Too complicated for me. We get a 10% tariff added to everything we ship through our ocean freight forwarder, which is based in California. We've applied for exemptions as we do not do business in California, no buying or selling, just transshipping through their wonderful state. We already have...

If aluminum is too pricey, we do signs on 16-18g galvanized sheet metal due to the humidity and weather here (plus the volcano gods avoid galvanized sheet).

You're embellishing a wee bit here. Nitpicking is the cornerstone of useless arguments on the internets, so let's tighten it up.

Depends on what the final price of a dozen eggs settles at.

This predates the President's current term, but it looks like high-tech stuff can be made here: https://www.gurufocus.com/news/2779329/amd-to-launch-usmade-venice-chip-at-tsmc-arizona-plant?r=caf6fe0e0db70d936033da5461e60141

Looks like the crises is starting to wind down. The President must have secretly lifted the egg tariff, maybe at the same time he carved out the cell phones & microchips. These cost $12.00 here just a few weeks ago:

Luckily our fuel cost is $5.00 a gallon, so driving to the store is discouraging, resulting in fewer trips - saving our egg money.

He won't, they still cost way too much to waste (about $12.00 USD a dozen here)

Last year, my son (Army) did a 9 month rotation in Lithuania. Before they moved, they were instructed to get off WhatsApp and switch to Signal to stay in contact with their families. I don't know if it was enforced (or how that would even be done), but we did not get any WhatsApp messages until...

I don't know. The more we learn about the last administration, the more it looks like the former President may not have made any decisions.

If this proves to be true, the President will have a few more security clearances to pull.

Even the dolphins wanted to be on hand to see the end of mission:

Two astronauts are safely back on Earth. Take all the politics out and it was a flawless mission. It is an amazing time to be alive when humans can do stuff like this. Love or hate the guys leading, but they are getting it done. Pushing us out into the solar system at a rate I would not have...

It looks like we tried this before in 1909. It seems to have had little effect on either side, so we gave it up in 1972.

It's getting serious now: https://financialpost.com/commodities/agriculture/maple-syrup-producers-fear-tariff-consequences It got me thinking of how to hook up with the Canadian Maple Syrup Cartels to get a fleet of tanker trucks to run the northern border and smuggle this liquid gold into the US.

My father and grandfather grew up working the oil fields in Texas and Louisiana. Whenever I would be griping about my life he'd tell me how they lived in a hillside cave for over a year. So I may have oil or Hobbit in my blood. I didn't have much of a comeback on the cave deal, so I appreciated...

I think I've got this:
