  1. In 2019, U.S. agricultural exports to China totaled $13.8 billion, up from $9.1 billion in 2018. China was the third largest market for U.S. agricultural exports From the ASME 'Hasbro Toys announced in 2019 it would move some of its production to Vietnam and India, forecasting the percentage of its goods produced in China would drop to 50 percent, from two-thirds, by the end of 2020. Some multinational firms, such as Intel, Sharp, Apple, and Google, also have announced plans to diversify and move portions of their manufacturing to Vietnam....The average hourly manufacturing compensation in China now sits at $4.12, according to Barclays research, versus, for instance, $1.59 in India." Some jobs can't be brought back to the US. The US has a natural advantage in Ag, commercial aircraft, entertainment, software,etc. China has lost its advantage in clothing and other labor intensive low cost products. India, Vietnam, Indonesia,etc. are new centers for very low cost manufacturing. "President Biden spoke with Chinese President Xi Jinping for the first time since taking office in a call in which he said he raised issues of human rights, trade policy and international security that divide the two countries while also holding open the possibility of working together on climate change and nuclear proliferation. The call, Wednesday night in Washington, came after Mr. Biden in recent days spoke with a host of allies in Europe and Asia, signaling that he seeks to deal with China as the leader of the world’s democracies rather than solely an American president. The U.S. needs to “join together with others to hold China accountable for its abuses and to shape China’s choices going forward,” said a senior administration official." The correct way is with trade agreements with allies and China. To protect copyrights and use allies to keep China from dumping products and cheating.
  2. Bout time. It leads you to believe again in the US justice system. That its not a
  3. OAN uses the Russian to English translation software so makes sense.
  4. I know, I know for listing agents the markets are always hot. Not enough product. It's only after they are under contract that all of a sudden "the market slowed down we need to reduce the price". Thats usually 24 hours after the listing agreement is signed.
  5. Gee Brent, you found your final resting place in SC. Just down the row from trump.
  6. The agent appraising the property thought the sellers were gullible. So in a tough market he under-priced the appraisal so it would sell quickly. So with little work he gets paid quick and the sellers are SOL. From the Realtor 201 course 'underprice for quick sales and no work".

    The NRC is completing a production facility near Montreal(of course). "Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced today a plan to produce millions of COVID-19 shots at a plant in Montreal starting later this year, securing a domestic supply of vaccines as the global market contends with delivery delays and protectionist measures. The National Research Council-owned Royalmount facility will churn out tens of millions of doses of the product developed by Maryland-based Novavax, Trudeau said. That company submitted its vaccine to Health Canada for regulatory approval last Friday. "This is a major step forward to get vaccines made in Canada, for Canadians.... We need as much domestic capacity for vaccine production as possible," Trudeau said. "We won't rest until every Canadian who wants a vaccine has received one." The agreement will help jump start Canada's largely dormant domestic vaccine manufacturing industry but it will do little to meet the short-term demand for COVID-19 vaccines....The first Canadian-made Novavax vials won't be produced until the end of the year, ' The Sask Covid Vaccine is supposed to be done by the end of the year as well.

    covid-19

    I have to admit the US is kicking Canada's ass in getting the vaccine into people. Our P.M. bought millions of doses of almost every vaccine variant. Canada was among the first countries to buy. But our idiot and chief must have told the pharma companies that polite Canadians like to wait at the end of the line. Canada 2.4% the US 12.3% and with that rate Canada should be fertile ground for the upcoming S. African/Canuck superspreader variant.

    Lifetime smoker and voted 100% party line in all votes for trump in the 117th congress. Diagnosed with lung cancer last August.
  10. This many: "Representative Liz Cheney of Wyoming, the No. 3 Republican, fended off a challenge from her conference’s right flank to strip her of her leadership position in a secret ballot vote held late Wednesday night after she voted to impeach Donald J. Trump last month. The lopsided vote, 145 to 61, according to two people familiar with the results, showed that even as a majority of House Republicans opposed impeaching Mr. Trump, most were not prepared to punish one of their top leaders for doing so — at least not under a blanket of anonymity. It amounted to both a victory for Ms. Cheney, who refused to apologize for voting to impeach Mr. Trump,"

