Tariffs and sky high audio prices.

"...there was a 75th Anniversary of allied forces landing in Normandy two days ago. That was a bloody and decisive campaign."

There was a 75th anniversary of Monte Cassino just two or three weeks earlier. For some reason, that one is rarely mentioned.

Tariffs and globalization aside, it included many countries. From Poland, across India, to New Zealand and a few more to the South and West and in between. If it were not for Roger Waters, even Anzio would have a hard time finding its way to an average audiophile home, it seems.

Nonoise, it's a good way to put it.
So many Chinese people died in the war too. Japanese were savage, maybe at times much worse than Nazi. Now they are kind of nice making excellent steel and transistors and transformers and enjoying American jazz. I think, America should watch them all, there might be a repetition that must be prevented. Europe is quite turbulent at present.
Maybe "awkward silence" is not a bad sign, maybe what we are saying gives them a thinking regardless of what they might post next.

There’s a documentary about the 8th Air Force on cable (I think it’s HBO). It’s called The Cold Blue. Did anyone know that more airmen died than Marines? Of the 12,000 bomber crews, about 5,000 were shot down over Europe. Each B-17 held about 10 crew members. It never got above -20° and usually ran -60°. Frostbite took 10 minutes. It was like climbing Everest. Once a bomber started to spin your were doomed. Centrifugal force pinned you against the fuselage as you spun 6 miles to your death.

That is the price we paid for fighting fascists, which are whining about losing their spot on YouTube, Facebook, and Twitter.

Get with it people: you’re following a pied piper of the worst kind.

All the best,
Nonoise

I haven't read through this whole thread but from what I have read, there are some who believe that if you just buy American made you're not impacted. I'm in Australia and some American companies have increased their prices here because their parts come from China and that pushes up the cost. 

Someone else here wrote that the tariffs are paid for by the Chinese, not Americans. That's completely wrong. The customer pays. It's a tax on Americans. The idea is that Americans will prefer to buy American goods instead of Chinese if Chines products are more expensive but that doesn't work because so much doesn't even get manufactured in America anymore. China is the only supplier of so many goods, there's no getting away from buying Chinese made. 

When are people going to confront the fact that the POTUS does not know what he is doing??? He is like a wrecking ball in fully functional country. BTW yes pimbo you are correct! China is a very huge manufacturing country and that alone is going to drive up prices on American goods.
