Tariffs taking effect

[AKIron]

No doubt there will be a lot of jockeying and negotiating in the coming months and years. Apart from being essential to an economy industry is also a national security issue for all nations.

You don't try to compete with cheap chinese crap by trying to sell cheap crap of your own.

You concentrate on makinig and selling better products. 

Sadly, harvard, in addition to teaching stupid concerning campus behavior, they have also taught businessmen to try to compete with a nation of slave labor.   

Morons.

A free country cannot compete with slave labor. If there is to be trade between them then tariffs can strike a balance.

Nvidia just took a $5.5 billion hit because they can’t send chips to China. Certain things need to happen for these companies to function properly.

But it’s inconveniently located on virgin ground in an unbeaten path. Besides, it’s on a intellectual page, much harder to find.

Bad timing for china's leader indeed. He is stuck between a rock and a hard place as far as business goes.

po·lit·i·cal

adjective
relating to the government or the public affairs of a country.

Obviously "tariffs" fall soundly into this category. Discussions of this type are obviously desired by some of the posters here. The prohibition of these goes back maybe 17 years? Another obviousity is the reason for this prohibition. Discussions of this nature inevitably become heated. That was/is undesirable by management. Enforcement may seem arbitrary since we have no feedback by the enforcers. This annoys people. Perhaps it annoys customers and potential customers less than the bickering usually found in political discussions. Perhaps not. My personal opinion is that direct personal involvement by the judges making clear what is and isn't acceptable would be less annoying. That horse left the barn though and may not be worth tracking down.
