One has to scroll down quite aways on that one.

Sure I'm well aware that these things keep oscillating. I'd have to do more digging in my plentiful notes where I try to keep track and on the web and all that, but I just don't have the time. I've spent all day yesterday and today and day before truth-checking the ADP report, then the BLS payroll jobs report, and then Social Security taxation on multiple threads each (every article is inconsistent with the others, but nobody gives a rats ass what the actual situation is, preferring instead to make ideological declarations), and meanwhile the piles of papers on the floor up to my ankles isn't getting taken care of, so I simply cannot get into where tariffs are at this exact moment on which countries from which old articles. I maintain that our tariffs on China at the moment are more than 10%. Call it a linkless assertion of opinion as fact, whatever.
