Trump sends out new threats on Chinese tariffs.
More than 1000 Chinese stocks drop more than 10%. Shanghai Index at 2 year low.

That’s OK. I didn’t want my retirement account getting too big too fast.
I also was hoping for a federal employee pay freeze in 2019 and Trump delivered there as well!

We've wasted money that can be put towards improving our quality of life at home (education, infrastructure, parks, medicine, environment, research, etc.), we've lost lives that could have positively contributed to our society and economy for years to come, and we've destabilized entire regions. It does terribly impact me, and you, and the nation, and future Americans.

Re: Trump Tariffs = Tax Hike on all
Gotta agree with this. Trip comes off as a petulant, spoiled, entitled millennial with the idea that he's been "terribly impacted" by wars and military action that American has taken part in over the past 2-3 decades. Unless you're actually serving in today's military, or are friends or family of those who are/have, then the reality is that in America today we are amazingly detached and cocooned away from being impacted, let alone "terribly impacted" by our country's military endeavors. I'm not saying that what we've done militarily has always been correct (obviously we've made mistakes), but we as regular citizens in America have by and large not been impacted very much at all by these activities. Tell a Syrian friend on how we've been "terribly impacted" by American military action in Afghanistan, for instance, and see his/her reaction.AZGrizFan wrote:You've been terribly impacted...Have you experienced rationing?

This. Unless Trip has served or lost a family member, I don’t understand how he’s been terribly impacted. I’ve lost 3 friends to the GWOT and I don’t consider myself “terribly impacted” at all. Trip- I feel that you’re exaggerating. All of our lives have been directly and indirectly impacted by the policies of our government since the beginning.

I’ve had the privilege to work alongside Marines, Sailors and Airmen in direct support of OEF, OIF and OND. Those 9.5 yrs were incredible. The GWOT has made a significant impact on me - and I would say it was for the better. I’ve learned many life lessons from my time. I haven’t had to actually fight - but providing the material and capabilities to keep Marines fighting, Sailors in communication and a few other things that I won’t go into, has left its mark on me.

Re: Trump Tariffs = Tax Hike on all
Well, it's not that simple, but in simple math, if China goes toe to toe by simply matching our tariffs dollar for dollar, they are outnumbered by a 4:1 margin. At some point that have to up the ante. At that point, shit will get interesting.Chizzang wrote:The funny thing about this is...CAA Flagship wrote:Another round of tariffs hitting China today.

The soy bean thing is interesting. Argentina is a strong alternative to US soy beans for China. The problem is that Argentina is coming off a bad crop year, so they are buying from the US in order to meet the China order.
So US soy bean exports have not been affected.
This is a classic chess match where moves are anticipated well in advance of the US moves, and the US is making moves that will effect certain Chinese moves that provide the least impact to the US.
It's funny listening to US CEO's. Some are all for it. Those are the ones that are in desperate industries. Others hate it. Those are the ones that have no issues with trade. Then there are the ones (vast majority) that have adapted to the unfair treatment and can live with it, but would benefit "bigly" if we win. They are the ones squirming in their seat. Uncertainty is not liked.
That said, there is still no clear vision of the outcome.
