White House says Trump doesn't want to harm Apple and iPhone prices won't rise
I feel like a lot of people would love to understand finance better but don’t know where to start and find it daunting.danox said:
Civics, Health, History, Geography, Personal Finance classes should be required (along with the big three) every year after the sixth grade until you graduate from high school with personal finance again required the first semester after high school at whatever college you go to. Life after the Covid pandemic demands it. (Makes for a 8 hour day).Xed said:
And it's interesting because, just like the wall Mexico was going to pay for, he kept claiming that the importing country pays the tariffs. Did nearly half the people voting not take a civics class in middle school, or is that they never went to middle school, or didn't care so long as their dreams of hurting people different from them came true?dewme said:The president telling companies to eat the tariffs is like a mob boss telling his henchmen to hide the bodies.Nothing to see here!
Maybe it’s a US thing, but I feel that people don't like to talk about money. I know many very smart people who are absolutely horrible at managing their finances and it all seems to stem from simply not being a part of their lives growing up. The parents dealt with the finances and the kids were simply expected to know it or figure it out after they became adults.

Critical thinking and logic? Now you’re just trying to indoctrinate children with your woke agenda and daily out-patient transgender surgery. /swilliamlondon said:
I'd add Critical Thinking and Logic to that mix, and we'd need to have a discussion about History as a subject, as we all know, history is written by the victors and isn't at all a reflection of the reality of what happened in the past. But, I take your point and agree with you about what we *should* be teaching kids. How to deal with the real world (how to learn and think, how to argue/debate/discuss, and how to engage with life) is what we never seem to do.danox said:

I'm not even sure you could find a seller on Etsy that isn't using materials and/or tools that weren't made outside the US in some regard.Wesley_Hilliard said:
Except that everything you buy local is likely using materials sourced from outside of the country. The only thing that isn't going to be hit by tariffs are homemade candles with local wax and homemade wicks. Well, they'll need to make the jar for the candle too I suppose. And that candle will cost $80.mike_galloway said:
As long as you keep shopping from abroad, the government gets its tax via tariffs - I believe this was part of the plan. If you stop shopping from abroad then you must buy local or not at all if local is too expensive. I get the idea even if it is doomed to fail.bloggerblog said:I bought two unbranded bicycle bells from Alibaba that cost me 50cents (for both), the tariffs added 75cents. That 150% tax n tariffs for a total of $1.25
This product is still astronomically cheaper than the rebranded bells at REI of the exact product for $32 each!! So now Trump's tariff is higher than the manufacturer's profits. What happens to this tariff, where does it go? And the tariff is not a deterrent since the product is still cheaper. The tariffs are a tax on Americans, not Chinese. Their price did not change for them, but it did for me and to those who buy in bulk and rebrand.
It's a brilliant plan if you're a cartoon character. -

Apple rumored to release iOS 26 at WWDC, instead of iOS 19
The year designation correlates to the primary version number so I would be surprised by any other answer than 26.x.x for the OS that is coming being announced later this year, per the rumor. For example, if 5 years from now a security patch is issued for the iPhone for this year's new iOS I would expect it to be something like 26.8.1, where 26 is the year it was "mostly" new, 8 being the minor revision, and 1 being the patch.eightzero said:Sorta been waiting on this. No way to tell at a glance what is the "latest" version of macOS and iOS and PadOS and tvOS (and I guess vision OS). What does Apple plan to do with point updates (say macOS26.5) that doesn't ship to 2027. Is that...now macOS27?
And maybe let's skip the crack marketing team's recommendation for CA place names. Tell me which came first: Monterey or Mojave? Had to look it up, didn't you?
