Rest easy, the import tariff on UK guns was just increased by 50% to 15%....on top of everything else. This should correct our trade deficit with the UK????
We have a trade SURPLUS with the UK....this is piss poor policy....
....Don't let facts sway you though, thinking of you ....
Tariffs have hit myself and my clients hard, very hard.
I thought the facts say that you have adjusted and thrived. When conversation devolves, it's what you have written.
Some day, we will see a chief justice aoc, and the court stacked with ilhan omars, then what. Don't worry, the strategy applies to wider trade partners, and not just our favorites. Everyone feels the pinch of more expensive chinese plastics and pot metals.
What's your solution to tipping the trade scales away from big oil, to home town USA. Besides the pp knee jerk comments.
Turns out, thriving during the Trump administration has been quite difficult, not only for myself but for many other small businesses. See the large number of manufacturers that called it quits in 2025, as well as the stagnating economy. Supply chains are global these days, as are markets.
Trade strategy should be adjusted as needed on an individual basis, bi-laterally or in larger pacts that promote free trade, broader markets and a more unregulated business environment free of excessive and illegal government taxation.(conservative business 101)
The trade scales are favoring big tech, crypto and the elite while making it more challenging for small business and the consumer. Tariffs are not the answer, nor is a trade war with our allies. Free trade is far more benefcial.
PP knee jerk comments? You are losing your marbles you old geezer.
