Good. We don't need any woke tourists and left-wing indoctrination
movies.
What is a "left wing indoctrination" movie?
Rambo?
The Terminator?
Captain America?
Hacksaw Ridge?
Band of Brothers?
Patton?
Rocky?
The Patriot?
Flags Of Our Fathers?
Memphis Belle?
Pearl Harbor?

| You might think that we have so few steelworkers because we

| was a temper tantrum after the Court of International Trade

It's ironic that you wander off topic to talk about movies but I'm the
one with the comprehension issue (in that tiny brain of yours").

Uh....yeah...
Eyeroll.
Oh and I forgot -- are you going to be happy to pay 30% or more when
you go to the movies or that much more for your cable bill?
Why would my Internet bill increase?
Because of tariffs which increased infrastructure costs that get passed
along to consumers. FYI, there are debates amongst economists on how much
of tariffs get passed along, but the gist of their debate is if it’s 100% .. or as low as 97%. Pragmatically, this is an academic debate on
precision, because both their upper & lower limits are close enough
together to not make any effective difference for consumers: it’s close enough to “all of it” to not matter.

They increase, because the carriers can do it.
And now they have an excuse. "Tariffs have driven up the cost of infrastructure components including servers and processors."

OMG!
I would hate to go shopping with you hh.
Do you analyze down to the least significant bit everything you encounter?
You turn simple, logical, common sense topics into long numbers oriented stats.
As for Internet bills increasing, it's the same as it has always been.
They increase, because the carriers can do it.
And that's especially true in areas where a single carrier has a monopoly. The short answer is, they get away with what they can soak the customers for.

They want more government on their terms, and less government when
it affects their terms.
Lately, "their terms" seems to reduce to "owning the libs" or controlling women.

Laughter!
No country is stupid enough to cut off the US markets.
Meanwhile...
" President Donald Trump announced a long-awaited trade agreement with
Japan on Tuesday night, a framework between allies and major trading
partners that appeared elusive just weeks ago.
�I just signed the largest trade deal in history; I think maybe the
largest deal in history with Japan,� Trump said during a reception
with Republican members of Congress Tuesday night.
�They had their top people here, and we worked on it long and hard.
And it�s a great deal for everybody.�
The deal will see US importers pay 15% �reciprocal� tariffs on
Japanese goods exported to the United States. But importantly for
Japan, the 15% rate will also extend to automobiles and car parts -
putting it at an advantage over other major vehicle exporters, which
have faced a 25% levy on automotive sector exports since April. "
