    total cost of cables, $90.
    Did a double take when i saw total was 130+.

    Reason?

    30%. fk this.

    Shouldn't that drastically reduce housing prices?

    At my job we do the same, were not eating the tariffs, we send out updates monthly to the increases and we mark on our invoice a line item that is simply says tariffs. Our owner is a trump lover in WPB and when I asked him if we were eating the fess, he just smiled and said, what do you think LOL :D

    at this point if you believe the maga line that anyone BUT consumers are paying the tariff then you just are not bright enough to type in "who pays tariffs" into the google machine..............I am utterly shocked at how uninformed some folks are

    SCOTUS is taking up tramp`s tariffs.......How many of you actually think they will follow the constitution; they have been nothing but a rubber stamp for the king

    They just approved him not sending foreign aid that has already been approved by Congress..............talk about "The Swamp"

    almost 6 mos after Trump 2.0's liberation day, there is no trade agreement w the Gazillion $ gorilla, China.
    as recently as earlier this AM,Trump's WH was ready to let tiktok die. then came the news that
    China says NVDA violated anti-monopoly law after preliminary probe


    the latest is that Bessent says US, China have 'framework' on TikTok deal; Trump, Xi to meet Friday to finalize

    speculation abound that

    there will be another extension on the China deal, which will take us to 2026
    Trump and Xi will meet in China later this year for Xi's dog and pony show giving more details
    on TikTok and NVDA

    :rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:, all these TACO back-pedaling, and

    I know this is the Trump's administration to move to a consumption tax, but I don't think they really thought this through. Either that or they just don't give a crap.

    In Brazil or the US?

    I know about the US, very high crop yields this year too. But if they can’t sell the food, might as well let it all rot in the fields.

    I guess we’ll get an uptick in rodents and other vermin. What could possibly go wrong?
