Following allegations by the adult film star that she and Trump had an affair in 2006?€”shortly after his wife Melania gave birth to the couple?€™s son Barron?€”the president?€™s approval rating among men rose from 50 to 53 percent compared with last month, according to a new Harvard CAPS/Harris Poll. But female voters are not impressed. The poll, conducted from March 27-29 , showed that among women the president?€™s approval rating dropped from 41 percent to 35 percent, in what the poll?€™s co-director dubbed ?€œthe Stormy effect.?€? ?€œWhile President Trump?€™s overall ratings are stable, his support increased among men and dropped among women,?€? Penn told The Hill. ?€œThis poll was taken right after the Stormy Daniels interview and so I think this increased gender polarization is the ?€˜Stormy Effect?€™,?€? he added. source: yahoo Edited April 3, 2018 by caulfield12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caulfield12 Posted April 3, 2018 Share Posted April 3, 2018 (edited) Can SoxTalk subsidize a new ipad, lol? I have one that?€™s 3 1/2 years old and recently the keyboard has been failing...probably just wearing out and needing replacement like Apple hopes for...also, just ran an IOS update, we?€™ll see. Haven?€™t had a problem with work computer. Whether prices rise (due to proposed tariffs) will ultimately depend on the availability of substitutes, said Brad Setser, senior fellow for international economics at the Council on Foreign Relations. And companies might find ways to skirt the tariffs by making greater use of manufacturing facilities in other countries, like Brazil and Vietnam. "Simply because it costs Apple that much more doesn't mean the consumer will pay [that much] more," said Awi Federgruen, a Columbia Business School professor who studies supply chain management. There's no easy way to determine if companies will decide to raise prices — and if so, by how much. Still, higher prices of any kind could make things tough on stores and shoppers — especially during the upcoming holiday season. "These tariffs might be Grinch tariffs," said David French, senior vice president of government relations at the National Retail Federation. He noted that retailers will make decisions about where to source what they sell in December in coming weeks. Right now, companies are combing through their supply chains to see whether they might be impacted. The USTR list included a lot of general manufacturing equipment, so there could be additional revelations about affected products in the days and weeks to come. For example, even though clothing, shoes and toys were excluded from the initial list, parts and machinery used to manufacture these items may have been included, which could affect pricing. There are also lingering concerns that such items may find their way into the final draft. "Items like apparel and footwear that are not on the list today, may suddenly materialize or appear on a later list," French said. cnn.com Edited April 5, 2018 by caulfield12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caulfield12 Posted April 6, 2018 Share Posted April 6, 2018 Lost in all the soorts action... “In light of China’s unfair retaliation, I have instructed the USTR to consider whether $100 billion of additional tariffs would be appropriate under section 301 and, if so, to identify the products upon which to impose such tariffs,” Trump said in a statement. Trump’s own chief economic adviser, Larry Kudlow, had spent much of the last two days trying to assure investors that a full-blown trade war with Beijing was not in the offing, but news of possible new tariffs sent Dow futures plummeting Thursday night. If anything, each subsequent, self-inflicted headline served to obscure the one Trump had made hours earlier. When looked at in retrospect, however, some historians will no doubt be tempted to ask why the president didn’t simply stick to his original script in West Virginia. yahoo.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How would dumping bonds really benefit them...making the RMB stronger when their exports are under threat seems like the exact opposite of what they choose to do. Not to mention they enjoy the psychological advantage of that imagined “leverage” over the US of controlling $1.2 trillion in debt. US yields might rise in the short term, but their hit would be worse because many of their inefficient state owned enterprises are over leveraged in debt.
