Both. Everyone knows that the tarifs are paid by the consumer. But their power to alter perception, giving them unprecedented power, like the bluntest of instruments, the battering ram. How? Because the tariff tips the playing field.

Not all of us grew up with access to perfectly level playing fields. When the terrain sloped, one team had a natural advantage. As kids out only solution was to switch directions. Even in sports today, they still apply this correction.

Since the 1990s when Dumbocrat Bill Clinton cranted China and other "less developed countries" "MFN" status, they've used it to exploit our markets. We gave away the terrain advantage.

Mr Trump's tariffs are tipping the field part-way back to level.

I know, right now, it seems that tariffs are the entire agenda, I've been reading between the lines and see that they are not. We're making up for lost time and money hopefully planning the steps we need to get back to fair competition.

I can see at the end of that process a remaining reciprocal tariff of 1 or 2% on items any pair of entities produce.

We need to figure this out now so that we can educate future generations properly. These times are ending and we must preserve time tested principles so that Mankind (consciously introspective Human beings) Continue and prospers.

I took the video and am doing the background.

Free trade does not work when we hamstring ourselves with environmental and social policies. If we think those are really important, we should take Milton Friedman's approach to involuntary servitude, and tariff appropriately.

Separately, I view the whole Trump tariff approach as aggressive saber rattling. It is described directly in his book, and it is working.

Free trade DOESN'T work when we hamstring ourselves from competing with environmental and social policies.

Yeah...One of my favorite movies is American Made, with Tom Cruise. It's dear to my heart because my dad got an offer to fly drugs, too. As far as I know he didn't take it...but he knew how it all worked. Haha. Anyway, I watched a documentary on the story behind that movie and in the documentary they don't mince words about Billy taking bribes to allow the aircraft to land there in Mena, AK. It's just a thread weaved into American history now, and he's still alive...Haha!!!

Ron Brown, DNC chairman and Sec. of Commerce.
Body found in the crash site with what appeared to be a gunshot to the head.

Your post reminds me of when a Clinton associate was killed in a plane crash (can't recall the name here) and Clinton attended the services. He was caught on camera smiling and laughing in conversation with the guy next to him, but as soon as he noticed the camera he switched to a somber funeral face. Busted. Typical Clinton.

Sounds like tough reading to say the least. I don't know if I could read legal documents without my brain shutting down. I've tried to read the "I Agree" or "I Accept" documents from various companies and just end up flipping pages to see how long they are. My recent brain food habit, which I do like, is to try to solve YouTube math problems in my head before watching the video. I do fairly well most of the time. Some are really tricky.

Edit add: I do read legal documents that pertain to me. For example, as a process controls programmer contractor (now retired), I read carefully any contract before signing on to the job. One document had a hidden clause that anything I invented (essentially for the rest of my life) belonged to them. I refused to come on board until that was removed. They did remove it.

I've taken a serious look and some tentative actions toward Parts-heimer's.
Free recall has been suffering for a few years ... pre-60. Methylene Blue seems to sharpen memory, yet I had onset of muscle stiffness after two weeks. Let it run for four weeks and discontinued two weeks ago. Muscles relaxed and memory .... damn, back to basics.... and then, it could be distractions of all the materials I'm reading.
Have taken on jurisdictional research of all branches of the military. Read entire USMCA Treaty of 2020, as it pertains to jurisdictions. Canon Law, half way through, also pertains to origins of law and jurisdiction. Aaaaand I'm getting ready to market a repair for heavy trailer axles, continental first, then international.

This is retirement. I challenge all 20 to 30 y/o to train for the occasion.

I still want to see the last act of Unintended Consequences come true. Henry Bowman, where are you?

Yeah. Interesting. Mike Johnson is part of the problem too. He's a scumbag, apparently. I don't fault my dark MAGA friends (I have a few of them) for keeping the faith. But, we've got an administration that appears to have made a deal with the devil. How much longer before some high-level predators get rung up? Looks like forever. Regarding the attack on the Davidians I specifically remember when Janet Reno finally said it was on her, the buck stopped with her. When Bill Clinton saw how much positive feedback she got from the public that had obviously been clamoring for ANY accountability he stepped out within a day or two and said that the buck actually stopped with him. It was so transparent that everybody laughed about it. But...that's where we are, or worse. The administration knows if they just can hang on long enough there will be enough distractions where this will become a minor irritant to their base. There will be a bombing of Moscow, some massacre in Gaza (what's left of it), or another attempt to claim that Obama's really gonna get in trouble for stealing that election all those years ago. Haha! Some of us won't forget it, though. Some of us have a line in the sand on this. I think the GOP is going to get its ass handed to it in the midterms. Sad, really. Next in the white house will be AOC or Gavin. Sounds farcical.....

I know you know your stuff, Commander, but for the life of me I don't understand why folks (including me) suffer some rather funny brain slips. I couldn't help pointing this out.

I will have to look for the Alistair Sim version as I have a love for the old time B&W movies. Hard to pick a favorite. Maybe "Dr. Strangelove" ranks pretty high along with "Casablanca" or a good ol' time western.

I watched my dad struggle with the schooling system for 37 years as an "educator".
John Gatto (I know I have the reference correct .... LOL) wrote Dumbing Us Down in 1995, subtitled, The Hidden Curriculum In Compulsory Education. Everything about the present social decay is related to learning.
My dad would speak, sometimes, in the progressive lingo of the day, but actions were always classic Liberal (definitely not Liberal in the present context).

