  • Re: US PC prices could soar i

    Proposed import tariffs for the US could see PC costs rise as much as 46%, with smartphones also becoming more expensive.

    I'm down with it. I've been using the same PC for 6 years now and I'd be fin with going back to one of my old 32 bit PCs that are in the basement, if I h to.

    While some people might agree with me on that, here's another shocker: I don mind one bit if I had to quit using my cellphone. I never take it with me anywhere, unless I'm going on a long trip. Even then, I'll be the first to admit that I hate cellphones and I'd be fine with going back to the landline

    Especially if it helps President Trump accomplish his goals. His goals are m goals too.

    O'Biden left Trump's tarrifs in place and prices did not increase due to the tarrifs. They did increase, but it was due to inflation.

    I have no concerns at all about increased prices due to tarrifs because I don't think it will happen.

    My two cents on this topic.
