DOGE has uncovered massive fraud
Apparently that is why the inspectors generals were fired first, since they were investigating problems at SpaceX and Tesla having to do with employee abuse.

Many of them are career politicians, never worked a day in their life in private industry.
That's probably a good thing. Government's job isn't to make money; its to do those things for the people that they can't do well on their own, like make roads.
All these crooks, regardless of political affiliation, need to be purged and investigated.
This statement is one I agree on! But the law (some of it being the Constitution itself, of which I'm a big fan), which has recently been broken frequently in this process, should be obeyed and those breaking the law punished according to the law.
They are successful business people, who understand how things work.
LOL!
Shouldn't they be versed in international relations and economics (stuff that relates to their appointments) rather than how to manage their inheritance? Demonstrably a lot of ignorance in the foreign affairs department right now.

From what I've seen, there seems to be this idea in the administration that tariffs are something other countries pay to us, which is incorrect. We pay the tariffs we impose. Essentially we are now seeing the biggest tax increase in the history of the country; this because since the last time tariffs at this level were imposed we didn't live in a global economy. Trillion$ erased overnight...

Time will tell if you are right. If the tariffs continue, I really want you to be able to tell me 'I told you so'!

In the meantime as a high end audio manufacturer I'll have no choice but to raise prices, since they are done to a formula rather than what the market will bear. We don't have the margins that you imply other manufacturers have; I didn't get into this to make money.
