On Sunday, President Donald Trump announced that he will authorize the Department of Commerce and the United States Trade Representative to institute a 100% tariff on movies produced in foreign countries. “Other Countries are offering all sorts of incentives to draw our filmmakers and studios away from the United States. Hollywood, and many other areas within the U.S.A., are being devastated. This is a concerted effort by other Nations and, therefore, a National Security threat.

The business owner from Guangzhou Province said his orders from the United States “evaporated” as the levies escalated. Li is not alone. Most Chinese exporters are in the same boat. On social media platforms in China, they discuss their dilemma. A few said they were immune from the impact of U.S. tariffs owing to their irreplaceable products. These exporters reported that U.S. orders formed the majority of their business—and were the most lucrative. Without the American market, no other region, including Europe, can fill the void. Beijing will have trouble backing down from its standoff with the United States, he said, because Chinese Communist Party leader Xi Jinping “has clearly created his whole persona around being the leader who can stand up to America.” Given the irreplaceable nature of the U.S. consumer market in China's export-driven economy, Martin said, Beijing will “have to make a deal at some point, or this recession does turn into a depression.” The Chinese regime can probably keep exporters afloat for about six months to a year if it doesn't resolve the trade war with the United States, Lee projected.  Since then, total additional U.S. tariffs have risen to 145 percent. Li's 100-employee small business used to earn a monthly revenue of more than 1 million yuan   Another way to avoid tariffs is transshipment—sending products to a third country before they're shipped to the United States. However, that has also become more difficult. For those who want to establish a facility in Vietnam, the production capacity there is small compared to China's capacity, the manufacturers said. In addition, the United States has applied a universal 10 percent tariff that is in place for the usual transshipment hubs, including Vietnam and Cambodia. Social unrest due to the lack of jobs will be another sign of China entering a depression, according to Yeh.

US President Donald Trump said on Sunday that he is authorizing to immediately begin the process of instituting a 100 percent tariff on all movies "produced in Foreign Lands."In a post on his Truth Social platform, Trump wrote, "The Movie Industry in America is DYING a very fast death.""Other Countries are offering all sorts of incentives to draw our filmmakers and studios away from the United States. Hollywood, and many other areas within the USA., are being devastated," Trump said in the post, calling the situation "a National Security threat.""Therefore, I am authorizing the Department of Commerce, and the United States Trade Representative, to immediately begin the process of instituting a 100 percent Tariff on any and all Movies coming into our Country that are produced in Foreign Lands. we WANT MOVIES MADE IN AMERICA, AGAIN!" he added.Trump's announcement caused a stir nationwide, especially in the film industry. The Hollywood Reporter, a major Hollywood industry magazine, wrote that it "could shake up the entertainment industry.""There are a number of expensive tentpoles due out in the coming months that filmed overseas. Would they be grandfathered in via a grace period or hit with a tariff?" the news outlet asked.Variety, another major industry news outlet, also said that it's "a move that sent shockwaves through Hollywood.""Studio executives convened emergency calls after Trump issued his declaration, though there is enormous uncertainty about whether the president has the authority to institute these tariffs, as well as how they would work practically," Variety reported. "It was also unclear what the impact would be on the many films that shoot overseas.""Trump has complained about trade deficits as he has imposed tariffs on other countries, but the movie industry has been a bright spot," said Deadline, a premier publication for Hollywood business, adding that the industry generated a positive balance of trade in every major market in the world, with exports 3.1 times that of imports."Other countries also could respond to the 100 percent tariff with their own duties on US films, which would have an impact on international box office returns, which are a huge chunk of major studio revenue," the news outlet warned.

They also discuss ideas like charter cities, high-speed rail, and a government-run real estate platform.If you have any questions, comments, or suggestions for Gene, please email him at contact@economicsexplored.com.About Owen MillerOwen Miller grew up in Sydney and has long been interested in science fiction, ultimately leading to the study of mechatronics (robotics & control systems) and computer science at the University of Sydney.After working in different software roles in Sydney and even dealing Blackjack for some months, Owen moved to Seattle to work on the recommender systems at Amazon. Owen later moved to New York and was involved in smaller startups, especially in hospitality. Although the start-ups didn't take off, this rite of passage involved less shielding from the real world and helped clarify the roles of the market and the state in the provision of essential aspects of life, such as software and social cooperation.In 2020, Owen started the Non-Human Party; a vision for an opt-in online nationality that would optimise the existence of robots and animals, in addition to humans.Upon moving to Melbourne in 2022, Owen became the Registered Officer of Fusion, with the hope of enabling Australia to reach its full potential as a wealthy, sustainable and harmonious paradise; a beacon for the rest of the world.

