  1. You didn't put anyone in their place. You tried to use semantics and ended up looking like a nerd. Beachfront property in a landlocked state is a common phrase that everyone knows. You know what he meant but instead you wanted to act like a little douche. So now we have pages about the dictionary definition of a beach and Google pages and all other horsesh1t. You must be fun at parties.

    The US is aligned with terrorist states. Maga did this.
  3. Here's a look at just some of Trump's back-and-forth on tariffs since taking office, leading up to this week: Jan. 20: On the day of Trump's inauguration, he promises tariffs on Mexico, Canada and China will be implemented Feb. 1. Feb. 1: Trump signs executive order to implement tariffs on Canada, Mexico and China, set to start on Feb. 4. Canada announces retaliatory 25% tariffs. Feb. 3: Trump delays tariffs on Canada and Mexico by a month. He says Mexico will send 10,000 troops to the U.S. border in order to curb migration, and he was trying to work out an economic structure with Canada. Feb. 4: 10% tariffs are, in fact, put in place against China with China issuing retaliatory tariffs. The Postal Service puts a ban on packages from Hong Kong and China. Feb. 5: The Postal Service reverses course and lifts the ban it put in place on Chinese packages because of the potential to create massive disruptions for online retailers and U.S. shoppers. Feb. 10: Trump says he will impose 25% tariffs on steel imports from all countries, and he raises aluminum tariffs from 10% to 25%. Feb. 13: Trump signs a memorandum that sets the stage for "reciprocal tariffs" to go into effect across the board on April 2. Feb. 26: Trump says at Cabinet meeting he might give Canada and Mexico a one-month reprieve on tariffs until April 2. Feb. 27: Trump reverses course and says they will go into effect March 4. March 1: Trump signs executive order to increase U.S. lumber production and orders probe into potential lumber import tariffs. The U.S. imports billions of dollars in lumber products from Canada. March 2: Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick says tariffs on Canada and Mexico remain a "fluid situation" and that they could be less than 25%. March 3: Lutnick again says it's possible the tariffs don't go into effect, but Trump later confirms they will. March 4: Trump levies 25% tariffs against Mexico, Canada and China. China hits the U.S. with retaliatory tariffs, including on some agricultural imports, including chicken, pork, soy and beef. Canadian Prime Minister Trudeau blasts Trump for cozying up to Russian President Putin and imposing tariffs against allies. He threatens to hit the U.S. with retaliatory tariffs; Mocking Trudeau as "governor," Trump says he will hit back if that happens. The stock market tumbles in response. Lutnick says some of the tariffs could be rolled back as soon as the next day. March 5: Trump delays tariffs related to autos until April 2. March 6: Trump delays tariffs on Mexican goods. Later, he does the same for Canadian goods. The reprieve expires April 2. This is not a recipe for a good economy. Trump blew it all up single handedly.
  4. I'm looking at taking the family on a beach vacation this summer. The only question is do we go to Florida or Nebraska.

    Tariffs are not bringing manufacturing jobs back dummy. There are much much better ways to do that.

  10. Anyone who thinks a hot dog is a sandwich or sitting on the beach involves a lake should be burned alive in a school bus.

    You don't know anything about tariffs. No one does. We're at the whim of one man and whatever he feels like doing. As long as we have this uncertainty then business can't make decisions, can't plan, will just hoard cash and recession will be self fulfilling. And yes we're overdue and I don't see any more QE anytime soon.
  12. There is no beach in Nebraska. Just because you have sand on a lake doesn't make it the beach. Everyone knows this.

    I was yes. Less worried than now because of the underlying economic metrics. But I did move out of risk during that time. I haven't moved much out right now, some going back to December. That might change. Look we ended up down 3% this week and it was volatile has fock. Up and down as he put tariffs on and off. It's chaos. The market hates chaos. The economy hates chaos. We're slashing jobs, slashing spending, of course we're going to slow. We're at negative growth forecast. Recession likely. You're not concerned?

    Dept of Education going BYE BYE!

    Let me ask you, if we get rid of the people whose job it is to provide federal loans, grants and scholarships, then who is anyone going to get them?

    Dept of Education going BYE BYE!

    From the federal government, yes. If you're getting rid of people whose job it is to provide these, then how is anyone going to get them?

    I already pointed out the one good is college loans, grants and scholarships. I think this is important because I value education but I can see others thinking that we shouldn't help people graduate college.,
  21. Can't find one quickly but I know I read this a while ago, will look for something...
  22. They're searching for words in contracts and cancelling those contracts. Same with job descriptions. I shouldn't have to explain why this is a bad idea.

    So we need something else besides the DOE to perform this function correct? Haven't seen this proposed. You haven't either you're just assuming. This is why an EO is not the correct method to do this. It should come from Congress and have these details sorted out.
