China is ordering its airlines to stop deliveries of all Boeing planes.
-gonna be more layoffs at Boeing soon. The company has been in trouble for the past few years with numerous issues with the 737 MAX plane.
-from the article.
Shares of Boeing fell Tuesday following a report that China has halted the delivery of all its jets to airlines in the country as part of an escalating trade war that has enveloped the world’s two biggest economies.
Boeing (BA), a component of the Dow Jones Industrial Average, fell in early trading after a Bloomberg report that Chinese authorities had ordered its airlines not to take any further Boeing deliveries. Shares were down 1% by midday.
Neither Chinese authorities, Boeing nor the White House immediately responded to CNN requests for comment on the report, although President Donald Trump said in a social media post Tuesday that China “just reneged on the big Boeing deal, saying that they will ‘not take possession of fully committed to aircraft.”

Cheeto wants to tax Harvard University because school officials will not let Orange Turd dictate its hiring policies nor follow his other demands. Wow!
-not to mention the freezing of $2.2 billion US in federal funding to Harvard.
More on the freezing of funds: The Trump administration has threatened numerous colleges across the US with funding cuts if changes in school policy weren’t made, and Harvard’s move appears to mark the first time an elite university has rebuked the White House over those demands.
Among the mandates in the administration’s letter are the elimination of Harvard’s diversity, equity and inclusion programs, banning masks at campus protests, merit-based hiring and admissions reforms and reducing the power held by faculty and administrators “more committed to activism than scholarship.”
“Perhaps Harvard should lose its Tax Exempt Status and be Taxed as a Political Entity if it keeps pushing political, ideological, and terrorist inspired/supporting ‘Sickness?’ Remember, Tax Exempt Status is totally contingent on acting in the PUBLIC INTEREST!” Trump posted on Truth Social.

It really takes a tremendous amount of courage and integrity for Harvard to stand up to the Orange Dictator like that. I hope they'd be able to recoup enough of it back through donations and other fund raising campaigns?

Good for Harvard for standing up - hopefully other private universities can do the same.

Man, remember the good old days of this administration? It feels like forever ago that we had a national security crisis where all of Trump's top people were in an unsecured group chat discussing bombing missions to Yemen and they invited a journalist into the chat.
A bunch of people must have lost their jobs and been charged with national security crimes. Right?

A friend of mine who spent a decade in the marines said if anyone in the ranks back then would have made such an egregious error like that, they would have spent a minimum of 5 years in prison to go along with their dishonourable discharge.

Hong Kong CNN —
Hong Kong’s postal service will stop handling packages coming from or going to the United States, in the latest retaliatory move amid an escalating trade war between Washington and Beijing.
In a statement published Wednesday announcing the decision, the government of Hong Kong cited US President Donald Trump’s decision last week to eliminate the so-called de minimis exception for items posted from the city to the US. The exemption applied to international shipments worth $800 or less entering the US.

I had no idea the 145% tariff also applied to Hong Kong. Considering they have (had) a free trade agreement with the US, it is a bit absurd to call it "reciprocal".
I feel more and more bad for the people who made complete assholes out of themselves earlier in this thread on election night. How embarrassing this is turning out for you guys.

I had dinner with an old friend of mine last weekend. He's MAGA and is loving everything that Trump is doing.
(Yes, he's virtually unemployed and alone in a basement but a decent guy).

Kind of what I was thinking along those lines ... skinny, no need to extend your empathy to those who voted Trump because of how things are turning out ... they don't want it or still drinking the koolaid.

How embarrassing this is turning out for you guys. | Pretty much none of these are reciprocal. He's taking trade deficits and labeling them tariffs or subsidies, any Country where they buy less then they sell is a villain in his eyes. It's like no shit Rump, only two Countries have a population larger than yours, you consume more than any other Country yet you expect Countries with a fraction of your population to import the same as they export?
This has all been a grift for taxing dumb Americans from the start and the MAGA crew is eating it up like fat kids on smarties.

Supporting the endless list of horrible stuff Trump has done seems pretty far from decent but that's just me.

Dad whose child died of measles blames "left wing media" for the death of their child.
I don't have sympathy for these people.

I mean they're just following a pattern... couldn't possibly be themselves failing so it HAS to be someone else causing them to fail. Admitting otherwise would mean giving in to the idea that maybe they've been living a lie.

I still can't get over that we collectively forgot and walked away from the pump and dump crypto coin scheme Trump and Melania rolled out to the tune of hundreds of millions of dollars right before his inauguration. https://finance.yahoo.com/news/melan...000147344.html
The sell off has now occurred on Melania's shitcoin, effectively displaying open bribery in plain sight. Hundreds of millions were made off these coins, untracked bribery to the Trump family, and yet we've completely moved on from this story.
Million dollar plates for the Saudi backed LIV Tournament held at Mar-a-Lago earlier this month: https://www.nytimes.com/2025/04/05/u...audi-golf.html
Another story lost into the ether of completely unhinged levels of corruption.
The fact that these things are so far down the list of public attention at this point has told me the US as a democratic state is completely cooked.
We've long moved past the goal line at this point, oligarchy has been embraced, public ethics and standards no longer exists.
It's heartbreaking man. I had such high hopes for the future, historians were correct when they said things could slide quickly if people didn't pay attention, now it's too late.

Damn, I feel like a peasant in Vancouver.
