We just had a cogs price implementation cause us to go up on prices in December and had planned a second one in May. We are now looking at 2 more by year end. Of course these are the first in 3 years, but still it is amazing and a good sign. We are booming with business Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Businessmen want to meet their goal, it can vary but it’s usually to make a profit. For once in a LONG while the US is led by a man who isn’t entering negotiations hoping to be fleeced.

Other counties have already outlined a retaliatory strategy to have maximum political affect. Europe is targeted orange juice from swing state Florida, bourbon from Kentucky, motorcycles from Wisconsin, and Mexico, Canada and South Korea are going to target food that hurt American farmers. Everyone loses in a trade war Trump apparently just did this after after a meeting and because he was frustrated over Kushner, Hicks and the many other scandals he is drowning in. No policy papers, no real discussions, he just vomited out his decision to the press out of frustration. Not fit to hold office! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you mean "countries" but mistakenly posted "counties?" "Europe is targeted orange juice?" You then post a theory that what this goof said was a temper response, and claim it as fact.

Of all the posts on this page, Tiberius's was the only one with actual facts in it; the rest are speculation or extremely bad "jokes." Every post before Tiberius's had typos in it, as did the posts after. Why not go after those? Nor did he "post a theory" as he was clearly referring to reports of the developing story; either way, concluding that he was "claim[ing] it as fact" is a leap considering the way he included "apparently" as a qualifier. Even if we take Tiberius's post in the worst light possible, it is still far more considerate & coherent than row_33's drive-by graffiti on his best day. I don't know either of you, nor do I care, but typos can be chalked up to mistake. Harder to find an innocent explanation for your post, though. It's just some lame ass "shoot the messenger" bullsh*t. Quote A European Union official said that the bloc had been preparing for the announcement for months and that everything was in place for a swift, proportionate response. The measures were intended to put pressure on politically sensitive areas, trade analysts said. Harley-Davidson motorcycles are made in the home district of Speaker Paul D. Ryan, Republican of Wisconsin. Orange juice comes from the swing state of Florida. Restrictions on Kentucky bourbon could add pressure on the Senate majority leader, Mitch McConnell, who is from the state. Retaliation could hit hardest in many of the rural communities that were strongholds for Mr. Trump. Farmers are among America’s largest exporters, and often become a target in trade spats, said Darci Vetter, the former chief agricultural negotiator for the United States trade representative. She said the agricultural community was “rightly nervous” about the prospect. https://www.nytimes.com/2018/03/02/us/politics/trump-tariffs-steel-aluminum.html Quote According to two officials, Trump's decision to launch a potential trade war was born out of anger at other simmering issues and the result of a broken internal process that has failed to deliver him consensus views that represent the best advice of his team. On Wednesday evening, the president became "unglued," in the words of one official familiar with the president's state of mind. https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/white-house/trump-was-angry-unglued-when-he-started-trade-war-officials-n852641 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
