It’s exactly as easy or cheap to build a smartphone or PC business as it was a month ago. The headline is misleading.

There is no favoring of Apple, Nvidia or Dell. The headline is misleading. “and others” is doing a lot of heavy lifting.

I imagine this is going to happen again (except 100x) when there’s a China “deal.”

"The budget projections are based on CBO’s economic forecast, which reflects developments in the economy as of December 4, 2024. They also incorporate legislation enacted through January 6, 2025." Out of date!

The current administration has no interest in reducing the fiscal deficit. Their expressed policies will make it larger.

I think there's going to be a major reallocation of corporate contributions over to the other party so they can fix this in less than two years via impeachment.

We’re a long way from that: 1. He’ll have to change some rules to run again. There will be a lot of resistance. 2. Midterm elections (November of 2026) could take away majorities in the house and the senate, and hopefully bring impeachment

s/small/cheap/gi Americans like cheap, especially when there's a lot of economic pressure.

Just to be clear, digg started uncapitalized. I still miss the small d. It was more humble.

I can’t tell if you’ve forgotten your sarcasm flag but none of the 9/11 terrorists entered the US through Canada.

I would hazard a guess that plenty of US companies (start with Amazon warehouses, move on to truck drivers) do very similar things, if not exactly the same.

I did have a question about that. Where does the other 60% go? Isn’t the whole point to reduce the debt?

I understand there are lots of factors involved in the comparison, I just found it weird that the article used that sentence, and then never mentioned anything about environmental comparisons after that.

by ojbyrne 2y ago
After this sentence: "Are they truly the environmentally friendly option they claim to be?" I expected to see at least some comparison of the effect on the environment.

That's the same percentage profit. And there would likely be some reduction in sales due to the increased price, so the absolute profit wouldn't increase as much as you suggest. Obviously lots of other factors involved.

Technically this was superseded and USAID was legally established by statute in the Foreign Affairs Reform and Restructuring Act of 1998 [1]. Perhaps you forgot to take notes when that happened. 1. https://crsreports.congress.gov

I think the number is only 2 or 3 because once some people are confirmed for the cabinet, they have to leave the House of Representatives.

I'm pretty sure his thinking is - say to every company that wants a break on the tariff - here, buy some $DJT, we'll take a look.

I just skimmed the article, I saw they mention retaliation, but what about further escalation? I.e. repetitive tit-for-tat?
