Congratulations. You have just proven that alternate universes exist.
What do you mean. I have always been against the Chinese. Don't think I've ever supported their actions without a 'caveat'.

Such happens all the time. Iraqi parliament once voted to lower marriage age to 9. Whether it passed or not, it's outrageous for someone to come up with that idea. It's unheard of, should never happen.

Trump threw a HUUGE wrench into the financial status quo of the world's economies! Everyone is paying attention now, and whatever we say here, Trump is in the driver's seat and shifting gears. The destination is FAIR TRADE, and the starting place was UNFAIR TRADE! So, Trump is by far the most GET THINGS DONE president we've had in a long time! Less than 3 months in, he's tightened the open border, given illegals fair warning to self deport, had SC decisions in his favor, lowered regulations, gotten $7 trillion in new business promises, gotten energy prices down, hostages released, peace talks in motion, ship attacks way down, Iran on a deadline to change, NATO members to increase spending AGAIN, and now trying to level the playing field of trade deficits fairly for everyone, including China!!! I'm inclined to trust his capabilities! CAN'T WAIT TO SEE WHAT'S DONE BY 100 DAYS!

One man's meat can be another man's poison. While you are seeing Armageddon under Trump many others are seeing Paradise.

---This was mentioned by Fox Hosts Charlie Gasparino (3:45) that whilst Japan was talking about making a deal---they are actually selling US bonds---because they don't have confidence in Felon 47--- Jessica Tarlov also RIPPED Felon 47 to shreds after he caved on his own plan to institute hefty tariffs on products around the globe---

Imagine a bright young woman like you applying to study law here and then Trump decides they can’t give you visa because you criticized his govt on social media. As if he alone the entirety of the American people. The revered king who can’t be criticized.

When in American history has that ever been a thing?

Anne Applebaum is a great writer. Thorough yet Concise.

"This autocratic takeover is precisely what Bannon, Roberts, and others admire, and are indeed seeking to carry out in the U.S. right now. The destruction of the civil service is already under way, pressure on the press and universities has begun, and thoughts of changing the Constitution are in the air. But proponents of these ideas rarely talk about what happened to the Hungarian economy, and to ordinary Hungarians, after they were implemented there. Nor do they explore the contradictions between Orbán’s rhetoric and the reality of his policies. Orbán talks a lot about blocking immigration, for example, but at one point his government issued visas to any non-EU citizen who bought 300,000 euros’ worth of government bonds from mysterious and mostly offshore companies," writes Anne Applebaum.

Cococandy,see how MSNBC lied about Joe Biden.

https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/daily-memo/2909317/the-best-biden-ever/#google_vignette
This article appeared on March 7 2024.

[b]THE BEST BIDEN EVER.’ On his MSNBC program Wednesday, former Republican Rep. Joe Scarborough launched an impassioned and aggressive defense of President Joe Biden — specifically, of Biden’s mental fitness to serve a second term as president. Scarborough’s performance was an attempt to show that the best defense is a good offense: In Scarborough’s view, the 81-year-old Biden is not only not declining cognitively, but he’s absolutely the best he’s ever been. And to majorities of voters, both Democrats and Republicans, who believe the president is not up to a second term, Scarborough had a simple message: “F*** you.”

Scarborough said he had “spent a couple of hours with Joe Biden, sitting, talking, going around the world as far as talking issues, talking the economy, talking inflation, talking.” After those discussions, Scarborough came to believe that Biden “might misplace a word here or there” but is in fact really sharp. “I undersold him when I said he was cogent,” Scarborough said. “He’s far beyond cogent. In fact, he’s better than he’s ever been intellectually, analytically. Because he’s been around for 50 years.”[/b]

---Nine out of ten worst Dow Jones losses happened during Felon 47 administration---between his first term and now---
---Just a recap---
---US 10% tariffs on every country still persist---
---Tariffs on specific products persist---
---US and China, the world’s two biggest economies, have essentially ceased trade and bilateral relations have sharply deteriorated---thanks to Hilly Billy JD Vance calling Chinese people peasants---
---Market volatility is back at GFC levels threatening severe dislocations--
---The US Treasury and the US Dollar, the world’s “safe” assets are weakening---
---Extra tariffs might very well come back on line in 90 days---
---The most critical point is that business forecasting remains impossible---because of the uncertainty over the next 90 days---
---The economy is very far from anything remotely predictable--the uncertainty alone can be very damaging for businesses. Economic models are, presently, defunct---
---This is the state of the world today---an equity relief rally / tariff pause is welcomed---but economic and financial fundamentals will likely deteriorate fast if this sort of volatility persists---which Felon 47 independently started---

It's not true that previous administrations did nothing to tackle offshoring. I don't want to engage in a back-and-forth comparison with Biden's administration. But its important to recognize that past administration should not justify the chaotic approach taken by Trump.

