  1. What a weird series of posts. It's ok to just say that you don't understand how each of the indices work and just want to emote.
  2. Viva la difference. Fortunately we are blessed with the cultural milieu of Texas where we get all expressions of the meat products.
  3. Those lamb chicharones are the holy grail. Very nicely done.
  4. See my first in that series of posts.
  5. Let me try another way. That chart is based on one of the Budget Lab at Yale analyses, right? Here is the effective tariff rates disaggregated: China - 99.4% Canada - 17.4% Mexico - 15.1% Rest of the World - 11.2% I think that the "fentanyl" tariffs are stupid, but the primary target here it is pretty clear. As I mentioned last page, I think this is all short-term bluster to set up a new trade framework, particularly with China. And I am ok with running that play. American consumerism may have to recalibrate. Anyways, Happy Easter buddy. If you want to take this up further in one of the tariffs threads next week, happy to do so.
  6. Individual levels of sister fucking among SEC schools. Texas 0% Aggy 25% OU 150% Alabama 150% Vandy, Tenn, UK, Auburn, Mizz, Ole Miss, MSU, Georgia, USC, UF, Piggy, LSU - 10% each Aggregate level of SEC sister fucking: 27.8% The extremely high, performative tariffs being placed on China is on main stage in the theatre. There is also the factor of weighting how much we bring in from each of those countries, but that's the gist of the point.
  7. In order to observe the full theatre effect you need to produce that figure in two panels: a. China and b. All others.
  8. Coming from that guy that actually regularly use to wish death on other posters here, I at least laughed.
  9. Eighty years of bipartisan national policy, lol. I can post videos of D and R politicians going back to the 80 and 90s talking about using tariffs to bring China to heel. Given the state of geriatric political class, some of those same folks are still in Congress. I think that the tariffs at these levels are a short-term tactic to kickstart all variety of negotiations on matters directly related to trade and many other issues not, across a variety of partners. It's just a opening play being run. It's not like we haven't had this exchange on another board. I think that most of these are lifted or heavily moderated by the end of the summer. And as discussed on the other board, I have skin on that. I don't think that Trump has any rigorous philosophical beliefs on anything, esp the economy. The rhetoric around it here is just political theatre. None of y'all said single shit from 2021-2024 when Trump I tariffs were approved and even expanded. I do think it's hilarious that you turned a post about NYT article about saving humanity from WWIII and the seizures that followed into tariff talk though. Like there aren't a million other threads for it Bozo.
  10. Y'all wilding, but just going to point out that LLY price in March 2023 was ca. 300 and change and today is is 840. In all fairness will point out that Novo was 72 and is 58 today.
  11. People get fleeced all the time on simple brained bullshit. Right, left and center. We've just gone totally political with it. GenX know about that pet rock shit.
  12. a lot of words to tell us that just don't know how the DJI works. It's ok. It was a stupid post, even in this fraught environment.
  13. Totally broken brained society.
  14. but it dropped today.
  15. I can't help you if you can't help yourself.
  16. Biden kept the Trump I tariffs and expanded them. The strategy that "literally never works". Y'all realize how transparent the politics are here.
  17. Why did Biden keep the Trump I tariffs targeting China on and even ultimately increase them when he took over office. Where were all the Chinese tariffs threads from 2021-2024 with the status quo hot takes? 100% on EV, 50% on solar, etc. etc.
  18. These bitches in here using my name in a discussion about Tulsi, I quote them and point out a NYT times article published yesterday relevant to the DNI. They start have a series of seizures. I know I know, I am the one trolling. Welcome to the Clown Room.
  19. Please do. You are nothing but bluster. The timelines just don't pencil out. The only potential roadmap I could see to even a starting point of a good robust study in that timeframe would be leveraging the FDA Sentinel system.
  20. IMO, it will be virtually impossible to design much less execute a well conducted study [in that timeframe] that settles the issue of vax related outcomes, much less the likely multifactorial explanation for the rise in autism diagnoses. RFK is silly to put this timeline out only to have to blow it up later.
  21. That drop was almost solely related to a now multi year trend in increased medical utilization and spending among seniors. The DJI is a funny index.
  22. I can appreciate that you probably believe that because I push back on some the insance drivel you roll out here. Like OMG there will no flu vaccine strains for the 2025/2026 season, and just regurgitating objectively false propaganda and misinformation on this thread and then ghosting when I torch it.
  23. spicy ketchup is good with fries. I would not use it to dress a burger or a patty melt though.
  24. I like mustard. and mayo. Also smash vs traditional makes a difference.
