@SweetBreeze713 @pickeringenergy Who stated we would shut down all diesel exports? That is some scaremongering propaganda going around.

[ComputerSage @ComputerSageJAB]

@stadskippetje @YourAnonCentral That is a very significant amount. About to be more 👇

[ComputerSage @ComputerSageJAB]

Most, at this time but not all. What goes in USA rail lines is very significant.

The same companies also ship through Portland Bulk Terminals in Oregon. Reaching Portland requires the trains to leave the Canadian network and travel on U.S. track.

Nutrien has additionally selected Longview, Washington, for a new 5–6 million-tonne terminal aimed at China, India and Japan; when built, Nutrien’s U.S.-port volumes could roughly equal its Canadian-port volumes. https://t.co/xtmuAW2EFE

@norman_pilon @ekwufinance BBC 😂

[ComputerSage @ComputerSageJAB]

No one stated the mine in Michigan will replace all Canada potash. You seem to have reading comprehension problems.

No one ever stated we wanted to replace all of Canadian potash, you must have Halley for propaganda,

What we desire is a little less dependence on certain sources and 0.8 million times here, and 1-2 million tons over there does just fine.

[ComputerSage @ComputerSageJAB]

@jml0927 @ekwufinance Exactly.

[ComputerSage @ComputerSageJAB]

@norman_pilon @ekwufinance Maybe total for countries that read the BBC 😂

[ComputerSage @ComputerSageJAB]

@avionsunantiqu1 It will take a few weeks to get to maximum , but yes they have.

@KlaartjeZoetho2 @gdogorous @RasmusJarlov You back owe a lot of money and 2% is the extreme low end of what NATO countries should be spending. The numbers do not lie 👇

@averagejoe8675 @pickeringenergy Wow. You look like the lead from the “Joe Dirt” movie

[ComputerSage @ComputerSageJAB]

@nasjacked420 @pickeringenergy Please show your calculations on “4 weeks”. Be specific

[ComputerSage @ComputerSageJAB]

@mentionmuch @joebrusuelas I bet you rode the short bus in Europe.. if they even have them

[ComputerSage @ComputerSageJAB]

@Theyforcedmeto2 @Daractenus 😂😂

[ComputerSage @ComputerSageJAB]

@Isaac6552455468 @avionsunantiqu1 Yep. It has started and will take a couple of weeks to build up to maximum https://t.co/kGiqdXqPZC

@bansisharma Trump works 20 hours a day. He and his admin have plenty mental energy to multitask in many issues. Trump has not damaged the economy, he is repairing it.

I bet you have not read the federal reserve report/study that is at the bottom of this link 👇

[ComputerSage @ComputerSageJAB]

Those familiar with my account, know I have written a lot about tariffs. The Federal reserve released a study that virtually agrees with all of my writings since March 2025 on what will happen and how it works.

Fed research on 125,000 household transactions finds 2025 tariffs were passed through by only 15–20% to retail prices (The supply chain ate a lot). That lifted prices of the “tariff affected” goods by only 1–2%. Household behavior still cut spending on those items by about 4% (three to four times the price rise) by buying less and switching to cheaper varieties.

Most of what Americans buy is NOT in those categories. Food, energy, housing, and services have far less direct tariff exposure, so the hit to overall inflation is smaller than the 1–2% figure for exposed goods. Other Fed estimates put the contribution to core PCE in the 0.5–0.8 percentage-point range.

A tariff is a one-time cost shock, not a permanent inflation engine. Once firms pass it through, it raises the price level; it stops adding to the inflation rate unless the tariff itself is hiked again. Pass-through in 2025 was gradual and policy kept shifting, so some of the effect spilled into early 2026—but the first wave was largely baked in after that.

@bansisharma @gmandan007 Your writings are generic in non-specific. I have written hundreds of articles related to tariffs. In very specific manners to show people how they actually work. Why, coca-cola, smuckers, Home Depot, and Heinz put me on retainer April 2025.

[ComputerSage @ComputerSageJAB]

Okay assuming the tariffs on 50% of the recycled aluminum and let’s update the calculations:

A 50% tariff on aluminum imports, assuming 50% of recycled aluminum and 88% of primary aluminum are tariffed, adds approximately 0.446 cents to the cost of a soda or beer can, on a 1.5-cent aluminum cost per can.

0.446 of a penny.

But for simplicity, I left out some things that also go into the cost of producing a canned beverage that is not subject to tariffs which would dilute the cost of the tariff to overall price.

Packaging , preparation for shipping (5.0%)
Distribution: (10.0%) transportation to and from warehouses to retailers, etc..
General Business Expenses: (16.7%) across the scope of activities after customs
Retailer Markup: (37.3%) (overhead, labor, profit)

Adding these costs in the beverage will lower the aluminum costs back near the one sixth of a penny,

@MarhelmData No one is fearful of nationalization you moron

[ComputerSage @ComputerSageJAB]

@JuneGoh_Sparta In a 90-180 day , run rates would be little effected and changes in the mix of distillates produced cannot change much in such a short time period.

[ComputerSage @ComputerSageJAB]

Refiners will not cut runs you fool.

We only need a breather for 90-180 days.

We have almost historical amounts of storage available. And no, the refiners are not going to slow down refining.

Also: Refineries cannot quickly or cheaply flip from high diesel output to high gasoline (or other products). The practical flexibility is limited and slow. The percentages can only change of small percentage. Many refineries would require actual hardware modifications. Even hydrocrackers can only change maybe by 5%.

The refineries will remain running at 98%. The same amount of diesel will be produced within a percentage point of two.

Some of the same tankers that hauled diesel to other places in the world can be used to serve our west coast that imported some.

90 days is easily absorbed of diesel exports were entire banned, but I would expect it would not be a total ban , maybe half which would be easy to handle for 180 days. 90-180 days is all that is needed.

Reagan’s main campaign and governing issues were

1. Economic revival: inflation, taxes, spending, jobs
2. Military rebuild and confronting the Soviet Union
3. Smaller federal government / federalism
4. Energy production
5. Family/social issues (present, secondary on the trail)

You should take each item and let’s compare the two presidents, Reagan’s 8 years and Trumps 6 years

@ABoleynGirl @FreeTradeBryan I was, worked in the 1976, 1980 campaigns and worked in first admin.
