Interesting that the Canadians are now taxing an export - new tariff on exported electricity to Midwest states

Are you really this gullible?
This easily duped?

Once again, you (and the 2 people that "liked" your post) demonstrate that you have no idea what you are talking about.


Those Canadian tariffs on U.S. dairy imports apply ONLY after the country hits a specific level of tariff-free sales.
This is from a deal that Trump NEGOTIATED in 2018 during his first term in office called USMCA which replaced NAFTA.

And according to the International Dairy Foods Association, the U.S. has never gotten close to exceeding the dairy quotas in the USMCA.

I hope this helps your terribly poor knowledge base.
Perhaps you should try doing more than just posting a stupid erroneous meme.

Recession doesn't mean anything anymore. Biden just changed the meaning so his presidency avoided a recession!!

The stock market has totally cratered and is now LOWER than when Trump was elected and took office.

S&P down another 1.4% today.

The Top 10% of Americans account for roughly HALF of all consumer spending.
They also own a TON of stocks.

How do you think the "wealth" effect of owning U.S. stocks has been working out for them?

Think they're gonna be materially cutting back their spending?

How many fools are still supporting the stable genius?

MAGA !!!

The scary part is the stock market and economy are cratering even before we feel the effects of Trump's tariffs. Where will we be 6 months or a year from now?

This is the smallest crater I have ever seen! It is down less than 10%.

A year ago, Trump's nominee for Treasury Secretary, Scott Bessent said "Tariffs are inflationary ... and "the tariff gun will always be loaded and on the table but rarely discharged."

That turned out to be a LIE.

Thus far, Trump has imposed tariffa on $1.0 Trillion in imports, soon to be $1.4 Trillion.

Thats nearly 4X what he imposed during his first term.

In the final 3-4 minutes she relates a story about why she equates the current beggar thy neighbor revenge politics to the 1930's and says we are right back there.

Ominous and frightful.
Good economic/political discussion.

Yes, 29% is awful, but a 36% approval rating should be a BIG concern for the GOP too. About 2/3 of the people hate BOTH parties. That's a very loud alarm going off.

I guess you don't own any sizeable position in TSLA.
You did say that you own shares of TSLA right?

It's down 38% YTD.

Are you for real?

Now you're conflating AMERICAN CARS with EV's from Tesla?
You sound awfully confused.
lol

Seriously, once again, you have no idea what you're talking about.
Here, let me help you understand a total stranger that drives a $300,000 car from Germany.

I have no interest in driving an EV or a hybrid or turbo for that matter.
I grew up racing 2-stroke motocross bikes in the 70's.
Japanese and German (Maico)

I enjoy driving NORMALLY ASPIRATED cars.
Not computers.

I'm not alone in that department.

Is that a 1979-80 500cc model? Just before they followed the Japanese monoshock trend. it looked a lot like my 1978 Fantic Motor enduro.

Did you watch the video on the 1,550 HP $75k Xiaomi below? The high performance EV driving experience is pretty exciting, as the torque kicks in instantly. We're headed towards EVs with 1,000+ HP for under $40k later this decade, so you're going to see a lot of those in years to come.

Pictured above is a 1981 Maico 490.
The last year of the dual shocker.
Ohlin shocks.

The bike on the left is OEM.
Even has the original handlebars with the OEM Maico sticker on it.

The bike on the right was built from the ground up during Covid.
Even has a Talon hub on the rear from England. Found one for the front but haven't installed it yet.

GJ with the rebuild.

I'm tempted to get back into it but with a low-maintenance street legal trail 500, either a vintage Honda or Yamaha XLR/XT or a new Suzuki DRZ.
DiabloWags
How long do you want to ignore this user?
Yeah, I'm tempted too.

My brother has KTM on the brain.
He owns 4 of them. Two XCF-500's, the 1190 Adventure, a new 890 Adventure R, and a 300 two-stroke.

KTM has a lot of issues.
They owe creditors $630 million by May 25th and dealers are saddled with inventory.

Should be some really good deals coming soon!

Quality bikes, these KTMs. Too bad about their issues, KTM being the one European off-road brand that has held up really well so far. Apparently they've acquired Husqvarna and partnered with a big Chinese manufacturer, same approach as Volvo and Geely.

Quote:

Which KTMs are built in China?

CHINA. The partnership between KTM and CFMOTO oversees the global production of the two LC8c models: the KTM 790 DUKE and the KTM 790 ADVENTURE. This strategic collaboration is instrumental in KTM's global production and distribution strategy.

Yeah, I'm not sure where they are gonna find Half a Billion Euros by end of May.
Maybe Bajaj Auto of India?
