The SS America was an ocean liner built for the United States Lines in 1940. It was designed by naval architect William Francis Gibbs and was the flagship of the United States Lines before the SS United States took over that title in 1952. The SS America was known for its Art Deco interiors and was one of the most luxurious ships of its time.

In the latter years of its life, the SS America was sold to various owners and renamed several times, ultimately being renamed the SS American Star. It met its end when it ran aground off the coast of Fuerteventura in the Canary Islands in 1994.

55%不认可，特朗普经济政策支持率跌至历史最低
2025.04.21
美国总统唐纳德·特朗普能在2024年的美国大选中击败民主党总统候选人卡玛拉·哈里斯，关键原因之一是美国选民认为特朗普比哈里斯更擅长处理经济问题。
但随着特朗普上台后对全球实施关税措施、美股剧烈下挫、美国国债收益率持续攀升，选民眼中的特朗普经济光环正在消失。
美国消费者新闻与商业频道（CNBC）4月20日发布的全国民调显示，对特朗普处理经济问题的表现，高达55%受访者表示不认可，仅有43%受访者认可。这也是CNBC对特朗普两次任总统的所有民调中，特朗普在经济问题上的不支持率首次高于支持率。
民调显示，49%的受访者认为美国经济明年会更糟，为2023年以来最悲观的数据。按党派阵营划分，共和党选民中有76%认为美国经济将改善，民主党选民和独立选民中则分别有83%和54%认为美国经济将恶化。
虽然党派分歧是特朗普在经济问题上支持率下滑的主要原因，但关税和通胀问题正在让特朗普流失部分共和党选民的支持。
民调显示，49%受访者反对特朗普的全面关税政策，持支持态度的仅占35%。大部分选民认为全面关税政策将给美国工人、通胀和整体经济造成负面影响。
在共和党选民中，有59%支持特朗普的全面关税。共和党选民对特朗普的总体支持率为79%，对关税的支持率比总体支持率低20个百分点。
通胀则是选民对特朗普最不满的议题。在特朗普处理通胀问题上，高达60%受访者表示不支持，只有37%支持。即便在共和党选民中，58%的支持率也是所有议题中最低的。民调还显示，57%的受访者认为美国很快或者目前已经处于经济衰退中。
在对股市的看法上，53%受访者认为当前不宜投资，只有38%认为现在是投资的好时候。这也与特朗普刚胜选后市场的乐观态度形成鲜明对比。
在所有议题中，特朗普支持率最高的议题是移民问题。在特朗普处理美墨边境问题上，53%受访者表示赞成，41%反对。在大规模驱逐非法移民上，也有52%受访者支持特朗普的行动，45%反对。
此次民调出炉后，美国众议院少数派领袖、民主党人哈基姆·杰弗里斯开始攻击特朗普的经济政策。杰弗里斯指出，目前美国的房价、日常用品价格、能源价格、儿童看护花销和保险费用都很高。他嘲讽，特朗普当选时最大的优势就是处理经济的能力，“但现在这是他的最大弱点。”
过去两周，美国前总统们罕见在公共场合接连发声，批评特朗普政府的政策。美国前总统约瑟夫·拜登抨击特朗普新政府在不到100天时间里给美国造成巨大破坏；贝拉克·奥巴马敦促美国高校效仿哈佛大学，与特朗普政府干涉大学自主权的行动抗争。继拜登和奥巴马之后，比尔·克林顿也在上周六的演讲中批评美国社会分裂加剧并赞扬联邦雇员对美国的贡献。
与拜登和奥巴马一样，克林顿在演讲中没有点名特朗普，但他表示“时不时承认你错了，对你有好处。”

进口多元与技术替代，中国大豆玉米供应链正在重构
2025.04.21
界面新闻记者 | 富充 武冰聪界面新闻编辑 | 任雪松
近日，中国进口商从巴西集中采购了至少40艘货轮、共计240万吨大豆。业内人士表示，这批大豆大多将于5月至7月装船出货，采购量约占中国月均进口总量的三分之一。
在此次大规模采购前后时间，中国对原产于美国的进口商品加征关税，反制其对等措施。中国正加快推进对大豆、玉米的“去依赖”进程，但这场“脱钩”并非突发，而是过去数年政策引导、产业试验与市场演化的集中体现。
通过进口多元化与技术革新“双轮驱动”，中国正系统性降低对美依赖，重塑全球大豆与玉米供应链格局。
