Tariffs a question from a UK resident.

Build your own drone, provided you can get STM32’s to base them on. Maybe bigger size so they can be powered by fossil fuels since lithium batteries will also be excessively expensive.

I want to use a Mr. Fusion so I only have to refuel every six months or so.

So many people who are quick to panic and listen to mainstream news and expect to understand it all. The main stream are only giving one side to make all the tariffs look tragic for the man in the street.

If you had bothered to study tariffs in the past, you would have noticed that it is always gloom and doom each time, at the start, but everything has always settled down after a few months and it all goes back to normal.

I have not spoken to a single person yet who really is aware of what tariffs the USA have been paying to other countries for their goods being sold there. They don't seem to understand that the US has only been imposing percentage amounts that come close to or equal what these other countries have been charging the USA all these years.

India for example, charges 400% tariff on all American cars going into their country. Kentucky Whiskey has a 400% tariff when it goes into Canada for sale. I believe Canada charges the USA 250% tariff on dairy products being sent/sold into Canada. I'm assuming all those reading here have been aware of these tariffs on USA goods being sold abroad/overseas?

One need not rely on the mainstream media for information about tariffs or anything else. Just listen to the flimsy rationales the executive puts forth at those staged proclamation-signing ceremonies in the oval office. They're not filtered by any media; they're straight from the horse's mouth, so to speak. "We're victims, we're being ripped off, everybody's taking advantage of us, nobody else pays their fair share, we're overrun by criminals and terrorists, anybody who disagrees is guilty of treason, blah, blah, blah..."

I'd hate to go through life thinking that everyone is an adversary who's preying on me. It must be a miserable existence.
