From the get go? Really? 100% political?
The very first post in the thread, which I created, only had two things in it:
1. Me saying: "Thanks to the Trump Tax:"
and
2. The link to the article discussing the interview with Gary Shapiro ...
... where Shapiro (not me) specifically says:
"The TRUMP Administration has now formally proposed an excise TAX or tariff on consumers' favorite technology products" [emphasis mine].
Do yourself a favor and re-read the first post. Then tell me you came to the same conclusion.
Am I for the tariffs? absolutely not. Tariffs are idiotic do nothing to help competitiveness and in the end only hurt the consumer (but they can make some wealthy business people a bit richer which is why they can complain about big gouvernment but then they like them because it puts money in their pockets.) And especially when it is willy nilly, depends on my mood tariffs that destabilize the market.
My point was simple. if I ask you
There will be a 25% increase in the price of goods, how are you going to deal with it as a business owner?
what am I talking about?
and if I say
Thanks to the Trump Tax:
