To happy to think of a title here

I won't have to admit anything since our GNP will tank, our national debt will go way up and millions of jobs lost because of Trump kidnapping.

This short article speaks of a positive side....Note that the stock mkt is unfazed!

Companies have more options to avoid and/or mitigate the impact of targeted tariffs (e.g., an additional 60% tariff on China origin products), including relocating production to countries that present lower tariff risk. The United States uses a subjective “substantial transformation” test to determine the country of origin of articles for purposes of these types of additional tariffs, so identifying which productions operations need to be moved is critical (i.e., country of origin analyses matter).
Increased tariffs will also generate opportunities for companies that produce in the United States, or that can move production to the United States. As tariffs increase, exporting countries and/or exporters to find ways to lower the prices of articles shipped to the United States (to try to offset some of the impact of U.S. tariffs). This may harm domestic producers, who could then seek to utilize U.S. trade remedy laws to impose further tariffs on imported articles to protect domestic market share. Also, companies producing in other countries that are harmed by trade diversion caused by heightened U.S. tariffs may also seek recourse under those countries’ trade remedy laws.

You think that, tell us htat, that is what the Forum is for. Let us stipulate that you think that Tariffs are among the many mistakes he will make and we will all be back to where Biden has put us. We get your thoughts on that.
There are many economists who think like you, you are not far afield. I personally think he would not get himself in a mess (He has had a ...[text shortened]... is over and over, he has not even started yet and I am not into predicting the future like you are..

Wow, you say on the one hand you don't know a thing about climate change or much of ANY science but now you KNOW Trump learns from his mistakes.
Let me guess, you are not an Earthling but from where? Mars? Venus? Europa?
As far as Trump is concerned, he thinks he makes NO mistakes, if something goes wrong with his stupid policies, the failures will be blamed on someone else, ANYONE else but Trump and SOMEONE will be thrown under the bus but NEVER Trump.

Question. You go long on posts, I am not sure what it is all about regarding pharma, that you are upset about, the price is low, don't get it.
Anyway, I saw a clip saying that RFK is going after Big Pharma, or some such. Is that not what you want him to do?

@sonhouse said
No I don't want RFK jr to go after anything. He is an elephant in a crystal collection.
He doesn't know what is doing, he has no training in medicine but spouts off anything coming to his head.
He said he was a heroin addict in college and I don't think an addict would change his stripes. Are you ignoring what I said, he wants to kill flouridation of our water supplies an ...[text shortened]... solute idiot AND RFK jr's own family thinks he is as nutty as a fruitcake and they grew up with him.

@AverageJoe1 said
I am not ignoring, you pepper fact with opinions a lot, together with predictions, really hard to follow.
Ok, the fluoride thing is not same as going after big pharma i guess.
For the record, he is more qulaified than Biden's housekeeper/VP, whom you voted on. I think I will write crazy like you do about THAT!!

@sonhouse said
RFK jr is more qualified than Kamala Harris? How do you quantify that for god's sake? She is a lawyer not medically trained and neither is that nutcase RFK jr. is a fuuking HEROIN addict and that is true, he said so himself.
So much for the former republican party, the party of law and order.
So now it is just FINE for heroin addicts to be in high government office, just l ...[text shortened]... en anyone reading his resume of failures and court cases would go FORGET IT, go back to your frauds.

I am a lawyer, managing partner for years before retiring. Let’s say she was a whiz throwing people in jail…..what about management, with all it entails? For the record, Trump can manage circles around anybody. She is not qualified, Sonhouse. But let’s forget her from now on, send her into domestic service. Point is, being a lawyer does not mean you have built-in qualific ...[text shortened]... , when he bares all before them! You might want to contact your senator, maybe get a sign to carry .

@sonhouse said
You ignore the fact RFK jr is a heroin addict. You also ignore the fact he has no medical training. BTW, now you say you are a lawyer, when and where did you pass your bar? You also said you taught economics, when and where did you do that?

@AverageJoe1 said
Ga and NC. Early years subbed in Econ-related law class, and Econ once a week in a high school, great time to learn it, imagine my analogies in THAT scenario. Have always worked w at-risk kids.
You do have a good point that RFK is heading up something that has to do with medicine and maybe that he’s not qualified. You may have me on that one. Interesting, he might not make it.
