Current soy volumes being shipped do not yet reflect the effects of the new trade war, the analysts said. They believe an escalation will direct more Chinese demand to Brazil over time, as was the case in 2018.

its cool that we are selling predominantly to china instead of the us now, but id rather our big farm leech oligarchy would plant shit for US to eat instead of exporting soy tax-free (because of their aggressive lobbying).
fuck capitalism and fuck the oligarch families starving us for 500 years. we desperately need land reform and redistribution.
i literally never tasted the world-class brazilian coffee, just the (pricey) garbage grains leftover after the gringos get it. most of us can't even afford the beef we are also famous for anymore...
Wow there Xi, just because you have laid claims to a sovereign nation, does not mean that people outside China, like me, are all on board with it. People with at least two brain cells generally don't support annexation of Canada, Greenland, Palestine, Ukraine, etc, same thing applies to Taiwan.
The fact that this made you aggressive goes to show that you're fucked in the head
Canadian company in negotiations with Trump to mine seabed
A Canadian deep-sea mining firm has revealed it has been negotiating with the Trump administration to bypass a UN treaty and potentially gain authorisation from the US to mine in international waters.
The revelation has stunned environmentalists, who condemned the move as “reckless” and a “slap in the face for multilateralism”.
In a statement on its website on Thursday, Gerard Barron, chief executive of The Metals Company (TMC), said: “We believe we have sufficient knowledge to get started and prove we can manage environmental risks.
“What we need is a regulator with a robust regulatory regime, and who is willing to give our application a fair hearing. That’s why we’ve formally initiated the process of applying for licences and permits under the existing US seabed mining code.”

No one really even knows who JD vance or Usha are. But I guess they'd like her, they like rishi sunak. Being rich is seen as a virtue. There's also a weird obsession with seeing indians in powerful positions, some sort repressed complex.
She's fine with the racism because "she's one of the good ones". She and vance are neoliberalists, opportunists. Watch them try and make as much money as they can before they get kicked out.

in reply to N0body • • •I'm in another country and not speaking about Indians in particular, but my family have been immigrants.
One thing I observed is that immigrants tend to have a stronger anti-immigration stance than other demographics.
I think it's one part shame. You worked hard and now you feel superior to the "fresh off the boat" person you once were and (by extension) to all those new immigrants.
One part it's that inside, we all have these shitty feelings toward other people but, as immigrants ourselves, we feel legitimised to express them openly because hey, that can't be racist if you're talking of your own ethnicity, right?
And then of course,in many places immigrants tend to be pigeonholed into specific types of jobs, so more immigrants not from your family = more competition. But that is not for the Usha Vance types who made it close to the top.
I see that dynamic being actively exploited for politics everywhere. The lesbian leader of the neonazi AfD in Germany, for instance. "I can't be racist, I have an Indian wife" is just not true. You can and the Indian wife can be too.

Story time: I was getting a lift from a local on his boat, when we passed a small dingy out in the middle of nowhere. The two Greenlanders (a mother and son) in the dingy waved us over to show us all the salmon and cod they had caught. Then they refused to let us leave, before giving us half of their fishy riches. The mother told us "if you had a giant apple tree in your garden, wouldn't you share the apples with all your townsfolk".
I fucking love Greenland and their people.
