@hnluzh173896 @laozhouhengmei 這類華人雖然清朝滅亡了許久，心中的辮子還是剪不斷。

@laozhouhengmei 华人很多都是二极管思维，非此即彼，这不是短时间内能改变的，很多人，即便你说他了，对方也未必能理解，未必能意识到自己就是二极管思维，就比如：我虽然很讨厌你，但我对你的意见和建议持支持态度，再比如，我很喜欢你，但我对你的意见持保留态度，这在华人思维世界中是不可理解的

昨晚我在一个帖子里说，川普的所作所为，不仅让美国人丢脸，我一个多年的亲美派也觉得面上无光。 然后就有人说：要回归共粉了吗？ 在这些人的世界里，是不加入帮派就没法活了吗？ 我觉得牛粪臭，就必须觉得猪粪变香了？ 美国堕落了，不代表中共的问题就不存在了。 我现在批评川普，不仅不代表我以前批评中共和习近平的论点就不成立了，恰恰相反，我批评川普，就是因为他跟中共和习近平太像了，甚至有有过之而无不及。 你看川普在美国的制度下尚且能如此猖狂，他要是在中共的体制下当官，那必然也是无恶不作的大贪官。

@ChiokYi @PaulLia23124959 @laozhouhengmei 土著和二等公民有什麼關係？如果是指土著特權，那全世界有保護弱勢群體特權國家的公民都是二等公民？不解釋，不用客氣。

@YipTuckHoh @PaulLia23124959 @laozhouhengmei 解釋一下 bumiputera 謝謝

刚刚，穆迪108年来首次把美国的信用评级降级：从最高评级AAA下降为 Aa1. 要知道，穆迪自1917年以来，就从来没有把美国信用评级下调过，一直都是满分AAA。 也就只有川普有这能耐了，把保持了108年的美国满分信用给打破了。 让美国再次伟大！😂😂

@PaulLia23124959 @laozhouhengmei 你是哪裡聽說馬來西亞華人是二等公民？在馬來西亞所有拿藍身分證的都是一等公民，通常只有自己承認是二等公民，有被害妄想症的人。

@laozhouhengmei 好消息是， 马来西亚🇲🇾华人很给力 一直保住二等公民， 估计近年不会被降级。

To illustrate just how nonsensically these tariffs were calculated, take the example of Lesotho, one of the poorest countries in Africa with just $2.4 billion in annual GDP, which is being struck with a 50% tariff rate under the Trump plan, the highest rate among all countries on the list. Why? Does Lesotho apply extortionate tariffs on U.S. products and the U.S. is merely being "reciprocal" here? Not at all, despite what Trump is saying, it's NOT the way these tariffs are defined. As a matter of fact Lesotho, as a member of the Southern African Customs Union (SACU), applies the common external tariff structure established by this regional trade bloc. Which means it applies the same tariffs on U.S. products as South Africa does, as well as the 3 other members of the bloc: Namibia, Eswatini and Botswana. So since the tariffs charged by these 5 countries on U.S. products are exactly the same, they must all be struck with a 50% tariff rate by the U.S., right? Not at all: South Africa is getting 30%, Namibia 21%, Botswana 37% and Eswatini just 10%, the lowest rate possible among all countries. So what gives? Again, the way these tariffs are calculated has absolutely zero relationship with actual tariffs imposed by these countries on U.S. products. Instead, they appear to be simply derived from trade deficit calculations. Looking at Lesotho specifically, every year the U.S. imports approximately $236 million in goods from Lesotho (primarily diamonds, textiles and apparel) while exporting only about $7 million worth of goods to Lesotho (wits.worldbank.org/CountryProfile…). Why do they export so little? Again this is an extremely poor country where 56.2% of the population lives with less than $3.65 a day (databankfiles.worldbank.org/public/ddpext_…), i.e. $1,300 a year. They simply can't afford U.S. products, no-one is going to buy an iPhone or a Tesla on that sort of income... The way the tariffs are ACTUALLY calculated appears to be based on a simplistic and economically senseless formula: you take the trade deficit the U.S. has with a country, divide it by that country's exports to the U.S and declare this - falsely - "the tariff they charge on the U.S." And then as Trump did in his speech last night, you magnanimously declare that you'll only "reciprocate" by charging half that "tariff" on them. As such, for Lesotho, the calculation goes like this: ($236M - $7M)/$235M = 97%. That's the "tariff" Lesotho is deemed to charge this U.S. and half of that, i.e. roughly 50% is what the U.S. "reciprocates" with. It's extremely easy to see why this makes no sense at all. First of all, there's nothing Lesotho can do about it: they can't change tariffs they allegedly charge the U.S. to reduce the tariff rate the U.S. "reciprocates" with because, again, it's NOT based on any tariff that they charge. Similarly they can't do much about reducing the trade deficit they have with the U.S. because, again, they simply don't have enough money to buy U.S. products. Also the main rational Trump gave for the tariffs is to get production back to the U.S., to "bring manufacturing back". 47.3% of Lesotho's exports are diamonds: how do you bring the "manufacturing" of that "back to the U.S."? Anyone can see it makes just about zero sense. The Lesotho example exposes the fundamental economic incoherence of these tariffs. Rather than addressing actual trade barriers, they punish countries based on trade deficits that arise from structural economic realities. All the more countries like Lesotho which pose zero competitive threat to American industry. Worse yet, these tariffs will likely make these structural realities even worse: the U.S. is Lesotho's second most important export destination so it's a fair bet that applying 50% tariffs on their products will make people in Lesotho even poorer, and therefore even LESS able to afford U.S. products. But perhaps the most unfair and detrimental aspect of all this is that these tariffs represent a complete reversal of longstanding U.S. development policy, and therefore a betrayal of countries - like Lesotho - who chose to follow U.S. advice in the past. For decades the U.S. has used preferential trade access to encourage economic development in the world's poorest nations, recognizing that trade, not just aid, could get them out of poverty and ultimately put them in a position where they too could afford iPhones or Tesla. They're now effectively penalizing countries for following previous U.S. policy, a lesson which I bet they won't forget anytime soon. So all in all the irony is painful: in the name of fighting unfair trade, America has just demonstrated what truly unfair trade looks like. This isn't something designed to address genuine trade issues, but simply a mechanism based on arbitrary math to punish countries for the affront of selling more to the United States than they buy.

@AfiqMdHanif @Solisidtor Mmg pn tweet yg kurang cerdik. Satu dunia nak alih ke EV tapi semua tau EV tu mahal, kalau bukan petrol subsidi tarik, EV insentif, mcm mn nak galak yg mampu (t20) beralih ke EV? Kalau tak laku EV, siapa yg nak bina kilang EV, charging stesen yg semua blh nikmat masa akn dtg?

@Solisidtor Kau tak faham sebab kau bodo sid, tu je.hebat kerajaan madani ni, masa PN ev tak kena cukai. Sekarang golongan T20 yg nak elak byr petrol takbersubsidi kena cukai. Itupun kerajaan PMX bijak dia tak terus bagi full cukai. Slow2 je di amik untung drpf t20.

@rafiziramli Biasalah, bila tak ada competency bahas 12MP, tulah try to alih tiang goal bangkit issue yg bkn2. Bazir duit rakyat jeh.
