S&P 500 closes higher for a fourth day in a row

The stock market actually went down after Trump took office although I see a lot of economic numbers going up thanks to the stable genius, specifically prices, the unemployment rate and likely interest rates, too.

 

Bro do you have amnesia? Covid was a complete disaster in large part because China was cut off from US supply chain

 

Bro. The supply chain has been far less affected in 25 than in 20…

 

Take this BS lie somewhere else. Normally I would ignore something like this. But this is a personal attack and lie.

 

Dude. Tariff supply chain damages have only just begun to hit the US. Most experts agree the worst is yet to come.

Will it be as bad as 2020? Probably not. But at least 2020 was in response to a once in a lifetime pandemic. 2025 could've been completely avoided.

 

LOL!!!!

Thanks for proving the point!

 

What point. The inflation in 2020 was caused by the worst pandemic in a century. But the upcoming inflation will be caused by our President and was completely avoidable? And the reason why 25 won't be as bad as 20 is Trump has already blinked when the bond market started to collapse. And unless he goes full Trump, the tariffs won't be as big as first promised.

 

As long as everything isn't as bad as a worldwide supply chain shutdown you are fine? No wonder Trump won. In what way is this completely avoidable, self-inflicted loss of value okay to you? And that doesn't even cover the decrease to Americans' standard of living long term with anti-free trade policies. I know MAGA cultists are incapable of complex logic though or thinking ahead a week or two, so probably just spitting in the wind

Walmart, Target CEOs privately warned Trump tariffs could lead to empty shelves soon
The chief executives of Walmart and Target privately warned President Trump this week that his sweeping tariff policy could disrupt supply chains and lead to empty shelves in the coming weeks, sources familiar with the White House meeting told CBS News.

The CEO of Home Depot was also present at Monday's closed-door meeting. Axios was first to report on the retail executives' warnings to Mr. Trump.

How U.S. business leaders are shifting plans amid tariffs and uncertainty
Richard Lesser:

It's not easy to know how you're going to restart. It's not easy to find work force. And I have heard that from CEOs across a whole range of industries.

And then the third is any time you have this much change in such a short time, there's a risk of supply chain shocks. And obviously this isn't COVID. It's nothing like COVID. But that — we saw, when the whole world gets changed overnight, you can have supply chain issues. So how we get from where we have been to where we're going, the risk of the bumps along the way being substantial, like, those things are what's on people's minds.

 

Just stop with the pandemic BS. It is 2025 and most now understand what happened.

 

Thankfully this is negotiating tactics. Unlike covid…

 

Why’d you turn this into yet another Covid thread?

 

I am in the distribution industry. Supply chain issues are already here and you will start seeing it live soon in the market. There is always a delay in these supply chain issues. Agreed not as bad as Covid, but it will be noticeable in a few weeks.

 

Negotiations? That implies that you have very specific goals and objectives amongst two partners that have a particular interest. How can you as a business partner have “negotiations” with hundreds of trading partners all at the same time and expect to get more than one deal done in a single year? Not going to happen especially when your trading partner is untrustworthy and is moving the goalposts constantly. Would you do business with someone who just makes shit up as to why they are ripping up a signed contract? More than likely, if you are a good businessman and you have the best interests of your company at heart, you will look for a new partnership and tell the other party to go pound sand.

 

You trust China?

 

Don’t have to. We’ve heard that Japan has been asking what the US what it wants and our representatives never have an answer for them.

 

And in your mind have not played even one game equates to undefeated, because not playing is not losing.

 

No. I do trust Ireland, Canada, Mexico, India, South Korea, and many other countries being targeted.

 

Has a deal with any county been made yet?
