Some countries are caving to US on war. Some on trade. VN was threatened with 46% tariffs. The 40% transhipment rate is something easily avoided. I doubt VN will import more from US. VN making a deal can still provide best value apparel to US
It would be delusional for any US car company to invest in dealership/repair network for Vietnam. China is next door to them, and they have good trade relations with them. Better value cars, and they also make high end SUVs.
I don't get it.

The $3.4T deficit increase projection, $340B/year is on top of the $1.9T projected deficit for 2025 prior to bill. The projected deficit for FY2035 is $2.7T. This is before golden dome, and other warmongering/Israel funding. 2025 and 2035 numbers are both about 6.1% of GDP.
GOP talking points have include the fantasy of growing at 3% (instead of 1.9%) annually to pay for the $340B/year increase, but at 6.1% deficit/GDP ratio, total debt increases as long as nominal GDP doesn't grow above 6.1%. Cutting healthcare, and population through deportations won't cause growth.
I think we're past the point of the car hitting the wall even if we brake, and the damage ruining your day. We're not past the point that braking will save lives or even make the car unrepairable.
every tipping point is just an arbitrary line that climate scientists draw to try to draw people’s attention to the problem
The +1.5C threshold is a somewhat arbitrary line designed around tipping points. The tipping points themselves are not imaginary/arbitrary. Forest fire spread increase. Methane defrosting. Polar melting path certainty. All of these increase GHGs and warming. Hurricane intensity+drought+intense rainfall events destroying property values is somewhat of an economic tipping point starting to affect some right now.
The actual problem is democratic oligarchism/zionism/neocon warmongering/US colonialism. Protecting establishment is easily supported when higher priorities than human sustainability can be manufactured. The more miserable you are made, the less you care about "higher level Maslow hierarchy needs" at political level.
“Andrew Cuomo, during the primary, attacked Mamdani as being insufficiently pro-Israel.
The most expensive primaries in US history were in 2024 where zionist supremacists/AIPAC funded DNC opponents to those insufficiently submissive to zionist first rule over America. The only successful attack campaigns were those that never mentioned Israel supremacy as an issue. Only other issues.
The Green party can win with 0 money by saying all Israel first loyalty oaths by politicians invalidate their citizenship and right to office. The DNC simply doesn't want to win. Like Chuck Schumer admission, the DNC exists to gaslight the left into being pro Israel. Fundraising is always nice, but winning is not the most pro Israel result.
