as a nigerian, it is very funny

people sign MOUs all the time. they do big ceremonies where they shake hands. none of this means anything until the facility is completed.

at every point people are doing feasibility studies to ensure that the facility will actually be profitable

i posted a link the other day about the only phone assembly factory ever built in the us. built by google/motorola. shuttered in one year

as a person who worked in corporate nigeria, i am very very familiar with all this fanfare.

in my old place, they were bragging about building a refinery as far back as 2007. to this day they have not done it - because the numbers dont add up.

you can get away with the above in china. even magats will not go for these working and living conditions

or is it bangladesh sweatshops with children?

You do realize Nigerians could also be manufacturing a lot of products , say even generic drugs but because we won't steal IP we are curtailed.

cococandy:
except we are actually forced to stick to Tesla as our first choice of EV because competition from other countries are not allowed in America. If Chinese EV were allowed here, Tesla would be out of business

can and does are not the same. Again putting the cart before the horse. Do you jump off the bridge without first making sure your landing pad is safely secure to catch your fall?

Isn’t it sensible to make sure you’ve position your landing pad first and then jump?

I fear that’s common sense.

You just can't have zero tariffs on every product. If the tariffs were fair noone would be cursing Trump for enacting tariffs.
Whether China agrees to remove all taxes, America can't do the same because most of the manufacturing is outside of America and in China specifically . When Trump 1.0 introduced tariffs to China ,a lot of their companies moved to Vietnam. Others set up shop in Canada and Mexico where they could manufacture in China,then assemble in Mexico and send them tarif free to your doorstep.
I don't know why you people are bitter when Trump is basically saying. We are their biggest market ,we need to be able to sell to them too.
China ,and I've posted a long story about them. Won't allow you to operate without local partners . Difference.Once they know how your product is made they open a competitor across the street and compete with you .They will change the brand name so slightly ,a lot of buyers won't know . For instance, Samsung competitor becomes Sansung with exactly the same outward appearance. IOW they don't respect IP,they sort of encourage it

This is what Trump is battling. I want a bully who will stand up to China first.
China is the second largest economy yet WTO ranks it as a developing economy, under GATT they attract lower tariffs .

cococandy:
Why would this administration not first ensure that manufacturing is up and running before placing heavy tariffs if he truly means to bring manufacturing back to America? Isn’t that senselessly placing the cart before the horse?

Tariffs are a leverage Every other country is rushing to DC to negotiate. True you can't force nations to buy Teslas or other products, there are commodities that every nation produces and had to protect.
America can literally produce anything , most @ higher cost but quality is guaranteed.
If I need to buy anything American made I go for quality.
Whatever we get from Chinese for Africa market is just meant to work as bought new, most don't live up to their reputation. Chinese products for Europe and America market is good quality mainly because they are stringent on standards.
If America blocked Chinese imports , Africa will get high quality products. Cheap is expensive .

As long as there is demand,it will only take suppliers a short while to meet it.

descarado:
Have they stopped vandalising tesla show rooms and cars?

Did it get the desired results.
What next in the agenda?


I read some one comment about Obama and it got me thinking.
No ex president of America has involved himself in present administrations like Obama. He can come and contest for 3rd term since he don't want to leave the stage if that is possible.

This guy's wife is a Green Energy Executive whose mission is a Carbon free environment.

Justin and Emily Fisher, who reside in the exclusive Capitol Hill area, released a joint statement through their respective attorneys.

In it, they described themselves as longtime residents of the District who “voluntarily came forward and cooperated” with law enforcement.

“Our understanding is that the allegations in this case involve non-violent and non-destructive conduct that resulted in no property damage,” the statement read.

“We trust that the government and the court system will treat our clients with fairness and proportionality.”

”We look forward to ensuring their constitutional rights are upheld in accordance with the rule of law.”

Police say that several vehicles were marked with messages attacking Elon Musk, including one belonging to a teacher parked at her elementary school.

A total of six incidents were reported, including one vehicle that was vandalized on two separate occasions
The offense of defacing private property in D.C. carries a maximum penalty of a $5,000 fine and up to one year in jail.


Talk about derangement.

Its tomorrow already, and the UK premier has spoken.

Show me please where he said globalisation has failed.

Also tell me what you understand the below to mean.

I'll do a follow up. Has globalization succeeded. With 170 nations applying higher tarriffs on America than the rates America charges them tariffs

It is the nature of all NAND storage.
It was a design choice I MADE understanding hardware and my needs.
You as usual run your mouth without the basic understanding of what you are talking about.

At a point you'll learn to stop running ur mouth and compounding your foolishness.

NAND Flash Memory
NAND flash memory is a type of non-volatile storage technology, meaning it retains data even when the power is off.

In the real life I know they don't let you. The pig you are just makes it difficult for the pussy owner to challenge you.

And you don't just grab their pussy, but forcefully have sex with them despite them saying no. What's sadder though is you'd grab children too and claim they let you. Then you'd go about pointing your fingers at others.

