The entire thing is meant to be temporary.
Labatt Blue beer. Better than that Budweiser swill.
$2.52 this weekend here in Rock Hill, SC outside Charlotte, NC.
I do.
In Westchester I have not paid less than $3/gallon in years.
That only works if you can shrink the federal budget by about 90%. Otherwise the inevitable reciprocal tariffs will cause massive damage to the economy.
Did Trump do anything that didn’t ?
Investing more effort in patrolling ones own Borders cuts down on smuggling, black market, and Human Trafficking activities...sounds like a good idea to me.
I was hoping it would've closed like a Venus Flytrap... and stay shut.Canada and Mexico agree with Trump to postpone tariffs by at least 30 days
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and President Claudia Sheinbaum have confirmed that President Donald Trump's tariffs will pause for a month. Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency is seeking to close USAID.apnews.com
This exactly.
To be fair, Sam Adam's is better coming out than Bud was going in.
Unless I'm mistaken, Gas is Canada is sold by the Liter, and it's 3.8 liters to a Gallon. Gasoline is always more expensive up there and others have pointed out that they lack refineries, then there's the exchange rate that's been around 30% forever...back in '87 when we can to Drum it was 50% and we'd go to Kingston most weekends...We had cash and they had titty-bars and Clubs all over the place!
My real concern is the temporary hike increase in lumber. Mostly because, I myself, am in the midst of a renovation. I am no longer in the building trades for daily revenue. Just a little here and there which, has no effect on me. Usually it's when guys I know just need a helping hand and, I'm not already booked.
Eastonmade. I'm extremely interested in a 37D with the 24D being the runner up.
Not I. I'm in agreeance with it. Would be a bonus if it stuck and reverted to pre 1913. Fuck tax theft.
100% in agreeance and awareness. The republic has been trailing behind the back seat for decades.I was looking over the numbers of the last 10 years of trade. Our trade deal with Canada minus oil is a decent one. More of a partnership really. Fair deal. Where it gets out of control is oil. Over 150 billion USD on that 10 year average goes north to our Canadian family. Now we for the most part accept this deal as we really don't need their oil and can drill ourselves for supply. But it helps our northern neighbors. So the real reason is simply Canada under Trudeau has taken advantage of us. Let me explain.
Canada allows migrants to fly into the country without documents. This began to overwhelm their system financially and strained resources. So in response the Canadian govt quietly were suggesting the United States as a final destination for these migrants and pointed them to the resources to get them to the border. New York state a major crossing. NYC housing, credit cards....aka free money the motivation.
Trump is only asking that Canada recognize the great deal they have. One which honestly is a subsidy for the Canadian govt and secure the northern border. That's all. But the Canadian problem is what to do with their current migrant policy which will break the system if they are to remain in Canada. We all know the answer but in an election cycle that would be political suicide for the left wing party in Canada.
As for tariffs as a whole, the United States is an 85% consumer economy. We buy. All spending and mostly on credit. Making nothing really of any quantity for export. This is a bad economic position for any country to be in.
WW2 victory was won because we, the U.S., out manufactured the enemy. Today that formula is the same but we cannot meet those obligations and we are reliant on foreign parts for weapons systems. lol
So we need a hard reset and for the Americans to be exposed to our real situation on the global stage. Trump is getting the conversation started. Wait til you really see how badly our friends have treated us.
Ohh so you're drinking on the job now?
This. Left unsaid in all the media coverage about tariffs is just how one sided they are. Our goods are taxed at outrageous levels while the tariffs to enter this country are very small. Trump simply wants everything to be equal, i.e. if our product to country x is taxed at 100% then their product to us is going to be taxed at 100%. Until the knuckleheads agree to lower the tariffs to a much more reasonable level.
Still breathing???
