Rachael Alice Sometimes it is hard to tell when DJT is joking or not. Senator Adam Shiff and others are investigating the Insider Trading. I'll watch to see what happens.

I am afraid to look online. I feel very unsafe about the monetary situation. I heard from a friend that hers went down by $6000. This is very worrisome. What do you think about it?

Rachael Alice @porwest That is the problem. So it might be good to do as Ghandi did and go back to making our own stuff at home if possible. They do sell seeds at the supermarket. .. And potting soil. . .

Rachael Alice @porwest If enough people stop buying a product because the tariff makes it too expensive, then their sales will go down. It might not be feasible for the business to import the raw materials, or the products and sell them for a reasonable price.

Rachael Alice @GardenGerty I agree with you. I am going to keep working as long as I am healthy enough, and I can find students online who want to take classes from me. Why retire? its boring and there is not enough money to pay all the bills.

Rachael Alice @porwest People still buy USA goods, it doesn't really matter, they don't feel it there are so many taxes on so many goods here, that one more doesn't make a difference. If a person wants quality, they will pay for it.
