If tariffs dont raise prices….

You should. Especially so if it is about tariffs that I didn't support to begin with.
Any little thing. You don’t agree with most of what Democrats do, so…

This is my point, you are more anti-democrat than you are anti-Democrat ideas.

Nah, lets make it equitable. In this case I didn't care for tariffs, so lowering 2 is small cheese... So, let's say that Obama was in office and chose to make 2 small changes to the ACA that actually would have made that unaffordable mess very slightly more affordable, like by dollars, not really affordable just minusculely more so.... That would probably fit... Would I be "all over" him for that? I might congratulate him.

Obama is no longer in office. “Would have” has never occurred.

Dumbfuck
 
I can tell you that getting things shipped from the UK / Europe, no tariff involved necessarily, is grotesquely expensive mostly because of the UK and Europe. The bureaucracy is onerous.

I just ordered from Rimmer Brothers in the UK a pair of MGTF / MGF 240mm conversion brake discs (they fit perfectly on a Lotus Europa rear suspension to switch it to disc brakes.) These cost me in USD just a little over $20 each. Shipping after export duty, VAT, and whatnot, came to $93 USD and change.


Tariffs aren't the problem with the UK and Europe, bureaucracy and onerous laws there are.
Shipping is onerous overpriced garbage these days. Was much better a decade or so ago.
The Chinese have some kind of delivery system going that's much more efficient and cost effective.
True story. Bureaucracy and lack of competition has made shipping things total ass in 2025.
Used to could get a medium-sized something anywhere in the world in 3 days for a fair price.
Not now. Now it takes 2-3 days more and costs more than double. That's garbage.
Shippers are charging more than goods are worth.

Duh. The conversation that Jarod has brought here is about what I "would do"... So, I'm giving an example that would match this... Do you read the stuff I am quoting or do you believe my posts come out of the ether, like magical gifts?
 
You keep saying “more important topics”, but never specify. And what would those be, cultist?
Well, miniscule changes to tariffs that I have disliked from the get go are less important to me than me stubbing my toe, for instance.

I know that “woulda/coulda/shoulda” has never occurred. Obviously, that escapes you.
 
Thank you. I know that to you my posts drop from the sky like random bits of sage wisdom gifted from the ether and accepted greedily. You're welcome.
You’re a little topsy turvy. Your posts drop from your ass, not from the sky.

Jarod was asking what you would do currently, not some concocted “if Obama” bullshit. Is Hawkeye peddling you the same hallucinogens he’s been on lately?

Yea, those sneaky Chinese...
