I was reading an article about possible upcoming tariff's?
The article states electronics, things that we at QQ use, will go up significantly?
Buy now?

Well our future Dear Leader has promised tariffs. Maybe won't affect Taiwan, but most likely China, where many diverse imports come from, including critical rare earth metals for manufacturing a various array of electronics here in the States. In fact, I know that at one time China was the chief exporter of rare earth metals (think Lanthinum, Neodymium, mischmetal etc etc)
I know when he imposed Aluminum tariffs, he put companies out of business that relied on Aluminum imports from China.

But of course most people don't know/don't care about all that. Follow the leaders, they know what's best for all of us.

Pretty safe bet that at least some things manufactured in China will go up.

Yup. Too many don't understand that tariffs, while US protective, gets the importers cost passed on to the consumer.

Let’s see what actually happens. Think of the things we’ve all planned to do…and then reality raised its ugly head.

For sure. Promises mean nothing by some.

Regardless, my friend, here's my plan:
Keep living my life. All I can do, and we will deal with whatever as it comes.
