Yea. Going to have to ignore the new troll. Bluesky is almost worse than MSNBC and CNN propaganda. What's hilarious is he thinks he's bringing us info we don't know... 90% of the media runs with the same nonsense. It's why people have stopped watching it and msm are firing all their "talent". It's going to be funny watching leftist melt down once Europe, Canada and liberal cities figure out reality.
You may have to read this twice to grasp it. Just crazy, stupid shit. Remember it when they demand you pay more in taxes.
Imagine people that have accomplished nothing, singling out one of the great innovators of all time, for failure.
Imagine what they’d have said about Edison.
In practice, most U.S. milk exports to Canada stay within the TRQ limits and avoid these tariffs.
So a non issue, but definitely one serious enough we should destabilize our financial markets and punish US brands popularity by pissing off an entire countries buying trends.
That’s gonna work great for Kentuckys flag ship bourbon industry as they clear off liquor shelves of our product.
Thats what I love... Tariffs bad "they just pass on the tax to you"... Corporate tax good "make them pay their fair share"... LOL It's like children thinking.
Democrats: demonstrably less intelligent than, you know, CHICKENS 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣
re: corporate taxes The second you see someone advocating for them you can rest assured, that person is an imbecile.
Elon the “engineer” innovating by aquiring all these companies
Author of Upcoming Elon Musk Biography Says ‘There Is No Evidence’ Billionaire Has Any ‘Intellectual Achievements’
“It does not take intelligence to throw money around and buy a company or buy a politician,” Seth Abramson writes
someone on this board said the same thing when the dude took her medal in the race. A freaking UK fan was bashing a UK swimmer because she looked "more manly than the girl people are calling a dude".... I keep thinking I'm in crazy town. I'm just glad YT is censoring less and X is pretty free. So much of this nonsense is getting exposed now that even Bill Maher has had it with leftist. LOL.

LONDON, March 5 (Reuters) - A historic global trade war, a proposed $1.2 trillion European fiscal bazooka and the emergence of China as tech race leader are upending global flows of money, marking a potential turning point for investor capital away from the United States.
China unlocked more stimulus on Wednesday and promised greater efforts to cushion the impact of an escalating U.S. trade war. Hours earlier, Germany's likely next government agreed on the biggest overhaul to fiscal policy since the country's reunification.
In response, German bonds cratered in the most dramatic selloff in decades, as 30-year yields shot up by a quarter of a percentage point on Wednesday, with the selloff entering a second day on Thursday.
Meanwhile, U.S. economic data points to a weakening, and the trade war unleashed by U.S. tariffs that kicked in this week is hurting sentiment inside and outside the world's biggest economy. For most of the last three years, investors had bet on "U.S. exceptionalism," with the country ahead of others in economic growth, stock prices, artificial intelligence and other areas.
"The world now sees the U.S. model is changing, and saying - we need to adapt to that, the U.S. is no longer as reliable as a trade partner, we have to take care of our own needs on defence," said Tim Graf, head of macro strategy for EMEA at State Street Global Markets.
The change in sentiment has fuelled a rare divergence in global stock markets.
While the S&P 500 stock index is down 1.8% this year (.SPX), European shares are up almost 9% (.STOXX) at a record high, and tech stocks in Hong Kong have surged almost 30% (.HSTECH).
The euro shot to a four-month high above $1.07 and a number of banks have raced to ditch their recent calls for a drop to parity against the dollar.
Investors have chopped their bullish bets on the dollar in half to around $16 billion since U.S. President Donald Trump's inauguration in January, based on weekly data from the Commodity Futures Trading Commission .
"Go back to December, this overwhelming consensus about U.S. exceptionalism, and U.S. was the only place to invest," said Dario Perkins, managing director of global macro at TS Lombard, an economic
"What's really happened here is this threat of tariffs and the aggressiveness of Trump is forcing other countries to spend more."
In his first 44 days in office, Trump has ripped up the playbook on foreign relations in place since 1945, launched a global trade war by slapping tariffs on his country's largest trading partners and forced European leaders to drastically rethink how they fund their own security.
Tariffs and trade uncertainty are causing the U.S. economy to lose steam, and companies more vulnerable to slower growth are starting to show the cracks.
An index of U.S. banks (.SPXBK) has lost 8% in the last month, while its European equivalent (.SX7P) has jumped 15%.
Investors have poured money into Europe to diversify away from the U.S. market.
European stocks are outperforming U.S. and Chinese peers.
"We had been long the dollar against the euro and closed that position over a week ago. It had lost impetus," said Mark Dowding, chief investment officer at RBC's BlueBay fixed income team. "The behaviour of Trump has diminished the appeal for U.S. assets in general."
After investors dumped Chinese assets last year, as the economy slowed and affluent consumers were closing their wallets, the government took several steps to encourage domestic spending. But many still viewed China as uninvestable in the absence of a jumbo stimulus plan as strains lingered from a real-estate bubble that burst, hitting companies and homeowners.
Almost uninterrupted outflows from China-focused funds after Trump's election win in November reversed in early February, drawing in some $3 billion since then, according to Lipper data.
One of the great U.S. stock market draws has been its megacap tech shares. Nvidia (NVDA.O), in particular, has become the poster-child of the AI investment revolution and one of the world's most valuable companies.
There was little evidence to suggest any serious challenge to the dominance of Wall Street in the AI arms race until late January, when a previously unknown low-cost Chinese AI model burst onto the scene.
The emergence of DeepSeek not only shattered assumptions about the cost and efficiency of the race to build out AI, but of how close behind Western companies China really was.
Hong Kong-listed tech stocks (.HSTECH)have roared 24% higher since January 27, while a basket of U.S. tech megacaps has dropped 12%.
Yang Tingwu, vice general manager of asset manager Tongheng Investment, said China's stock market is already immune to higher U.S. tariffs as the country's growing strength is underpinning domestic assets.
"If you look at TikTok, Xiaohongshu or DeepSeek, China's technological clout is expanding," Yang said.
American users have been rapidly moving to Xiaohongshu, a Chinese social media platform known as RedNote in English, in response to the impending sale of rival TikTok's U.S. operations.
Still, for some, a resilient U.S. economy and relatively higher interest rates will see the dollar retain its appeal over time.
"I do think there is a shift in play, we view it as a tactical versus a big secular shift," said Nate Thooft, CIO for Multi-Asset Solutions and Global Equities at Manulife Investment Management. He has recently upgraded a maximum underweight on European equities to neutral.
Investors spy the dawn of a tectonic shift away from US markets

