Your statement was contradictory, what's so difficult to understand?

Show me one example where I called anyone names. I didn't even call you names when you deserve it more than anyone else on this entire board. I'm not little-miss-anything. You're just angry because you have no legitimate defense for the inaccurate, often horrible, things you post.
As to what I know, you show me one legitimate "professional" that can refute the examples, and definitions, I've given.

Lib is a common colloquialism referring to liberals, it's not nonsensical.

Like "woke" and "conservative", "lib" has lost its meaning through distortion.

I do love a spirited debate minus the scripted name calling from either side of the aisle
You obviously never got to see all their removed and/or edited posts.

Don't lie. It's ugly. Show one example, just one. I've noticed a tendency in you to just make things up. If you want to say I called someone, anyone, names, prove it. Tell me, and everyone else, what "name" I called anyone.
The posts of mine that were removed were ALL responses to the good folks like you who attempted to badger me into name calling and failed. The absolute worst thing I said was "grow a brain" to another poster, AFTER they had insulted me.
If you don't like me, or my positions, that's fine. You are entitled to your opinions. You don't need to lie and tell tall tales you cannot defend.

It is clear that most here don’t understand just how complicated the tariff scenario is. The company I work for, for example, won’t pay full tariffs. For some ingredients that we buy, we will pay the tariffs. For some, those are exempted. On some, The supplier will eat every penny. For some, we will share the cost. For some, we will find a supplier in the US., or a more tariff friendly option.
companies adapt. Maybe we will increase prices to our customers. Maybe we will move some of our production. Maybe we will stop selling some products. Maybe we will take a lower margin on some products.
Hey, I don’t like tariffs – most don’t. But, there are silver linings in higher tariffs. If you care to look for them, great, if not, great.

I am not lying. I posted you don't need to demean and insult people (especially farmalljr) and I quoted your post where you did so---both posts were removed (yours and mine where I quoted your post) so I can't show it now because it is gone.

You most certainly are lying, rather egregiously. You cannot cite the post(s) you are referring to because they don't exist.
You seem to be overlooking the fact that I get notifications when you do this. At no point did any mod ever state that I had called anyone names, or even anything remotely implying such.
You are another one that most assuredly would be worthy of a few choice monikers but that's not my thing, any more than lying is.
If you're feeling demeaned or insulted, that's on you. As I told your buddy, I am not interested in you, nor are any of the things I post directed at you...unless of course you come at me, at which point I will reply to whatever it is you're saying. If you are hurt by my responses, you have the right to not address me in the first place. I promise you, I will never attempt any sort of exchange with you.
At the very least you should be able to recall the supposed "name" that was called. I recall the last name I was called and that post is gone.

I'm not going to get into any back and forth with you, IMO you are too high strung for a rational discussion.
At 267 posts so far I think that sets a record for a thread about tariffs, so I'm not giving you the chance to blow it.

From reports I've heard the higher prices everyone will have to pay will start hitting in a few weeks. I can't help but think the tariffs will affect all ebay sellers for various reasons. I can't see the things I sell doing well if budgets get stressed.
Many in business are frozen in place without knowing from day to day what to plan for because of how things can change overnight. I saw a video of a small business owner whose product is produced in China and she fears she can't survive this. Her money is tied up in her product that is already paid for but is sitting in containers in China and she can't pay the tariffs to bring them here to sell. She said she will have to lay off her 5 employees and may lose her home. BTW--she tried to have her product made in Michigan, but no one here could reproduce the material needed, so her only choice was China.
