Are these NAFTA negotiations something that was already supposed to happen, or were they prompted/initiated by the Trump administration? Because if it's the latter, it seems like it's an entirely self-inflicted wound.

The Trump administration wants half of the content of all North American-built autos be produced in the United States and that the regional vehicle content requirement be increased to 85 percent from 62.5 percent. A NAFTA sunset clause that would effectively trigger a renegotiation of the pact every five years. The end of the NAFTA trade dispute settlement system and the erection of new protective barriers for seasonal fruit and vegetable growers. Those are the big ones. gradenko_2000 posted:Are these NAFTA negotiations something that was already supposed to happen, or were they prompted/initiated by the Trump administration? Trump initiated the renegotiation process.

Tho my guess is we will wind up with a few trivial changes so Trump can go around talking about how his amazing deal making skills got us a good deal and NAFTA is good now.

Mexican Counteroffer Marks Tit-for-Tat Turn in Nafta Talks quote:Mexico is proposing to limit access to government contracts for U.S. firms in a sign that America’s Nafta partners are willing to strike back against what they see as hardline proposals by the Trump administration. I don't think there'll be a NAFTA 2.0 that's a copypaste with some small changes though. Mexico and Canada are holding firm to their position that what the US wants is unworkable and now Mexico is putting forward unacceptable proposals for the US negotiators.

Can't remember the article, but a while back I read U.S. demands on NAFTA as being intentionally arrogant and impossible to accommodate, almost as if they're designed to result in the breakup of the agreement. I think the author likened it to refusing to be the first to suggest divorce to a spouse, so they just become insufferable to break the marriage passive aggressively.

yeah consider this a PSA so you don’t accidentally kill someone: if you know someone diabetic and find them passed out or in a ‘daze’ then DO👏🏻NOT👏🏻GIVE👏🏻THEM👏🏻INSULIN The insulin is to help them get sugar out of their blood. if they’re sluggish it’s because they don’t have enough.

check out this sordid tale of poverty: poor, struggling families who can barely even afford the mortgages on the three houses they rent out full-time, and need the higher prices they can charge on Airbnb just to scrape by https://www.washingtonpost.com/loca...89eb_story.html quote:But a short drive away, in River Terrace in Northeast, Shaun Johnson said he can afford to stay in the city only because of the extra income he makes as an Airbnb host. Johnson regularly rents out two bedrooms and the basement in his rowhouse and describes the extra $40 or $50 a night per rental as a "godsend" in meeting his mortgage payments. quote:On Capitol Hill, which has the most short-term rentals of any neighborhood in the city, Dunnzy Levin is concerned because the proposed legislation would bar her and her husband from operating a building they own that has six units for corporate furnished rentals and short-term Airbnbs. quote:Another host concerned about the bill is Ruth Hamilton, who uses Airbnb to rent out one of two units in a rowhouse in Southwest that she and her husband own, in addition to the rowhouse where they live nearby. The Hamiltons' experience shows the financial incentive to rent through Airbnb rather than through a traditional, long-term lease. these poor unfortunate landlords, barely able to keep their second roof over their head and being unfairly squeezed by BIG HOTEL's dastardly anti-competitive regulations
