Posted in: Gov't to expedite release of rice reserves amid surging prices See in context
Japanese people eat imported rice every day. They just don't know it.
exactly, my wife wants to buy a particular local brand, yes almost twice as expensive as a normal Japanese brand. I secretly buy a 10kg bag of US rice, mix it together 50/50, and the family doesnt even know the difference. LOL

appreciative of how Trump used the threat of tariffs to get our neighbors to stop being so lax in stemming the drug flow into our country.
but thats not what happended, Trump folded from the market freefall and the impending inflation doom, all this will be repeated in 30 days if he decided to start it all over again. MAGA : FAFO

They gave Trump exactly what he demanded!
lol Canada agreed to 1.3 border funding in Dewcember,
Mexico was already putting troops at the border since 2021, Mexico got Trump to agree to
stopping the illegal flow of guns from the US to Mexico
As predicted Trump caved to the markets, they were in a downward spiral after the tariff war,
and hell fold again in 30 days if he decides to start up the trade war again, makrets will react the same

But tariffs supposedly don’t work according to posters here.
and they dont, America exports 1.2trillion in good services to the EU Canada Mexico evry year, those same countries are prepared to retaliate with their own tarriffs on American goods, nowhere in this impending trde war does AMerica and its economt and markets get out of this without considerable damage.
not one economist left or right thinks this is a god idea. the China trade war with the US was about 1/3 the size of whats coming. so are gas and egg prices going down yet LOL. its going to get a whole lot more expensive. remeber Biden went through his whole term with record low unemplyment and no recession. inflation at 2.2% when he left office
Now youve got Trump MAGA aka FAFO

I just have to pay any customs fees. No probs for me.

as its stands Trump doesnt have the popular vote win, hes still under 50% of the electoral count.
It wasnt a landslide as maga make it out. 150000 votes across 4 states decided the winner.
