I believe Micron is still on track to building a Fab in CNY, Globalfoundries should be breaking ground on expansion hopefully in near future here in Cap. District of NY. Wife isn’t sure how they’ll staff it as they’re having trouble keeping the people they have now.

CHIPS act was kicking fucking ass for bringing chip fab on shore. Have plenty of clients in mechanical and electrical contracting for data centers, AI, and chip fab; 2024 was an incredible year in that space. 2025 was heading in the same direction.  
 

No idea how that’s going to go for any project that isn’t fully funded and product sourced. Already seeing Mag 7 companies tightening up on projects. I imagine plenty of material required for fabs and production are subject to random tariffs, and international engineers aren’t going to want to deal with our shitshow visa system.

Who is this Lutnick asshole? Had never heard of him, was he highly regarded in anything every before? In a sea of spineless cunts debasing themselves for an evil clown this fucker is really going all out. 

If they were in a fraternity lutnick would be Trump's little brother. He's idolized trump since the early 90s.  Other than the presidential powers that Trump has, Lutnick is more dangerous- he's much smarter but incredibly has even less common sense.

You know, one thing that occurred to me is that if I'm an American exporter who might be hurt by retaliatory tariffs from other countries, especially if my primary export market is China, why wouldn't I set up an assembly plant in Mexico, or hell, even in China, to avoid tariffs on my product?

Of course, this would, in turn, negate any job growth incentive at my existing American facility and would, in fact, make those American employees more vulnerable to mass layoffs, especially if I find it's more profitable to just close my American operations.

I think the problem there is how much of our non-agricultural exports are finished goods? A lot of stuff gets sent to other countries and comes back as finished goods. If I was a motivated person I might try and find those numbers.

I didn't have any real-life examples in mind, probably because there aren't too many. It was more just hypothetical musing about that possible scenario.

Sorry Boeing, we know you have enough on your plate as it is.

 

https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-04-15/china-tells-airlines-stop-taking-boeing-jets-as-trump-tariffs-expand-trade-war?embedded-checkout=true

 

Quote

China has ordered its airlines not to take any further deliveries of Boeing Co. jets as part of the tit-for-tat trade war that’s seen US President Donald Trump levy tariffs of as high as 145% on Chinese goods, according to people familiar with the matter.

Beijing has also asked that Chinese carriers halt any purchases of aircraft-related equipment and parts from US companies, the people said, asking not to be identified discussing matters that are private.

 

Quote

The order came after China unveiled retaliatory tariffs of 125% on American goods this past weekend, the people said. Those levies on their own would have more than doubled the cost of US-made aircraft and parts, making it impractical for Chinese airlines to accept Boeing planes.

 

 

Quote

The Chinese government is also considering ways to provide assistance to airlines that lease Boeing jets and are facing higher costs, the people said.

 

 

Spoiler

Shares of the US planemaker slid as much as 4.6% in premarket trading after Bloomberg News reported on the Chinese move. Through Monday, Boeing shares had declined 10% this year. 

The fast-moving dispute between the world’s two biggest economies has caught Boeing in the middle, although the situation is fluid and could change at any moment. Trump has backtracked on some US levies, including fees imposed on Apple Inc. iPhones imported from China. 

About 10 Boeing 737 Max aircraft are preparing to enter Chinese airline fleets, including two each for China Southern Airlines Co., Air China Ltd. and Xiamen Airlines Co., based on data from Aviation Flights Group. Some of the jets are parked near Boeing’s factory base in Seattle while others are at a finishing center in Zhoushan in eastern China, according to the production-tracking firm’s website.

Delivery paperwork and payment on some of these jets may have been completed before the reciprocal tariffs announced by China on April 11 took effect on April 12, and those planes may be allowed to enter China on a case-by-case basis, some of the people said. 

The Civil Aviation Administration of China didn’t respond to a faxed request for comment. Boeing declined to comment. Representatives for China Southern, Air China and Xiamen Airlines also didn’t respond to requests for comment.

Last week, Bloomberg reported that Juneyao Airlines Co. was delaying delivery of a Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner aircraft that it was due to receive in about three weeks.

For Boeing, the standoff is a fresh setback in one of the world’s biggest markets for aircraft sales. 

China is forecast to make up 20% of global aircraft demand over the next two decades and in 2018, nearly a quarter of Boeing’s output ended up there. But the US planemaker hasn’t announced a major order in China in recent years due to trade tensions and self-inflicted issues.

China was first to ground the 737 Max in 2019 following two deadly crashes. Trade disputes with the Biden and first Trump administrations also helped tilt Chinese orders toward Europe’s Airbus SE. Then in 2024, Boeing suffered a quality crisis when a door plug blew out mid-flight in January.

