Playing Chess with Tariffs. Well, at this moment, we have tariffs flying in and out-- A frantic display of minimal planning wielded by outrageous power. In the latest round (4th?). electronics are spared the tariff-tax, While our farmers and their products are left in the fray. Interesting that our leaders spare electronics, While leaving farm products and food on the shelf (or not) To languish for our population-- Are we really able to ingest electronics? Our addiction to the latter, may starve us with neglect of the farmers! Frank Maurer 13 April 2025 1210 Hours.
