Here’s the gift link I didn’t know that we sell more education-related travel overseas than natural gas and coal combined. That probably includes tuition room, board, and books. International students have long been a cash cow for universities.
There will be much suffering and bankruptcy to “save” enough to fund the billionaire’s tax cut.
Wars?
All. Trump is killing all our exports. Not some. Not just farmers. Every outgoing product is getting screwed.
Farmers who just got China back as a trading partner have to find a buyer for soybeans at a markup.
Our oil and gas products are radioactive as far as the rest of the market is concerned. We will need to accept far below market price to be able to sell to any major players. Problem is, those players won’t touch our oil.
I mean, what does the US want to export?
Agricultural goods… they are unfit to be sold in EU anyway, and if you annoy other countries they will find food from another supplier.
Weapons… mostly to allies. EU weapons industry is booming, they will produce more themselves, buy less from US. Not a smart move pissing them off. You can’t think EU companies won’t be able to produce good weapons…
Energy… too complicated to simplify, but there absolutely are other suppliers.
Cars… they are mostly unfit for other markets because the US has idiotic regulations and way too big cars (other countries have much more expensive gasoline). So US companies produce variants of their cars fit for other markets outside the US. I once owned a Ford which was produced in Spain… actual car exports from the US are a very niche thing.
All other relevant US exports are digital, software and services…
On the imports side, just look at where pharmaceuticals come from and really think if you want tariffs… 72% of pharmaceuticals for the US market are produced overseas…
Us treasuries?
Sexpats? The 30% decline in stocks since Feb, when accounting for the decline in the USD relative to the Euro (but also other currencies) must be hurting “passport bros”
T bonds? Lol
trump is killing America…period…from the inside and the outside. the tariffs are just part of his destructive plan.
