Marcin + 519 MS November 28, 2019 (edited) The moment Trump signed anti China Hong Kong paper phase one will be anathema to Chinese authorities, they will pretend to sign it soon but it will never be signed. My analysis of required trajectory of hegemonic conflict has it calculated this way. Edited November 28, 2019 by Marcin Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Marcin + 519 MS November 28, 2019 (edited) The next moves will naturally concern embargo about the rest of important technology industries: Chinese robotnics companies and semiconductor companies , the rest is already under embargo. Any China-US deal will not be signed before November 2020 elections. China many months earlier signaled its red lines that were ignored by Trump. The fact that Trump did it under pressure of domestic politics has No particular importance for China Edited November 28, 2019 by Marcin Typo Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Trump has no wish to re-engage with China, it is the opposite. The US has prices from China the same as pre-trade war, the stock market is at record levels, manufacturing in the US is increasing whilst unemployment is falling. Why is Trump under domestic pressure? Genuinely can you please explain why you believe he is, as I must be missing something?? Are you talking about the potential impeachment? 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sir maybe I can be of assistance here - I believe the user Marcin is referring to the pressure of the House in signing this bill at all, due to the vote and its support being overwhelming, and not referencing a generic internal pressure politically. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Farming areas may be at risk in swing states such as Minnesota, Wisconsin, Iowa, and Michigan etc. There are not many farmers but the agriculture industry is large in many states. Cheap feed is good for ranchers though. Trump and congress must agree to support them so that is a conflict that might be a problem. I think that ethanol and soy additive biofuels should be encouraged but that is anathema to most on this site. Trump is not pushing it. 1 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Any ethanol is anathema to me as I own many pieces of equipment with small engines. Ethanol is disastrous to small engines. It dissolves plastic/rubber in gaskets, bladders and hoses and it destroys carburetors w/ corrosion and rust. https://blog.amsoil.com/how-to-fight-ethanol-problems-in-small-engines/ My favorite line from the linked article above is, "One solution is to use non-oxygenated, ethanol-free gas in your small engines. It costs a little more, but it eliminates problems associated with ethanol." Non-oxygenated, ethanol-free gas is what we used to gas .... gas. 1 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ronwagn + 6,290 December 4, 2019 We used to poison the entire population with leaded gasoline and did a lot of damage to their brains etc. Then we went to another very toxic chemical for higher octane and it poisoned groundwater all over the country. I imagine the same happened all over the world. My manuals say not to go above 10% ethanol. One vehicle is designed for any ethanol blend the other is not. Maybe there is a better option than ethanol to increase octane, but I never heard of it. There seems to be a lot of opinions on ethanol being bad for small engines, but not for newer vehicle engines. In the Midwest it is a problem to find anything that is not 10% ethanol or higher. I am still a proponent of ethanol for vehicles but the fuel dealers don't pass on the savings they make, or it could be the refineries not passing the savings on. Ethanol had been cheaper than gasoline. Here are today's quotes. Gasoline 1.573 +0.010 +0.64% (21 Minutes Delay) Ethanol 1.385 -0.024 -1.7% The mpg is about 10% less so no real savings at that price difference. Gasoline has gone down in price lately. I like to support our farmers, but like to save money too. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

No hard feelings man xx You don't see the connection between trade with China and the price of corn and soybeans, or just not interested. Typical city guy.
