Hey, she's just following the orders of the bond market and the Invisible Hand, ok?

We need our favorite 21st century Italian Marxist on here pronto

It's the only offer on the table. Trump has changed the game, every country is getting tariffs. Vietnam is not willing to play hardball with their largest export market.

What products can the United States sell in Vietnam that will displace Vietnamese industries? Virtually nothing. Everything the United States makes is far too expensive or useless to be of any benefit to Vietnamese consumers, nor is American manufacturing at all a threat to Vietnamese manufacturing. The United States exports mostly agricultural products like soybeans and cotton to Vietnam, as well as some cameras and probably some computer chips. Total exports are around $10 billion (compared to Vietnamese exports to the US, ~$115 billion). So even if that doubles, that's not really doing much.

Vietnam's median income is around $9000USD. They're not buying $90k+ pickups and SUVs lol, even if their infrastructure could support cars of that size. The next step up from mopeds is a ~$5k small Chinese EV, not a giant SUV.

Yeah Williamsburg was a total blowout. The bastion of brunch libs is the Upper East Side, that went heavily to Cuomo.

But can that security detail be bought? If you're a high profile socialist, you need committed socialists as security.

I mean he's got time to build an ideologically committed security detail like right now. None of that is dependent on him being mayor.

When are the Zohran Fedayeen sign ups coming for New Yorkers? Only somewhat kidding.

If armed socialists in the United States got into a full confrontation with ICE I think you'd know because this site would probably be shut down by the FBI lol
