I’ve seen a new talking point popping up that he’s crashing the market on purpose to refi US debt and force the fed to drop interest rates…

It’s probably dumber than you think why they weren’t on there. The formula they used to come up with the countries tarrifs rate is based simply on trade deficit calculations. So if you aren’t exporting/importing from those countries they wouldn’t be included. It doesn’t even matter if there was a trade surplus.

For example, take the figures for China:

• Goods trade deficit: $291.9bn
• Total goods imports: $438.9bn
• 291.9/438.9 = 0.67, or 67%
• And halved = 34%

Oh look… An actual weaponized DOJ. Projection of drumps goals strikes again.

All the large platforms can do that. Elon cried about too many bots before he bought Twitter and now it’s worse.

None of these big companies care as long as their profit goes up.

Man a 2.5% revenue share definitely could add up especially for mobile you’d be giving close to 20% in revenue to either an app store or game engine.

I like the brand LMNT. They are a little more expensive compared to others but the flavor variation is a good switch up if you don’t want to make your own (I like watermelon salt personally).

They also have an article on how to make your own at home

I mean the 2023 ESV sport platinum is MSRP 108k and you get 14/16mpg. So I mean if you were already looking at one and you now get 450miles per charge it may be worth it.

Definitely be interesting to see how they do.

Military industrial complex is firing on all cylinders. I’m all for the aid to these countries just wish our government did more for the everyday person on top of this.

Flying right now seems like an absolute shit show. Sure you may get to your destination but not always on time.
