Mr Mekong, maybe you find the time to improve your Latin once you are heading for Songkran and might not go out anyway.
it means : Any action is the same as the reaction. " par est " means it is the same. I was very good in Latin at school , it actually saved my bacclaureat against all probability.
As we seem to be heading for another bullshit-chess you are invited to respond.
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.

Every action has a reaction
" Actio par est reactioni " Sir Isaac Newton, today confirmed by Sir Bubi.
Actually Newtons Third Law of Motion is Every action has an equal and opposite reaction, not just a reaction as you misquoted

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

19 minutes ago, bust said:That's a 9% tariff difference but if Vietnamese rice is around 50% cheaper
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

but he confirmed he " could not care less "
This can’t be true, this would mean an American saying the phrase correctly.
What Americans say is “I could care less” implying that there is less to care than they actually are even thought this is not what they mean.
