And tractors. Having DEF or regen on farm equipment is asinine and not only does it hamper the horsepower it actually burns more fuel. And it constantly messes up and requires expensive repairs only the dealership service dept can do.

I run 50 hp tractors mostly John Deere on pto paddlewheel aeration for emergency backup on the catfish ponds. A 50 hp older JD pre regen burns 3-5 gallons if I run it for 8-10 hours. A regen 5065E JD will burn 10-12 gallons because you have to run it at higher rpms to do a regen burn. And it tears up the bearings and gearboxes on paddlewheels because they aren’t designed to run that fast. It serves literally zero purpose

Everything I see is a 30% tariff on Chinese goods.


Yes in regards to the reciprocal and fentanyl tariffs.

I know I read somewhere earlier it stated the existing tariffs were still in effect I’ll try to find which article it was in. But those were targeted tariffs on things like steel and aluminum not blanket ones. The blanket tariffs are at 30%

I'm happy to see progress, but 90 days is bullshite from a planning perspective for me personally.


If no trade deal is reached within 90 days it can be extended further as long as there are good faith negotiations ongoing

Tariffs only go back up if China walks away from negotiations or if it becomes obvious they’re just stalling and not trying to reach a deal

We have had a 25% tariff on most goods from China since 2018. Now we are at 30% per the deal. So basically back to where we started.


This is false, the 30% is the 10% baseline tariff plus 20% fentanyl tariff. The 25% from 2018 remains intact so it’s 55% altogether

So, basically back to where they were before Trump took office.


Wrong. The tariffs on China from Trumps first term remain

The 30% is his 10% baseline tariffs he put on all countries this term plus the 20% fentanyl tariffs
Agreement with China

90 day agreement

Overall tariffs on China reduced to 30% on top of existing tariffs from Trumpa first term

China reduces tariffs on U.S. to 10%


Agreement can be extended after 90 days if no trade deal is reached as long as good faith negotiations continue

Hahaha busted. The look on Macrons face is priceless
Newsom or Shapiro


Shapiro is probably the safer pick. Newsom is too far left with a terrible track record. Shapiro is a little more centrist and been an ok governor in a swing state
