Former friends snap back at Trump already

Still interesting to watch.

They clearly enjoy the animosity. They really do get off on annoying and alienating others. I keep seeing them say how much they like it.

I'm going to sniff around for the psychology of that. Another group pathology.

Look in a mirror, dude. You're here hate-posting everyday against us "garbage".
 
You don't mind the warpage seen with the faster growing and more brittle texture of southern yellow pines? I know, I was not impressed as a buyer for a millwork wholesaler. I like it for treated lumber, though, just fine, though have to look through, dealing with knots and knowing where I would be using it. Interesting. What part of the building industry were you involved in, and at what level?
Im not. I simply dont care.

We dont need them.
 
Our former friends and allies are already pulling away, and he's not even back in office yet.

Trump's "you need us more than we need you, so nyah nyah nyah" foreign policy is going over great so far.

No doubt the groupies love this, since we'll have to cozy up to autocrats Putin and Orban.

Mexico warns Trump tariffs would kill 400,000 US jobs, threatens retaliation
Canadian officials blast Trump’s tariff threat and one calls Mexico comparison an insult
For them, the adolescent impulse to celebrate Baby Donald's scatter brained ruminations on all manner of policy issues is too self indulgent to resist. Like giggling at the tears of women who consider the possibility of not being able to obtain family planning services if they have an unwanted pregnancy. I wonder how many women will die unnecessarily due to trump, his court, and Repub controlled legislatures?

See post 59.
 
So most is domestic. Thank you.

🤷‍♂️

Plus we can use alternative materials to wood to build homes and decks. We don’t need Canada. They need us.
TBH? It really appears that tariffs on Canadian lumber were in the offing, regardless of whether Trump won or not.

They subsidize their industry, which gives them unfair advantage.


We see a lot of lefties and free trade advocates in a tizzy about this issue, but they don't seem to mind when foreign governments subsidize or take advantage of the working populations of their nations with substandard pay and working conditions.

". . Response to the results was mixed. The U.S. Lumber Coalition, an alliance of American softwood lumber producers, was happy.

“The duties simply offset the subsidies that Canadian producers receive from their governments and the Canadian producers’ unfair trade practices,” said Andrew Miller, group chairman and CEO of Stimson Lumber. “but they are essential to facilitate free and fair trade, giving U.S. businesses a shot to compete on a level playing field.”

The National Assn. of Home Builders said it was “disappointed,” primarily because of the tariffs’ perceived detriment to affordable housing.

“For years, NAHB has been leading the fight against lumber tariffs because of their detrimental effect on housing affordability,” it said. “In effect, the lumber tariffs act as a tax on American builders, home buyers and consumers. With housing affordability already near a historic low, NAHB continues to call on the Biden administration to suspend tariffs on Canadian lumber imports into the United States and to move immediately to enter into negotiations with Canada on a new softwood lumber agreement that will eliminate tariffs altogether.”

Canada also wasn’t happy, as expected. . . "
 
Thanks Jan

You mean Jen...

And just like that, trumpsters turn into war mongers :lol:
His base always was.

It was a brilliant strategy, appeal to moderates and independents, throw a few of those in the cabinet for national issues, and then revert back to neo-cons for the rest.

Untrue. Did JoeB tell you this? Canada needs us a lot more than we need Canada.

Southern yellow pine (SYP) consists of four major species: loblolly, slash, longleaf and shortleaf. They grow abundantly throughout the 13 southern states. In fact, over 15 billion board feet of lumber are produced every year when the economy is strong. Some of the growing sites have been harvested five times over the past 200 years. The soil nutrients are in the needles and small twigs, so soil depletion is not an issue when logging these lands, as long as the small items are returned to the site and soil.

This fast-growing species produces some of the strongest wood in North America. Structural uses, such as roof trusses and decking, are the more common uses for this wood. Estimates are that over 60 percent of the SYP lumber is treated to resist decay and is then used outdoors, where it will last for centuries. Due to SYP’s high weight and difficulty nailing, some of the lighter weight Canadian species (spruce and fir) are preferred for 2x4 and 2x6 studs for house walls.


Use what you like. We use what we like.
