I didn't blame the previous admin for anything, just responded to your learn to code jibe.....my response is still valid, if you were expecting a flip of a light switch type of change, you had false expectations. I'll re-evaluate things in about 8-12 months, once the new admin has had a chance to move things in their direction, but not after only 7 weeks.

I guess I need to remind you that stock markets are forward looking.

Wall Street is always fueled by paranoia. Stocks fluctuate everytime Trump sneezes.
Poodles shouldn't start a trade war with a Pitbull.

The government pays about 60% of crop insurance farmers 40. This year I may take some and pray it doesn't rain. Then I wouldn't have to pay to harvest and leave it for the game. Win win. Woul hurt my feeling if they ended the communist farming

I think it varies by crop...know we pay the full bill from our carrier, think almonds are the same as citrus, at least that's what my neighbor told me.

The stock market so over valued that a 30% drop is long over due. Actually foreign markets are a better buy now. European defense stocks?

As far as Canada becoming the 51st state? Trump just needs to STFU on that idea.
We dont need to add the liberal population of Canada to the cesspool of liberals we already have in this country.

Money managers are forward looking, markets are too often reactionary. My money manager isn't panicking, so I'm not. I like Sec. Blinken, he certainly has the experience and is level headed....watched a couple of recent interviews with him, so my forward outlook is positive right now....time will tell, but it certainly isn't panic time by any means.

What changes?
Another %50 tariff to Canada steel today?
I don't give a shit about that senile old fool but when do you stop blaming the previous administration?

Personally, I'll stop blaming the last administration when the American people are done cleaning up the mess of the last administration; just like the screaming about egg prices that has only come about in the last few weeks.....

To expand on the dairy issue U.S. dairy farms are also subsidized to the tune of 15-19 billion dollars annually. 73% of returns on U.S. dairy are government funded.

What is your data source for this?

The Philippines is another place that could use some pollution control. Spend a day or two in Manila and your lungs and throat will hurt.
It's a country where millions of people still burn trash.

Been there twice and i can testify to this.

Make no mistake about it the trade war was started by the u.s.

Trump needing to STFU as you so eloquently worded is the first thing you have said of any real value. Congratulations on finally making a worthwhile contribution.

I don't know when you'll stop blaming the previous administration but I know you'll never blame the current administration as most of the die hard MAGA here.

Make no mistake about it, Trump is leveling the playing field. Canada has been a tariff abuser for a long time.

Like most things, it's a matter of perspective.....the pendulum for US trade, manufacturing, national interests, et al is so far out of whack, caused by decades of our so called leadership's failures and self-serving interests, that it's going to take a hard pull back the other way to bring it to center. Many of those who have benefited from the pendulum being out of whack in their favor are crying trade war, etc., while those of us on this side are calling it a long over-due correction. As to Canada, I do think that the rhetoric on that front is a bit over-stated, but some things do need to be adjusted, IMO, probably in both directions.

Thank you. I'll be here..... reading another day's worth of nonsensical spew from the great white north.

%30????
Do you have any idea what would happen if the market drops %30???

Sure do, give me a great opportunity to buy...just like the last time it dropped a bunch....made a great return over time, by not panicking.

Agreed.... But Canada can end it anytime it sees fit.
