Wasnt sure where to put the trade news anymore...

Record US exports for the last 3 months.

Those are the highest figures in 250 years of American history. This doesn’t happen organically. This comes from all the deals @POTUS has been striking.

.@USTradeRep Amb. Greer: If you look at January, February and March of this year, U.S. Exports were over $300B each month. Those are the highest figures in 250 years of American history. This doesn’t happen organically. This comes from all the deals @POTUS has been striking.

Record U.S. exports confirmed: Official BEA data shows goods and services exports hit $302B in January, $315B in February, and $321B in March 2026—successive all-time highs exceeding $300B monthly.
White House rapid response post: @RapidResponse47
, the official account promoting Trump's America First agenda, shares a Fox News clip of USTR Ambassador Jamieson Greer attributing the surge to presidential trade deals rather than organic growth.
Trade deals context: Greer highlights agreements with 20 countries including Australia, Canada, Mexico, and others, with exports boosted by sectors like energy, soybeans, and industrial supplies amid global factors.

Its all the energy sector, particularly crude, refined, and liquid exports.  

The primary driver of America's record-breaking exports in early 2026 was a dramatic surge in energy exports (crude oil, natural gas, and refined products), which hit record highs as global buyers scrambled to fill supply shortages caused by the conflict with Iran and the resulting closure of the Strait of Hormuz. 

Total U.S. exports reached an all-time high of $320.9 billion in March 2026, with Q1 2026 seeing each month exceed $300 billion, notes 247wallst.com and AOL.com. 

Key Drivers to 2026 Export Record:

• Energy Surge (Primary Driver): U.S. crude oil exports surged to over 5 million barrels per day (bpd) in April, as Asian and European buyers sought alternatives to Middle Eastern supplies. Shipments of LNG, gasoline, and diesel also hit records, with total crude and petroleum product exports reaching nearly 12.9 million barrels daily, according to the WSJ.
  
• Tariff Negotiations: Reports suggest that export-driven companies expanded their international reach after the administration used tariffs as leverage to negotiate lower duties on American goods with roughly 20 countries, notes AOL.com.
  
• Gold and Industrial Materials: Increased global demand for American nonmonetary gold and other industrial materials/metals significantly contributed to the record numbers, according to Trading Economics and Financial Content.
  
• Tech and Aerospace: High-value exports in sectors such as computing hardware and aerospace components remained strong, notes Tendata and Financial Content. 
  

While export companies benefited from these highs, the surge in energy exports was associated with elevated fuel prices for American consumers.

But for fun

Exports in March 2025: $275.7 Billion
Gas prices in March 2025: $3.15/gallon

Exports in March 2026: $320 Billion
​​​Gas prices March 2026: $3.79/gallon

% change in total Exports: 14-15% 
% change gas price: 16-17%

So lets try to guess what April will be. Not released yet.  We know the gas prices, so if im right about something we can back extrapolate the likely record exports in April..

​​​Gas prices April 2026: $4.10/gallon
% change gas price: 7-8%

BASED ON ALL OF THE ABOVE, I predict US exports hits 335 to 340 billion for April 2026.

And the export boom's effect for us is neglibable.

[BeyondKnowledge]

As prices rise, there can only be an increase in the amount of money exchanged. Until no one can afford anything. 

Can we get a breakdown by material volume rather than dollars? All these numbers show so far is everything costs more.

[SomeStupidName]

Some of the reasons things cost more is also due to the United Sates getting off slave labor goods. We should have never gone that direction in the 90's and now we have to pay the piper if we want to bring back higher paying jobs. this means things are going to cost more a lot more and it's actually a good thing. It's time to get back into the mind set that you only buy things that you need more than just wasting your money instant gratification. Live lean, and take nothing for granted. Three generations of spoiled brats, well play time is over, suck it up, you'll live.

Any country that knowingly trades with slavers, is complicit in their guilt and is supportive of that slavery.

The USA cannot claim to be ignorant of the fact that some goods are the product of forced slave labour and despite reductions in import volumes due to economic shifts, the USA is still importing slave produced goods (higher tariffs just mean that the US government is collecting more taxes on the trade).

