I'm not going to be boxed into a stupid game - Increases from where they are today and a continual growth in those areas.

But we are already seeing indicators that US citizen employment is increasing under Trump and manufacturing coming back is going to be a mssive driver of that.

Whats "roaring"?

I would assume 5% better would not qualify. Tell us what we will get with all this activity.
 
As I talked about earlier about the price going up of Traeger and some of the other products I've seen (can't wait to see how destroyed plastic bags get)

Got an email from Anova about them increasing prices. I know one of my favorite D&D companies is going to have a price hike. I'm going to assume thermoworks also will go up in price just because of Trump hating good products.

But thethe insures me that prices won't go up for anyone.

BTW strongly recommend if anyone is looking to get into Sous Vide buy an Anova Precision Cooker Pro now. It's on sale for 200 bucks and who knows if it ever will be again.

Thethe will post every headline from zerohedge and unusual whales

He will ignore every other headline to exist
 
Love the escalation against China - Its been incremental which is great because it outs China over and over again as unreliable. The free world sees it.

I get places in southeast Asia have to straddle both sides because of the military threat that China poses but in reality they will all negotiate something much more favorable to the US than currently exists.

You do realize this hurts american brands right?

I understand your view is hyper simplistic. But these Chinese factories will start selling similar but legally distinct versions of American products cutting out the middle man and undercutting them. China is the greatest assembly force in the world. Cutting that out of your economy is stupid.

Dont' worry - When that happens in scale the tariff rates will just go to 400% and then non-tariff barriers will be installed.

We either let China get to AI/Robotics supremacy (by funding their reserach/building) and go to war with them in 10 years and lose or we cut the head off the dragon now.

Of course they've shown no signs of that.

The CCP has been planning world domination for decades. The goal is to gut the world of manufacturing / build up their military integrating AI & Robotics / then flip a switch and go kinetic while cutting off the world of their goods.

I'm sorry the loser L's don't see this and only care about CHEAP GOODS!