The standoff also underscores that China is still reliant on overseas suppliers for passenger aircraft to serve its population’s demand for air travel.

While Airbus is the more important supplier and Chinese carriers are counting on the domestically produced Comac C919 to supplement their narrowbody needs, airlines still have hundreds of Boeing planes in their fleets that will require maintenance, repair and replacement. 

China announced on Friday that it will apply the 125% tariff on all US goods from April 12, in the latest escalation that started when Trump imposed a US surcharge aimed at lowering America’s trade deficit. Including a 20% levy assessed earlier this year over China’s role in fentanyl trafficking, the rate of US tariffs on China is now 145%.

Boeing still has numerous finished planes in inventory that were originally meant for Chinese airlines. The US planemaker has warned that an escalating trade spat could also hurt supply chains that had been severely strained by the pandemic and were only recently showing signs of getting back to normal.

Story from last week; didn't see if it was posted.  The farmer in it; his political stance is not mentioned.  But I'd find it hard to believe he voted for Harris.

 

https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2025/04/recession-tariffs-canada-trump/682297/

 

Quote

Last month, Nicholas Gilbert received a delivery of grain for the 1,400 cows he tends at his dairy farm in Potsdam, New York, 20 miles from the Ontario border. The feed came with a surprise tariff of $2,200 tacked on. “We have small margins,” he told me. “I had a contracted price on that grain delivered to my barn. It was supposed to be so much per ton. And they added that tariff right on top because it comes from a Canadian feed mill.”

 

 

Quote

Gilbert cannot increase the price of the milk he sells, which is set by the local co-op. He cannot feed his cows less food. He cannot buy feed from another supplier; there aren’t any nearby, and getting it from farther away would be more expensive. When he got the delivery, he stared at the tariff for a while. Shouldn’t his Canadian supplier have been responsible for paying it? “I’m not even sure it’s legal! We contracted for the price on delivery! If your price of fuel goes up or your truck breaks down, that’s not my problem! That’s what the contract’s for.”

 

Quote

But the tariff was legal, and it was Gilbert’s responsibility. The dairy farmer is one of tens of thousands of American business owners caught in a spiraling trade war, and lives in one area of the United States that might already be tipping into a recession because of it. Businesses near the Canadian border are particularly vulnerable to the rising costs and falling revenue caused by tariffs, and are delaying projects, holding off on hiring, raising prices, letting workers go, or wondering how they are going to keep feeding their cows as a result.

 

Spoiler

President Donald Trump kicked off his long-promised trade war by applying levies to steel, aluminum, and goods from China, Canada, and Mexico soon after he took office—insisting, incorrectly, that foreign companies would pay the tariffs and that American growth would surge. On Wednesday, he unleashed a global shock-and-awe campaign, announcing tariffs on every American trading partner.

The measures are meant to counter foreign countries’ tariffs and trade barriers, Trump said. But the numbers announced have nothing to do with such policies, where they even exist. The White House set a minimum 10 percent levy on imports from around the world, and imposed higher rates on imports from more than 60 countries, territories, and trading blocs. The administration appears to have derived those higher rates by dividing the value of the country’s bilateral trade deficit with the United States by the value of its exports to the United States.

The tariffs are capricious, haphazard, and weird. The Trump administration took into account only trade in goods, not services. It slapped tariffs on countries with long-standing free-trade agreements with Washington, including Australia, South Korea, Israel, Panama, Singapore, Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua, and the Dominican Republic. It put tariffs on countries with a trade surplus with the United States. It implemented tariffs on remote, uninhabited islands. It implemented tariffs on a territory occupied predominantly by American and British soldiers.

The nonsensical policy will nevertheless have real effects. American consumer goods will get more expensive, with the average family paying an estimated $3,800 more a year for groceries, cars, clothing, furniture, and everything else if the tariff rates remain this high. Thousands of American firms, mostly small businesses, will go under. The United States risks collapsing into an astonishing voluntary recession, caused solely by a few powerful ideologues’ erroneous beliefs about trade.

If you want to understand where the American economy is heading, head to the border.

From Bellingham, Washington, to Calais, Maine, the United States has dozens of communities that are not so much linked to Canada’s economy as interwoven with it. Gas stations in these places rely on business from Canadian commuters. Ski resorts and water parks rely on Canadian tourists. Manufacturing firms rely on Canadian industrial inputs. Farms rely on Canadian feed. Hotels rely on Canadian business conferences.

