China has quit buying soybeans. I don't know what else. Looking like Trump is real intelligent on tariffs.

American farmers lost a big buyer. China has gone to alternative countries for the purchase.
American farmers will need $10 billion bailouts for years until they can grow another crop.

Trump’s tariffs may be bringing in a lot of revenue but they’ve also been a ‘tax on capital, so far,’ top economist says​

President Trump’s tariffs, highly touted as a lever to boost American industry, are now emerging as a substantial tax on business—putting pressure on corporate profits, labor markets, and prices, according to Morgan Stanley’s chief economist. Michael Gapen draws a striking conclusion in his Monday research note, US Economics Weekly: “Tariffs have been a tax on capital, so far.”

We are frigged. Cap X is only up $365 billion this year. Pathetic. Trump frigged it. Somebody needs to call somebody. We need Biden to deficit spend on a couple of dozen solar golf courses or something.

Deliver every other day and fire every other mailman.

Lots of rural carriers have such large routes and high loads, they have to have backups anyway. With all the Amazon stuff they carry now, I have no idea who will bring what except if I order ammo and it will be FedEx... But a normal order, it's probably a tossup between Amazon and USPS. Big packages might be UPS or Amazon, rarely USPS.

Brazil and Argentina has cut into soy sales to China for years. That's not a matter of tariffs, it's a matter of price.

I heard drone technology can deliever mail at one tenth the cost of a mailman showing up. Prepare for your mail to be delivered by a baby helicopter.

I rarely get an Amazon package via USPS that doesn't fit in my mailbox. Most of mine are either Amazon drivers or Amazon subcontractors
