Chinese Exports Unexpectedly Slump for First Time Since February Exports fell for the first time in eight months, dropping 1.1% from a year earlier, according to official data released Friday. Shipments to all nations except the US rose 3.1%, not enough to compens...

Several versions of this headline. Not a surprise exports are down, small businesses screaming about this since April.

Several people in my industry went out of business as a result of tariffs. This kind of reporting is asinine. Put blame where it belongs.

Nice job

Be careful out there

THREADS criticized for lazy AI copywriting and a poisoned algorithm

I hope the national guard is prepared for all the scared white people they're going to find when they get here

And yet these stupid motherfuckers started taking money away from small businesses like mine - that could have gone to build factories - with tariffs that were enacted by the snap of a finger.

We've let one person go and won't hire two we had planned because of this.

I'm still trying to find my composure

I'm listening to a professional development book that's centered on the two types of thinking (i.e. short burst intuitive vs. longer-term considerate logic) and it's mentioned several times that 7 minutes is about the upper limit most people can engage sustained thought.

Mine took close to two months

Why, as someone who is not a doctor or scientist and has a documented history of heroine use and brain worms, do you feel qualified to make decisions regarding vaccines and other important medical treatments for more than 330 million people?

I remember being at work on Jan 6 and thinking and talking about, "should we be working, how are we supposed to focus, etc.?" and now everyday feels like that.

Year 2 gonna be lit

Our brains are not made for a nonstop stream of all the horrors going on in the world.

When we were kids, there was the 5 o'clock news and that was basically it. They'd do five minutes on national stuff and two or three on international.

24/7 media has ruined our ability to be rational.

But Ja would last three weeks playing 46 minutes per game

I don't think salaries of drafted players should count toward luxury tax penalties.

There should be a salary cap and floor based on the averages teams pay to signed players.

Penalties should be lobbied against that, but drafted player money should have no cap or penalty.

The conclave has the opportunity to do the funniest thing ever.

Elect him. Fucking make him do it.

It's absolutely insane

Go to an MMA / jiu jitsu / boxing gym. Get it out of your system. It's not that complicated.

I sell stuff to major retailers and am reasonably sure they're squeezing us now, saying they're not going to help with tariffs, but intend to raise prices claiming it's because of tariffs and just pocket the difference as pure profit.

He also willingly throws lobs off the back yard for superior players

Can't Mrs. Abrego Garcia Sue Fox News into another dimension at this point?

Ja is going to be on Sports Center tonight

Is this the Summer during which Trae Young becomes self aware?

I really hope after Vegas and Seattle expansion we get a reorg that includes Grizz in the East

I'm seeing a lot of sentiment saying this is over, meanwhile my business is still going to go under when we have to pay 125% on board games we import.

As someone who runs a company directly impacted by this, I would add if there was ever a glimmer of us building a factory here, these tariffs just took away a lot of money would could have used to do that.

Oh look it's fun Ja

I called Hagerty and Blackburn's offices this morning.

As constructed, these tariffs put my small business under later this year.
