You guys just need to meet out in a deserted field late one night and settle this drama. If someone asked, had you rather have to type 14,171 posts, which equals millions of text, or get roughed up a bit. I’d gladly take the roughed up route and be on my way…

I offered a parking lot in KY a long while back. He did not come.

I miss Buck... he posted some cool images.

Listen crazy person... You claim Trump made the market drop because of Tariffs.
I said if the people who we are putting tariffs on played fair then the market would recover those loses quickly.
You apparently are ignorant of the word "fair" probably from voting democrat your whole life.
Fair meaning beneficial to them as well as the U.S. where both parties are cool with the tariff % if any.
This way fair trade... there is that word again... fair trade can continue and be prosperous for everyone.
I bet it would allow markets to rise all over the planet. It's amazing what being fair can do huh?

You crazy weirdo.

1. Market losses are lost. Gone. Never to be seen again. It's not a stolen car that gets recovered and returned, or the wallet full of cash that a good samaritan gives back to you.

You keep screaming fair trade because you heard Trump say it, but you cannot explain what "fair" trade IS. You think Canada is UNfair to us in trade, even though we are the ones screwing them. You think it's UNfair for China to hit use with equal and reciprocal tariffs when the orange idiot jacks them from the 20% that existed on both sides, to 50 or even 100%.

"Fair trade". Is it "unfair trade" when best Buy sells a TV for less than Bob & Betty's Home Electronics? Is it "fair trade" when the average American spends $1500 on Canadian goods, but the average Canadian spends $7,000 on American goods? Is it "fair trade" when American Coca Cola makes Chinese people pay a premium for soda that would be cheaper without the name branding on every can?

What is YOUR explanation of fair trade? Leave out the "drug running" fallacies. Leave out the random complaints of other countries being unfair with no talk of why or how.
Just tell me specifics of "unfair" trade.

So once the money is lost... it is gone.... by your explanation the market should never recover and will remain below that line?

I have explained what I mean. I don't care to keep explaining it over and over since your goal is to never comprehend it.

Here you go again, dictating how I am to respond to you.

Fair.

We send one apple to Japan. There is a 10% tariff.
Japan sends us one Momo. There is a 10% tariff.

Fair.

Yet another hasty generalization. How does the fact that money lost is gone forever (unless someone finds it and hands it back to you) become "the market should never recover and will remain below that line"?

If someone stole your car and then set it on fire, the insurance company would say it's a total loss. Would you take that as "Every car that is ever stolen will be declared a total loss by insurance."?
Go into Kroegers and drop a jar of pickles on the concrete floor. It all gets swept up and put in the trash.
They put a new jar on the shelf to replace it. Does that mean the first jar is not lost forever? Maybe to a child who has no concept of anything other than what they see in front of them...

At what point did I ever say the markets will not or cannot move back up to a previous level? They CAN. But that doesn't mean the money lost magically reappears in trading accounts. If it did, the market would not need to exist.

I have explained what I mean. I don't care to keep explaining it over and over since your goal is to never comprehend it.

Yes. You "explained" it by repeating that other countries are screwing us, then pointed out the illegal drug trade in which more illegal drugs go to Canada from here, than come here from Canada.

Here you go again, dictating how I am to respond to you.

Fair.

Fair.

So when we work for years towards no tariffs, and then Trump decides he will try to slam other countries by imposing tariff of ridiculous numbers like 50-100% or more, then Trump is being "unfair".
Correct?

Cool, if it helps your brain.... By all countries playing FAIR with tariffs the Markets can make NEW MONEY to recover with. Jesus Christ.

This is as dumb as Jimi's claim that Trump had nothing to do with it.

I never claimed Trump had nothing to with it. You're so desperate to be right that you're distorting other people's comments in an effort to make them wrong. TDS.

It's kind of messed up that there is a finite amount of money on this planet. It doesn't just disappear once it is lost in the market. It literally moves from one place to another.

Liberals are all about "New Money". "If we need more just print more!!"
