Tariffs and Potential Inflation

[Hilljackoutlaw]

Probably true. I suck at hunting, but enjoy it. Anyway you were the one who responded and asked a ?. BHR just tries to troll me and i was responding. Get over it. There is an ignore button.

I digress, I enjoy most of your other posts. I'm just annoyed because for the better part of the last 4 years we didn't have to deal with these kind of posts as much. But orange man gets everyone so damn worked up.

Quality move on Trump's immediate response to Columbia's refusal to accept their own citizens back.

Columbia... on top of this, Columbian A and G visa holders immediately entered into a lock out phase.
2 hours later, Columbia flipped a 180*

When a country refuses their own citizens... that's flipping hilarious!

Reuters is catching up on the time frame as Columbia has already recinded it's position to refuse their own citizens. As far as the sorrowful Liberal media proclaiming the cost of coffee is going to skyrocket off the whoppin 20% of beans Star$ucks receives from them is beyond humorous. That 48% just can not stand they lost to someone they claim is garbage... What that says of their own???

U.S. and abroad already inflated the price of Star$ucks with their psychopathetic demand for what they believe is great coffee beans by paying to gain queenship holding their $$ cup of Joanne ... Beans known in some circles to gain their great flavor from the country's wizzardry.

I have hunch you are going to see it used a lot in the next couple months.

"The Colombian foreign minister, Luis Gilberto Murillo, said late on Sunday that “we have overcome the impasse with the US government”.

“We will continue receiving Colombians who return as deportees,” he said. His statement did not specifically say that the agreement included military flights, but it did not contradict the White House announcement."

You can't be serious. Here is biden on tape, bragging about his corruption. Why do think Putin thought of Biden as a paper tiger?

Listening to Biden talk in that video compared to the last 3 or 4 years, is like listening to two different people.

Orangeman angers Big Oil executives.

Oil Executives Fume as Trump Shakes Up Climate Rules Again | OilPrice.com

Big Oil faces an unexpected dilemma as Trump's reversal of Biden's climate policies jeopardizes their costly transition investments and creates uncertainty for the future.

oilprice.com

"Occidental Petroleum’s direct air capture plans are a case in point. The oil major back in 2023 bought a company developing technology that can suck carbon dioxide straight from the air. Oxy spent $1.1 billion on that purchase, eyeing a market that BloombergNEF said could grow into a segment worth $150 billion annually. And the Biden administration was shouldering part of the costs with subsidies. Now, these are gone, threatening the very survival of direct air capture—and more conventional carbon capture investments. No wonder Occidental’s chief executive approached Trump directly during a campaign event to argue the case for leaving IRA funding for carbon capture untouched. Oxy is far from the only one spending big on the transition and carbon capture. Exxon has also spent heftily on developing a carbon capture business."


The only way industrial carbon capture could become a $150 billion annual industry is by implementing a national carbon tax, which would be paid for by the consumer. Canada has a carbon tax and it is highly unpopular. If Oxy was foolish enough to take government subsidies to enter into this kind of investment, I don't feel bad for them one bit.

Whats really hilarious is that Columbia is a HUGE buyer of US corn. One of the top importers of our corn, in fact. And they have threatened a big tariff on it now. All those midwest farm folks or people that rely on them that voted for the orangeman forgot what he did to them the first time I guess.

Missing the fine print that says "unless you are rich and can afford to pay our wealthy landowner friends"

 

[ismith]

it wasn’t brushed anywhere. Voters just needed to blame someone and whoever is in charge is the easy target. It happened across the globe.

Thank goodness reversing the DEI stuff is tops on the agenda. That will really bring down prices. This is all stupid. We seem to be matching dumb ideas with more dumb ideas and getting nowhere toward solutions on the real problems. Is it wrong to root for a huge asteroid to head this way?
