For people who care about things like fiscal sanity, accountability and transparency, it is a welcome restoration The Trump administration outshining its own stooges daily is the kind of tragic comedy you can’t make up.

Amazon pulled back that "threat" (by which I mean "disclosing the truth"), but the point has been made. I hope Amazon and more companies do this. The price impact of tariffs shouldn't be hidden. Unless Trump course corrects soon, we'll be seeing this a lot. 1 1
The Frankish Reich Posted 15 hours ago Author Posted 15 hours ago Reading the tea leaves in Trump's morning cup: - I see the White House trotted out ... PETER NAVARRO this morning. Ol' Pete is back. So that always spooks markets since he is, after all, Mr. Tariff. - Prediction: Bessent will pop up somewhere this afternoon or after markets close with some kind of phony "it's all a negotiations tactic, and we're really close" statement. Markets up later today or in after-hours trading. What fun. Trump has made this just like Bet MGM with tons of in-game betting options.
The Frankish Reich Posted 14 hours ago Author Posted 14 hours ago Tariffs also create something else economists hate: trying to game the system. Companies spending lots of time and money to try to minimize their impact like this: https://viewfromthewing.com/delta-beats-trumps-tariffs-new-airbus-jets-arriving-duty-free/ Delta's Airbus orders would be subject to a 10% tariff. So they take delivery of them in Japan and technically base them overseas so they are not taxed.

Is it a stretch to think Amazon benefited China more than the U.S.? I get the cheaper pricing point, like Wal-Mart did. But they’ve pretty much crushed …..everything here? Kind of a treasonous thing in a backhanded way. No? Edited 8 hours ago by US Egg
