re: Goldman Sachs says U.S. consumers stuck with higher prices even after SCOTUS tariff ruling

Crawfish prices are down from this time last year.

That should be the headline the gov leads with.

China was paying the tariffs

Not in that way.


They pay in the form of lost opportunity.

Biden’s Autopen’s best that you included was a continuation of first Trump term especially the first 3 months of January of 2021 when Trump was still President. 2nd Trump’s initial month or months was also more of a continuation of Biden’s Autopen especially the first few weeks of January which included one of his 3.0s.

From April 2021 through June 2024 Biden’s Autopen had months at rates at or above Trump’s worst month so far that was fully under his Presidency and usually well above. There has been no other time period like in at least the 21st century.

EDIT: Turning device to landscape mode can help with the above’s formatting. I tried to include it in a quote function, but that compacted it left to right too much even in landscape.
