DAMN IT SLACK!! STOP AGREEING WITH ME!!!


:lol:, well to be fair I don’t think this was some 4D chess move to preempt climate change tariffs. It was just the quickest route to get what he wanted and it might have worked.

So other nations can enforce tarriffs, but not the U.S. Stupid mother frickers!


That’s not at all what was decided.

If so easy and you saw it coming, why didn't you travel to DC meet with President Trump and show him your evidence? Could it be because you are full of dung?


Trump is smart enough to know this was likely the outcome when he started.

Can easily go back and re-do them, but the clusterfrick is refunding already imposed tariffs and what is that process.


And who do we pay. Many here say foreign companies have born the cost. Dems say consumers have paid for them. :lol:
So slightly more than half of 2025 tariffs have to be repaid.
quote:

That sucks….so basically it’s ok for other countries to rape us tariff wise but we cannot use tariffs to reciprocate and be used as negotiating measures without our useless congress’ direction….is that right?


No that’s not right.

No we just have to do it on better grounds.

Tariffs can’t solve this problem but could help ease the pain somewhat. If the Supreme Court rules against tariffs, we’re facing some cost cutting like never seen


:lol: cost cutting?

The realities of what AI is about to do to the global economy over the next decade are beginning to set in


So we’re going to spend more money than has ever been spent to build it all out and then crater the economy? How is that math supposed to work?

SCHD up 13% YTD, just doesn’t own a single sexy name.

Even equal weight SP500 up 3.75%.

Hopefully a year for diversification to work.

The real caveat: M2 money supply per person from the year 2011 to now has increased by over 100%





This isn’t per capita, but going back to 1990, silver prices have always reverted back to M2 supply. Maybe this time is different, but for something that’s allegedly so manipulated, it has done a remarkable job of tracking M2 until the last 12 months…
Not only snail mail, but the contribution information on mine was stamped on the back of the letter :lol: it was like I was transported to 1990.

Has anyone announced the rollout date yet? I just tried to see what I could buy with some old bitcoin, and the only thing I could find was a bazooka, under age Guatemalans, and a bunch of stuff in the OT peptides thread.


Im not some BTC maximalist or anything, but to act like BTC is still some obscure MtGox token still is asinine.
This is an incredibly defensive bunch. Don’t sweat it.
I get a kick out of the manipulation claims when things fall. Never mind the parabolic rise the last 3 months, it’s only manipulation if it goes down apparently.

People are/were trading a crazy amount of silver on margin. It’s incredibly normal for that rise to get wiped out in a hurry when it turns around.

got out of the Grand theatre on Johnston St ( took the wife and MIL to see Melania) and we stopped at CC’s to get a coffee and I saw the spot was down to $83 but still $122 in Shanghai and realized I was a half mile from Coin & Treasure on Congress so ducked in real quick and picked up 3 sleeves of American Eagles on a credit card. Even with the $200 of swipe fees I got them for $90. Probably the best impulse buy I’ll ever make.


Just need a flight to Shanghai now to profit.

Early 2026 will be the year that Bitcoin skyrockets.


How early? :lol:

This would be the absolute worst timing in this history of 320 discharges, but it is possible.
