@Charles_Benoit @ChadBown @sfstone_trade No, Congress is definitely mad and feeling left out on trade. Thats why I wont be surprised if they try something similar with other deals. I just doubt non-Taiwan deals will sail through as easily especially if a bill strips 30D benefits if the deal was intended to convey them

@BrettFortnam @ChadBown @sfstone_trade Agree with everything you're saying Brett including prob. moot point. But did you expect the Taiwan implementing leg? I thought that was going to be executive only as well and was surprised when we heard about leg.

This could be quite meaningful to mineral exporters like Australia.

Becoming a US "fta partner" for Critical Minerals means access to IRA Section 30D tax credits for electric vehicles. This is a new form of "market access" and is thus potentially quite valuable to IPEF countries. by @BrettFortnam

@Charles_Benoit @ChadBown @sfstone_trade But it's also imp to note that USTR doesnt seem inclined to negotiate CM deals as part of IPEF. So it's all probably moot anyway.

Brett Fortnam@BrettFortnam·22 Tem

@Charles_Benoit @ChadBown @sfstone_trade Basically Congress would have to decide to act to exclude a country from accessing 30D incentives. All it takes is one senator to make it v difficult to get that leg through quickly.

@hereforsports1 @3ILpod @MattPhifer @kokeefe01 He doesn't bring in hot coffee! He spends most of the day on the office couch sleeping. It's a good thing he's only getting course credit given his pawltry work ethic.

@hereforsports1 @dog_rates Why are you sorry? And that sure as hell looks to me more like an overgrown bunny.

@vtg2 Do you think that is correlation or causation? A 2022 headline saying that Jesus returning is killing the economy would be ... something.

English

Victoria Guida@vtg2·25 Mar

Sentiment check: Man on the metro preaching that Jesus is returning soon just said our economy is “failing.”

@BrettFortnam @hereforsports1 @whatwouldDOOdo @EireannDolan Ahhhhh!!! Fingers crossed 📚 ❤️

As an extra incentive, @hereforsports1 and I will gladly treat @whatwouldDOOdo and @EireannDolan to dinner and a gift from @oldtownbooks if they come back home.

Jesse Dougherty@dougherty_jesse

Can't tell if this is the right time or not to report that the Nationals have been in discussions with left-handed reliever Sean Doolittle this weekend. But, according to multiple people with knowledge of the situation, they have been.

@vtg2 @SylvanLane @EvanSparks Can we talk about COREPER for a minute? No, that would take several hours and result in no clearer an understanding of the Council of the EU's committee structure? Fine. What about COREPER II...

English

Victoria Guida@vtg2·11 Mar

@SylvanLane @EvanSparks My favorite thing about the EU is the word "comitology," which is their hand-wavey word for the complicated-ass process by which any policy gets enacted.

@JeffPassan How can a new CBA help out the 'middle class' players that have been getting squeezed because of owners' preference for lower cost pre-arb players? (Am I correct in believing that preference is what has led to the decline in median player salary?)

As for how much China missed by, I'll leave that to Chad, who is willing to scour through this data for our benefit. (fin)

China did not meet it's phase-one purchase targets. This is not surprising and was widely predicted when those targets were first published. But U.S. goods exports to China did reach an all-time high in 2021 (covered and uncovered goods). (10/n)