大豆与玉米虽非直接食用，却是中国养殖体系的核心支柱。大豆主要用于榨油和饲料豆粕（豆粕占畜禽饲料蛋白来源的90%以上），玉米则是生猪、蛋禽、肉鸡养殖的主要能量饲料。2024年，中国大豆消耗量约为1.17亿吨，其中超过85%依赖进口；玉米进口量仅占国内总供应量的4.4%，但深加工与育种环节的进口依赖仍在加深。
自2015年以来，美国一直是中国最主要的大豆供应国之一。2017年，中国从美国进口3285万吨大豆，占全部进口量的34%；到2024年，进口量降至2213万吨，市场份额缩至22%。尽管中国仍是美国大豆最大的出口目的地，其战略地位已不复从前。
与美国形成鲜明对比的，是巴西近年在中国大豆进口市场上的明显增势。2024年，中国从巴西进口大豆的金额已占大豆进口总金额的69.16%，美国大豆则占中国大豆进口额的22.83%。阿根廷、乌拉圭、加拿大共计占据2024年中国大豆进口额的7%左右份额。
根据巴西国家商品供应公司（CONAB）预计，巴西2024/25年度大豆产量将达到1.68亿吨，2024年巴西大豆出口潜力高达1.1亿吨，远超同期的美豆供应能力。
在正常贸易环境下，巴西大豆到岸价较美豆低5%-10%，其蛋白含量（平均47%）与含油量略优于美豆，更适配中国饲料加工需求。同时，多家企业向界面新闻表示，对美原料依赖已明显下降。
记者从新希望集团相关人士处获悉，2024年公司自美国进口的饲料原料仅占全年使用总量不到2%，主要涉及玉米、高粱、乳清粉等品类。自2018年中美贸易摩擦以来，公司持续拓展多元化采购渠道，提升国产原料替代比例，逐步降低对美进口依赖。
金龙鱼则回应称，原料进口方面，从原料端来看，南美大豆丰产，中国国储大豆和国产大豆也有所增加，无需依赖美国进口。小麦、玉米、水稻以国内自给自足为主，进口占比不大，有少量需要进口的原料可以从黑海等地进口即可满足需求。
不过，巴西供应链仍存在结构性短板。其内陆运输依赖未铺装公路，物流成本占比达25%（美国仅8%），且易受雨季影响。同时，由于南北半球种植季节互补，过度依赖巴西大豆可能在一季度与四季度面临供应空窗期。
更重要的是，过度依赖单一进口来源可能威胁粮食安全。一旦主供国遭遇自然灾害或出口政策波动，将对中国原料供应链造成系统性冲击。目前，中国正加快构建覆盖南美、东欧、中亚乃至非洲的多元进口体系，以提升农业外循环的韧性与稳定性。
除巴西外，中国正与乌克兰、阿根廷等国家建立长期采购机制。中欧班列已将乌克兰至中国的运输周期压缩至20天，利好玉米、豌豆等品类进口。阿根廷则凭借其大豆压榨产能，向中国出口豆粕等深加工产品，从源头绕开美豆依赖。与此同时，中国企业还积极参与巴西桑托斯港等物流枢纽建设，使年货运能力提升至1400万吨，进一步保障供应稳定。
除了外部调整，中国农业体系也在内部同步推进供给优化。“大豆振兴计划”持续推进，国产大豆产量自十年前的1200万吨增至2022年后的2000万吨以上，自给率提升至18%。北大荒集团尾山农场引入‘龙垦3092’高蛋白品种，亩产达569斤，蛋白含量达40%。玉米方面，全国转基因玉米试点种植面积已突破1000万亩，单产提升10%-15%，随着商业化落地加速，未来将进一步降低高成本进口玉米的必要性。
根据国家统计局及中国海关总署数据，2013至2022年，我国玉米产量自24845.3万吨增长至27720.3万吨，年复合增长率为1.22%；我国玉米需求量自25164万吨增长至29782万吨，年复合增长率为1.89%。国产玉米占据我国玉米需求的绝对比例，国产玉米量增长情况也大于玉米需求的增长率。
在企业端，大豆、玉米的减量替代成为行业共识。中信建投农业研究院魏鑫对界面新闻表示，在具体应用场景，国内养殖企业对于低蛋白配方已有一定程度研究，加上整体养殖效率的提升，对美豆的依赖程度逐步下降。
在养殖效率上，自动化与精细化管理使头部企业每公斤完全成本降至15元以下，这有助于控制饲料消耗水平。
2023年，农业农村部在《饲用豆粕减量替代三年行动方案》中提出，到2025年将饲料中豆粕占比从2022年的14.5%降至13%以下。国家统计局数据显示，2024年1—10月，全国豆粕用量同比下降8%，已基本实现该阶段目标。企业层面，新希望、牧原等头部养殖企业的豆粕使用比例已降至10%以下。
农业农村部生猪产业监测预警首席专家王祖力表示，豆粕使用比例仍有进一步压缩空间。“养殖效率的提升，每年大约可节省一个百分点的豆粕使用量，短期内边际效益尚未显现明显递减。”王祖力认为。
与此同时，昆虫蛋白、单细胞蛋白、乙醇梭菌蛋白等新型蛋白源正加速产业化。在政策与技术共同推动下，这些替代品将有效补充蛋白供给，进一步削弱传统豆粕的主导地位。
当前中美贸易仍处于摩擦、博弈与重构阶段，为我国农业领域带来了新的挑战与机遇。在加快进口来源多元化布局的同时，国内大型饲料和养殖企业凭借豆粕替代技术和养殖效率的持续提升，在豆粕减量方面展现出显著优势。相关变局也将在一定程度上进一步强化行业集中度，利好具备技术与规模能力的头部企业。
这场农业有关大豆、玉米进口的变革不仅是对中美贸易对抗的回应，更是一场包含科技革新、供应链多点布局、农业政策协同与风险管理体系构建的系统性优化。中国的目标，不只是“去美国化”，而是借此构建一个“以我为主，多元互补”的粮食安全新格局，逐步实现真正的农业自主与战略安全。