As usual you don't get the man talk. If you are rich , they can let you grab them by the pussy. He never said he grabs them He meant some women no matter their status can do anything for men just because he is rich and successful
Find out what acts Tiger Woods was doing to his girlfriends, if he wasn't rich they would have never given him a minute if their time.

3 Panel Appeals court Upheld Judge's decision forcing Trump to return the person deported to El Salvador(Garcia) by midnight.
Calling Trump's argument unconscionable

Trump's attorney should call Bemeruca to argue their case in front of these judges.
Because clearly no one understands it like Bemeruca.

This is some shameless stuff from any US administration.
Not who the US is.

Have not seen the rest. The 3 panel judge how many were Obama and Biden judges

Anyway the SCOTUS overruled the activist Appeals court by 5-4. They followed the law. The other court was just judicial activism.

IjeBos:
GloriousGbola is absolutely right, you don't have any idea what you are talking about.

Let me help you out, the thing circled is a heatsink for the 2 M.2 drives underneath.
I have the hdd there because though slower, they are still dependable. I use it to store data that is barely accessed that I want on that computer if I can't ever access my server.
It was a purposeful design choice when I built the computer, though I have other larger unused ssds.

At work I have server rooms in several countries.
Not this but get the drift....This is someone's home server setup.

IjeBos:
You should heed the advice on the heatsink in my pc.
(a little bit dusty inside, have to open it up and clean it out this weekend).

Is that the heatsink that has a Raspberry Pi inside it?

cococandy:
From your mouth 🙌🏽

Can we take stock on this by 2027. Using this guide.

As of Jan 2025 ,I was worth X.
As of Jan 2027 I'm worth Y.

If X > Y then Trump policies suck
Else Trump is doing great.

No figures ,just X and Y.

cococandy:
I don’t know why you bother.I don’t take seriously anything you share from right wing propaganda hub.

I have my eyes and I saw millions of Americans in the streets protesting against him. It doesn’t matter whether they were bussed or flown or ferried to the locations, the fact is that they wanted to be there and they made it happen. That’s a testament to the feeling in their hearts about him. What’s difficult to understand about that?

The people you guys get your “facts” from said George soros paid 5 million people $100 million dollars each to protest against Trump and Trump shared it on his social media. That’s more money than what’s available in the whole world. A Simple Google search puts the estimate to be around 80-123 trillion dollars available in the whole world. Maybe he didn’t realize how much money that actually is. Maybe he’ll delete it when someone points it out to him (if he hasn’t already). But it’s sad that is how he gets his “reliable” information and you guys parrot what he says.

If George soros has 500 trillion to pay 5 million people, then he must be God or something to magically make such amount of money appear out of thin air. Even Elon who is currently the richest doesn’t have a trillion dollars. Is this making sense?

If I were you, I’d sit with that information and wonder if those are the kinds of people who I’d want to be listening to. The devil is in the details.

Please I don’t enjoy being harsh to you. Sometimes after I’ve been harsh, I kinda regret it because I don’t know what kind of reality you’re operating from where you easily believe such things and it makes me think you’re extremely impressionable hence I regret the harshness.

But I’d like it if you evaluate the information you absorb a bit more critically. You guys tend to believe the most ludicrous things and it’s hard to respond to that in a way that doesn’t leave you feeling slighted.

Dems have a well oiled machinery. Thousands of non profits that mobilize.
Obama had his own . Organizing for Action.

Half the country didn't vote for Trump. everyone knows that
The other half has no time for Street protests sponsored or organized by people whose goats are being eaten by Trump.

I saw some data I hadn't thought about
China exported $600B more than it imported.
America imported $1.2T more than it imported.

Wow that's huge.
Trump is in it for the long haul.
At the end obviously you can't have zero tariffs and there has to be some protective taxes or limits to quantity of products that can be imported.
For example. Are Vietnamese going to buy higher end American products ,yet they have Nike factories that export to America.

🚨 HAPPENING TODAY 🚨

An Anti-Trump protest in Washington, D.C., organized by the 50501 Movement, is busing protesters into the city on what they call “high end busses”. According to the protest’s website, alcohol is permitted on board the buses.

The protest is called “The People’s Veto: Hands Off!”

The purpose is to protest
@elonmusk
and
@realDonaldTrump
, and the invite openly calls for the protesters, who organizers are trying to GET DRUNK on the busses, to TAKE TO THE STREETS.

Organizers are using the ride share all RALLY to get these protesters to the Washington Monument today.

Proof the radical left is BUSSING IN PROTESTERS FROM AROUND THE COUNTRY TO CAUSE CHAOS IN WASHINGTON DC.

As I exclusively reported back in February, the 50501 movement traces back to the Democrat’s fundraising platform ACT BLUE, as well as a group called the “political revolution”, which was born out of the
@BernieSanders
campaign.

@LoomerUnleashed
is on the ground in Washington DC today to cover these Bussed in protesters.

Go through the extensive link . Else you will continue wallowing in ignorance and misguided notions.

Budaatum.
Your globalists want no challenge to their authority.
Two men are to play in pool finals in the women's category in UK.