The government and the people and the enterprises are working really hard to get people to come here and try out this country. Take the risk on Vietnam. It's fun, it's exciting.  It's relatively inexpensive enough for you to start a business, and if it fails, you can try again. It's not a big deal. If you want to move your family here, the schools are great, and if it doesn't work out, you can go back to your country.  But I think now is a great time, because the next 10 years, there'll be a lot of economic growth and opportunities for you to take a risk and a chance on Vietnam

Shaye Wanner invites Brian Reisinger, author of the book "Land Rich, Cash Poor," to shed light on the complex factors that have influenced why the number of farms and ranches in America has changed over the past century.  Through Brian's poignant storytelling and personal anecdotes, you'll gain a newfound appreciation for the resilience and perseverance that have become hallmarks of farm families across generations. From the hardships of the Great Depression to the harrowing farm crisis of the 1980s, and the more recent disruptions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, this engaging dialogue offers a rare glimpse into the untold struggles and triumphs that have defined the American farming experience. As you immerse yourself in this compelling narrative, you'll uncover: - The profound impact of rural population shifts on the viability of agricultural communities - The double-edged sword of technological innovation, empowering some farms while leaving others behind - The consequences of policy decisions focused solely on cheap food, often at the expense of farm sustainability - The vulnerability of our food supply chain, exposed by the COVID-19 pandemic, and the need for greater resilience - Lessons from global agricultural models and practices that could inform a more sustainable future 00:00:00 Exploring Changes in Rural America Through the Lens of History 00:03:14 Embracing Roots and Writing a Family Story 00:05:00 Bridging the Rural-Urban Divide for Awareness 00:06:34 Unveiling the Untold History of American Farmers 00:09:35 Transition Planning and Farm Succession Challenges 00:12:30 Factors Affecting Family Farms 00:13:12 Population Shift from Rural to Urban Areas 00:15:55 Balancing Rural and Urban Opportunities 00:17:48 Importance of Technology in Agriculture 00:17:54 The Impact of Technology on Farming 00:21:20 Diverse Avenues to Farm Success 00:22:16 Understanding 'Land Rich, Cash Poor' 00:22:57 The Influence of Government Policies 00:27:36 Importance of Understanding Farming Challenges 00:28:19 Challenges in the Food Economy During COVID 00:31:37 Comparison with Other Countries' Agricultural Models 00:34:23 Historical Hardships Faced by Farm Families 00:37:43 Resilience of Farm Families Across Generations 00:38:03 Book Promotion and Launch Details Brian's Book: https://linktr.ee/brianreisinger  Podcast Coaching: https://www.casualcattleconversations.com/podcast-coaching RancherMinds: https://www.casualcattleconversations.com/ranchermind-events

In this episode, Dave shows 10 ways you can reduce stupid PPC Spend and maximise efficiency just in time for Prime Day.  Today's episode is sponsored by Clearco, a company that provides ecommerce businesses with working capital to fund inventory, marketing, shipping and logistics, and more! Check them out today!  Prime Day 2023 saw people spend up to $12.9bn alone.  Obviously, everyone wants a piece of the pie. You can expect competitors to increase their ad spend 2x or even 3x more just for the possibility of more sales. To prepare for this year's Prime Day, there are some ways you can maximise the efficiency of your ad spend. However what these sellers fail to notice is that it's all about maximising efficiency of your running ads.  That's why my partner-in-crime, Dave Bryant, is on the podcast today to talk about the 10 ways you can maximise your efficiency and reduce ad spend. Timestamps 00:00 - Introduction and Sponsor 01:28 - Topic: Reducing PPC Spend on Amazon 03:51 - Optimizing Targeting Options in Auto Campaigns 05:16 - Optimizing Targeting Options in Manual Campaigns 07:37 - Using Dynamic Bids Down Only and Avoiding Broad Match 10:30 - Avoiding Ads in Other Countries and Turning Off Sponsored Display 13:52 - Unclicking Expanded Product Targeting and Using Exact Match 17:44 - Conclusion and Call to Action The Big Takeaways Increasing conversion rates can lower ad costs and improve ROAS. Turn off loose match targeting in auto campaigns and optimize targeting options in manual campaigns. Use dynamic bids down only and be cautious with broad match keywords. Don't let Amazon set up ads in other countries and consider turning off sponsored display campaigns. Lowering prices may be a better option than increasing PPC to improve profitability.

