With 125% tariffs, will the e-bike market die?

I like to remind a couple of evangelical people I know whenever they comment about trump winning the majority, that a certain guy 2000 years ago had a majority say he should be crucified. Majorities don't always know what's best
Probably not a good example . It was supposed to happen as prophesied , just as you see the condition of the world today before he comes back for his church . Make no mistake , Christ is returning , and every knee Will bow . The good news is that he loves each and everyone of us , and if we seek him he will absolutly answer.

Well we know the antichrist showed up.
 
Definetly unconventional.

For those that are not aware, Trump was not on my list of favorites for Presidential candidates. I agree with his "what", but not necessarily with his "how". We are fortunate to be able to take advantage of the upcoming (whenever it happens) market rebound.

For those that are truly concerned, sorry you feel that way.

For my Canadian buddy, as I recall you are in Vancouver. We'll be in Vancouver for a cruise departure in May; should I wear a red, white, and blue bandana or can you all pick out USers without?

It is probably better if I drop out so you all can put your blood pressure cuffs away.

Back to Ebike Tariffs.
He was on the top of my list , still is for most of us. As for this teriff thing eh , time will tell on that . But common sense tells me that we better bring some of this stuff back home . Too many of our polititions have gotten rich selling this country out .

You will be most comfortable wearing whatever you like, sans Drumpf paraphernalia...
 
The present data of world ocean shipping container shipping decline will preclude tariff effects in America because some flow is diverted currently to other countries.
During the fourth quarter of 2024 overseas production increased and subsequent exporting of goods to 'beat the tariffs'.
News today is 'Europe Gains Goods over US'
OK
Buy Away Euros
However the Real Life reaction to inflation (Four years rampant Groceries Remember?)
and tariffs is
"Save Your Money"
 
US elections are too long, basically it starts up the day after the election with raising obscene amounts of money from special interests. Elections should be limited to 6 or 8 weeks and special interest money should be illegal in my opinion. SCOTUS got it wrong on the Citizens United ruling in 2010.
 
Trump is already talking about dropping the Tariffs, this will all be yesterdays news in a week.
Hopefully everyone bought so they can ride the market back up. Don't forget to send a Thank You note to Don.

Take profits in a few weeks so you can play the next trick.

Yeah, never mind the hundreds of thousands losing their jobs. Screw the people who were going to try and retire in the next few years with their evaporating 401k.
To hell with the vets, and all the seniors health benefits/needs.
"Doesn't affect me", so who cares...
 
Personally: retired, 70 years old, have a 401k, collect SS, on Medicare.

My actions you responded to help old farts, not hinder. Also will help younger folks.
You are welcome to explain how you are helping. I don't think the hundreds of thousands out of work can hear or see you.

Was speaking of the actions I take so I can say that what is going on is no big deal. Others can do the same.

My intent was not to imply I am physically helping anyone, just that (with the exception of vet and loosing a job) I am in the same circumstances as those you describe as "I don't care about".
