I had to do some research on that since I never heard the name.
Apparently here's a recent graduate..

As some of you probably already know.. I'm a Seiko watch collector.
So I keep tabs on what a NH-35 replacement movement cost, especially as after a while.. the watch needs regulating or replacing with a new movement.. and it was about $25-35 for a new movement.
As of May 1st.. the price has jumped to $60-85 for the same exact thing.
Thanks Trump!
While that sucks, I've been researching gear for a sim racing rig, today I learned the brand that was at the top of my list Asetek won't even be shipping to the US for the foreseeable future. So I don't even have an option to just suck it up and pay more. A few US sites do sell the brand, but when they run out they won't be getting any more shipments. So by the time I'm ready to actually buy, I won't even be able to buy it. And seeing how Asetek doesn't like what Trump's doing, I don't see them switching their stance here anytime soon.
Speaking is all that Rand Paul will do. He has the distinction of being the second least effective member of the Senate. Only Gym Jordan has a better record of being completely useless.A rebuplican finally decided to speak up.
Makes sense, I don't know enough about individual senators except a few to comment on their work.Speaking is all that Rand Paul will do. He has the distinction of being the second least effective member of the Senate. Only Gym Jordan has a better record of being completely useless.

I wanted to build a sim racing setup, I was looking at a wheel and base that would have been $1600. It went up thanks to Trump, and after the tariffs it would be about $2400 for the same shit. A MAGA used cult logic to respond with "the company just wants to rip you off now because of the tariffs" I never knew not wanting to lose money was a bad thing in business. The MAGAs think these companies are trying to take advantage and increase the prices far more than they need to. But oddly, they also all seem to be against places like Amazon listing how much the tariffs are on each item. If tariffs are a beautiful thing and will be good for the country, why wouldn't you want them listed for all to see? I'm curious how $1600 worth of shit can jump $800.
If I'm to believe the press release Fanatec put out (the sim racing company) they didn't want to increase prices, but due to tariffs they had no choice. And they increased it so their prices would match their profits pre-tariffs and not to make more money. That's a huge jump to keep the profits in line with what they were. And apparently, this is what's gonna make America great again. A few other idiot MAGAs replied to my comment saying I should buy American here. Welp, there's no American company that makes sim racing gear here except 1 bespoke place I found, and they charge like $5k.
No Deals Donny ...
Wouldn't it be funny if the rest of the world puts sanctions on us.. that until MAGA is gone.. they won't sign deals with us since they're not even worth the paper they're written on.
Bless your heart…Speaking out, even if nothing else, is still effective. It will embolden others to grow some balls as well.
Nothing short of economic catastrophe is going to save us from the GOP and right wing authoritarianism. Accordingly, I am strongly encouraged by the news of these ridiculous tariffs. To wit:
While about half the cars we buy are foreign made, at least the other half are manufactured in the US, right? Except the tariff is also on parts, 25% on imported parts. And, of course, 40% of the parts in US made cars are imported. This in turn will increase the retail price of the average US manufactured car by ~$4,000, while the foreign made will increase by more.
Remember all those swing voters who voted for Trump because of "inflation under Biden"? LOL welcome to a serving of Trump's shit sandwich, morons.

Peter Navarro: We're going to do 90 trade deals in 90 days, watch
That was 21 days ago.
WELKER: When does it become the Trump economy?
TRUMP: It partially is right now. I think the good parts are the Trump economy and the bad parts are the Biden economy
LOL! Time for a nap Grandpa!