But it gets worse:

Global Slavery Index / Country Study - United States of America. Please note the number of modern slaves in the USA! With the 13th Amendment, how does this happen?

The USA has State-imposed (non voluntary) forced labour for the incarcerated.

The USA also has the 5th highest incarceration rate in the world and the highest number of incarcerated prisoners in the world.

Since the crime rate for the USA is roughly median in the world (58th out of 150 countries), the justification for the near maximum levels of incarceration is non-existent.

US anti-slavery laws are not absolute like in other countries, either. They have an exception built-in which means that he USA has never actually abolished slavery.

Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction.

The USA is not a nation of freedom and liberty - it is at the opposite end of the scale.

Maybe the reason for that is rehabilitation and not doing your work duty is punished by 
Cell restriction and the loss of good-time credits. Which they earn by working. So please, tell me how involuntary it is when they simply have to "not show up" to refuse.

What the hell are you thinking is happening? That the inmates are tackled in a 5 man team and dragged to the fields like in some 1950s movie? That doesn't happen. They refuse and they get fired from the position and put on janitorial duty and get privileges taken away, like when a little kid doesn't clean their room

But no go ahead and glorify it into some kind of twisted world. Inmates are treated better than officers. I can go forever on this subject try me.

Is this data from the government? If so, let's watch the stock market.

Pretty much the only thing I didn't support with the woke takeover was the DA reform shit. E.g. The progressive treatment first method modeled after all places EU and Oceania. 

Because lenient DA's FUCKING SUCK. Rehabilitation first is a joke of everyone going through the motions until they dont have to anymore. And then go get more drugs to be a public nuisance with. 

The independent Spencer Pratt running against Karen Bass in LA had an absolutely AMAZING quote that even social liberals are applauding now.

"I will go below the Harbor Freeway tomorrow with her and we can find some of these people she’s going to offer treatment for. She’s going to get stabbed in the neck. These people do not want a bed. They want fentanyl or super meth."

And you know Califonia is sick of liberal DAs when that quote gets like 65% approval.  Because the only way to treat them is to force them to detox in prison.  Maybe give alcoholics librium.  But tell the recidivist junkie to do it without methadone and suffer. Look at the pretend train wallpaper in their cell!  

Disgusting drug addicts refusing to get off the street, even with beds waiting, is what destroys city cores. And holding their hands with progressive hope they can be treated without prison enables it, doing nothing to force them off the street enables it. 

Its the ONE place you can't be lenient.  

If anything we need HIGHER incarceration rates, because there is not enough space to indefinitely hold the recidivist junkie behind bars until they join the fucking Cult of Bill W and stay in it. 

Because group-dependent chainsmoking coffee addicts change the way they are insufferable into something socially acceptable. Far less crime and wrecked lives, but they'll still make you want to shoot yourself to be around.

Oh yeah... topic...  something about 320 billion in record US exports!

Of course, they want to milk their cash cow. I'm sure George Washington treated his 100+ slaves very well. But they were still slaves, in a society that, on average, didn't treat slaves well.

As near as I can tell, last year the total U.S. government expenses on public prisons and jails amounted to $417.1 billion.

Economics of incarceration - Prison Policy Initiative

Figure it out... the numbers are over-the-top suspicious. The law has loopholes. and people are making lots of money to not rock the boat.

Meanwhile the citizens are waving flags and chanting pithy slogans about how 'comfy' their prison nation is as they, the un-privileged ones, struggle to make ends meet (occasionally slipping into crime, and oops!).

What about Neanderthal Cro Magnon Slave races?

Did Neanderthals keep Cro-Magnons as sex-slaves?

 
The interbreeding that took place was an exclusively male Neanderthal-female "modern" exchange.
Therefore, there was a master-slave relationship between Neanderthals and "modern" sapiens, with Neanderthals as master, and the "modern" hybrid Cro-Magnon as slave. Leading genetic and archaeological experts agree that male-exclusive interbreeding is usually the result of violence.

 Was That the dawn of Slavery??
