a counter tariff on our ag industry is laughable when we're literally feeding them.

I remember first term, Trump subsidized farmers who grew soybeans, since suddenly there was no market for the soybeans they already grew.

I don't remember the timing off the top of my head, but nobody has planted yet this season. I wonder if farmers will choose to plant less soy this year.

If not, shit baby you knew the risks of continuing to rely on China to buy your soy. Leaning toward no subsidy this time myself.

3. China is blatantly threatening to kill Americans here, since fentanyl is flooding our country because of China. Trump should declare various pharmaceutical companies in China terrorist organizations and target them with drone strikes. Maybe embargo Mexico's ports and inspect all deliveries from China for fent?

"Ohh a building blew up in China? Why do they think it was us what was the building? Maybe they just built it wrong" -Trump on the stealth airstikes against fentanyl production globally

With yesterday's decisions having come to pass, I'm starting to think that perhaps Roberts is only flipping on decisions where his choice will impact the ruling. If ACB doesn't cuck, he will.

That follows with what Gehenna said about Roberts, about how he's obsessed with not rocking the boat.
 
So uh, has anybody went to go check on the Democratic Party?

Not the people at the bottom of the pyramid but those at the top. What’s their plan immediate plan right now? And what’s the short term plan for the future you think?

I really don’t think “dietrump” works anymore, does it?

There was exactly one brief period in American history where buying and holding to maturity was financially smart. It's easy to spot:

The Boomers were too young from 1978-1983 to buy Treasuries in meaningful numbers. In the late 70s and early 80s, Boomers were buying houses, not bonds, and paying mortgage interest rates in the 20s. By the time they had anything signficant to save, rates had already fallen to the single digits and were continuing to fall until they hit zero right around the time they started to retire. If you buy a 30-year today and plan to hold to maturity, you're just financially shooting yourself in the foot.

I love this image. You could put it in a textbook as use it in a lesson plan, or just hand it to someone and immediately figure out their IQ. It's the closest thing I have found to the infamous breakfast question when it comes to figuring out an individual's political acumen.

So ... egg prices are still expensive, but stores cannot stock them because people keep buying them or demand cannot be met?

Lets stop doomering and just have fun again. This shit isn't that serious at the end of the day.
