Another example of Trump's IQ level
The OP is generally using this as an opportunity to show his hate for Trump. This is obvious. The topic about Trump issuing a 200% tariff is his excuse to post such a topic. So let's look around the OPs hate for Trump.. The name Champagne is controlled by France. It is expensive to buy in the USA. Most households would never buy it in their lifetime. Although they may try a glass that someone bought for a party or event. So basically, it is a middle to upper class alcohol. Whereas, lots of people buy the sparkling wine made elsewhere. Here is the difference in the 2.. The name whiskey is used mostly by the US. It is bought by all classes of people around the world. It is not expensive although some brands are priced more than others due to name and quality. France does make whiskey since the 1980s. But their quality lacks experience compared to the US who has been making it for hundreds of years. For the French, impsoning a 50% tariff on whisky will make sales drop there significantly. Simply because of the cost. Whereas Trumps 200% tariff will drop sales of the champagne. Due to the significance of the amount of sales and the selling prices of both. The 200% tariff makes sense. The 50% tariff will not hurt the average household as most would not buy a French champagne anyway due to the cost. The 200% tariff on whiskey may affect those lower class and middle class in France though. I think the idea of it makes sense. The point of it all is that these tariffs have been in effect for some time already in the form of taxes and with an unfair balance. Trump is trying to even the scales of import and export costs. It has been very one-sided with the US on the lower part of the scales. -

Endangered Crocodile Discovery Sparks Hope for Conservation
Picture courtesy of Thai Rath In a remarkable turn of events, researchers have captured images of the critically endangered Thai freshwater crocodile sunbathing in Thung Salaeng Luang National Park. This significant finding in Phitsanulok Province suggests that the ecosystems in the park remain robust enough to support such rare wildlife. The discovery was made by a team led by Ms. Daengrawee Phromrak from the Conservation Area Management Office 11, who has been closely monitoring the area since 2014. These researchers have been diligently surveying tracks and installing wildlife camera traps to monitor the elusive species. While locals have occasionally reported seeing crocodiles, the last documented sighting in the area was in 2013. Known scientifically as Crocodylus siamensis, the Thai freshwater crocodile, sometimes called the Siamese crocodile, is native to Southeast Asia. A fully grown adult measures approximately 3 to 4 metres in length. These crocodiles become sexually mature at 10 to 12 years of age, laying around 20 to 48 eggs with an incubation period extending from 68 to 85 days. Preferring still or slow-moving water, they primarily feed on fish and small animals. Crucially, these creatures are not typically aggressive towards humans unless provoked or faced with food scarcity. Historically, Thai freshwater crocodiles inhabited much of Southeast Asia, including numerous locations within Thailand. However, their numbers have dwindled to alarming levels, prompting their classification as critically endangered by both the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) and the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species (CITES). The photographic evidence of these crocodiles in Thung Salaeng Luang National Park is a promising sign for conservationists. It indicates that despite global ecological pressures, certain habitats remain intact enough to support these rare creatures. This discovery could invigorate efforts to protect and possibly increase their numbers in the wild. Nonetheless, conservation challenges persist. The Khlong Chompoo area, where the crocodile was sighted, could potentially face future environmental impacts due to proposed reservoir projects. It is crucial for ongoing conservation efforts to ensure that such developments do not jeopardise the already precarious existence of these crocodiles. In conclusion, while the sighting offers a glimmer of hope, it also serves as a reminder of the ongoing fight to protect our planet's biodiversity. For these reptiles, symbols of Southeast Asia's natural heritage, efforts must be intensified to secure their survival in an ever-changing world, reported Thai Rath. -- 2025-03-14 -
