Who is being difficult? It’s not possible for islands with no people on them to export things. The article says so itself.
Care to comment on Trump getting caught using a ChatGPT formula to actually determine tariff rates?
No, it’s called Occam’s Razor. The article even says they reached out for comment from both the U.S. and the island’s administrator.
The island has no people living on it. It’s impossible.
Why do government jobs count less, in your mind?
Why are these layoffs planned “months ago” but we can go ahead and screech over a car company supposedly planning on moving a production plant here?
The big asbestos factory is never coming back.
How is this possible when the island is uninhabited? Sounds like a data error to me.
I have seen the stock market crash before. I’ve never seen it crash because the President decided to absolutely kill all free trade with our allies.
A lot of economists have figured out that the tariff rate was calculated this way.
It’s also very likely they used ChatGPT to do it.
The asbestos factory is never coming back. Grow up.
I appreciate that but you still have a “wait and see” attitude that doesn’t make sense to me. We KNOW tariffs are bad. We KNOW the historical precedent for this is awful.
Also there’s plenty of evidence to suggest that increasing supply lowers housing costs besides it being simple supply and demand theory. Austin, Texas, is a prime example.