    WTF! "Hunt bears in forest"...Are you sure you didn't receive the Sputnik V vaccine by mistake? That sounds Russian.
  12. I'd suggest people read this: Lawyers are Rats: A top legal scholar exposes the corruption of his profession Every State and Province has a separate Bar. One of which licenses and regulates lawyers within that jurisdiction. One fact unique to the bar is that no state or provincial association makes it a requirement to report the crimes of its members to their prosecutors office for prosecution. Even though every prosecutor is required by its association to log onto their association regularly. To keep abreast of association disciplinary actions. of disciplinary issues. Disciplinary matters typically fall into three main areas. Theft of client funds, usually trust funds. Failing to protect a client, i.e. fulfill their fiduciary duties to their clients. Lastly, obstruction of justice. There is the odd matter of discipline that falls outside these three broad areas. But 90% are within these three areas. All lawyers are required by law and their associations to only submit facts and be truthful in every representation to the courts. Its against the law for a "officer of the court" to knowing lie or to deceive the court. As it is for a police officer. Yet for every admission of criminal offense by a lawyer within a disciplinary committee hearing. For every finding by a disciplinary committee of criminal wrongdoing. None results in prosecution. Associated with every association's right to self discipline and self regulate is a fiduciary duty to the public to uphold the law.To put the public interest in and of justice ahead of their own. In addition, to hold "the highest standards of integrity". Yet for every finding of civil wrongdoing or admission of civil wrongdoing. No association has ever informed a civil party subjected to the wrongdoing of their rights to pursue a civil action against that member. Let alone mandated that their members be available, or assigned to prosecute the wrongdoing of another member. The internal investigation mechanisms that police forces have. Which must forward their investigations to prosecutors for review. Don't exist for lawyers. Finally law societies allow their members to withdraw their licenses to practice law in serious criminal, or civil disciplinary matters. Then tell the public that since they are no longer active members. No further actions by the association can be undertaken. Such withdrawal of license also immediately terminates any law society investigations regardless of circumstance.
  13. Poor old white men. The NRA, evangelicals, trump's PAC- "Save America",the FBI against White fascists, non-white immigrants, women abandoning the GOP and getting ejucated to boot. Everything is going in the wrong direction
  14. Gee you are honest. Another truth. Perhaps i was wrong about you! I remember this show on TV about a buyer looking for oceanfront in the Bahamas. They ended up buying a home that no lie was 18 inches above sea level on an island. It was on a super narrow section that ended up having the ocean on both sides of the property and adjoining neighbors on the other two sides.So it was boat access only. The lot size was about 80' x150'. IMO that agent should have been shot for writing up that agreement.
  15. "color-coded shaded relief map generated with data from the Shuttle Radar Topography Mission. For the view on the right, elevations below 5 meters (16 feet) above sea level have been colored dark blue, and lighter blue indicates elevations below 10 meters (33 feet)." Joe he would just tell them that waterfront sells at premium prices.
  16. 'A U.S. judge has approved a Texas woman's request to go on vacation in Mexico, despite her admission that she took part in last month's insurrection at the U.S. Capitol. Jenny Cudd is accused of breaking federal laws that could result in a prison sentence. But she told the court that she wanted to travel, because she had already paid for the weekend retreat." "Virginia Transportation Department employee Douglas Story was an Aryan Nation member who wrote that he wanted to see President Barack Obama shot in the head, court records say. Ultimately, Story was sentenced to 12 months in jail after pleading guilty in 2012 to obtaining an illegal machine gun.... Washington transit police officer Nicholas Young was also a white supremacist, but he became enamored of the Islamic State terror group, praising their brutal tactics, according to court records. After a six-year investigation involving extensive surveillance and multiple informants, Young was convicted in 2019 of buying $245 in phone cards intended to help ISIS....He got 15 years."
  17. "The brown haze is fog. Of course you can't drink the water, fracking is what pays for all the police and security walls." Talking points from "Republican realtors for America".
  18. As compared to moving a tonne at 120kph? Yeah the heater uses less.
  19. Biden Bars Trump From Intelligence Briefings. It would have been nothing but stock hedging and buying info for the trump clan anyway.

    Perhaps they'll make a movie about air someday and he can be infamous.
