Post #12937 by sykesix on the Berkshire Hathaway board

If someone appears to be repeatedly personal, lean towards patience as they might not mean offense. If you are sure, however, then do not deepen the problem by being negative; instead, simply place them on ignore by clicking the unhappy yellow face to the right of their name.

IMHO the endgame is just what has been stated: stopping the asymmetric tariffs where other countries put a grossly high tariffs on US goods but the US has a low or no tariff on goods from them.

But that isn't true. USMCA (which by the way was signed into law by Trump) sets tariffs between the US, Canada, and Mexico at the same rate, with some minor exceptions.

Similarly, if a country is a member of the WTO, they have to extend the same tariffs to all other WTO nations, again with some minor exceptions. The notion the US is somehow getting singled out is pure fiction.
