$200 to $300 is not much of a difference, right?
it’s not, it won’t stop anyone from buying a Japanese car if they want. Or they can buy used.
plus now there is a tax break on the interest paid on car loans.
assuming any of these supposed price hikes even happen.

Japan has the fourth largest economy in the world, larger than any economy in the Middle East
so your position is that Japan is “rich” (your word- nothing about economies) more than the Middle East countries? lol
so now it’s NOT who has the most people, NOT who is the richest country but now which has the largest economy?

You see, when you’re a rich country you typically tend to buy more than you sell to other countries
Yet the other guy said when you have more people you buy more goods.
now it’s based on if you are “rich” or not?
so why does poor Japan have deficits with the rich Middle East?

I am a seller
not to your supermarket.
kinda ruins the narrative when you try to bring in a 3rd party, your employer, when trade is directly between 2 countries not 3.
the US doesn’t have to sell to Canada before they can buy from Japan.

I buy more goods there than I sell to the supermarket.
because “you” don’t sell anything that a supermarket would want.
You aren’t a seller and you have zero expectation that a supermarket would buy from you. So of course you are fine.
This is too simple.

“Today we learned that the trade deficit jumped to its highest level in 13 months. This is not an accident. This is yet another sign of the failed economic policies of the (X) administration that (X political candidate) seeks to extend — policies that reflect unprecedented fiscal irresponsibility and borrowing from abroad”
is this statement incorrect?
trade deficits are failed economic policies that show fiscal irresponsibility?

Wrong. I sell my labor to my employer so I can use that profit to purchase goods from the supermarket
unemployed people, retired people and those on welfare don’t purchase goods?
its nothing about “you” personally. We are talking about trade. Between countries.
not one consumer.

Posted in: Trump sends out tariff letters to 7 more countries but avoids major U.S. trade partners See in context
Please explain why having a trade deficit is bad. I’ll wait
because we want other countries to buy more goods from us than we buy from them, not less.
So that we receive more money then we spend. So that we have more money to pay for things we want and need as Americans.

It stands to reason that that country with the higher population will buy more goods than the smaller country.
so the US would have a huge trade surplus in goods with China and India!
oh wait. We don’t. Why?

If we’re purchasing the things we need or want from them then that’s a good thing.

Posted in: European heatwave caused 2,300 deaths, scientists estimate See in context
“Scientists use estimation when exact measurements are difficult, time-consuming, or impossible to obtain”
you can’t determine if someone is dead or not?
and what they died from?
neither difficult nor time consuming nor impossible to obtain.
well If you aren’t in a hurry and refuse to wait for reports and data.
The scientists said they used peer-reviewed methods to quickly produce the estimated death toll, because most heat-related deaths are not officially reported and some governments do not release this data.
just using “science” to lazily claim liberal political narratives.
zero reports and zero data to show causation in some of the claimed deaths.
plus the old favorite:
including if exposure exacerbated pre-existing health conditions.

To answer the question, he was “brought back” to stand trial. For his multiple crimes. While being in pre-trial detention until that trial is over.
then the activist judge started immediately talking about releasing him until the trial. What?
so nope, he can be deported back out to somewhere not El Salvador if activist judge planning to just release him without a trial first.
if he wants a trial, stay in prison until it happens. If he wants out of prison and no trial, it will be after he is deported from the USA.

if you want to be an activist to back to Canada and do it there.