He has now co-founded the Too Fly Foundation which helps students from under-privileged backgrounds access experiences like study abroad programs, as he recognised how valuable and life-changing they are.

Beth Brooke joins to discuss the need for gender-inclusive vehicle safety standards. Takeaways Vehicle safety standards are designed with the male body in mind, leaving women at a higher risk of severe injury or death in car accidents. Using a biofidelic female crash test dummy that accurately represents the female body's physiology can improve vehicle safety for women. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) has the power to implement this change with a simple rule change. Raising awareness and advocating for gender equity in vehicle safety is crucial to driving change. Chapters Introduction and Background Vehicle Safety Standards Designed for Men The Need for Gender-Inclusive Safety Standards Proposed Solution: Biofidelic Female Crash Test Dummy Implementation and Cost Considerations The Impact of Vehicle Weight and Electric Vehicles The Role of NHTSA and Government Regulations The Importance of Awareness and Consumer Advocacy Focus on New Vehicles and Future Considerations Learning from Other Countries' Approaches Evaluation and Approval of Crash Test Dummies Addressing Discrimination in Safety Standards Engaging Stakeholders and Building Trust Recognizing Nuance and Finding Common Ground Call to Action: Join Verity Now and Raise Awareness Links Show notes: http://brandonbartneck.com/futureofmobility/bethbrooke https://www.veritynow.org/ Bio: Beth A. Brooke retired as the Global Vice-Chair – Public Policy at EY and a member of the firm's Global Executive Board. Ms. Brooke had public policy responsibility for the firm's operations in over 150 countries and was the global sponsor for EY's Diversity and Inclusiveness efforts. During the Clinton Administration, she worked in the U.S. Department of the Treasury, where she was responsible for all tax policy matters related to insurance and managed care. She played important roles in the healthcare reform and Superfund reform efforts. Ms. Brooke is a prominent voice around the world on Diversity and Inclusion, including most prominently on LGBT inclusion and women. She has been named eleven times to the list of Forbes “World's 100 Most Powerful Women“. In 2017, she received the Theodore Roosevelt Award, the top individual honor bestowed by the U.S. National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA). She has also been inducted into the Indiana Basketball Hall of Fame Company description: VERITY (Vehicle Equity Rules in Transportation) NOW strives to achieve equality in vehicle safety by educating on, and advocating for, crash testing standards that protect every body, regardless of gender, height, weight or age. Inherent biases in crash testing put women, young people, the elderly and heavier body types at significantly higher risk of injury or death in car crashes. This is unacceptable. We need to update vehicle crash testing standards and practices to better understand the safety needs of a broader range of body types. Technologies exist that can give us a more accurate understanding of how all vehicle occupants are impacted in a crash. These technologies, which employ sensors and other advanced tools, create better data – which can lead to better designs that account for every body.