Why are the workers at the airport so alarmed when you don't have a return ticket? Bitch it's non of your business where and how I'm traveling, it is bad enough you are treating me like a terrorist and I have to carry this fucking booklet with my picture to prove I'm not a criminal. It's like a slave leaving the plantation, and the guard at the gate is nervous if the slave not coming back the owner will be mad at him lol.

By addressing the unique needs of urban professionals, expatriates, hotels, and retailers—while leveraging prime locations and eco-tech—the project can capture 15% of Addis Ababa’s dry-cleaning market within three years. Regular feedback loops (e.g., SMS surveys) will ensure continuous alignment with customer expectations.

Boaz Trading PLC’s pricing strategy balances affordability, cultural relevance, and sustainability while positioning the brand as a premium yet accessible choice in Addis Ababa. Below is a detailed breakdown of the strategy, including cost structures, competitive positioning, and value-driven incentives:
---
### **1. Localized Pricing: Aligning with Ethiopian Purchasing Power**
#### **Core Service Pricing**
| **Service** | **Boaz Price (ETB)** | **Informal Competitors (ETB)** | **Value Proposition** |
|---------------------------|----------------------|---------------------------------|---------------------------------------------------------|
| Shirt | 150 | 200 | Eco-friendly cleaning, no shrinkage, 48-hour turnaround |
| Suit | 400 | 500–600 | Stain-free guarantee, luxury packaging |
| Habesha Kemis | 600 | 400–500 (non-specialized) | Handwashing, embroidery repair, herbal starch |
- **Rationale**:
- **Shirts**: Priced 25% below informal competitors to attract price-sensitive urban professionals. Assumes economies of scale from high-volume cleaning.
- **Suits**: Competitively priced for quality-conscious clients, with a focus on expatriates and corporate workers.
- **Habesha Kemis**: Premium pricing reflects specialized labor (e.g., hand-stitching repairs) and eco-friendly detergents.
