I sure hope we come out on top in the end, but I think having solid competition from China will light a fire under our butts to get moving with space exploration. If nothing more it'll bring back the "we have to do this first" attitude that we had during the first space race.


Most of the golden age of space exploration was during the 50s, 60s, and 70s, when there was strong competition from Russia. Since that has gone away things have kind of stagnated.

Time will tell, as it stands China is being stubborn, but they will get hurt the most, that said anything we buy from ebay under 800 dollars is exempt until May 2nd, hopefully China will have made a deal before then.

Beginning May 2, 2025, eBay will no longer exempt goods from China and Hong Kong from duties, even for low-value shipments.
End of De Minimis Exemption:
The current exemption that allows low-value goods from China to enter the US duty-free is ending May 2nd.

Maybe the markets will start to really dip over the next week or two, but they will recover and then some and after Trump works his magic the markets will show the highest numbers ever, start working on your excuses now.
 
This is today paul, everything you ranted about earlier has just about recovered.

The Dow just closed down more than 1014 points for a 2.50% loss. The other markets are down farther.
 
In order to sell high, you need to buy low, Thank God for big swings, investors with any skill at all are loving this market.

Novice investors who simply buy and hold may feel perplexed, but have no fear, the market will grow higher and higher year after year on average.

Trumps tariffs will restore a fair trade balance, Trump will win. Americans will win, TDS suffers will squirm in their skin and that makes me Grin.;)
 
eah, there are now questions about Trump's insider trading. He even told peopke to invest just hour before he paused his tariffs that brought the markets up yesterday.This is, by far, the most corrupt presidency in history. Unfortunately for Trump, he cannot stop the recession he started by this trade war.
 
The SCOTUS has just ruled that Kilmar Garcia, who was illegally deported to El Salvador, that Trump must "facilitate" his return to the U.S.
