And this one also for anyone who missed the story about Brazil's devastating deforestation.

https://sustainabilitymag.com/articles/brazil-sets-cop30-agenda-with-bold-calls-for-climate-action

"A new four-lane highway cutting through tens of thousands of acres of protected Amazon rainforest is being built for the COP30 climate summit in the Brazilian city of Belém.

It aims to ease traffic to the city, which will host more than 50,000 people - including world leaders - at the conference in November."

I didn't see this being reported in either of the 2 articles.
And the fuckers will all show up in their private jets.

the amount for this dumbass roadway is a pittance compared to the amount the Brazilians burned to plant soybeans to exploit Trump's completely ridiculous tariffs, which created a permanent competitor to US farmers.

But you care about owning the libs, not US Farmers

Nice try. I went to work for Cargill brokerage out of college which was 22 years ago now. One of the biggest soybean market movers back then was…the weather in Brazil.

We found that while those two dots — the U.S.-Chinese trade war and Amazon wildfires — can be connected, Delaney exaggerated the link. 

Can be connected.

The reason Brazilian weather moves the market is because the weather in the Midwestern US doesn't have much variance, but the Brazilian weather does, so that weather moves the global yield on the margins.

You presented an argument that Trump’s tariffs created a permanent competitor in South America. I offered evidence that South America became a permanent competitor decades ago. This is indisputable.

They probably did clear more acreage to meet demand, but per SA authorities they would have done that anyways after regulations were relaxed—the land just went to soy instead of cattle.

Also where did the consistent midwestern weather come from? Thought we were in the throes of cataclysmic climate change? Just this past fall Ray suggested that a corn field fire was the result of climate change, nevermind the fact that the prairies have been burned both intentionally and unintentionally for millenia.

How's the Tesla?
The Cybertruck is great for towing but I'll take the sedan out for just running errands. If I'm going into Minneapolis or St Paul I'll take the M1 Abrams.

AMD is a permanent competitor to Nvidia. We're just better than them and so we dominate. Why fuck that up for no good reason?

Nonsense, bunk.

You may want to read the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement that the Trump administration negotiated in 2018.  Under that trade agreement, the vast majority of goods entering Canada from the U.S. have no tariffs – or at least, they didn't before the trade war.   
- https://www.dw.com/en/fact-check-trumps-false-claims-about-tariffs/a-72137021

- https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/tariffs-before-trade-war-1.7485622

- https://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/trump-canada-us-dairy-trade-cusma-1.7483049

- https://www.newsnationnow.com/business/canada-200-percent-dairy-tariff-fact-check/

Here’s a few things Trump said about the USMC agreement: 
“Once approved by Congress, this new deal will be the most modern, up-to-date, and balanced trade agreement in the history of our country, with the most advanced protections for workers ever developed.”

“It’s an amazing deal for a lot of people.” 

"[It] includes a substantial increase in our farmers’ opportunities to export American wheat, poultry, eggs, and dairy — including milk, butter, cheese, yogurt, and ice cream, to name a few.”
