so when Trump issued the tariffs on the penguins, and you came here to post that you were "loving every minute of it"

did you know he was planning to do a 180? and that's why you were so happy at the time?

I was loving every minute of Trump fighting to change the global order.

Nothing has changed since.

Let me know if you want me to repeat this several more times.

This is what it looks like when I go into someone's username. For spam registered users, the system by default puts them into the Never/No category. Again, not sure why thethe's stuff was altered during the migration, but I was just as surprised to see they were set to no-no-no-no when I went to his name. So yes, as much as I love watching you guys bicker and clown on thethe, he legit wasn't going on one of his sabbaticals/extended mental breaks this time.

Got it. So doing the broad tarrifs and canceling the broad tarrifs were both brilliant strategy us simpletons just can't understand

Lol you'd think there would be some embarrassment to slobber every contradicting position another man takes, but nope. Triple down baby
 
S&P is down 5% today. Isn't it thrilled that China is cornered and a new Americam age is upon us?

Perhaps Trump should put the tarrifs back on to reverse the markets higher??

Who was talking about 2022 anyway?

When you get something correct, call us otherwise sit this out

Do you know the 2025 farm lending guidelines and Rates?

Know input estimates ?

Commodity prices ?

I just talked to the biggest landowner on the next county and he owns the gin.

He’s selling land.

No one sells land in this business. Not in his position .

His neighbor just sold all their 7M equipment fleet and shut it do

In your post you said: "More farmers have gone belly up the last two years than any period in my lifetime."

And I responded with the following:

This WSJ article makes some interesting points about trade in services. We run a substantial surplus in services. Surely this should taken into account when calculating "reciprocal tariffs." But for some reason there is this irrational focus just on manufactured products. Surely it is more important that we be competitive in high-paying services industries than in making toasters.

As dumb as you are i believe you made a great point about how stupid it would be to retrain American manufacturing for low value goods like toasters and socks rather than invest in high value things like technology and services

But MAGA wants a 60 hour union job at the factory making $20 and hour stiching socks that will costs $12 a pair
 
We have this strange fetish about manufacturing when in fact services industries are where most high paying jobs are.
