    The goalpost just got moved to August 2nd from July 9th. So much wins if so many deals are being made! Where is BS1000?

    Somewhere telling people that predictions are not always correct? Believing that is the response to everything? The economic equivalent of fiddling while Rome burns?

    At LarryB. Your 12:11 pm post about the TACO trade is already outdated.

    Hahaha.

    Tomorrow’s tweet tonight: “Who the hell is this ‘court?’ Has anybody ever heard of them? Why are they rolling out these fake decision decisions that never should be allowed? It’s a disaster for our country and needs to be fixed IMMEDIATELY. Thank you for your attention to this matter!”

    Not enough upper case shouting in your post - for future reference. You did hit on how the wealthiest nation in the world is being victimized once again, though. So overall an A+.

  • @mona - excellent. Really well presented.

    Did you think the resolution would be quick? Only if you are naive. It's a process that will take months-years; after all, changing the world takes time.
    Any time we get more, it's a win; it doesn't matter if it's 5% or 20%.

    Just like Amazon and Apple. If you want to sell your products on their widely used platforms, you pay something. The US markets are similar.

    If you truly do "get more", that is a win, but it's not that simple, of course. Get more from whom; who's footing the bill? What did, or does, it cost elsewhere? Did the gain accrue to something worthwhile, or did we simply cut something we didn't want in order to buy something else we wanted? What's the net goal? Again, I'm at a loss to see how 'we the people' have actually gained anything!?