China ready to negotiate.

When you hold a man by the jugular, he knows.
China can't do without America and Xi knows that.

Trump slammed tariffs here and there to bring countries to renegotiate tarrifs that will be fits America and this is the only way to get it done cos they will never willingly agree.

When this is sorted, I expect him to start another controversy.

I understand your point about regulatory policies and finding a balance to bring back manufacturing. And I'm not completely against the idea of automation either; it just a concern shared by many.

My main focus is on the impact of Trump's tariffs and trade war.

It's not just Biden, it's every past administration for the past 40yrs who watched as American manufacturing shut down and the people and communities who depend on them left behind

If you notice, it's why Trump won all the rust belt states. The middle states who depend a lot on manufacturing and who got affected the most by the loss of manufacturing jobs after they were deceived for long

Yeah, Chinese are that stupid. They can't make 240V appliances, and that's why they sell no electronics in UK, and Nigeria.

Even their solar panels are limited to 110V, which is why you only install them in America?

basilico:
Nice article. One point. China will take a massive hit .Americans use 110V while most of the world uses 240V . You'd need a transformer for every gadget , shaving machine, hair dryer, toaster, etc to use it in other countries Millions of gadgets they can't sell.
As for industrial 3-phase industrial scale it's quite expensive to use transformers or variable frequency drives . Probably they'll have to dismantle them and rebuild them afresh
China can't channel their commodities through Vietnam or Sri Lanka etc because the rest are at 10% I presume during negotiations, they will have to strictly agree not to transship Chinese made products to America.

The Democrats is on the verge of being taken over by the far-left, they have radicalized there base to point they now supports domestic terrorism. Over the past weeks they have been actively rallyed for Ms-13 gangs they hate Trump so bad that they want the gangs back into the country.

AOC will signals the final nail to the coffin of the Democrats party if the far-left takes over the party. And the success of the Republican party depends solely on Trump, if Trump can scale through the storm successfully the Democrats can kiss the presidency goodbye for the next 20 years except they bring on centrist like Stephen A.

good lord you missed this one by a mile

china makes for everyone. americans are the exception with 110v. those chargers are by bluesky 220v, 380v. only issue is chinese use different colour coding for their wires. and today most electronics are automatic voltage switching, they dont need transformers. it is high current stuff like kitchen appliances and maybe large tvs. and as a nigerian you by pass this by buying such items from UK.

all this talk of china cannot do without america -

the modems we use in nigeria are all chinese. huawei, zte. i thought tplink was american - turns out they are chinese
china is also making a killing in solar - i am not talking about just felicity inverters - i am talking about huawei for high end users

it is actually the other way round - we buy made in china products from the us. i have been reading about how lenovo, asus etal laptops will not be shipped to us. people may start buying in bulk direct from china, not through any western intermediary. it is actually already happening. a lot of stuff in pc village is actually direct from china as in most of the logitech periperals etal.

and all those factories trump pretends he wants to build - with which materials ? his tariffs have driven the prices up.

my grouse with china is there is a wide range of quality from , certified for west to what you see is not what you get - works only in teh showroom . also most indigenous chinese products DELIBERATELY have poor or non existent documentation

I have to let go of my best SysAdmin. Not because he failed—because we did

This f***ing sucks. I’ve been fighting to keep my small team intact, but now I have to let go of the best sysadmin I’ve ever worked with. Not because he messed up. Not because of drama. Just cold, brutal economics.

He’s got that rare combo: deep tech chops, calm under fire, and knows how to talk to everyone — from end users to C-levels. People love working with him. He’s the guy who makes you feel like things are under control even when everything’s burning.

Now? Being replaced by someone overseas because the numbers look better on a spreadsheet.

I’ve watched this guy hold the fort when everything else was crumbling. He’s loyal. Professional. Human. I’d rehire him in a heartbeat if I could.

So yeah, if anyone’s looking for a rock-solid SysAdmin or experienced help desk pro in Atlanta, GA — someone who gets it done and keeps people happy — hit me up. You won’t find better.

Anyone hiring?
You should leave too, they are coming for you next. I had this same exact thing happen to me when I was a director. I spent a good portion of my last year of a company I was with laying off like 70% of my staff for overseas contractors. I was there for almost a decade. Just for my ticket to get punched when there was no more salary to cut but cuts still needed to happen. When companies are willing to dismiss good talent its the sign of the end times. Unless your on the top and able to last it out to rebuild when they change back from overseas in a few years. Its not worth it, go find something else.
greed is good. praise be to the shareholders! and of course elon is leading the way in his pursuit of h1-b indians who will settle for slavery
