Tariffs and sky high audio prices.

Nonoise, I just enjoy your colorful and articulate language.
Problem is that in my impression most participants, whatever their political inclinations, don't care about anything but significant selves and their wallets. First there came pilgrims pioneers and other real people, then Yankee descended and methodically have been transforming the way this place functions. We have the result of that. It is not New World any more, it is the old one in a new land. If you want an example of repetition you have it.
I suggest America threaten Canada with nuclear hit to get a better trade deal. We are being robbed by everyone. 

And I have a message for the Australian mate. You people sell yourselves to Chinese big time, you treat asylum seekers like animals and this is not your land anyway - that land belongs to Aborigines. Change or get out.

Most of the parts are made in China so expect all Audio Equipment to go up in price..
American made actually means "assembled here" of Chinese parts..

Original spirit of America is independence. Instead we more and more have the opposite. Independence is worth paying for, including with dollars.

Thanks for the props. I concur with your assessment on how this country started and where it ended up. There's some good history on what parts of the eastern seaboard were controlled by which parts of England they came from and the dust is still on their shoes, so to speak. 

They held no brook for those who came later, forcing them inland, and they too can be traced back to their original lands, along with their belief systems. Saying it's a old world in a new land nicely sums it up. 

All the best,
Nonoise
