zato sto su prekinuli ugovor sa Amazonom, kakve veze ima UPS sa tarifama?

Pretpostavljam da je Amazon izgradio svoju distribuciju, da im UPS ne treba vise. Amazon je bio 12% njihovog poslovanja. A to je verovatno ni 5% njihovih zaposlenih.

Ramifications of USAID Termination 

 

Global Impacts 

The termination of USAID and the halt on foreign assistance have already begun to have negative global outcomes. In regards to medical care, the lack of funding for the PEPFAR program has triggered a suspension of medicine distribution and the closure of clinics throughout Africa, with the United Nations Program on HIV and AIDS estimating that almost 3,000 preventable HIV infections have since occurred. Similarly, the lack of adequate funding has left many clinics defunct, with officials in the Democratic Republic of Congo unable to afford air conditioning to keep necessary medicines cold. Furthermore, Syria has seen the firing of over 150 medical officials along with the cessation of 10 crucial clinics in one of the country’s most dire regions. Similar risks are faced with numerous diseases, such as tuberculosis. Without adequate funding, clinics and NGOs can no longer afford to test for or treat TB patients, nor can they maintain the staff necessary to carry out these actions. Since TB is an airborne illness, its spread is not confined to one particular area, meaning it can quickly become a much larger issue, thus making its impact even greater. 

This halt in assistance will also likely contribute to greater global inequality, where organizations that promote education, women’s and LGBTQ+ rights, and refugee assistance will likely face large funding gaps and be unable to achieve their goals. 

 

Geopolitical Impacts

Though many argue that USAID projects are often antithetical to the country’s national interests, the reality is that the agency allows the United States to create long-lasting, positive relations with partnering countries while preventing the extension of influence from its adversaries. Ceasing funds abruptly means that affected communities and US relations are both at risk. By turning away from foreign aid, other countries will step in to fill these funding gaps. However, by doing so, these countries can exert soft power, challenging the US hegemony. Efforts are already being made by China, which has begun to fund projects in former USAID recipient regions. Funding issues aside, this rapid change to foreign aid distribution may also reduce global trust in the US as countries question the nation’s ability to follow through on projects. This distrust could further weaken America’s diplomatic relations with both former USAID recipient countries and with new countries in the future. In short, by cutting funding, diplomatic relations are strained, and a space for competing hegemonic powers is opened. 

 

Domestic Impact 

While cutting USAID primarily impacts countries abroad, this termination of funding also carries domestic ramifications. As the agency is the leading provider of global humanitarian food aid, cutting USAID has also meant ending government contracts with farmers. In 2020, the federal government bought $2 billion worth of food aid from American farmers, and while this number is a small portion of the entire agriculture market, it does provide stability for those contract employees and fills a demand gap for specific grains. Even food aid received prior to the funding freeze has yet to be delivered and it is not being sent to its planned destination. 

The abrupt termination of USAID also raises questions regarding democracy and legality in the United States, as the actions taken by the current administration undermine Congress’s authority over agency creation and budgetary power. Agency creation and elimination requires Congressional approval; however, nothing has been brought to the legislative branch that requests to dissolve USAID. Similarly, these decisions are guided by the Department of Government Efficiency, a temporary contract organization. The dismantling of the agency has triggered a flurry of lawsuits, with one of them expecting a final hearing on February 21st. Since terminating USAID in this fashion is illegal, the result of the lawsuit and subsequent actions demand close attention.

A proxy war quickly developed: South Vietnam with the USA and the French, North Vietnam supported by the Soviet Union and China.

Approximately three million Vietnamese died by 1975, at that time a tenth of the population. "Killing is the weapon of the strong. Dying is the weapon of the weak," as the 53-year-old writer Viet Thanh Nguyen put it in his nonfiction book "Nothing Ever Dies," which explores the different cultures of remembrance in his native Vietnam and his later homeland, the USA. Viet Thanh Nguyen also describes a visit to the memorial in Washington, where the names of fallen US soldiers are engraved in shiny black stone. "The US memorial shows that remembering is also a form of forgetting," he writes, "a sleight of hand that, in this case, replaces three million Vietnamese with 58,000 American soldiers."

...

The US tourists, many of whom have booked the tour this Saturday, listen patiently and with interest to all this, including how the defoliant Agent Orange was dropped on the area, causing deformities for generations. Visitors also discuss the fact that the new US administration under Donald Trump has suspended worldwide aid payments through USAID . This also affects the cleanup of Agent Orange, mines, and unexploded ordnance from the American war. To this day, forgotten US bombs and mines continue to explode in Laos, Cambodia, and Vietnam, lurking beneath the ground like bad memories.

