Thoughts on USA for next 6 months?..........

both sides kind of suck,
But if trump moves forward with the tariffs all imports are not going to make a loss to sell us product, the end Comsumer will pay for this,

Last tariffs, cranks went from $550 to $750 then a year later now around $1000. Blocks went from $1200 to $2700 over night, my suppliers all blamed the Tariffs,

So if he gets Elected, i will most likely purchase a bunch of inventory and sit on it,

We need a reset button from the both sides,
This is all we can find, we are screwed.

Well not the pour or the rich, just the ones that make above 30K

The tariffs need to happen to equalize things and stop the bleeding of our core competency: inventing and manufacturing. Those unfair tariffs are what's screwing our ability to export. We propped up entire regions post-WWII and those trade "deals" are still going strong. Europe and Asia aren't struggling, time to even out the tariffs and let the actual free market decide.

As it sits, we're all forced to buy cam/crank blanks and other foundry items from China (and deal with the bullshit/IP loss) because we just don't have any in operation here. The tariffs increase the cost, yes, but they also decrease the incentive to offshore because there's a 2 or 3:1 tariff imbalance (cars, for example, are 25% coming here, 40% going there).
 
How can you not support abortion, we are producing more dump azzes in the world today, they should have you take a IQ test to have a child,
Having a child in HI school, so many parents do not get involved, and so many kids float through school, I swear my kid is smarter than most of her teachers, honor classes are a joke, They are not even that hard anymore,
All both sides talk about is fuel prices, If they don't start focusing on Education then we will be in a rabbit hole for every. to many entitled people that just want stuff handed out,
 
Because it is an election year and our choices are limited, I am very much doom and gloom right now. The rhetoric in everything is negative. That being said, never lose sight the media is here to make money, so they will continue to play both side of the aisle to drive viewers.

On the business side, you have to be hiding in a closet the last 6-9 months if you haven't seen a downward trend in retail and construction. Free money is gone. You can't refinance as well and do home improvements or go buy the SxS as easily, no more equity-based dollars in the marketplace. On top of that, many business's thought they were doing everything right due to the cash flow, and now either competition or lack of business is killing them. Get ready for more Bankruptcy's. I truly think we are going to see a lot of consolidation in the marketplace, won't matter who the President is..............
