Is anyone concerned about tariffs?

Is it too soon to question or comment regarding possible course correction of the NAFTA fallout?

Sure, anyone can cherry pick the response they seek...cognitive dissonance

in this case, commentary from one business person.


I prefer to look to the neutral experts at the Federal Reserve.

So does the economy and the markets

That "Business Person" - Tom Lee has been profiled by national media including the Wall Street Journal which featured Lee as the cover article, Thomas Lee Said 'Buy' as COVID-19 Caused Stock Market Meltdown based on the investor response to several high-profile investment calls made in 2020.

He has made other well timed investment calls and has a loyal following, especially by younger investors.

Regarding the Fed, Big ERN, also known as Karsten Jeske, is a well-known figure in the Financial Independence, Retire Early (FIRE) community. He is a former Federal Reserve employee and uses his blog to discuss finance and early retirement.

You might want to read more at length of who these people are and understand why they have come to their conclusions.

By the way, how is the exodus from the US going?

Serial Killer Dies With Bizarre Final Words for Trump
Anybody see this? His last words were, "Donald Trump, keep making America great. I'm ready to go." Says a lot about DT's fan(atical and crazy) fan base.
Not to be outdone by infamous former conservatives Marjorie Taylor Greene and Tucker Carlson....who now, reportedly have thrown their praise toward the Democratic Socialist Zohran Mamdani.
You have to see it in print to believe it. LOL.

It's a mad, mad world.

MTG must be feeling the heat from David Hogg who will no doubt endorse an up and coming dem to kick her ass. Unfortunately for her there’s no way she can reinvent herself and model her future campaign after Mamdani’s b/c she’s one of the most hated politicians on the planet. Her comments are interesting considering this is the same woman who chased and harassed Hogg down the street demanding to know how he managed to meet with so many members of congress, calling him a coward and a ‘crisis actor’ when he was still a teenager. Her time would be better spent on a half day overhaul at a hair salon. Spend a little on yourself Madge.

Hogg’s backing of Mamdani is probably what helped him to win more than anything. Getting rid of the establishment, old guard in the dem party is long overdue, but of course nobody wants to hear that within the party. With the exception of reps and senators in Cali, NY and some northern and southern NE states, many of them are exactly how he describes them - ‘asleep at the wheel.’ They’re not doing enough to stop Rump. Gen Z has the best chance of doing this because they’re not phased by bullies and hate racism, bigotry and xenophobia more than anything. Rump has already threatened Mamdani warning him not to do anything that would cut off federal funding for his state. How did the US get to the point where a president can get away w/ this kind of sh*t? Can’t WAIT for mid-terms when most of the political fat cats get put out to pasture and the Rump Show gets cancelled.

Unfortunately this won’t equate to savings for Americans. They just prefer this over paying their fair share. The only way to get $ out of their greedy fists is to TAX them, no matter where they are. Much easier to do than to tax the consumer, but Rump is too implacable to listen and learn from anyone - especially from his own cabinet.
Huh, I thought you'd complain that it's now a China company..."Chi-na!"

But yeah, you never met a tax you didn't like. smiling smiley
