descarado:1. Chinese Yuan being all time low is not necessarily bad for China, especially at this time of Trade war. Most time China deliberately bring down the value of Yuan. The goal is to make Chinese products cheaper for exports. 2. Of what use is an economic team to Trump when he believes he knows more than the experts and he alone can solve problems? 3. Yes China/Chinese exporters don't pay any tariff to Nigeria and no country pay any tariff whatsoever, but importers of these goods pay the tariff and the cost would be passed down to the consumers. Make no mistake about it, no West African nation charge as much as Nigeria on imports. Or why do you think cars and other imported commodities are cheaper in Cotonou and smugglers takes big risk to smuggle these goods through our porous bother? The problem with many Nigerians is that they prefer imported goods to 'show off' even when better qualities are made in Nigeria. But then it's their money, if they can afford it, let then flex it. But be rest assured the Government collect heavy duties on these imports. Nigeria Customs brings in one of the highest revenue to Govt after oil revenue, despite all the corruption in the system. 4. Don't mistake over bloated ego for balls. |

basilico:Cost of Housing is demand driven because capitalism is set up so people store their wealth in their homes and keep driving up the price of housing Everything else especially food is still in line with wages as it was 40 years ago |

basilico:Most of the posts from MAGAs on this thread about these tariffs have been similar to this. The argument that somehow tariffing China so that things like Iphone production can come to the US will allow people to work 1 job takes a special amount of Economic illiteracy to make. At least take some time and think through the idiotic things in your mind before you pen them and put it on full display for to world to see. |

ObaIgwe1:In uk, I pay tarrif for American goods. I love e made in American but they are not accessible and some are deliberately made not to work. I have been a victim multiple times. Have complained about it years prior to this. I don't bother looking into American markets for anything. And I buy some goods that are from America that is made not to work in uk yet they are sold in pounds. You don't know what you are talking about. I can easily buy stuff from China direct than from America. Why is it so since you know best? As for the rest, I am not interested in them. |

DOGE: The NIH has been quietly funding a nonprofit that sends direct messages to hundreds of minors’ cellphones, promoting content on “intimacy gadgets,” “lesbian sex,” and transgender sex—while actively urging these children not to inform their parents. Is this true |

ObaIgwe1:Trump already has a position about reversing the trade imbalances. That's why voters went for him. His close team if advisors are people Scott Bessent, nominated as Treasury Secretary, is a hedge fund manager whose wealth is estimated in the hundreds of millions, though some reports suggest he may be a billionaire. His exact net worth is unclear due to limited public disclosure, but his financial success is well-documented. Howard Lutnick, nominated as Commerce Secretary, is the CEO of Cantor Fitzgerald, with an estimated net worth of around $2 billion. Elon Musk, co-heading the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), is the world’s richest person, with a net worth exceeding $400 billion as of late 2024, driven by his stakes in Tesla, SpaceX, and other ventures. Vivek Ramaswamy, also co-heading DOGE, is a biotech entrepreneur with a net worth of approximately $1.1 billion. Kelly Loeffler, nominated to lead the Small Business Administration, has a combined net worth with her husband, Jeffrey Sprecher, estimated at over $1 billion. Paul Atkins, nominated as SEC Chair, is reported to have a net worth of at least $1 billion, largely tied to his family wealth and business interests These are people who had "a meeting of the minds " with Trump. Not just employees working to please the master because they already have mortgages. Feel free to withdraw your assertions. |

raumdeuter:Why do you think the person waiting for over 1yr to get a brain MRI scan chose to wait? Or are there no hospitals owned by private entities in Canada that can provide this MRI scan under 24hrs? Or what stops her from travelling abroad for it? Don't you think the problem might just be because she cannot afford the service under these private entities owned hospitals? Now if we remove social interventions like Medicare, ACA and Medicaid that your party is doing overtime to remove, reduce Government intervention in Health Services and then promote more private entities owned hospitals, with their corporate greed, with no regulations; what percentage of Americans do you think will be able to afford these private entities owned hospitals? Don't you think if you follow this route, the waiting time for MRI Scan in US will be worse than it is in Canada considering the population. Wrong? |

bemeruca:Comproboko boy, when I tell you something, just take it as gospel. It's not by beating chest, Saudi is extremely vulnerable to the Houthis having supported the Sunnis against the Houthis for 7 years and got trounced. They bombed the Houthis till they were tired and they still lost to those zombie whitewalkers who still took out half of their oil capacity and will do so again if Saudi no mellow. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abqaiq%E2%80%93Khurais_attack

Hey, SpaceX, Andorid17 and Basilico. If ultra Trumpers like Kash Patel and Pam Bond are not investigating, talking about, and prosecuting people for what you have been raving about for years, whether it be the "stolen" election, 5g in Covid shots, the corrupt FBI, mind control chips in oat milk or whatever distraction right wing media has ginned up at the moment, it is definitely a phony conspiracy your mind has allowed you to fall for. There is no deep state, Trump is the deep state. Republicans own all the branches of government and every means of investigation. If there are no perp walks for any of these things, you guys should just shut down your accounts. Just a friendly public service announcement. |