Remember "mad cow disease"... They tried to pass it off as some weird new disease that threatened all of us. turned out that they were feeding animal remains to their cattle and much like how cannibals develop weird diseases.... the cows started getting a weird disease.
Now I'm not as super smart as Farmy. I've only ever fed my cattle grass, corn, oats, wheat, soy beans and occasionally sorghum.... healthy cattle for most of my life.
It's wild how if you just do what nature kind of sets out for you that things will work out. Dems think they can "fix" nature. LOL
Well, at least he didn't shower nude, with his teenaged daughter. So there's THAT.
Theyre getting worse by the day
And dumbazz MAGA is cheering on the loss of the US as the most reliable and powerful economic partner in the world post WW2.Not good Bob

It's like the passengers of the Titanic cheering on the iceberg. DAF.
His daughter said no molestation ever happened. And she wasn't a teen. It's just more right wing nut lies.
What in God's name is THAT? It looks like the half dead love child of Nosferatu and Alice Cooper.
the Democrats, and their constituents have become an R. Crumb LSD-fueled comic strip.
I mean this in all seriousness. Every person I know, in my personal life, that is a Democrat/and or TDS'er suffers from some form of acute mental illness.
I want to make clear; I'm not blowing smoke. I am completely serious. Trump has caused anyone that was on shaky ground to begin with, to flat out bust a mainspring. Trump has fractured their psyche. I'm 62 and it is the most amazing thing I've ever witnessed.

Hey guys... remember how dems say noone is protecting felons from being deported? Turns out this dude had an ICE detainer and they let him go without notifying ICE... One officer got hurt so I assume all our cultist will be rightfully pissed that a law enforcement officer was put in danger from the dangerous actions of democrat sanctuary city... Thank you in advance.
Charges need to be filed on the appropriate/culpable people.
Comical
This is the author of One Nation Under Blackmail.
Farmy was pissed that SpaceX dropped some nasty stuff and got fined.... Turned out they dropped distilled water out of the rocket.... That's right... Drinking water. The SpaceX rockets exploding are expected. They are trying to develop a rocket that can land, be refueled and takeoff again in the same day. They don't want what happened to the space shuttle. They are stress testing different tiles for the exterior. Farmy doesn't understand this and wants us to use NASA to launch satellites for over $2B per satellite. Elon can only manage to launch a satellite for around $100M.... Farmy doesn't like to save $1.9B... Farmy is a crazy leftist who couldn't help himself. LOL
I like Whitney Webb but she's almost too Red Pilled. She sees a conspiracy everywhere even when they contradict each other.
Farmy and sam are deeply disappointed that environmental damage wasn't done and that nobody was killed or severely injured.
It has put a real damper on their evening.
It has put a real damper on their evening.
Farmy joining illustrious company like AOC and Ilhan Omar in questioning the intelligence of Elon Musk.
A failed bartender, an incestuous Somali, and a message board Mensa member.
When are you three building your own ship to Mars, Farmy? 🤣
The old green-eyed monster strikes again.

Nebraska says hi to all the insane Dems that voted against Trump.
FAFO
Nebraska companies, strapped for workers, face ‘mild concern to abject terror’ as immigration crackdown begins
An unlikely coalition of pro-business groups and activists see a solution to Nebraska’s workforce shortage: More immigration. Now they’re watching the crackdown, wondering how it will impact foreign-born workers and their employers.
One of these sides goes ahead and rapes and murders women and children.
They have honor killings of girls and women.
They have rape gangs in countries they infiltrate.
This seems a proper way to pick sides.
I won't be picking the demon savage, death to America side.
Oh, and they would be happy killing all of us infidels.
Is this set up to make it seem you are smarter than Trump?
That is doubtful.
You don't know what he is willing to risk either.

Nope.
Your question was what is the difference.
I provided some of the differences.
Quite often a response from you gets way off of the original premise.

They are filthy.
They smell.
They are disgusting.
Heed this warning or you will regret it.
That is all.
