LIBERATION DAY: USA and China agree to a 90 day pause on most new tariffs

The US is running a trade deficit with China - the difference between what it imports and exports - of $295bn in 2024. That's a considerable trade deficit, equivalent to around 1% of the US economy. -
I don't think The Psychic Observer deserved a laugh emoji at all on that. This website should show who is responding with each emoji; it's possible on message boards. Hiding behind an anonymous laugh emoji when it's not even funny, so sad

3 years isn't a very long time in the scope of time.

Luka makes shot to take the lead 108 - 107 with 7:40 left in the game. Luka talks trash to a fan and ref T's him up and ejects because the ref was near the fan and though Luka was talking to him. Lakers went on to lose. Tomorrow night Lakers are in Dallas. Luka's first game in Dallas as a Laker. -

I guess this is a good of chance as any to post this movie scene. -
Might have to stock up on banana pudding to get my banana fix over the next 4 years when the bananas no longer cross the border. Trump said he would enforce the border.

I have Cancer :/ -- now not so great, new nodule 3/18/25
Gepetto replied to jerryskids's topic in The Geek Club
Sorry to hear this for you, but surgery, etc. sounds promising. I hope all goes well and you are (or become) cancer free. Just realized I didn't hit reply to the message I wrote, above. Glad you are out of surgery. Good that you have a positive attitude. That is often found to help immensely. -
Why Trump's tariff chaos actually makes sense (big picture)

Hasbro is going to have to move all toy production that's in China to Vietnam or they will be making significantly less profit, or they can try passing the cost to consumers but they're going to lose the majority of purchasers so then they would be better off getting out of the toy business.

Trump: "So, supposing we hit the body with a tremendous - whether it's ultraviolet or just very powerful light," the president said, turning to Dr Deborah Birx, the White House coronavirus response co-ordinator, "and I think you said that hasn't been checked but you're going to test it. "And then I said, supposing you brought the light inside of the body, which you can do either through the skin or in some other way. And I think you said you're going to test that too. Sounds interesting," the president continued. "And then I see the disinfectant where it knocks it out in a minute. One minute. And is there a way we can do something like that, by injection inside or almost a cleaning? "So it'd be interesting to check that." Pointing to his head, Mr Trump went on: "I'm not a doctor. But I'm, like, a person that has a good you-know-what." He turned again to Dr Birx and asked if she had ever heard of using "the heat and the light" to treat coronavirus. "Not as a treatment," Dr Birx said. "I mean, certainly, fever is a good thing. When you have a fever, it helps your body respond. But I've not seen heat or light." "I think it's a great thing to look at," Mr Trump said. Doctors warned the president's idea could have fatal results. Pulmonologist Dr Vin Gupta told NBC News: "This notion of injecting or ingesting any type of cleansing product into the body is irresponsible and it's dangerous. "It's a common method that people utilise when they want to kill themselves." Kashif Mahmood, a doctor in Charleston, West Virginia, tweeted: "As a physician, I can't recommend injecting disinfectant into the lungs or using UV radiation inside the body to treat Covid-19. "Don't take medical advice from Trump." John Balmes, a pulmonologist at Zuckerberg San Francisco General Hospital, warned that even breathing fumes from bleach could cause severe health problems. He told Bloomberg News: "Inhaling chlorine bleach would be absolutely the worst thing for the lungs. The airway and lungs are not made to be exposed to even an aerosol of disinfectant. "Not even a low dilution of bleach or isopropyl alcohol is safe. It's a totally ridiculous concept." source: https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-52407177 -
Trump put tariffs on China his first term. It didn’t work because China funneled its products through other countries. Trump now put tariffs on all countries. He doesn’t want to reduce Vietnam tariff only to have Vhina sell to Vietnam to sell to the US.

The US needs to be more self efficient rather than depend on foreign countries. It's a national security risk as Trump has said. -

Where is the rest of what Trump said? Typical, some lefttard posts a youtube video and cuts it off way before Trump is done speaking, and all the lefties spin in circles. -

That sounds more like the Biden administration which didn't do anything other than reverse some Trump exec. orders and throw money at stuff. -
OK, I guess it's a loan by the govt to individuals to increase govt revenue short term, but then pay back with interest upon maturity. I guess I knew that but wasn't thinking clearly.