Ibime:When Iran is cut off the houthis won't be getting those toys and Saudi can defend against anything the houthis can throw. This is how hezbollah was hyped it took Israel less than 3months to degrade them to isis. The Houthis bomb the refinery unexpectedly so that means they can't fend off Houthi attacks? |
| Re: American Politics Thread: Trump Is The 47th President! by basilico: 6:23pm On Apr 09, 2025 |
Ibime:Houthis who spend 25% of their water growing Khat are just religious zealots fighting a religious war. Against the Saudis uta a 1400 war between the Shia and Sunni . Iran also fighting for supremacy attacks Saudi using the Houthi. When both Sunni and Shia are not fighting each other , they go for other religions.. A Houthi soldier who is killed by Americans is a martyr. Accorded high honours by their society Iran is the head of the snake, Reagan bombed Iran and they dindu nothing |

bemeruca:They have a thousands of missiles to throw at Saudi oil refineries for months before "Iran gets cut off" Even Pentagon officials admitted their strikes did not penetrate the Houthis deep enough Houthis are not Hezbollah who live within a peaceful Lebanese community and have to worry about the other peaceful Lebanese (Christians, Druze, Sunnis and secular). Houthis are the kid in school you will beat for 2 hours and he will still be shouting "You go kill me today" Saudi bombed Houthis incessantly for 7 years with every weapon made available by the Americans, same weapon Americans are using now and MBS finally had to give himself sense. Houthis were holding back and just the one time they go greenlight from Iran, they knocked out half of Saudis oil production https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saudi-led_intervention_in_the_Yemeni_civil_war |
| Re: American Politics Thread: Trump Is The 47th President! by bemeruca: 6:38pm On Apr 09, 2025 |
Ibime:How do you know it's thousands? They once said hezbollah has to the tune of 150k missiles and Israel will be overwhelmed. How did that play out? The Houthis could not threaten Saudis for all those years till Iran gave them a drone. We all thought it was Iran that attacked the refinery back then. |
| Re: American Politics Thread: Trump Is The 47th President! by basilico: 6:46pm On Apr 09, 2025 |
Ibime:Never compare Saudi bombing with America or Israeli.If America decides to bomb you , better say your last. https://www.axios.com/2025/03/30/trump-iran-nuclear-deal-bombing If they don't agree to a deal their nuclear facilities might go up in flames At this time the Iranians 4 S-300 defence systems were taken out by Israel ,so Iran is pretty vulnerable. The good thing about Trump is he is unpredictable, noone is sure what he will do next while he is offering you a way out For instance noone thought he would up the tarriffs in China to 104%. Shark Tank” star and investor Kevin O’Leary says President Trump’s tariffs on China aren’t high enough and calls for a 400% tariff on the country. “It’s time to squeeze Chinese heads into the wall " |

ObaIgwe1:She had to wait because hospitals are limited, Hospitals are limited because private investors do not have any incentive to invest in hospital Private investors do not have an incentive to invest in hospitals because its govt option and govt dictate the prices When govt dictate the prices, it makes it an unprofitable venture for any profit seeker to put money inside The few private owned will be way more expensive On the flip side, If the govt is not fully running Healthcare in Canada, There is a likelihood that many private investors would have built more hospitals, and they will entice patients by telling them our MRI is not 1yr, but 7months, next one will bring it down to 3months, before long you will be having 24hrs MRI like its in the Great USA. She can them pick her options. In America its common for hospitals to put up the wait time in their Emergency room maybe as a form of advertisement like this https://www.wnewsj.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/web1_CMH-billboard1.jpg https://www.palmbeachpost.com/gcdn/authoring/2010/09/14/NPPP/ghows-LK-5adc68fe-932e-447b-92d8-2778823e4c26-58f5e8b2.jpeg?width=660&height=372&fit=crop&format=pjpg&auto=webp To your point about Obamacare, Do you think people in America were not getting care before Obamacare? Even illegals with no insurance will walk into hospitals and get care in this USA at worst they g to the gov owned hospitals Some healthcare systems even try to avoid govt insurances. Govt healthcare and Obamacare have horrible reimbursements for doctors and providers and many providers and hospitals will rather not take it or take it as a very last option |

I just wrote that Trump is unpredictable. He has paused all tariffs for 90 days to all countries except to China. Which he has upped to 125%. [b]Donald J. Trump @realDonaldTrump Based on the lack of respect that China has shown to the World’s Markets, I am hereby raising the Tariff charged to China by the United States of America to 125%, effective immediately. At some point, hopefully in the near future, China will realize that the days of ripping off the U.S.A., and other Countries, is no longer sustainable or acceptable. Conversely, and based on the fact that more than 75 Countries have called Representatives of the United States, including the Departments of Commerce, Treasury, and the USTR, to negotiate a solution to the subjects being discussed relative to Trade, Trade Barriers, Tariffs, Currency Manipulation, and Non Monetary Tariffs, and that these Countries have not, at my strong suggestion, retaliated in any way, shape, or form against the United States, I have authorized a 90 day PAUSE, and a substantially lowered Reciprocal Tariff during this period, of 10%, also effective immediately. Thank you for your attention to this matter![/b] EU Komisar was in talks with China coordinating a response, let's see how that works. |

basilico:Bombing Iran or Lebanon, a civilian population with expectations of a certain level of comfort is different to bombing Houthis who have accepted rugged life and are zombies. USA can bomb them as they are faraway no problem, Saudi should stay out of it for their own sake. A word is enough for the wise |
