    Are iPhone prices safe? Phones, computers, and chips are now exempt US tariffs

    Is this good for business? I was looking forward to nobody getting any n phones.

    Why were you looking forward to this?

    1) People spend too much time being propagated by their phones and
    2) Big tech wants people glued to their phones and
    3) I enjoy watching big tech, Democrats, and other elitists squirm like worms being stuck on a hook.

    For someone who claims to like/dislike this/that because they are a "Christian," you sure to like watching people suffer a lot more than I would expect a Christian to.

    Democrats? They're not suffering. It's just that we're getting justice.

    Oh, Democrats are suffering.

    Their party is collapsing. Their grafts have been shut down. They are worrying about losing their livelihoods when Elon investigates where they got all their money.

    But most of all, they are losing their wealth and power. And for an Elitist to have no money or power is the biggest hurt of all.

    Well ok, you're right. So let me clarify to Mike my excuse for enjoying this while I am in fact a Christian:

    It's not their suffering that I'm enjoying, it's the justice that I'm getting that I'm enjoying.

    (Fixed it!)

    I don't wish torture on them. It was just a metaphor that I used. They're squirming, but the sharp object is justice for the American people (at least for the American people who enjoy being protected from foreign terrorists.)

    After years of being told we were "conspiracy theorists" or "ignorant", etc. It's really nice to be vindicated.

    How did you shift from tariffs to terrorists?

    The Democrats and their trained monkeys are squirming for a variety of reasons. Tariffs, the next census count, the number of Democrat reps in congress, not being able able to run redundant offices, etc.
