Ask the bitch we call Premier.
Not in this household there is not, and nor will there be.

Best comment:
“ Look. Instead of having three iPhones you’ll have to be happy sharing an iPhone. You could attach a cord to it and hang on the wall. Would that be so bad?”

Second best comment:
“ Tariffs are simply the name we give to the things we choose to do together.”

There are some first rate Speech Pathology clinics out there that specialize in stuttering mitigation therapies.

If there were a case to be made that the tariffs would increase long term prosperity, even with some short term pain, so be it, but they never make any such case. They just make the claim. And almost every expert in the world makes the case about why they're wrong.

There have to be people in the administration who talk the "party line" and then go home and have a strong gargle with salt water to clear out their mouth. Not sure who these people are however.

Good news, chaps - we'll soon be able to afford to own British cars. Because if there's one thing I miss about blighty it's standing there in the pouring fucking rain trying to get the bloody thing to start.
Trump reduces tarriff on British cars, steel and aluminium to 10%
You only get a 'u' with aluminium

For my view, I think that we could find alternatives for the rare earth minerals, etc.
For me, the more concern is that China is moving in to our traditional allies. The US has lost some of its trusted status, which is a bigger long term problem.

So we’re apparently backing down to 30% tariffs on China and vice versa for 90 days to have time to make some kind of deal. Futures markets are happy.

wrote 17 days ago last edited by@jon-nyc When all is finished it will be interesting to see a table of before tariffs vs after tariffs for various countries and see how much (if any) change there was.

And it will be interesting to see the "concessions" America gets. My guess is, almost nothing meaningful. Because I'm still not convinced that the rest of the world was "ripping us off" as we became the richest nation on earth.
