What is that, 5 major trade deals in as many days? Also reaffirming the Abraham Accords?

Also hearing Japan and South Korea are on deck for finalizing trade deals.

I can’t believe half of the country absolutely fell apart 6 weeks ago when this began.
Sounds good in theory… but I need some background as to how this isn’t just a rebranded version of price controls?

Is it supposed to work by basically lowering American costs and the manufacturer has to raise prices for other countries to offset lost revenue?

Y’all have no chest. He struck a deal with the UK. He will now make others.

How so? Is free and balanced trade with each US trading partner a negative for the American people?


Well… the 300k super car just got more expensive. It’ll have a drastic effect on 0.000001% of the American population. Even worse, it’ll bring 700B into the treasury that can be used to invest in America… or to offset tax cuts.


It is awful.

Shad is good people. Glad he’s peeling back the layers of the onion.
Well… probably should have paid the loan you took out. I have zero sympathy.

Also, 90% isn’t enough. Needs to be closed entirely.
Of course not. Because he’s not doing it, so that’s nice.

If you have an example that turns out to not be bullshite, I’ll denounce him as a traitor instantly. You’re up.

Yep. But the CEOs get a huge bonus when this happens while the workers get nothing but minimum wages. Imagine that


And the CEO makes multibillion dollar decisions daily, while the worker only has to ask “would you like fries with that”.

Yeah, I've read a couple of pieces where the guys basically say they agree with Trump in theory, but it's way too late to do anything, would take too long, policy will be reversed by a future administration, and and this will all hurt our consumer economy.


This is all true, but the alternative is to continue to be over reliant on our larger geo political foe for critical raw materials and manufacturing. Even if the production doesn’t shift to America, moving it to Taiwan or Korea is a win.

don't food processing facilities use it in refrigeration? or is that old tech?


Yes, ammonia refrigeration is a thing.

Ammonia is a key raw ingredient in a large number of herbicides, pesticides, and insecticides as well. It is the key molecule for agriculture.
No shite. Smart investors bought everything on sale. The best thing about the market today is the extreme volatility due to morons.