Contrary to Trump’s pronouncements, tariffs are paid by domestic importers, not foreign exporters. Most companies pass the cost increase on to consumers. Others, like Adon Farms, cannot. “We’re taking that right on the chin,” Gilbert told me, explaining that he would have to pay tariffs on the fertilizer and farm equipment he buys too. “We’re not like other businesses,” he told me. “We’re very slow moving. I can’t pivot at all.”

Manufacturing firms and construction companies near the border face the same quandaries as the costs of steel, aluminum, lumber, and machine parts rise. These firms can’t quickly relocate their operations or find new suppliers either. “We surveyed 40 of our manufacturing companies in the region,” Garry Douglas, of New York’s North Country Chamber of Commerce, told me. “One sources raw materials from Canada and is looking at a $16 million cost increase to their U.S. operation. Another company is a paper mill that sources wood pulp from Canada. It’s the one source of the type of wood they need.”

At the same time as it is raising costs for border businesses, Trump’s quixotic trade war with Canada is depressing revenue for these businesses too. Dan Kelleher runs a tourism-promotion agency in the Adirondacks. “We had a terrific January in terms of overall visitation,” he told me. “Our numbers were up 24 percent over the five-year average. And then February came.” The president kept referring to Canada as the “51st state,” and hit the United States’ closest ally with a 25 percent tariff. Spending on lodging dropped 4 percent in February, Kelleher told me, with retailers reporting a 20 percent decline in sales.

“We have a lot of cross-border events, particularly hockey tournaments,” Kelleher said. “The teams are locked in to come play, but when they come, they’re not spending any money here.” He worried about the summer tourist season, and more so about the relationship between residents of the Adirondacks and their neighbors across the border. “Our Canadian friends—they’re upset, they’re hurt, they’re betrayed.”

Ron Kurnik is a dual citizen who lives in Canada and commutes across the border to run Superior Coffee Roasting, a café and coffee distributor in Sault Ste. Marie, Michigan. “One of our premier labels is an espresso blend, which I aptly termed the friendly neighbors,” he told me. “We spell it both ways on the label, neighbors and neighbours. It’s been the centerpiece of our business, and our relationship with the residents of this area.”

Kurnik imports his coffee beans from Mexico and his coffee bags from China; both are more expensive, thanks to Trump’s levies. “With the added tax, we’re currently underwater on distribution,” he told me. With fewer Canadians crossing the Saint Marys River, sales at his café have dropped too. Superior Coffee Roasting has a “bit of a war chest,” in the form of profits from last year, Kurnik said. “That will probably, probably, get us through this year.” But he’s cut back on employee hours and laid one person off. “I’m trying to hold the line and not make too many big, consequential decisions,” he said. “If these things continue for six, eight months or beyond, it’s going to get bad.”

Residents of border towns see their shopping malls and greasy spoons half empty. They read stories in the local paper about rising construction costs and Canadians detained at border crossings. They notice the lack of hiring signs. They hear about the trade war on the evening news. As a result, many are reducing their own spending in expectation of a downturn: putting off home repairs, delaying the purchase of a new car, canceling vacations, eating in instead of ordering out.

“It is definitely having a rippling effect, and it’s been immediate,” says Michael Cashman, the supervisor of the town of Plattsburgh, New York, 20 minutes south of the border. “These may seem like small trade restrictions in Washington. But they’re devastating for our region.” He told me he was “deeply concerned” about sales-tax revenue dropping. Plattsburgh is preparing to pull back on public spending “until there is more clarity in the forecast.” Of course, the town cutting its budget would worsen the downturn.

What is happening in Plattsburgh and Sault Ste. Marie is happening in rural Nebraska, Kentucky’s bourbon country, and Las Vegas too—in every community that relies on foreign tourists, foreign imports, foreign exports, and cross-border traffic. Now, Trump’s new policies have put the whole country at risk. I surveyed my inbox the morning after the president’s Liberation Day announcement, reading market analysts’ notes: a “self-inflicted economic catastrophe,” a “large headwind,” a “transformed outlook,” “unconditionally bad,” an “extended period of volatility,” a “historic shift,” “madness.”

In Michigan’s Upper Peninsula, Kurnik was penciling out numbers on Wednesday—when retailers might raise prices for a bag of beans, how much to slow down production—while Trump was preparing for his speech in the Rose Garden. “We can’t operate a business flying by the seat of our pants,” he told me. “The administration can organize itself in that fashion. But how do you realistically expect me to follow suit?”

Also, 100% he voted for ThE DOtaRd, if he believes the supplier pays the tariff. Idoit.

I believe this is a bit too harsh. This is America.  Sometimes it takes a village. Sometimes it takes the entire family to help us through tough times.  I do not think you should limit his daughter’s opportunities to participate in Only Fans as a means of saving the farm.