How Jeffery Goldberg got onto the Signal chat
It was just an error. An embarrassing error where a saved contact had sent Waltz a text with Goldberg phone number. Goldberg had sent a query to the RNC or Trump campaign,then Waltz was tasked to respond . He didn't,but the number got added to his existing contact without his knowledge. Hughes the contact was supposed to be on the chat group.

https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/apr/06/signal-group-chat-leak-how-it-happened

Goldberg should have exited the chat , but he lurked looking for the opportune time to take down Hegseth in particular. Traitorous over glorified liberal nutjob.

I never pretended to be a coder

A workstation has a max of 128gb of ram. My thinkpad has 4 ram slots

It has 4 drive bays

It originally shipped with a 512 nvme drive and 16gb of ram

Today it has a 1tb nvme, 512gb nvme 2 2tb hdds and 40gb of ram. I may make this 48gb so I will have dual channel mode ram running.

I bought the device for performance, so that I can run multiple apps concurrently

TRUMP: "I think your question is so stupid. I don't want anything to go down, but sometimes you have to take medicine to fix something — and we have been treated so badly by other countries."

Bongino has no experience being Deputy Director? He can read the minds of criminals. Better than Blaise Ford.

FBI Deputy Director left a $4.9 million annual income gig to be a $220K federal employee Who does that if not for a good reason.

Yep. It was really like this in over thousands of cities/towns in America.That’s multiple major cities per state (red and blue) alike.

Sponsored by George Soros and others.
50501 movement
Indivisible
Many didn't even know what they was protesting about
These are the ones funding leftists to smash up Tesla cars and shops
Buses preloaded with signs.
Lots of Muslims and masked Antifa bused. Masks are camouflage not for stopping the spread.
They were allowed to take alcohol in the buses.

There were some flyers paying $40 an hour to protesters. I'll post it later

These are paid protests. Someone on X has the geo-locations of phone numbers registered via his apps .A lot of these protesters also showed up at most Kamala Harris rallies.

😡The protesters Loomer Unleashed caught on video getting dropped off in BUSSES today were given signs as soon as they got off the busses. The bright red signs say “SOCIALISM BEATS FASCISM”.

Notice there is a heavy ISLAMIC😡 presence at these protests.

RED-GREEN ALLIANCE: Funded by the Democrats.😡

I feel you don't know that globalism is the idea that events in one country cannot be separated from those in another and that economic and foreign policy should be planned in an international way.

Would USA stop importing olive oil and coffee?

Will the US dollar stop being the reserve currency of other countries?

Are dump's tariffs not global?

The world is global economically. Politically a group of corporates are trying to be defacto rulers. Live in 15 minute cities , don't eat beef, get COVID passports , EV cars by 2035, Accept every illegal immigrant, hold democrat elections including Libya, Syria, Iraq for example, support Ukraine war efforts.
Politically . Globalism is a big fail The UN has the ability to solve international crisis, including the ones created by globalists.

bemuruca, perpetually stupid and incapable of doing even one thing properly

childhood malnutrition really did a number on you

i have some employees like you, unfortunately. unable to multitask and requiring micromanagement. i am not sure you can even piss properly without instructions on how to hold your dick without being told what to do

i mean, all you do is repeat talking points from right wing grifters all day.

this is a 3d model of a proposed cng daughter station i did for your so called employers last year

this is a member of my team on a small project for the same nnpc

too bad i have reached my picture limit

now say something even more stupid

a so called former it support at nnpc and all the clown can talk about is managing computer ram. that is the ediat who was talking about windows 7 pcs

i put 16gb ram as baseline and 32gb as preferred in the systems.
dont want my autocad or sketchup or anything else lagging.

leave managing ram to fake it support like bemuruca

I don't have a big problem with you calling me names .
You also seem to have some career.

Apart from excel sheets , nothing of substance. Thinks the stock market works like a fish market

I bet Starmer says dump is destroying globalisation, but dump will fail.

I don't see how you who benefits from globalisation thinks it has failed. Is it because dump stopped your usaid funding?

USAID funding is not stopped. It's under state department. In any case organizations do annual budgets and get funded . USAID is not the only one and the funds it spends on say studying transgender mice is what's been stopped.
That aside , globalists are running to the hills. They can see their power and theories get dismantles by a gentleman called DJT.

Judge is certainly under investigation for his role in J6 persecution using an act that was reversed by the SCOTUS. As if he didn't know that Obstruction did not apply to the cases he presided over and handed out harsh sentences.

Why this prosecutor apologized in the first case
They should show up in court, flash the middle finger sign and tell judge to go pound sand . Tell Boasberg that their preemptive pardons are already signed.

It's odd that you seem to live such a sheltered life that you think these things are so out of the ordinary that someone would make it up. Or maybe it's just the type of people they profile, that doesn't include u.

Oh okay You sure have do many experiences in life
Ever had a near death experience you might want to share ? Because next time someone describes such you will also barge in with your own version that you experienced.
I hope you can also anticipate what experiences we might be interested that you have gone through in real life or in your imagination..
A good one like when your $190K sports car was hit by a white supremacist in a truck, they took you to a morgue thinking you was dead... Something like that..
