    tariffs -

    This from the boating industry...... a parallel industry
    https://www.apnews.com/6a75521f5ba6493c9baee68b2a1fc7f5

    I was hoping to see more actual information from others on how the tariffs are effecting them and NOT point fingers. Just the Effect of the tariffs.
    BUT I see we can't
    Disappointed.

    Jim, so you want to ressurect your original tariffs thread from last June. That you'll recall ended in the mods doing a lock out.

    Of course none of this comes as any surprise, at least not to me. This is exactly what happens with retaliatory tariffs. Companies lose sales and oodles of revenue and the poor shmuck workers who have no skin in the game, lose their jobs through no fault of their own except for the fact that they more than likely voted for the guy that has caused their demise.

    And one other thing, I don't agree that boating is a parallel industry to GA. Boating is very affordable to a greater number of people.

    It's Trump's fault we have huge trade deficits. Guess who will win a trade war.

    C'mon guys... There are a gazillion places on the interweb to talk politics. Why polarize an airplane site with this?

    I had so hoped that we could just talk about how the tariffs would effect us. I see that cannot happen.

    It's really tough to do. Those in favor of a political action will be less likely to believe the action has negative consequences, and those against it will be more critical.

    Want to get this thread locked? Because writing obviously uniformed and ridiculous statements like this is what gets threads like this locked.
    The opinions and statements of this poster are largely based on facts and portray a possible version of the actual events.
