America’s top oil trade groups, meanwhile, said imposing the tariffs would be a mistake - exposing a rare moment of discord between the industry and Trump.
I want this to happen so bad. Please, Trump, stick to your guns. Fuck this shit up! It's the only way the idiots in this country will learn.
What am I saying, Americans are incapable of learning. You know what, do it anyway. Fuck the bozos!
Exemptions will only be issued until after the cheques to trump tower have cleared.
It is going to be funny (not really, because only I will remember this) when the CPC, who made a big stink over the LPC not prosecuting SNC for bribing the son of the Libyan dictator to get a business deal done, begin directly bribing members of the Trump Administration and his family.
25% across the board on raw inputs would bring current $70 WTI barrels to $87.5, and we'll pretty solidly see a price floor of $4/gal from our current nation average around 3.20
That's being extremely charitable. This gives them an excuse to raise prices, and I would be shocked if they didn't throw another 5 or 10% on top in the name of profits.
They were fantastically effective against Canada when the US lumber lobby illegally attacked Canadian processed lumber.
The proceeds of the tariffs were funnelled back into the US companies that paid the import tariff, so the US did not suffer from the massive illegal tariffs applied, and the tariffs were not applied against the raw logs that they did want from Canada.
Illegal as determined by all but one international trade tribunal, because it was claimed to be dumping, but the US had no proof, and Canada had proof to the contrary.
OK. I know this sounds ridiculous, but...what if this is all a secret agenda to prepare us for climate change? Make it too expensive to use gas or drive or buy stuff or buy food.
They slowly ween us off of our dependence on...everything, while making us think it was our idea. (Cause climate change doesn't exist) We would have to go back to living with nothing, poor, and growing our own food. Everyone that can't keep up is given a free meal and work...in jail.
I know, I know. I was just pretending there was a bit of some sort of humanity in this train wreck.