In keeping with this posting, Pop did not understand monies or their origins. And then I dropped Creature From Jekyll on him. I have his copy with notes, cross-reference, bookmarks and his lived insights. After the first reading he stared at me for a few moments, took a deep breath .... "now, regarding chapter ...." and away we went. He was not afraid of dispelling belief. There was no social or financial stake at risk. The present School Board members are 6 to 1 vocational school teachers/admin. Determining what they know of this financial world will determine malignancy or malice. The vid you presented is one of the paths to look at the actual cases being processed and the relevance under my State as well as Fed law.
I also have input of three former board members and five from my County Board that are open to sharing/learning.

I can't believe I misquoted so poorly. I sure hope I don;t cross Marx and Rand like that in the future.
Thank you for bringing this to attention.
My preference was 1951 with Alastair Sim, though really bias toward black and white format.

I suppose I could be considered "More Aware" than most (because I see the "meta" of the game while watching the game).
I watched as Prayer was removed from school.
As spanking/discipline was banned.
As vocational schools shut down, shop classes removed. (Anything that taught ACTUAL Skills) was removed. [High Schools had Night School for Adults to learn typing, operating an adding machine. I know I was a student who helped teach Word Processing when it first became available on TRS-80s (Trash-80s)]

As I progressed through school, behind me the students were setup to fail as curriculums were watered down. (Comp Sci. We wrote our own Compiler, Our Own Assembler. Future classes would learn that they could be written, but leave it for the experts, only theory covered). Literally the 1-5 years behind me. I was an undergrad Representative on the "board" for those decisions, and I fought them.

Their answer: "We cannot fill the classes for Computer Science. it's one of the hardest degrees. If we don't do this we will have to close the program down, or literally join another department!"

Back in the day, it was part of the Math/Physics Departments. It spun out of there.

And then I watched all manner of "Man on the street" interviews, where everyone was dumber than a box of rocks. AND I REALIZED. They are NORMALIZING Stupidity, by making morons ACCEPT that "Nobody can name the first 3 presidents of the USA, or 5 countries, or the number of continents".

Our high school also had a "Store" run by the students. You learned how to run a store. Take inventory. Set Prices, buy supplies/inventory. Haggle/Negotiate. In Real-Time (we wrote the software they would use for Inventory Management until the program ended and a "vendor" took over).

And I watch it continue. Everyone is focusing on the Naughty Books/Horrendous Topics in school. But not why Common Core should be banned (or taken over by Government, and handed to someone like MUSK). Instead Gates is busy dumbing people down, making sure WINDOWS is the O/S in every school.

The Spunt is running in 2028 horse teeth and all. She is trying to be our first InstaPresident.

Mommydani will usher in a new wave of violence to NYC, and refuse to prosecute it. Bullies will run free, innocents in self defense will be punished.

I tell my Brother to GTFO of NYC before NIFO happens organically. He said if that thug is elected he's considering moving.

I say saw off the five boroughs and float it out to sea and sink it. Make sure the liberal rats drown and don't swim back to the land.

I have watched the remainder of NYS be gutted financially to feed the asshole of the northeast, NYC.

Not to be picky, but it was Dickens, not Shakespeare, who wrote "A Christmas Carol" with the three ghosts. My favorite movie of it was the George C. Scott rendition with his famous voice growling out, "Mr. Cratchet!"

So, let's step back just a little bit. The vast majority of the elected populous is not qualified to make any real financial decisions. They are taught, as they conscientiously take office, this is the way we've done it .... ad infinitum. They are comfortable within their respective "congregation". Remember Shakespeare; The Ghost of Christmas Present:

"They are Man's," said the Spirit, looking down upon them. "And they cling to me, appealing from their fathers. This boy is Ignorance. This girl is Want. Beware them both, and all of their degree, but most of all beware this boy, for on his brow I see that written which is Doom, unless the writing be erased. Deny it!" cried the Spirit, stretching out its hand towards the city. "Slander those who tell it ye! Admit it for your factious purposes, and make it worse! And bide the end!"

And so, is the ignorance malignant or malicious? There is malice within a few. The majority need to see the error of their belief and have an equitable opportunity to correct the behavior. But I pull no punches when I illustrate what penalties may be imposed. My County Board and School Board are not bonded. Their estates are at risk for malfeasance.
Self interest governs everything.

Nice. (and lol with the pockets).
You will be a great addition to comprehend the criminality and fraud these counties have perpetrated. DeSantis found that a lot of these counties/cities have been DONATING their money to LIBERAL causes.
FWIW, this is why he is threatening the Property Tax. It goes to the county, not to the state!

It's like people might be waking up!

I'm settling into home after 2-1/2 years of being on the road every other week.
I've already gained infamy with the school board by challenging them under Fed and State law felonious activity. Now I have the time to get into their knickers on this bonding issue. I haven't had so much fun since mom cut holes in my pockets.

Thank you

Here is the public side of that interview.

Can you provide me a link to Martenson? I need to look up case file and cross with WI law. I know I can file allodial on my land. My land is now unencumbered ..... no "consideration" owed. I must go through the records since Louisiana Purchase to show provenance. There are then Declarations, if made properly are not rebuttable. That which is not or cannot be rebutted in commerce stands as the truth or law. This is a maxim still observed, even by the corporate courts.

We're in the same book .... different pages ... kindasorta .....

Finally, in the context of property tax. Capital gains are not pre-taxable. Homestead Land is an investment. Ergo .... Also, School Boards initiate levies through bonds. There are supposedly people finding that these bonds have never been cured. A lot to unravel right now, but the rate of awareness and actions is increasing daily.

All excellent, but unfortunately it's the fourth one from the end for me.

Not holding my breath for anyone ever to be held accountable for anything, and I'll believe it only if I ever see it.
