    USA wins yet another trade deal, and this one where everyone said china would never cave. Now 90 days to make it permanent and help our farmers with more china purchases like last time. Impressive 
    Not even the administration is saying there is a deal. They are saying they have 90 days to work on one. What you are calling a “win” is The U.S. and China temporarily lowering tariffs but neither lowered them to pre-trade war levels. So close consumers in both countries are still paying more than they otherwise would have. Progress on the administrations stated goals, reducing the trade deficit and repatriating manufacturing? None. 

    That people see someone intentionally setting a house on fire and then putting out part of the fire as a “win” is why it’s a cult. Y’all can’t see anything beyond your idol worship. 

    Is Ricky Rubio playing the role of Henry Kissinger? Is Trump Richard Nixon?

    The little bit of good news is, that Canada and Australia, rejected the Trump look-a-likes in their recent elections, do to the recent outburst of the orange fella but unfortunately the USA is stuck for a while. 

    The new Canadian Prime Minister, Mark Carney, has extensive experience in both government and business and appears to be the ideal prime Minister, for the Canadian people in these current times.

    Carney graduated from Harvard University (magna cum laude) and Oxford University’s with a  (masters degree, and a doctorate degree).

    It is noteworthy that China has recently increased its oil and gas purchases from Canada due to the recent actions of the president. Additionally, the oil and gas pipeline that was intended to connect to the Atlantic Ocean will be redesigned to route totally through Canada instead detouring part of the way thru the United States on its way to the Atlantic Ocean. So much winning…..

    Who do you trust in the current administration to negotiate with the Chinese Trump, JD Vance, Ricky Rubio? oh boy…

  • After everything, Epic Games submits new 'Fortnite' to US App Store review

    I hope NOBODY will buy this app ;)
    They will and the parents will blame/cry to Apple in front of the media when their kid rings up the charges to $3000 dollars, in their cry they will voice the unfairness of it all, and ask Apple to give them a refund/forgive the debt because after all the software is running on a Apple device. (Epic/Tencent will be nowhere to be found in true third World fashion and that also includes judge Gonzalez)  :smile:

  • Apple said to use Brazil for lower-tariff iPhones, despite denials

    I’m surprised the supply chains exist enough to build in Brazil.   

    The iPhones assembled in Brazil are for the Brazilian market only and Foxconn has had problems like India just a different way of working. Both are big countries but the incomes simply can’t afford more expensive devices both countries look good on paper but income wise they’re two decades away income wise if ever. There ultimately will be no new Apple jobs coming to America based upon factories assembling iPhones, Apple Watches, or AirPod Pros somewhere overseas. Which was the whole point of the new federal sales tax.

    Making devices somewhere else and dropping your standards won’t work, particularly if the Chinese start to out do Apple like BYD is doing to Tesla. Apple doesn’t have a cult leader as their CEO. That can float Apple as a meme stock, Apple historically is always doomed at first glance by the pundits/analysts. Apple can still sell iPhones in China because they have a better product than Samsung who can’t, the better Chinese smartphones are pretty much the equal to Samsung software and hardware wise. Apple Silicon and Apples OS software along with all the other apps Is what is keeping Apple afloat, not only in China, but in the rest of the world in comparison to the Android devices.
