Tired of winning yet, dairy farmers?

Quote:Drowning in milk: US dairy farmers get little help from Canada trade deal
Quote:“The only thing that will help us is less milk or more consumption of milk,” said Scooter LaPrise, 53, who with his wife has about 30 cows on one of eight remaining dairy farms in Rhode Island.
“It’s not going to fix anything,” he said of the revamped trade agreement. “It’s just something to catch votes.”

One of the two industrial giants whose stock tumbled in one of the big "down" days this week, was Caterpillar.
Why you ask ? Trump's idiotic tariffs.

Quote:Tech Giants Slide, Pulling US Stock Market Sharply Lower
Quote:Stocks appeared to have regained their footing after a skid in October snapped a six-month string of gains for the S&P 500. Stocks rallied last week after the U.S. midterm elections turned out largely as investors expected, with a divided Congress promising legislative gridlock in Washington the next couple of years.
While the market has typically thrived in periods of divided government, investors continue to grapple with uncertainty over the U.S.-China trade dispute and the potential impact of increased oversight of Corporate America by Democrats, who will be taking over leadership in the House of Representatives in January.
If any groups needs to be scrutinized it is these business, criminal, asshole, pricks.

Quote:US farmers scramble to contain trade-war damage, find new markets
Quote:Sri Lanka bought about 3,000 metric tons of U.S. soybeans last year. China bought about 32 million tons – but now buys almost none after Beijing slapped a 25 percent tariff on U.S. imports in July. The move came in retaliation for U.S. duties on Chinese goods imposed by U.S. President Donald Trump.
U.S. farmers would need about 11,000 markets the size of Sri Lanka to replace Chinese soybean purchases, but these days many growers will take any shred of new business they can get

Putting that in a workaday context, 3,000 MT of soybeans will give you exactly one slack hold on a bulk cargo vessel that will be loaded and trimmed in about an hour.
One fucking hold in one hour.
Meanwhile, China is simply turning to South America to get their soybeans.
This is what tariffs bring. Way to go, Trump, you unbelievable imbecile.

They were expecting the market to pop after the midterms. No such luck. This may be the recession everybody has been predicting.
