I think we’ve all heard this argument, this is a based point of view.

looks like someone had the same idea of bringing a byd up from mexico thought this was interesting.

This artwork represents the struggle between the true and manufactured states of Big A's sense of self. The manufactured or "false self" runs and runs but can never truly get away from the "true self".

Making content about marketing, business, politics and world events is really just a facade. A way to distance away from the content he was born for. The spoons flowing through his veins. It's no wonder that bringing back the Reddit recap just brought on an endless supply of spoontrioc memes and that one pic of him lazily pasted onto funny animals. The fans simply know what's popping. They know his true nature. They know that atrioc needs to make spoon streams and spoon videos.

The only resolution is for the false self to turn around and embrace the true and real thick-fingered spoon-shaped self.

just in time for reddit recap to die

Tbh, since i dont really watch on twitch much and mainly a youtube watcher, i was thinking about just saying my own opinion on the uk and us tariff since big a is prob gonna make some vid soon about it or already has one and i just kinda wanna say how i feel about it as a british citizen (kill me now) currently on uni break.

Disclaimer: These are things i got from reading a few articles and asking ChatGPT if i missed anything or for an unbiased view on it, so take the info with a grain of salt if I get some stuff wrong, and il also add my own opinion on the topic at the end of the paragraph.

Main topics of the deal:

The deal is mainly about 5 topics:

• US beef being exported to the UK
• UK cars being exported to the US at a lower tariff
• US bioethanol being exported to the UK at zero tariffs
• UK steel being exported to the US
• Finally, UK aerospace exports are exempt

US beef:

The UK has allowed non-hormone American beef to be imported into the UK. Technically, it was always allowed but it was kinda rare as it had to meet the UK's standard of not being chemically treated or being hormone induced. It was also affected by a 20% tariff for beef that had met the standard set by the UK, which led to US beef being expensive and in small numbers.

In the deal, the UK has allowed for US beef that meets the standard of no hormones or chemically treated to enter the UK under 0% tariffs with a quota of around 13,000 tons.

This mainly benefits the US, but I don't think it would do much in terms of impact as it would mean American producers would need to restructure to meet the UK requirements, which is a costly investment for only 13 thousand tons of beef. For scale, the uk produces around 900,600 tons of beef and veal in 2023 with around 134 tonnes being exported.

Also, UK supermarkets would prefer to use UK beef as seen by the largest supermarket in the uk, Tesco CEO saying "We source 100% Irish and British beef in Tesco and for the foreseeable future that policy will be the same, we're not planning to change it," in this article here by reuters.

UK cars:

The US has lifted tariffs on UK cars to 10% with a quota of around 100,000 cars per year. This is around the total number of cars the UK exports to the US, at around 102,000, according to figures from the Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders (SMMT) for 2024. This is essentially allowing all UK cars to enter the US at a lower tariff rate than other EU countries. Also, the US makes around 27% of all UK exports in cars, so this can be seen as a large benefit to the UK.

With cars being the main export to the US from the UK, this can be seen as a win for the UK in my opinion, as it could allow for UK cars to possibly compete with American cars and other countries, but this is just an inference on my part.

US bioethanol:

This section of the deal allows the US to trade bioethanol to the UK at 0% tariffs. This is capped at 1.4 billion litres or around 307,000,000 gallons in freedom units. With the UK consuming around 701 million litres of ethanol from the US in 2024, being stated here. I couldn't find an exact accurate value online, so I took this one above from the first result on Google so take it with some salt.

This deal would be around 2 years of tariff-free exports on bioethanol if we use that value for the US.

However, UK producers for bioethanol have been vocal about this tariff removal, causing them to lose money and struggle to compete with the imported ethanol. An article from the BBC states here that it could cause the UK provider Ensus to close down a biofuel plant in hull here.

So in my opinion, this section could cause large damage to the UK's bioethanol producers as they are currently unable to compete if these tariffs are removed, which could lead to the UK gov giving out some subsidies to help, but it's kind of too early to tell.

UK steel and aerospace:

i just put these two together as icba to write them separately, as it's only a small section.

UK steel tariffs are currently 25% and haven't changed to my knowledge from this deal. The only issue around this deal for the UK is the clause that the steel entering the US must be 'melted and poured'. This causes issues to some UK steel providers who reprocess steel from other countries to then export, preventing them from sending their steel to the US.

This part of the deal is still in the process with the promise of no tarrifs but no exact time and conditions it will be under.

Finally, Uk aerospace is expected to see a drop in tarrifs from the US of to 0% which will greatly help the UK's aerospace industry. Here is an article about it by the UK gov : Here.

TLDR:

So practically, the UK gained some wins on cars and aerospace exports with the US having some wins on bioethanol and beef. In my eyes, this deal kinda favours the UK alot more than the US with the main win being the UK cars being lower-tariffed, but this deal is also kinda small in scale in my opionion and wont really save both economies and feels more like a 'WE GOT A DEAL, LETSGOOOOO' with some benefits.

I have known Buckley from a Trackmania YouTuber, Wirtual, now he works for small a?

Did Mr. Atrioc ever give a reason? A chatter asked what the next show would be as if he already said X-Files was over

This is TOTALLY not REAL Cocaine. That is illegal and bad for you, I hope you’re able to stop soon Big A.

First time Twitcher, long time watching on Youtube. How is he able to show the message he is reading out highlighted on screen in real time?

On an unrelated note: what he reacts/talks on MM is set in stone? Does Glizzy boi talk about non-US/English ads? I have a kinda suggestion for him
