[QUOTE="RobGMN, post: 8884482, member: 683408"] Humans are as predictable as the weather, especially when it comes to money. Honestly, what make you think Trudeau will just roll over this time when he "won" last time? He's being hit with the same exact threats. People change all the time. 99.99% make intentional change with improvement as the goal. Do you buy a new car hoping it will be shittier than the last one? Do you buy new subs hoping they will underperform? Do you think CEOs change a business in the hopes it will reduce profit? Trudeau trumped Trump last time, AND their exports went UP. Why would YOU expect him to buckle under THIS time? Honest question. And you assume Trudeau saying "good talk" is that he buckled under to Trump's threats? [I]“For every tariff, there will be a response in kind,” [URL='https://subscriber.politicopro.com/f/?id=00000193-698a-d4ab-afdf-fbde48420000']Sheinbaum wrote in a letter sent to Trump.[/URL] The text was released by the Mexican Embassy Tuesday morning, which said the economic fallout of a trade war would harm shared enterprises, particularly automotive companies that operate in both countries. “Among Mexico’s main exporters to the United States are General Motors, Stellantis, and Ford Motor Company, which arrived in Mexico 80 years ago.

Now you move the goalpost to YOUR gas station?

All I've seen is that he intends to impose blanket tariffs unless other countries fix our drug problem. That's too vague to bet on. Define "greatly", and give a time frame for "rebound". You can give a range, but don't say "anything from current state to full", or "sometime in the next four years, directly or indirectly". Make a it a reasonably narrow range. You want me to take a bet where there is no proof of your paying off if you lose? **** no. I offered you a $10,000 bet where the money would be held in escrow by an attorney of YOUR choosing, and you were afraid to take it. I'm not taking a bet where you won't even pay off. Trend lines are created across peaks and valleys. Yours tries to strike an average, and even then it shows where the decline starts and continues. If you put your trend line across the peaks, the decline from 2019-on will look even worse. [ATTACH type="full" width="582px" alt="1733077734741.png"]61647[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
