Well the answer to your first question is that its explicitly unconstitutional.

Just divide our trade deficit by our exports to each country. That’s the ratio. Wait…..then….go ahead and multiply that by 1.

Remember when (maybe) Joe Biden looked at the time at Dover AFB?

Based on the last week, Jigsaw has earned her own thread

It can’t be said enough: if you take a secondment or political job on this NSC you absolutely deserve to get fired by Laura Loomer in the most embarrassing way possible. -
Depression: On track. Germany: Rearming. Third term President: Maybe. Gentlemen I take back all I have said, my Ags are on track to bring it all home in 2029.

America's Foreign Policy & Other Shit Going On Around the World thread
956 Worldwide replied to bolverk's topic in Cloak Room
Last week four American soldiers in a NATO enhanced forward presence brigade accidentally drove an M-88 recovery vehicle into a deceptively deep Lithuanian marsh and drowned. They went missing for days; the Lithuanians and Poles spared no expense or effort to find their bodies. When asked about them, Trump was not aware it hd happened. Today their remains left Lithuania and this is how the Lithuanian people sent them on their final journey. These are the people who Hesgeth and Vance called pathetic. This is a nation who Trump invited Russia to “do whatever they want with.” They treat us very unfairly, looting, pillaging, raping our economy. We are liberated at last from Lithuanians. America is great nation. America earned leadership, loyalty, admiration, even love. But Americans— except for maybe these soldiers— are not worthy of this. We are not equal in generosity or bravery or kindness to Lithuanians. Or Poles. Or Ukrainians. We have squandered our inheritance and can only hope to be one day re-welcomed, undeservedly, to the table. -
The amazing thing here is that for elasticity they basically wrote “this would ordinarily be 2, maybe 3, but we are just gonna go with 4.”

The Leopards Eating Faces and Unlubed Dildo of Consequences Thread
956 Worldwide replied to Horn Dog's topic in Cloak Room
Usually a 9/11 truther dictating the NSC’s staffing over the actual National Security Advisor would be a bigger deal. We are doing good everyone. To be clear on those staffers: Fuck ‘em. You have to fight for that detail as a career staffer or beg for it as a political. You thought you could get in the cage and your face got ate by a 9/11 truther. -

This could also explain how they ended up with the desolate Antarctic islands on the list.

We also levied a flat ten percent tariff on countries we have a trade surplus with. The USTR has not even bothered to make a joke explanation for that.

Cross posting this from DT for clarity on how fucking stupid the admin thinks (knows) America is. The USTR formulas had nothing to do with VATS or tariffs at all, just a simple ratio reflecting a bilat trade deficit. Its Exports to US- Imports from US/Imports from US. They added some smart-sounding Econ terms and expressed them with Greek symbols to make this look complex and smart. They fixed the value of epsilon at 4 and the value of psi at .25, ensuring that they will cancel each other out. A laughable and transparent attempt to just make this simple formula look informed and analytical because they trust Americans won’t check and if they do, they’ll be too innumerate to replace the Greek symbols and do the simple task of multiplying an integer with its reciprocal and see that they just added some fucking chrome hubcaps onto their clapped out Altima equation. They are absolutely right.

@ChickenSandwich , the USTR released the formula. It is Exports to US- Imports from US/Imports from US. Nothing to to do with VATS or tariffs at all, just a simple ratio reflecting a bilat trade deficit.

From the USTR calculation methodology exec sum. It really is this stupid. As the head of a boutique financial advisor firm, I note that Jose the weekly landscaper does not purchase any financial advising services from me and I am running a complete deficit with him. I decide to begin charging a property access fee to him until he agrees to stop the unfair practice of packing subsidized lonches and tacos made by his wife and instead purchase them from me (I’ve redirected my junior associate from working on finance stuff into the taco stand sector that our firm has been missing out on but I still pay him a finance salary).

He was tweeting today about how the Model Y is the best selling car in Norway and I wondered what was going on.

Noting again that my supermarket currently has a 100 percent trade deficit with my household, I have no choice but to begin paying 50 percent more for all their products as I seek to fully employ all workers (my kids) in the agriculture sector they’ve been excluded from thanks to unfair trade practices.

He veers into less insightful territory when it comes to (as you note) implementation. He is downright incoherent when it comes to security and the international system— he can’t decided whether multipolarity is good and we should try to get it or whether it’s just inevitable and we need to manage it, which calls for very different prescriptions. And he’s guilty of a particular type of wishcasting that pervades this administration, which is float the idea of “U.S.-led alliances” but only if the U.S. doesn’t offer anything in particular to merit leadership but everyone should just go along. Trump and conservatives are not particularly creative or innovative in noting that allies need to begin shouldering additional defense burdens, and more of it actually happened under the previous admin. Where the two part ways was the ability to actually retain U.S. leadership while the current trajectory is that they will keep rearming while also decoupling from the U.S., which is racing towards a world they don’t want to live in.

A lot of EU countries tried levy a digital services tax that does target US tech giants disproportionately. This has been a multi-admin gripe that could indeed have been part of a targeted tariff policy to prod action. That’s not what we got and the real issues like DST are all confused with true idiocy like calling a VAT a trade barrier (its not at all).
-
This admin does not give a shit about the market. It gives a shit about the people who are so rich they are insulated from what happens, and they give a shit about seducing people who aren’t directly invested in the market and are too ignorant to understand what this does to them. A “knowledge economy” worker with a 401k doesn’t matter to this GOP. “Knowledge” is the operative word as that is a profile trending away from the GOP. Lots of their leaders have remarked that they are the low-info and low-propensity voter now as borne out in the special elections.

Relevant to this discussion, this Reddit thread got a lot of traction yesterday. You read through the thread and find out that his “other schools” are Ivies, UC system as out of state, Duke, etc. He had a fantastic fucking outcome! UMass-Amherst is a great school! If it’s your safety then you did well. A lot of this is parent’s grind-set bullshit. The dipshit is also telling on himself when he explains that his firm won’t even interview you if you aren’t an Ivy product.
