Tariffs and sky high audio prices.

^^^

Oh, oh ... I don't know what that means. As stated in an earlier post, that stuff doesn't compute with me. 

Can we keep this thread alive by concentrating on inflation, the money issue and how they relate to the audio hobby? Sheesh!

I'm looking forward to the Long Beach show this coming weekend. Should be tons of new equipment there with outrageously inflated prices. Anyone else going?

Appreciate the fact that you guys want to discuss politics but this is not the place especially if you are bashing the President of the United States.
Please take the topic back to audio or this thread will be closed.

@admin

Understood and apologies. Quick question: It’s ok if we bash @inna isn’t it? Even HE would join in I’m sure.

In all sincerity, thanks for running such a great resource for us all.

I would agree that this has been an enjoyable discussion to follow. We have multiple knowledgable people weighing in on the topic and the level of discourse has been generally respectful and civil. Quite interesting how intelligent people can be given the same set of facts and interpret them so differently depending on their worldview and personalities.

Regardless of how one views the points discussed so far, I wonder how or if the two personalities at the fore of the trade dispute will resolve the matter.  Mr. Xinping has amassed more personal power than any leader since the communist party turned away from Mao style "cult of personality" leadership. If things go south under his watch, it will be much harder for him to spread the collective blame around. Two monumental egos with distinctly different agendas and time frames in which to act.

Admin, you da boss. What you says goes. 
No harm, no foul. 

All the best,
