In the market we call her “Nance in Advance.”
The most important part of it is “is there anything you’d like to admit, before we take the test?”
By far the greatest flaw of this thinking is that there is an exception for the things they want.
This doesn’t feel like a genuine question, because it’s an open secret that a majority of american restaurants, farms, and construction outfits run on migrant labor at below minimum wage. I personally work in construction in Oregon, and I’m well aware of this, even hundreds of miles from a boarder.
Projects will have a budget that will have an expected return on investment (ROI) over a fixed period of time for private sector. Public projects raise a bond, and you can’t exceed the bond.
Raise steel 10-25% and you can blow past the budget window, because steel construction parts go up to match. Create uncertainty about the future market, and your ROI calculation is toast.
It frustrates me when people say “well just buy american steel,” as if people were not already buying american steel as well as foreign. Now there’s not enough steel so prices go up. There’s no strategic pile of steel reserve. If a store normally sells 100 apples a day and suddenly there are 76, would you say “just buy american apples” when the price went up and there were shortages?
After they feed I assume they’re a little warm…
Hey, I do some electrical stuff. I would strongly suspect steel is the reason this isn’t economic, because I’m hearing copper is actually going down.
Trading stops at the end of day, for accounting purpose. Some traders can still access over-the-counter trades but they are not required to be reported (if I remember correctly) until sometime in the morning of the market they’re made in. You will see some price movement when London and the DAX open.
Watch futures for a good price estimate. ES for SPY and NQ for Nasdaq.
This guy does defense economics but he did a good piece on the tariffs: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=nVZ1lcw2bVU
I have two smaller businesses, and I’ve both laid off due to expected decrease in business and bought supplies ahead due to expected shortages.
You’re good putting together that you wouldn’t build a factory right now because uncertainty doesn’t let you predict returns. Not only can you not predict the next president and their tariff policy, I wouldn’t say you can predict trump’s actions tomorrow. I heard an interview John Bolton did today, and he said something along the lines that “trump doesn’t think, he reacts.” Tariffs could be zero or 500% next month or next year or tomorrow. The safe move is to wait and see - and while everyone waits and sees, only small-scale production will start, definitely not enough to sustain demand.
Honestly, if I had the money to build a factory right now, I’d park it and wait to buy one from a company that fails in all this. It would save so much money.
If you dried the cheese they might take it. Maybe if you wrapped it in cello tape. Then it would be a lot like mailing a coconut.
Assuming I’m snapped back to the same part of the earth, climate-wise that’s ideal in the US PNW coming out of spring. Plenty of berries and food to forage, and I’ll probably impress the natives with my watch and well made clothes. I can probably get the native tribes to metals, and gain acceptance with my magic hand tool that will briefly shine light at night for a few weeks. I don’t know offhand where copper would be, but I know gold is in the streams, and I know how to placer mine, so I can get some electricity going with that and magnetized rocks from lava flows.
I think first contact would be the key.
Have the day you voted for.
I know - can the person accept hundreds of planets and that ours is less special, or do they need to change a definition (including exceptions) to keep their world view.
It’s useful, helps with the flow of the ideas, and is more like the sentence is spoken.
Congratulations, you’re one of today’s lucky “feels like I’m 10,000.”
Is DAP the same as FOB?
I mean, have the day you voted for.
