We are all concerned about this issue. If we can't discuss what's important to us, what's dear to our hearts, then what is the point of a discussion board?
To summarize what I said in my last post: something's gotta give. We QRP hams are not the only ones in trouble, if these tariffs continue. There is going to be BI PARTISAN PAIN and *both* political parties are going to be forced into action.
America is in no position to build up electronics component MFG from nothing, after having no such facilities for decades. The same goes for MANY other products. Americans are NOT prepared for decades of reduce/reuse/do-without and general pain. Not in 2025.
You might convince me to tough it out for the greater good -- but I know for a fact I'm outnumbered in present-day America.
THEREFORE, this whole economic tariffs "nuclear option" has got to be short lived in duration. I think if we can ride out this disturbance, we'll all be fine.
