wasn't me who wrote "would of" instead of "would have" 😊

If English is your first language....you obviously haven't had much of an education. it shows in your every post.

 

Now...what do you say about the Japan situation and the BS Trump announced about getting 90% of the profits? 😊  Did he manage to pull the wool over your eyes again? 😊


Nutter alert!


My previous assessment in a different thread of at least 50% nutters in Thailand is accurate.

 

Japan would 550 US$ invest in the US, according to Trump.

 

Here is the truth

Japan Expects 1%-2% of $550 Billion US Fund to Be Investment

 

(Bloomberg) -- Japan expects only 1% to 2% of its recently agreed upon $550 billion US fund to be deployed as investment, with loans making up the bulk of the rest, according to the nation’s top chief negotiator Ryosei Akazawa.

 

Meanwhile, Tokyo stands to save roughly ¥10 trillion ($68 billion) through lower tariff rates in its deal with the US, Akazawa told public broadcaster NHK on Saturday.

The details revealed by Akazawa suggest the Japanese may end up giving up much less than at first glance.

I am intrigued who expects the Japanese to buy American cars (as one example of a product Japan doesn't buy much of from the US). American cars are left-hand drive but Japan is right-hand drive. Obviously, Ford has right-hand drive cars in the UK but shipping from the UK would be expensive. The Japanese haven't and aren't likely to buy left-hand drive cars. 

American cars use more fuel.

Anyone who has been to Japan knows their streets are too narrow for most US cars and trucks.  The quality of American cars is far behind the Japanese cars, so sales are practically zero.

In Japan car taxes are based on their size, hence nobody wants those big American cars

That and the steering wheel is on the wrong side. Oh and the roads are smaller; more like Europe.

@ThreeCardMonte Nothing on the Japan deal then? Above your pay grade?

Youve got nothing on it either. Just leftist drivel

Isnt that the one that I worked out earlier ?

 

Wasnt the answer five shillings and six pence ?

 

There are all sorts of stories going around that Mazda are pulling out of Europe

 

Could that be true ?
