Well hovey is right...you totally get how nuts these phuckwits are now that you talked to your neighbor!

If you believe polling (I dont) they aren't.

I don't believe them.

I can't wait to talk to my financial advisor about it.

If/when a field goes idle, they either have to extract the equipment, which is expensive, or you have capital tied up, not making money. It’s a big risk to the company.

Thank you, that makes sense.

 

[Kepler]

Sorry, both houses in congress.

Like most democrats, I completely forget about SCOTUS.

Oh, I'm an idiot. I thought you were using some oil and gas term I had never heard of.

"In Germany and Italy, developers have created apps that scan grocery and clothing items for people who want to make sure they are not buying American." Trump has made America a pariah state. https://www.nytimes.com/2025/05/05/business/tariffs-europe-boycott-american-goods.html

"Absorbing cost increases internally" is another way of saying, "Layoffs, automation, and flogging remaining employees." They're not going to cut into profit margin.

"We need tariffs for things in which we have a trade deficit," says guy who then proposes tariffs for one of the few things in which we have a trade surplus.

We don't need English people to make English movies. Kevin Costner and Renee Zellwegger can do their accent perfectly.
