Yep definitely looks like a pump and dump. Setting the World on fire to make themselves rich, how can you work with that?
China owns trillions (yes, trillions) in US debt. Which presumably has to be restructured fairly regularly. Picking a fight with your creditors is seldom a good idea, unless of course you were planning to default. I imagine the USA doing that might cause a few ripples in the world's economy.
I find PM on Radio 4 to be fascinating. It is probably fair to say the producers are Trump sceptics but rhere was an interview with one of Biden's financial advisors today that revealed rhat he had proposed the tariff regime picked up by Trump but the new uncumbants had misunderstood the formula to calculate the percentages. The errors are quite obvious to the Democrats who made the recommendations in rhr first place . The interviewee also commented that implementing the tariffs so quickly and wuthout checking the logic was a massive error. They should never have been introduced in one week.
I did not realise that Trump has put a moritorium of 90 days on the implimentation of the tariffs whilst ramping up the tariff for China yet again. I wonder at what point the Republican Party and Americans at large wake up to the fact that Trump and his cohorts are gleefully imcompetent.
Not only that, but it feeds his already huge ego. He is showing the world who has the power. It is all narcissism for him. I’d love to see an investigation into who made money from his flip flops but we certainly won’t see that.
I want to know what they want another inquiry for? I think it is nothing to do with making people safer and people want to do some scapegoating….
Oh what a surprise Trumpenomics tells tariff lies. Maybe a moot point now but questionable claims and projections checked by BBC verify. https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c7vnnd89e0jo
Did a good strength workout today, so my testosterone is high and I feel safe to venture out into #FallenBritain. Not quite up to London yet.
Did you find yourself becoming more right wing as your testosterone levels rose? If so, how far right? Carrying a picture of Maggie Thatcher? Or one of Nigel Farage?
Just dusted out the Maggie picture that my late mother had on the sideboard. (I am joking about dusting it off, but not about it once being on our sideboard!)
I ventured out to see a talk/interview with Mick Herron last night (the author of the Slow Horses series). Had to shoehorn myself into a suit for the first time in an age. Took the tube and walked back, rather than a tank, but made it safe and sound, just in case anyone was concerned.
See, stuff like that I agree with you on. That is ****ing incompetent and someone needs to be held to account for that **** up.
It’s a deliberate attempt to mislead. All train operating companies (TOCs) currently lease trains from stock leasing companies (ROSCOs). As the franchises of each private operator expires, that part of the service comes into public ownership. Full public ownership of the railways is a phased process which is not expected to be completed before 2029
Out of interest, what are the ULEZ charges like for tanks in Central Fallen London? They’re completely prohibitive in Bristol these days!
