existing tariffs account for around $200-$300 per household. Current inflation rate is 2.4%.

Nope, not at all my thoughts. But we are pinging over something that has not even happened while seeming to ignore what already has.

"What already has" has been a worldwide situation caused by worldwide decreased then increased demand. We actually came through it better than most. Tariffs are not a worldwide issue. This is Us doing things that have been shown to increase prices. Looking ahead is always a good idea.

This was actually a good read when you go through the whole piece.

Makes me glad that I have always taken the steps I can control to isolate myself from the decisions of any administration.

Bike and bike parts are so insignificant compared to the essentials.

Yep, but I can't say what I really mean without pushing this over the edge. Gotta continue skirting around things like everyone else has been doing.

All smoke, no action and there will never be any action because China is simply not an aggressor. Not historically nor today. Instead of focusing on potential disputes with China, why not worry about competing with China?

Again, hate China if you like if that’s your World view. Tariffs hurts everyone at the end of day.

So there's a valid reason China draws its nine dash line into the territorial waters of a bunch of other countries, is there?

China not an aggressor?

And that's just the Indo Pacific. Then there's Tibet, Taiwan, Indian border, there's the belt-and-road initiative.....

I just can't take you seriously anymore.

Surely this is high quality, Durianrider-esque trolling. Surely.
