You don't know either. You just believe a theory that the consumer always pays.

Yes, I do know, and so does anyone else that's take a single economics course.

The logic that leads to Hilary being able to get away with multiple murders but not beating Trump in an election is shocking.

More illogical is Hillary was not clever enough to steal the election from Trump, but sleepy Joe was.

There will be millions who go to their grave believing Trump's lie about 2020 being a stolen election.

Regardless if you thought an election was stolen (or rigged or whatever) I cant imagine anyone thinking Joe Biden had much of anything to do with it. That seems crazy.

OK, so the importer remits the tariff to its nation’s customs service, but who really pays the tax on imported goods? The answer, I am sorry to say is, it depends.

I don't think Biden was part of it either.

Some believe Biden got the most votes in history before and after. That seems unlikely, so what other explanations are there?

I guess I didn’t take it as those things all being definitively connected to each other but rather a number of happenings that could reasonably be tied to the dark world of Epstein and associates.

That said I can’t read the first sentence of that post in hindsight and argue that your interpretation of it isn’t also reasonable.

There is a quote from Robert Downy Jr in Tropic Thunder that would be sage advice for a few on this thread. IYKYK

Send the bill to jimh406, he says you don't pay tariffs as a consumer.

Just curious are there American made drones? If so are they inferior quality or lack certain features that you require?

Of course, I never said that, but if the line item wasn’t there, who paid for it?

Yeah. Nobody thinks eat ice cream, nap, and sniff kids Joe was the mastermind of anything.

Yes to both.

I just purchased a new Four Wheel Camper. I was pricing 2025s at the time and there was a tariff line item.

When I ordered mine late in 2025, before another price increase October 1, and knowing it wouldn't arrive until February I just got the 2026. They decided that the tariff line item wasn't a great look, so they just added costs to the build for 2026 and removed the "tariff" language. Apparently it didn't go over well for the '25s.

I just went through this exact same thing. Ordered a new spray drone and had a tariff charge of 7%.

My point was that there's a seemingly huge sector of the population that has been convinced that big media is all lies because it has lied in the past. Yet damn near every other alternative media people have turned to is just as bad, if not worse. Mainstream journalism still has plenty of professionals who find self-worth and value in doing a good job, just like any other profession.

If you really want "good" journalism, you need to pay for it. @Big Fin has mentioned it time after time: you get what you pay for. If you're tuning into a free podcast, you get your "news" - to get the real dope on a situation - you have to recognize that you are the product. The news is not the product; the host/author is selling you to its advertisers. That system only works if it can drum up enough shock and awe to have a lot of listeners. Versus, just pay for your news, then you remove yourself as the product and put the news- the journalism - back as the product.

Think about that for a second.

Oh trust me, I've thought about it a shitload. I disappointingly think about it all the $*)Q!#@$ time. To the point where it's unhealthy, and I really just need to get the #*^@#* off the internet and stop being constantly reminded of it. My analogy is no different than people who claim Trump is an idiot, but is also capable of these complex mind game denogiations to line his pockets. He can't be both. She's CLEARLY not a higly capable person, no matter what FB or your favorite podcast claims. She's a powerhungery naccists who overplayed her hand. Honestly, I can't think of anyone in modern politics closer in temperament and ability to Trump than Hilary; he was slightly more successful, and she was a better speaker, but they're the same person.