#### **Cost Structure & Margins**
| **Service** | **Variable Cost (ETB)** | **Margin (ETB)** | **Margin (%)** |
|---------------------------|-------------------------|------------------|----------------|
| Shirt | 90 | 60 | 40% |
| Suit | 250 | 150 | 37.5% |
| Habesha Kemis | 350 | 250 | 41.6% |
- **Key Drivers**:
- Bulk procurement of biodegradable detergents reduces variable costs by 15%.
- Solar energy cuts utility expenses by 30%, protecting margins despite lower prices.
---
### **2. Membership Model: Building Recurring Revenue & Loyalty**
#### **Structure**
- **Price**: 1,000 ETB/month for 10 garments (any mix of shirts, suits, or accessories).
- **Breakdown**: Averages **100 ETB/garment** (33% discount vs. standard rates).
#### **Value-Added Features**
- **Free Delivery**: Motorcycle fleet ensures last-mile convenience.
- **Priority Slots**: Guaranteed 24-hour turnaround during peak seasons.
- **Rollover Credits**: Unused garments carry over to the next month (max 5).
#### **Target Audience**
- **Urban Professionals**: Saves 500 ETB/month vs. à la carte pricing.
- **Frequent Users**: Encourages habit formation (e.g., weekly office attire cleaning).
#### **Break-Even Analysis**
- **Fixed Costs/Month**: 2.8M ETB (salaries, rent, equipment).
- **Members Needed to Break Even**: 2,800 members (1,000 ETB x 2,800 = 2.8M ETB).
- **Upsell Potential**: 30% of members purchase add-ons (e.g., fragrance infusion).
---
### **3. Tiered & Dynamic Pricing**
#### **Seasonal Adjustments**
- **Peak Seasons (Weddings, Holidays)**:
- **Express Service Surcharge**: +20% (e.g., 720 ETB for Habesha Kemis).
- **Wedding Bundles**: 10 garments for 5,000 ETB (17% discount).
- **Off-Peak Discounts**:
- **Rainy Season Promo**: 20% off alterations to maintain workflow.
#### **Corporate Partnerships**
- **Bulk Contracts**:
- Hotels: 400 ETB/suit (vs. 500 ETB standard) for 100+ garments/month.
- Airlines: 300 ETB/uniform shirt with free repairs.
---
### **4. Psychological Pricing & Positioning**
- **Round Numbers**: Aligns with Ethiopian consumer preferences for transparency.
- **Bundling**:
- “Office Essentials”: 3 shirts + 1 suit = 750 ETB (vs. 850 ETB individually).
- **Anchor Pricing**: Highlight informal competitors’ 200 ETB shirt price to emphasize Boaz’s value.
---
### **5. Competitive Differentiation**
| **Factor** | **Boaz Trading PLC** | **Informal Competitors** |
|--------------------------|--------------------------------------|-----------------------------------|
| Price/Shirt | 150 ETB | 200 ETB |
| Quality | Eco-friendly, no shrinkage | Harsh chemicals, inconsistent |
| Transparency | Digital receipts, SMS tracking | Cash-only, no records |
| Cultural Expertise | Habesha Kemis specialists | Limited traditional garment care |
---
### **6. Risk Mitigation**
- **Competitor Price Wars**:
- Emphasize unmatched quality (e.g., “No shrinkage or color fade guarantee”).
- Introduce a “Basic Tier” at 130 ETB/shirt using streamlined processes.
- **Currency Volatility**: Offer dual ETB/USD pricing for expatriates.
---
### **7. Payment Flexibility**
- **Mobile Money**: Integrate with *TeleBirr* and *M-Pesa* for seamless transactions.
- **Corporate Billing**: Monthly invoicing for hotels and NGOs.
---
**Conclusion**
Boaz’s pricing strategy leverages Ethiopia’s purchasing power dynamics to disrupt the market. By undercutting informal competitors on price while offering superior quality, cultural specialization, and eco-conscious practices, the company positions itself as the go-to choice for urban professionals and expatriates. The membership model ensures recurring revenue, while tiered pricing and partnerships future-proof the business against volatility. This approach not only drives customer acquisition but also aligns with Ethiopia’s sustainability and economic inclusion goals.
