@SteveSaretsky Wow, we’ve come full circle. My buddy realtor just said the same thing last month. He was complaining that he was spending so much money on listings, photos and food with nothing to show.

New trend in the real estate market. Realtors turning down listings! Some are even adding clauses for reimbursement of marketing expenses if sellers terminate listings early. Unrealistic sellers are an unprofitable business!

@sentova @KobeissiLetter Allies like Vietnam? So now Vietnam should scramble to sell to the US, working to increase their trade deficit, then what, have their 46% bumped?

Mr.PE@SENTOVA·
The U.S. response will need to be multifaceted: accelerating domestic production (the U.S. has just 1.17% of global reserves), investing in recycling tech (currently costly, per RAND), and diversifying supply chains through allies like Vietnam (18% of reserves). But these solutions take years, and China knows it. This isn’t just a trade skirmish—it’s a preview of 21st-century resource wars, where economic leverage and strategic minerals define power. The U.S. must act swiftly to avoid being checkmated on this global chessboard

China's response was personal: On top of 34% tariffs, they have imposed export controls on 7 types of rare earth metals. China knows how important rare earth metals have been for President Trump.

@ArthurX64226676 @SpencerHakimian I have had a small factory in Vietnam for almost 10 years. You’re suggesting a USA factory will be paying wages comparable to VN wages?

@SpencerHakimian When you bring manufacturing back to US, workers won't be 20 bucks an hour. Probably same as Vietnam's if not less, once US learns how to use full force of technology: Robotics, AI, and American ingenuity

Vietnam buys $10B per year to the U.S. Who gives a shit if they tariff themselves 10% or 0% on it? We buy $150B per year from Vietnam. And we just self taxed ourselves 50% on all of that for no reason at all. We deserve what is coming for us. Economically illiterate society electing economically illiterate leaders to make economically illiterate decisions.

@KhavarianFarhad @DI_3 @GuntherEagleman Is this true? If they’re on credit terns I doubt they’d be accepted back and even if it’s allowed, likely not happening without paying freight and a restocking fee

@BobKnezevic @Nanny7779311 @Acyn So then when the Australian importer pays the $1200 tariff to their own government to bring the Korean washing machine in, what happens ? They raise the price of that washing machine that’s being sold in USA. Their customer pays the $1200 to them .

@BobKnezevic @Nanny7779311 @Acyn If the customer no longer wants to buy the now $1200 more expensive machine, they can choose to buy a non imported one (unless Australia doesn’t make washing machines in country, or does but needs to import Korean components which are more $$)

A seven minute video explaining all of the problems in Canada. Interprovincial transport restrictions. Idiotic laws and a corrupt judiciary. Endless, crippling construction. Yes, @PierrePoilievre. We know Canada is broken. Despite being some of the most heavily taxed people. You know what won’t help solve existing problems in Canada? Creating a tariff war with America. You thought you could exploit anti-Trump sentiment for political profit against Trudeau instead of just addressing the legitimate grievances raised by Trump. This video only serves to show just how broken Canadian “leadership” truly is.

according to Grok: This image appears to be an X-ray of a forearm with several surgical pins or plates in place. Here's a breakdown of what can be observed: Surgical Hardware: The bright white lines and shapes are indicative of metal hardware such as pins, plates, or screws used in orthopedic surgery to stabilize fractures. Bone Structure: The bones of the forearm, likely the radius and ulna, are visible. The presence of hardware suggests that these bones have been fractured and surgically repaired. Fracture Sites: The darker lines or irregularities in the bones could represent the original fracture sites, now stabilized by the hardware. Healing Process: The X-ray might show signs of bone healing around the hardware, which could include callus formation or bone remodeling. Alignment: The bones appear to be properly aligned, which is a good sign for post-surgical recovery. Given these observations, the diagnosis could be related to a complex fracture of the forearm requiring surgical intervention for stabilization and healing. This could be due to trauma, an accident, or a severe injury. However, for a precise medical diagnosis, a professional radiologist's or orthopedic surgeon's evaluation would be necessary.
