Seems the increased tax revenue could be people offloading assets.

I'm sure I've mentioned it before but a mate of mine who had his own company had a system whereby if he received 50 CV's in the post applying for a job, he'd randomly pick out half of them and throw them in the bin. He reckoned it weeded out unlucky people.

OMG I hope he doesn't search mine.

Hamburgers and Coca Cola of course.

And yet inflation stands at 2.4% I'm not disputing what the fed say, obviously 'some' of the tariffs are going to go to the end user, but how are they running an inflation rate significantly lower than ours. Higher prices equals inflation. Something doesn't add up.

Rhodesia, the garden of Africa.

That's how I remember steak being served donkeys years ago in steak houses, before the big chains like Beefeater arrived on the scene. The fat was almost as enjoyable as the meat.

Not as long as I suspect you think. The main challenge is infrastructure, building new factories etc. Components and spares are a mere trifle. In the main they're talking about repatriating manufacturing that only left a few years ago. For companies such as VW who have manufacturing already...

10% global tariff?, isn't that about 10% less than the 20% VAT we impose on everything that comes into our country? Unless I'm missing something, that sounds like a better deal than we offer other countries? No?
