Tariffs and sky high audio prices.


With the Chinese tariffs taking hold on 100% of the imports and maybe even on Mexico forthcoming, the audio industry is going to see another big jump in their sky high prices. Anyone making purchases ASAP to get lower prices from existing inventory before post tariff products enter the marketplace?

I think that the administration is simply making turmoil in order to manipulate markets for its own aggrandizement. It's good to be the king.
I've always felt that too. The volatility of the markets (TARIFFS included) is making some people very wealthy. Bet on shorting something and you can make bank. If you're in the policy making orbit and share it with your family and friends, then Bob's your rich uncle.

As Eric Trump said, "this is a game to us."

The US is numb to many bad things these days.   Crime, shootings, corruption, you name it.

As I recall, it all started with this guy:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Morton_Downey_Jr.



Once upon a time, many years ago, back in 1961 a man of power and influence said, "And so, my fellow Americans, ask not what your country can do for you; ask what you can do for your country. My fellow citizens of the world, ask not what America will do for you, but what, together, we can do for the freedom of man".


It would seem that since then, individual selfishness has resulted in the will of the minority taking precedence over the will of the majority and has resulted in political parties caring more about the power of the party than the good of the people.

Some would say that this is just history repeating itself...that this is the fall of the Roman empire all over again.  It is hard not to fear that all may soon be lost (from the standpoint of America as a symbol of power being used for the good of all people) if we are unable to change our direction...both as individual people and as a country.
