Actually my Latin is Melius Quam Mediocris, and I fully understand what Actio par est reactioni means but that is not what Sir Isaac Newton said. If you want to say it in Latin it would read Omnis actio, aequalis et contrarian est reactio Einstein didn’t say E= MC Hammer did he, MLK didn’t say I have a Fantasy and Rene Descsartes did t say ai think therefore I maybe. If yo are going to attribute a quote to someone at least get it right, if one applied “Action Equals Reaction” to basic Engineering principle the results would be unknown. But knowing for Equilibrium that there have to be equal and opposite forces, and in order to let’s say launch a 1 Tonne Rocket a force of greater than 1,000 kg thrust is required. Expectantes respondum uestrum

Actually Newtons Third Law of Motion is Every action has an equal and opposite reaction, not just a reaction as you misquoted

Why own goal? Pointing out that someone is stating the obvious isn’t stating the obvious

And today’s prize for stating the obvious goes to. ……

I’ll say one thing about the Tariffs, Penguins etc, it’s taken all the attention off the Signals leak

And as I said Chukiat Opaswong is talking out of his fucking arse The $600-700 per tonne isn’t realistic pre tariff is is $597 per tonne so after tariff it will be $877 per tonne Take a Produce call it product (a) Vietnam sells for $1000 Thailand sells for $2000 After tariff Vietnam $1470 Thailand $2740 The price delta has fallen from 2:1 to 1.86:1, whilst still more expensive it is more competitive than previous. What Khun Opaswong is referring to is the situation whereby Vietnam negotiate a tariff of Zero percent with USA, he is basically complaining about something which hasn’t happened

Correct it was cheaper both pre and post tariff but using the figures taken from the internet Comparison Pre Tariff Thai Rice $425 per tonne Viet Rice $397 per tonne Difference $28 Post Tariff Thai Rice 37% tariff $425 x 1.37 = $582.25 per tonne Viet Rice 47% tariff $397 x 1.47 = $583.59 per tonne Difference $1.34 So before the tariff Thai rice was 7% more expensive (where did you get 50% from)and post tariff less than 0.25% more expensive.So Thai rice has become MORE competitive not LESS and I don’t understand what Chukiat Opaswong is complaining about

# So Vietnamese rice is cheaper pre tariff than post tariff, Thailand will be better off not worse off AFAIK Price of Vietnamese rice has not been decreased because of tariffs

Well Chukiat Opaswong is talking out of his fucking arse since Vietnam (46%) has been hit with a higher tariff than Thailand (37%) so Thai rice exports will be cheaper than Vietnam not more expensive. You need to look at both parts of the equation before trying to con another Shinawatra into a rice buying scam. Poor little Paetongtarm still believing tariffs applied are based on countries tariffs and not trade deficit, if only she had read my idiots guide to the idiots tariffs posted yesterday she would understand a little better, you would expect the PM of a country to have some understanding on a topic before commenting on such

Whilst no economist myself, it is pretty clear where Trump has fucked up his calculations, he is basing Tariffs on trade deficit., the n dividing deficit by US Exports and splitting the difference it is Trade deficit / imports is what the US says the other country charges as a tariff. eg China US exports $145b and imports $440b , so deficit is $295b 295 / 440 =0.67 or 67% split the difference by halving it 33.5 and rounding up 34 and the tariff imposed on China is 34% Likewise EU, $370.2B Exports Imports $605.8b, deficit $235.6b 235.6 / 605.8 =0.389 or 39% divided by two and rounded up gives 20% which is the tariff imposed on EU. I used to think that Trump wasn’t the sharpest knife in the drawer, but hit proves that he is a complete imbecile

Why don’t you just say what the fuck you mean instead of being cryptic, or is that your way of saying that to don’t have a clue what you are on about