The pharmaceutical industry is one of the most opaque industries in America, and they take advantage of this lack of transparency by setting ever-higher prices for lifesaving prescription drugs like insulin. But provisions in the Inflation Reduction Act are curtailing the exorbitant price-gouging strategies that the pharmaceutical industry uses to pump up their profit margins at the expense of seniors and people with disabilities who use Medicare. This week, we're talking to Margarida Jorge, the Executive Director of Health Care for America Now, to help us understand more about drug pricing and the impact that drug price negotiations will have on Medicare and its recipients.  We apologize for the background noise you hear during this episode. We strive to provide you with the best possible audio quality, but sometimes, external factors (like construction nearby) are beyond our control. Margarida Jorge is the Executive Director of Health Care for America Now. She has been a prominent advocate for affordable and accessible healthcare for three decades, and she was the chief architect of the 47-state field program that helped win the Affordable Care Act under President Obama. Margarida has played a key role in shaping healthcare policy and has been instrumental in shaping policy discussions, advocating for reforms that prioritize the needs of patients over the profits of pharmaceutical companies, lowering drug prices, and ensuring access to life-saving medications for all.  Twitter: @MargaridaJorg17 Health Care for America Now: https://www.healthcareforamericanow.org Lower Drug Prices Now: https://www.lowerdrugpricesnow.org Explaining the Prescription Drug Provisions in the Inflation Reduction Act: https://www.kff.org/medicare/issue-brief/explaining-the-prescription-drug-provisions-in-the-inflation-reduction-act/#bullet01 Big Drug Companies Are in Court to Stop Medicare Negotiation and Protect Their Sky-High Profits: https://www.protectourcare.org/big-drug-companies-are-in-court-to-stop-medicare-negotiation-and-protect-their-sky-high-profits How Prices for the First 10 Drugs Up for U.S. Medicare Price Negotiations Compare Internationally: https://www.commonwealthfund.org/publications/2024/jan/how-prices-first-10-drugs-medicare-negotiations-compare-internationally Drug Companies Continue To Hike Prices Above Inflation: https://www.americanprogress.org/article/drug-companies-continue-to-hike-prices-above-inflation  U.S. Prescription Drug Prices Are 2.56 Times Those in Other Countries: https://www.rand.org/pubs/research_reports/RR2956.html  Website: http://pitchforkeconomics.com Twitter: @PitchforkEcon Instagram: @pitchforkeconomics Nick's twitter: @NickHanauer

Ever wonder why India is emerging as the new frontier in e-commerce and Amazon product sourcing? We welcomed seasoned sourcing expert, Lokesh Parashar, to shed light on this trend. Lokesh, with his 30 years of experience, unraveled the vast opportunities, potential returns, and occasional hurdles when sourcing from India. One key takeaway from Lokesh was the value of investing not only in the product but also in the community by actively participating in events and fostering relationships within the e-commerce sphere. Taking a closer look at the sourcing landscape, he shares his experience on how he made a remarkable transition from factory owner to supplying giants like Walmart. The challenges confronted after the 9/11 tragedy, his move to Canada and subsequent return to India due to his wife's medical condition, and his eventual venture into sourcing for small businesses added a deeply personal touch to his fascinating journey. His takeaway was clear: opening his own US-based company makes financial transactions smoother and can even open doors to becoming one of the largest consulting firms connecting Indian factories and the US. We couldn't leave the topic of sourcing without comparing India and China. Factors like pricing, quality, business support, and even labor costs were laid on the table. We discovered that while China has an edge in infrastructure and logistics, India isn't far behind catching up. We also underlined the importance of building personal relationships with factory owners and taking the time to visit these countries. Finally, an engaging discussion about the importance of creating a federation for sourcing agents in India and how their unique program lets Amazon FBA business owners get an Indian sourcing trip with just $999 all-in. Come join us on this journey, and who knows, you might just uncover your next big business opportunity.

Mister Kalinowski is neither employed by AFA nor does he receive any compensation from AFA -- not even the expensive gift basket that comes with those fancy nuts. El señor Kalinowski does not offer investment advice. Nevertheless should you torture a statement by him into taking on the form of advice, or perhaps the shape of a suggestion -- let's even say a contortion resembling a hint -- AND then act on le monsieur Kalinowski's 'recommendations'?  Well, YOU WILL LOSE MONEY! Even if you do the opposite of o senhor Kalinowski's 'advice' you will ALSO lose money -- it is some kind of a paradox (both the National Aeronautics and Space Administration and Securities and Exchange Commission are investigating). The Kalinowski's only guidance is that you do not listen to him for any purpose other than deep, rapid eye movement sleep.

On December 14th, 2012, twenty children and six adults were murdered by 20-year-old Adam Lanza at Sandy Hook Elementary. In the aftermath of the tragedy, law enforcement and politicians tried to help explain what occurred and why, but as with all breaking news stories, details were reported without confirmation. As a result, a movement of emotional manipulation and political agenda formed. Almost a decade after the school massacre, right-wing conspiracy theorist Alex Jones has been found guilty of promoting misinformation and forced to pay the victims for his spread of conspiracy theories and disinformation. Still, researchers of conspiratorial ideologies state that the damage has already been done and that the plague of conspiracy theory will only continue to grow. Today's episode explores why Sandy Hook Elementary School has become America's most iconic conspiracy theory.
