  1. no they haven't, none of the tariffs against China have mattered at all except for shit like BYD/EV. It's all talking points to score points with the rubes. China has been doing what Trump is doing now for the better part of 20 years, blatantly stupid shit, they have a different position on "oligarchy" and do things like wipe out their billionaires so they don't turn into Elon Musk.
  2. I'm saying that is likely a bad play, if embargos happen and we tell the world to pick sides, I don't think people are gonna pick china even with trump the lunatic in charge. It would be a massive gamble that China would magically convert everyone who loathes doing business with them in a snap call. I've been sour on China and cheap Walmart shit for quite some time now, it was always going to end this way.
  3. Do you study much on what's going on there? I'm not sure negotiating in earnest is "capitulating", now if they just cave and give into whatever the fuck Trump tells them that's different. The China thing has been brewing for a while, it's not like trump just cranked the stove, China has been an issue that everyone has been kicking the can down the road on because it's basically state sanctioned slavery.
  4. I'm not sure that everyone's read on China's current position is correct. They are in fairly dire straights, probably even worse than the US from the debt crisis. It's why no one is saying the Yuan will replace the Dollar as the world's reserve currency, they are completely unstable right now. It's also telling that the only 2 countries that are escalating to crazy levels are between the US and China. I'm just trying to figure out the play here, the play can't be embargo each other.
  5. I'm not sure I understand China's play here, also are Taiwan and China regarded as the same for Tariffs? I thought the US treated them differently. The Singapore PM is a smart dude.
  6. This economy has nothing to do with the next election that is 17 fucking months away. Or the one that's 41 months away.
  7. Or you know, stop taking the bait and stick to the fucking thread topic which isn't dems fuck up everything and the economy is their fault.
  8. I have a person in Austin, same thing. Friday/Saturday delivery
  9. I can't tell if ojo is trolling or just a complete fucking idiot.
  10. It's easy to sell stuff/raise money when you just fucking lie about it. Elon Musk has overpromised and underdelivered throughout his entire career and he's always been in a position to capitalize based on hype - his early money came in the form of acquisitions when he was barely involved as anything other than a hype man (in paypal's case he was just the largest shareholder during acquisition as he was fired by the board for being a moron). Tesla he bought into and latched onto the "future" of EV, stock trades at an insane multiple and he funded it using clever tactics with government funding and public stock fundraising. Tesla was (and still may be) unprofitable to the point of insolvency without government subsidies, grants and assistance. SpaceX is more of the same, everything after that is just late stage the same thing.
  11. the ONE STOP SHOPPING stands out for the wombo combo tariff bypass thing, thanks for the context.
  12. I don't use twitter or truth, you can post it in this context it's primary source of info for the discussion.
  13. Do you think these are the types of deals that eventually get worked out and that's why the market isn't spooked?
  14. You would just get 2 rooms with a connecting door not a 2/2 condo or standalone unit. Mexico is very cheap. The AI is more for the service and convenience of not having to think or find anything.
  15. Closest thing we have.
  16. There's a whole fucking election thread, use it.
  17. I have no explanation for anything that happened today.
  18. Staying on Island is great if you aren't planning on doing any excursions and chillin on the beach and resort exclusively. Town is pretty small and you can make it work for a whole week, but why would you when you can stay mainland and do it for just a day? Car rentals are very strange in MX - you should likely just stick to the majors. I use https://www.autoslash.com/ all the time now, it's awesome.
  19. This thread is embarrassing for all participants. Imagine even pretending to give a shit about this unless you knew these people or were around these communities.
  20. no they are just normal. That's what normal people do now. It's you who has lost touch with the current reality.
  21. Stay on the economy. Stop derailing shit.
  22. Yep, totally fuck this board up. Lmao. I should just let you mod and ban everyone you don't agree with.
  23. Also, I'm not mad and no one is in trouble or gonna get banned or anything. I'm just trying to get the people reading to understand my vantage point as the person who you know, is responsible for keeping the community healthy. Stuff like this is obviously unhealthy.
  24. I think you have your answer directly above your post.
  25. I'm just trying to have him eat my dingle berries.
