Just stupid https://archive.is/tEMBM#selection-2459.0-2459.175 Traders in the US are paying much higher prices for copper, aluminium and steel than their European counterparts as they rush to buy the metals ahead of President Donald Trump’s tariffs. The high US premiums reflect a “distorted” market, said Tom Price, an analyst at Panmure Liberum, reflecting fears about a “starvation of supply” rather than the more usual reason of increased demand. Higher US premiums are a reflection of “the expectation that prices will be higher in future as a result of tariffs”, said Daria Efanova, head of research at Sucden Financial. “Markets are pricing that before it actually hits.” “The uncertainty creates a skittishness,” said Al Munro, an analyst at Marex. “It creates a lack of investment. You just sit there and you don’t do anything.” The potential tariffs on steel and aluminium are likely to have a particularly big impact on Canadian aluminium smelters, which supply about 44 per cent of US aluminium needs.

This is Trump's America, poorer, fewer options for consumers, heavier taxes, higher prices and shortages. How about backing the CDC so they can find ways to stop the bird fu from wiping out the chickens? https://www.ibtimes.com/costco-trader-joes-impose-limit-egg-purchases-avian-flu-hits-supply-3763221 An egg shortage triggered by avian flu has prompted several grocery stores, including Costco, and Trader Joe's, to limit purchases. Trader Joe's, with about 600 stores across the U.S., has a one-dozen eggs per day limit. "We hope these limits will help to ensure that as many of our customers who need eggs are able to purchase them when they visit Trader Joe's," a Trader Joe's representative said Monday, CNN reported.

His supporters would still support him, even if he dumped sh it over their heads Steve Bannon, the confidant of President Donald Trump, pleaded guilty Tuesday to defrauding New Yorkers who donated to "We Build the Wall," an online fundraiser for Trump's signature project during his first term, in exchange for a sentence without prison time. "The parties have worked out a plea agreement. Mr. Bannon will plead guilty to count 5 of the indictment, which is scheme to defraud in the indictment. He will receive a conditional discharge," prosecutor Jeffrey Levinson said. The guilty plea to the felony charge represents Bannon's second criminal conviction after he served prison time for contempt of Congress. -
He was so drunk he probably didn't notice them https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/national-security/hegseth-protest-dei-transgender-germany-military-rcna191636 Military families protesting the Defense Department's anti-DEI push heckled Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth on his arrival at United States European Command headquarters in Germany on Tuesday. On a visit to the U.S. military’s key European military hub in Stuttgart, Hegseth was booed by around two dozen people who live at the base in an apparent demonstration against the policies currently being implemented by the Trump administration. The demonstrators at the short protest repeatedly chanted “DEI,” apparently in a reference to the recent ban Hegseth has placed on some books in defense department schools. Hegseth last week ordered the restriction of learning materials covering subjects that included psychology and immigration in DOD schools.

Feb 11 (Reuters) - Gold prices hit a record high on Tuesday, spurred by safe-haven demand as U.S. President Donald Trump's new tariffs on steel and aluminium imports heightened concerns about a possible global trade war. Spot gold hit a peak of $2,942.70 per ounce in Asian trading hours before easing to stand 0.1% lower at $2,904.59 as of 1118 GMT. Bullion's eighth record high of 2025 has brought the glittering $3,000 milestone into view as investors navigate growing uncertainties over the repercussions of U.S. trade policies.

😂 And no meat packing yet! https://www.newsweek.com/immigrant-deportations-removals-trump-biden-obama-compared-chart-2026835 The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) said Tuesday that in the first two weeks of President Donald Trump's second term, nearly 5,700 illegal immigrants had been deported. If the new administration continues at that clip, one expert told Newsweek, then it would be on track to deport half the number of migrants removed during former President Joe Biden's last full fiscal year in 2024.
