We have one party completely dominated by inherited wealth. And the other party is trying to give it all away.

Food for thought: how is a European Vat tax not a tariff on US goods? That doesn't be sound like free trade to me.

The thing with the tariffs everybody has them on something and there is no true free market, the thing about these tariffs is they are a negotiating tool, but the reason nobody has gone there before is your going to hurt everybody and destroy the economy in the process. It’s really hard to tell somebody who lost their job, but we won. Also rule number 3 of any business school never piss off the guy who owns and is buying your debt.

Trump's had a remarkable record considering the historical, unprecedented head winds against him. Like David Lynch, I see the complete disruption of the rigged politcal game as a net good to the nation, apart from any other aspect of a Trump presidency. I expect he'll make a mistake somewhere sometime. Tariffs may be it. Consider other countries might even act against their own long term interest for a while if it would cause Trump to stumble. [no politics, just observation.]

Hey guys, I've got strong political opinions of my own, but I'm going to keep them to myself on this forum. I enjoy the general absence of politics from this space and would plead that we not stray too far from the audio interests we share.

For me the combo of the strong us$, shipping, taxes and duties: it’s getting the point where it’s very hard to buy new. already around 30% It’s funny sad, as trump misrepresent trade figures between our two nations he imposed more tariffs that directly drive up the price of products bought by American’s or its industry for goods and products sold in the US. I don’t think he really understands net balance of trade data and we are all going to pay the price: who benefits ? You don’t think a business man who has made several billion over the course of his lifetime understands business? Just like everything else he’s done - watch - the tariffs are just a bargaining tool. Someone pointed out the math shows if his inheritance had gone in an index fund he'd have a lot more money than he even claims right now. That's a terrible businessman!

We're in a saturated market where everything new is competing with everything used. Video is where today's growth lies.
