I keep fighting, but it sure feels like we are losing. You can add to "affordable housing" land for new manufacturing plants. If a company wants to avoid tariffs by building a new plant in the US, it would be easy to want cheap federal land to build it on. All we can hope is most of the Federal...
Because it is economic suicide. You can't "price that in". It was supposed to be a threat for negotiations. Clearly not enough countries came to Mar-a-Lago with a checkbook to grovel for an exception. Besset is doing the media rounds trying to justify it and no one is buying it with markets down...
The US has price floors on almost every Ag product, IF the producer can get the insurance. DOGE fired a bunch of people and closed a bunch of offices so getting the paperwork finalized might be harder. The US farmer might quickly learn what free capitalism really looks like and the new meaning...
All this data is from last month. The trend is as we would expect. We imported more stuff in anticipation of tariffs, inventories are high, prices were raised. The employment numbers should be troubling to everyone.
My main problem, one implied by your post, is the thought that the US has been getting "ripped off". Other countries have been bitching about how the US benefits from the system for the last 50 years, and the numbers show they are correct. We get to run huge deficits with zero impact on the...
The video talked about Canada's system. The US has plenty of programs that help the dairy industry, including price supports, that are similar to Canada's. Even players within the industry will complain about each other. Consumption of dairy milk has dropped for decades but things like cheese...
I have no disagreement with anything in the video. I'm not sure your point. If there are tariffs quotas, they weren't mentioned yesterday. Also of note, Canada and Mexico were absent from the list presented yesterday.
What I am sure of is every Chinese emissary is on a plane today flying to...
Some countries will see no need to retaliate. After all, the tax is on us.
Bessent was on tv asking for patience, trying to avoid escalation. We can start a pool on who takes the blame for this one. I got Lutnik.
That was from this morning, before the tariffs were announced this afternoon. I haven’t seen a real response from any country yet. Maybe by morning? Market is realizing he wasn’t joking and it wasn’t a negotiating tactic. He either doesn’t understand anything or understands perfectly and is...
I think therein lies the problem. Everyone sees it from their own perspective and how it affects them. That is why you can’t make progress. To your and others point, there is always something wrong with every idea. Sacrifices are hard.
You need to make a visit to Reserve. The crazy teeter totter is well balanced. I'm sure the ranchers hate wolves but love the payments and low grazing fees on NF lands. It's a conundrum. NM will probably increase the NR elk license to make the reimbursement pool larger. LOL
My guess is no, but I thought I would ask. But I would also add that I am skeptical that these wolves take down full sized cattle. That would be something to watch.
I noticed that when I was there. Cattle in the middle of the wilderness wandering around, the same places I saw the wolves. Are the cattle free range during calving seasons? If so, my give-a-shit meter drops dramatically. Saw lots of bear sign and i'm sure lions are a problem too. Doubt they get...
Is seems the question may be what should you try to burn points on and which should you accumulate points for 2031.? Also, how much lead time do you have to ask for the time off?
Here are my guesses
- I don't know anything about CO, but should be some good opinions on here.
- You won't have...
True. I wish I could separate the two. They just seem the same to me given the voter ultimately drives the clown car. I can also read this thread and get an idea of the lack of understanding in the benefits of higher education to society as a whole.
@JAG, below is good one too, more recent...
It is because of cuts to Federal funding for higher education under Reagan (not research grants that Trump is cutting now). States took up the funding shortfall until the GFC in 2008. They have been struggling with their budgets since, so they cut more (or increase state taxes). The cuts to...
I saw 4 when I was down there a couple of years ago. The cattle must have been calves because the wolves aren't very big. Washington is realizing the same...you want wolves you have to pay the price.
Ok, ok, a bit of hyperbole, I will admit. The dumbest will remain the dumbest, but mostly because they chose to. So ‘Merica wins again I guess.

Don’t worry, the plan is to do the same K-12 education. The good news is Artificial intelligence will give the ability to lift even the dumbest American to mediocre. Unfortunately the pay will be a slave wage.
