Not start a fight
 

Just wondering how the US members are being affected by the new Tariffs
Now as the title states this is not about starting arguments etc it is about how it genuinely is happening
Greg I hope I have not stepped over the line in the sand

I do not think so. We can have a conversation and not get political, I hope. lol
If it does we will shut it down.

It has not affected me any that I have noticed until today. We bought a new shower head for one of the bathrooms in December of last year. 34.98 plus tax.

We liked that one so we decided to buy another tonight at Lowe’s. Same one was 41.98 at the same Lowe’s.

It has actually helped us at the Plant I work at. We supply engines to the vehicle assembly plant and they are adding a new shift that pulled production volume from Japan to the USA.

I have not noticed anything personally. But I'm sure I will just bought a imported tractor im sure it will need parts eventually.


Has also helped at my job as well. We build the shipping crates that cat deere cnh and so on use to ship their parts around

There is a 90-day hold on them right now; IE is not being enforced except for China. Probably where we will see them first in the tractor world is tire costs will go up unless new deals are signed before the 90-day hold is up.

These are some of the reports that are popping up in Australia

Maybe if you tell them it is a part for an Apple phone no tariff will be applicable

I work for an equipment manufacture in the construction industry within the last 10 years 90% of our manufacturing has moved to China. I hated to see it, but the quality is actually better than what we were making in the United States.

I would love to see all manufacturing in the United States however I get to some facilities That are mainly automotive that in my opinion, the union has destroyed. In those facilities, it is about taking a break and not working just doing the minimum to be necessary. Therefore, when I hear of tariffs basically encouraging United States manufacturing, I support it even though it definitely is going to affect the way the company I work for does business.

Don't get me started, lol. An IRA that I inherited from my mother when she passed has lost several thousand dollars since the announcement of the tariffs. First noticeable dip since I inherited it a few years ago.

An IRA ????? do not know this term
Will Trump have to pay a tariff on the 747 that the Qatari Govt want to give to the Trump Foundation ????
Oz

What is an IRA and how does it work?
An IRA, or Individual Retirement Account, is a tax-advantaged retirement savings account that offers tax benefits, including income tax-free or tax-deferred growth - which can help your retirement savings grow faster than it would in a traditional savings or investment account.

The 747 is being given to the United States Department of Defense Not the Trump Foundation!!!

"Free Lunches"
AND
"We are from the gubber-mint and are here to help"

Two of the most fearful situations! :Pray:

PAY BACK for all the lives and $$$ spent over in those hell holes over the last 100 years!

I see , Thank you Cannon51 for explaining , we have what we call Self Managed Superannuation , it supposedly has tax benefits but the amount of time and work you have to put in off-sets any perceived savings

Sarge , it was reported over here that the 747 was going where I said , we will see

Typical lying media as usual.

This is what they have to say

I don't look at it as a gift.
I see it as payment for saving their asses from Saddam Husein in the first Gulf War.
Do you expect Great Britain and the rest of Europe to follow suit with forms of gratitude for WWII?
Still waiting........ZZZZZZ
HAH!! Not the joke of the day, just my :TwoCents:

Nobody In the US trusts the word Of CNN. They Have established themselves as liars so I stand Behind My statement about typical Lying Media

X2, I fell the same way. No credibility whatsoever.

Just a question ,
In what context did they get busted for lying
1 reporting general news
2 reporting on the Federal Govt
3 reporting on State Govt
4 some other area of News reporting
I know Journalists can embellish stories for their own benefit/credibility or personal beliefs but a whole network ?
I know trade-offs are made between the interviewer and the interviewee particularly in Politics , they are only allowed to ask the positive/affirmative questions anything negative is not allowed or access by that Journalist is severely curtailed
Just curious

CNN claims = False News

General News about Covid: We Now Understand Most of what the Previous Oval Office (46th Administration) Claimed and CNN Clammed were False

Border security: False. CNN just repeated what the 46th administration said. They never bothered to go to the border and actually report

They have established their political bias against anything brought up by the US Republican Party, claiming it all was propaganda, which has all turned out to be true and not propaganda.

Furthermore, they refused to report on the 46 slipping mental capacity until just recently because they know they screwed up trying to gain credibility back.

Nobody trusts CNN in America. The list is endless as to the falsehoods they have reported. in the Last 10 years

This thread is going to start a fight. It is done.....
