affordability

[Grape Ape]

You realize how silly that list is right?

lets take the United arab emirates. they are going to invest 1.4 trillion are they? over ten years. There gdp as a country is 525 billion annual. That would be like saying the us plans to invest 95 trillion in china over ten years, do you not see how retarded that sounds? it will never occur and its the same shit zuckerberg did, make up a number. He was caught on a hot mic saying I am not sure what number you wanted me to say.

These are appeasements. Half the other investments are not new or related to trump. Manufacturing jobs are down month over month, where are these investments?

these are pledges, just like the trade "deals" he has, nothing.

if you look at the landscape of global trade, china because of tariffs has gained substantial foothold and almost all is partners have increased trading and moved away from the US. Protectionism is dumb and has never worked.

Trump is big on claims with little follow through. Just like these cheques that will never materialize. Empty promises.

So, you believe the UAE is lying, and will investing nothing in the US over the next decade?

A quick google says UAE investments have been as low as 13%, or as high as 31% of their GDP.  At the high, the math works, if all is focused towards the US.

you think they are going to invest all of their discretionary spending towards the united states? I think they are saying what he wants them to and that there won't be anything close to that type of investing. It would be unprecedented from my knowledge for a country to devote all of their investments for 10 straight years into a foreign country. It's a little silly tbh.

They probably won't, unless my math is wrong.

Either way, if it's direction, and only, say 900B or a 1T....so?

However, your statement say it's silly to believe they will invest.  I think you even called it retarded.

So, you think they will not be investing?

what are they planning to invest in?

I think its retarded to think they would invest 3 times more than there GDP. I don't think its retarded to invest.

Do you know what the investment plan is? I don't

Per Brave AI:

The investment framework builds on existing UAE economic activity in the U.S., which already includes over $1 trillion in deployments, such as stakes in U.S. infrastructure and a majority ownership in Nasdaq-listed chipmaker GlobalFoundries.
 As part of the new framework, UAE investment fund ADQ and U.S.-based Energy Capital Partners announced a $25 billion initiative to invest in energy infrastructure and data centers.
 Additionally, the UAE’s state-owned energy company XRG, part of Abu Dhabi National Oil Co. (ADNOC), pledged support for U.S. natural gas production and exports, with further plans for investments in gas, chemicals, and low-carbon solutions.

Per CNBC:

The new framework will “substantially increase the UAE’s existing investments in the U.S. economy” in AI infrastructure, semiconductors, energy, and American manufacturing, the official told Reuters.

The official said the agreement resulted from a meeting that Trump held on Tuesday with UAE national security adviser Sheikh Tahnoon bin Zayed in the Oval Office and a dinner that Vice President JD Vance and several Cabinet members held with the UAE delegation, which included the heads of major UAE sovereign wealth funds and corporations.

Under terms of the framework, UAE investment fund ADQ, along with U.S. partner Energy Capital Partners, announced a $25 billion U.S.-focused initiative to invest in energy infrastructure and data centers, the official said.

XRG, the international investment arm of UAE state oil company ADNOC, also announced its commitment to support U.S. natural gas production and exports with an investment in the NextDecade liquefied natural gas export facility in Texas, the official said.

The companies have additional plans to make substantial investments in U.S. assets across gas, chemicals, energy infrastructure and low carbon solutions, the official said.

So, the first says they already have 1T in deployments.

Why is it retarded to think they will invest more, after UAE officials said they would?

Now, you could make a reasonable argument that the numbers in the WH list are not absolute, and subject to change and not all will happen.

But the attempt to pick one example from a list and call folks who believe the list retards, seems to have fallen short here.

Necrosis and I are able to have convo without your help prime.  We do it all the time.

Especially when you're adding nothing to it.

Regardless, in your attempt to.....well, i have no idea what you were attempting, it looks like you didn't do enough research.

lololololololololol

20 trillion haha

whats the us gdp again? you have to be a special type of guy to not realize how retarded this is.

If you're not adding to the anything related to the discussion, can you limit your TDS to one thread so it doesn't disrupt a legitimate conversation?

Add prime so he can stop doing the same.

The checks are coming.  Just not until he figures what else to try grift on first.  He has tried shoes, phones, watches, Bibles, crypto,.. even entry into heaven itself.   So he has to come up with something else to fleece his followers for this time.

   https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/ckgkl25734go                               This is adding to the conversation. trump says prices are going down stats show they aren't. Isn't that what affordability is all about.     Your post is nothing more than an unprovoked attack against me and anyone else that has an opinion that doesn't coincide with your own. And you know what they say about opinions. So when trump says gas is now 2 dollars a gallon he isn't lying. It's true because he thinks it is.

You don't have any opinions.

You have memes and youtube videos that are fed to you based on your search history.

BBC?

  WOW, I think you may be losing it. If my posts upset you so much, just don't read them. just ignore them and consider  them just the ramblings of an old lunatic who escaped a mental assylum. I'm only trying to help you escape the MAGA cult.

Nothing here upsets me.

But unfortunately this account has been tasked with attempting to save men who were once testosterone fueled real men, but have seemingly lost their way.

We want our boomers to remain worthy of lifting all the golden weights they have accumulated over the years.  We don't want to look at those who once majestically graced the hallowed covers of Muscle and Protein magazine and say "what the f happened to that guy"?

That is not to say differing opinions are not ok.

But differing opinions based on falsehoods are.

Have you watched the Social Dilemma yet?  You could take one morning off from the BBC, Youtube, and Occupy Democrats and knock it out

Bro....pot/kettle. You should stick to weightlifting history where you sort of know your stuff.
