not currently, some components are only made in specific countries. I assume the utility will end up raising energy prices to offset the costs, since all contractors will be in the same boat
Probably so, it will raise prices across the board. That's not something you can easily kickstart production on.

But it's fine because we all know the importers will pay those price increases. Or wait no China will pay them my bad.

Senate will also be red, just confirmed.

I think that’s worse than Trump being President.

Good luck to my fellow Muricans and also Euros near the block. I lost hope for this country a while back but it’s good to know it’s a lost cause now for sure.

Seeing how it's 90% certain that Trump gonna win now
we'll have another demostration that screaming minorities aren't a majority just because they scream louder

Let's see if they don't kill him off now somehow. Like a bombing during the winning speech.

What would you say the positives are for the next 4 years of a GOP/MAGA led country (looks like president + senate + house)? You think the economy will go rip roaring away for most of it? Will the markets continue roaring to all time high after all time high? Will they give decent tax breaks to the middle class? Will they be able to improve ACA?

I understand there are a lot of negatives here… but what do you see them doing right?

It depends on the tariffs. I think what we can produce here will be stable, like NG and some other energy resources. I think taxes will probably go down overall all while inflation still rises. The dollar will be fucked. Food prices will rise because he will deport the workers who produce it. The goods the poor whites buy at Walmart will skyrocket and make them even more poor while they blame it on China.

As far as freedoms go, we’re pretty much all fucked. They said state rights but I don’t trust them at all. It’s going to become a Christofascist state eventually in the next two election cycles.
