So let me get this straight (tariffs) [View all]

So we are supposed to believe that the United States is collecting hundreds of billions of dollars in tariffs per year according to data that I’ve seen released, 28 billion last month alone. At the same time corporations and businesses are apparently eating billions in profits as the regime is saying the inflation isn’t increasing. Short term I could see this being the case as they are trying to see where policies go long term, or trying not to upset the child king and get on his bad side and on the outs on sweet heart deals. So even with profits apparently getting eaten up, the stock market at the same time is sitting at all time highs. Amazing that all of these things have apparently happened together, and if you believe it I e got some ocean front property in Arizona for you.

I actually don't think this will be a crash. I think it will be a slow inexorable slide. Scrivener7 Jul 2025 #8