Ovako se "na mala vrata" uvodi autokratija (ili fasizam?) i USA dobija svojeg Mussolinija:

 

Trump’s most absurd executive order yet

 

On April 9, President Trump issued an executive order titled “Directing the Repeal of Unlawful Regulations.” This document has mostly gone under the national radar, undoubtedly due to the ceaseless parade of headline illegalities pouring out of the White House. But the order’s legal and practical implications are massive.

Trump purports to rely on a series of Supreme Court rulings to justify ordering agencies to identify and “begin plans to repeal” what he calls “unlawful” regulations that are “often promulgated in reliance on now-superseded Supreme Court decisions.” In short, he claims that any regulations that were put in place before the court issued rulings in a series of controversial cases are now automatically unlawful and must go.

The myriad constitutional problems with this maneuver strike at the heart of the separation of powers. The order is also in line with the Republican Party’s pro-corporate “deregulation” agenda, which prominently began with President Ronald Reagan in 1981.

Given the complexities of our system of government and its reliance on checks and balances and compromise, that agenda could not be fully achieved through lawful means. Then came Trump.

For starters, the federal courts — not the president — have the authority under Article III of the Constitution to decide cases involving questions of federal law, including whether recent Supreme Court decisions undermine the legality of an existing federal regulation. Trump is pretending he has the power to issue a king-like proclamation condemning unidentified federal regulations as unlawful. Not so. He is not a federal judge.

Moreover, Trump’s order baldly impedes on the authority of the legislative branch. Regulations are created pursuant to statutes, which fall within the province of Congress. Although regulations function like statutes, the Supreme Court has long upheld agencies’ power to enact regulations that function like statutes on the theory that the agencies themselves are creatures of Congress.

So long as Congress includes an “intelligible principle” guiding how agencies promulgate regulations, the court has concluded that it can give that power to agencies, even though they are housed within the executive branch, which is headed by the president. Because Congress creates agencies and sometimes gives them the power to enact regulations, the legislature has the exclusive power to enact statutes that override those regulations, as well. Trump does not.

A final option for repealing final regulations (which number 3,000 to 4,000 per year) is for agencies themselves to do it. Congress has given agencies a list of procedures they must follow for enacting or repealing regulations. Those procedures are contained in a statute called the Administrative Procedure Act.

Enacting or repealing regulations with the force of law (i.e., the ones that function like statutes) is laborious, requiring the agencies to give notice to and get input from the public, among other hurdles. A decision to enact or repeal regulations is also subject to legal challenges under the Administrative Procedure Act. (See point above about the exclusive role of the courts here.)

So, for Trump to lawfully repeal what he deems “unlawful regulations,” he must either go through Congress or invoke the Administrative Procedure Act’s time-consuming process for repeal. If he chooses that latter route, he must then defend those repeals in the courts, which can take years to resolve. And if he doesn’t like the tedium of the Administrative Procedure Act, which has been in place since 1946, he must persuade Congress to repeal or amend it. No Congress has been willing to do this in nearly 80 years, except to enhance executive accountability, as with the 1966 Freedom of Information Act.

Trump’s cynical team of lawyers offers a fig leaf of legal justification for this obnoxious turn of events. The “good cause” exception to the Administrative Procedure Act’s notice-and-comment process for repealing a regulation. The law basically says that a “good cause” shortcut is permissible if “the agency for good cause finds” that compliance with the notice-and-comment process would be “impracticable, unnecessary, or contrary to the public interest.”

Congress included this language mostly for emergencies — if there is a national health crisis involving imported chicken, for example, the Department of Agriculture might decide to invoke the good-cause exception to put rules on the books in a pinch, on the theory that waiting for the full process to play out would put public health at risk. But even if that’s the case, agencies usually conduct full rulemakings after the fact in order to make sure that the regulations hit the right mark. Trump’s executive order promises no such thing.

To justify the good-cause exception, Trump’s order asserts that “retaining and enforcing facially unlawful regulations is clearly contrary to the public interest.” But this circular reasoning virtually obliterates Congress’s careful process for rulemaking altogether. If a president can just declare regulations unlawful, then the good-cause exception can simply swallow up the Administrative Procedure Act’s bigger requirements for notice and comment. There is no way Congress intended such a self-defeating result.

What about Trump’s power to issue executive orders — doesn’t that give him the authority to do this? The Constitution says nothing about executive orders. Article II instead gives the president the “executive power” and mandates that he “take care that the Laws be faithfully executed.” Trump’s order declaring the repeal of “unlawful” regulations attempts to erase actual laws by presidential fiat. The Supreme Court has long made clear, however, that presidents cannot use executive orders to override or contradict legislation enacted by Congress.

Presidents are not kings. They do not act by edict. Legally, they can only act pursuant to constitutional and statutory law. Trump’s action does neither.

For now, it will be up to Trump’s loyal Cabinet — and whatever career federal employees still remain — to enact his edict by “repealing” regulations that evince something on the list of disfavored features contained in the executive order. The courts will be asked to step in, and some will strike down the administration’s actions. The Supreme Court justices may or may not back their colleagues on the lower courts, and Trump may or may not abide by those rulings.

But in the meantime, Congress — and the country — must stop treating this as normal.

Btw dan nakon sto je Tramp najavio potencijalno tarife, nije jos ni izasao sa onim "liberation day", Stellantis, prozvodjac Jeep, je izasao sa "privremeno cemo otpustiti 900 radnika u 5 fabrika dok ocenimo uticaj tarifa". Odlican izgovor, medjutim, istina je ustvari da im je profit prosle godine (nidje Tramp na vidiku ni tarife) pao 70%. Verovatno jer ljudi nisu mogli da priuste kupovine. 

Za ljude koji prate poslovne vesti neke stvari su logicne, ne treba im Tramp kao izgovor. Tako i za UPS, izgubili su ogroman ugovor sa Amazonom. Logicno idu otpustanja. Isto bi se desilo I da je neko drugi dobio izbore.

EDIT: inače nije uopšte poenta u tome kome je SVA pomoć ukinuta, poenta je u šteti koja se radi na sve strane, recimo

- ukidanje bužetske pomoći i pomoći za palestinske izbjeglice Jordanu (posle Izraela najodanijem američkom savezniku na Bliskom Istoku). Ta pomoć ne samo da omogućuje Jordanu da kako tako funkcioniše uprkos tome što uzdržavaju 5-6 miliona izbjeglica iz Palestine, Sirije i Libana, nego čini da ti ljudi ne pokušavaju da se usele recimo tu kod tebe u potrazi za boljim životom;

- ukidanje vojne pomoći Egiptu, kojom se finasira nastavak borbe protiv ostataka Islamske braće po Sinaju i ostalim zabitima Egipta, a što direktno doprinosi bezbjednosti ne samo Egipta, nego čitavog regiona, pa i svijeta. 

 

I tako dalje, možemo i o tome kako nedostatak pomoći čini da se epidemije rasplamsaju po Africi i ostatku trećeg svijeta, pa onda malo pomalo dođu u goste po razvijenim zemljama, pa i u SAD.

U ostalim vijestima:

 

America’s economy shrunk by an annualised 0.3% in the first quarter—the first contraction in three years. The dramatic drop from 2.4% growth at the end of 2024 is largely the result of a deepening trade deficit, as businesses rush to ship in goods before tariffs make them more pricey. Consumer sentiment has dropped to its lowest level since the recession in 1990.

EDIT:

Donald Trump’s slowing economy

The damage that Donald Trump is doing to the American economy is starting to come into focus. On Wednesday the Bureau of Economic Analysis reported quarterly GDP going negative for the first time since the start of 2022. That data marks a sharp deceleration from the average quarterly expansion of nearly 3% in annualised terms during Joe Biden’s presidency. Yet there will still be debate about how to interpret the dramatic slowdown since Mr Trump took office in late January.

The main cause of the dreary data will be a surge in imports, as companies and consumers have tried to get ahead of tariffs. Arithmetically, higher imports subtract from GDP. At the same time, any build-up in inventories will have added to GDP, for now. Looking through those factors, the evidence will probably paint a picture of a slowdown that has been gradual, so far—but may turn more severe in the coming months.

Jordan izdrzava 5-6 miliona izbeglica iz Palestine, Sirije I Libana? Koje tacno izbeglice iz Palestine? One od pre 60-75 godina? Koliko ja znam tih je bilo oko 750k sve ukupno sa Gazom, WB i ostalim zemljama. Koliko iz Sirije I Libana?

Palestina realno nikad nije postojala kao entitet, Jordan je bio deo Palestine, pa su Palestinci izbegli u Palestinu.

I kako je to uopste odgovornost USA? Sto recimo Lihtestajn ne radi nista po pitanju izbeglica iz Palestine, Sirije I Libana?
