RAM prices are just going to keep rising and rising, aren't they?

    100% not the point. No company is gonna fight this when they can pass the cost on to the customer and then later get a refund. It's open season on consumers.

    Don't forget, once the tariffs get removed the companies also

    1. Get a paycheck from the government taxpayers.
    2. Keep prices the same, tariff baked in price and pocket the difference.

    I should have gotten solar on my roof years ago. 😕

    I feel the same way. I thought about trying to rush it through before subsidies were getting ripped away last year, but decided against it.

    Now this asshole and his fuckery on all levels will probably ruin the market for years and years even after he's long gone. If anything, this stupid choad should have massively increased the federal subsidies for both wind and solar, to the degree where it's nearly free, but nooooo, that would make him and the conservatives that support him gay and/feminine, because petroleum is macho.

    Dumbass needs to learn a new word. Tariffs tariffs tariffs... Just shut the fuck up already. Or better yet just fuck off!

    So he wants to raise prices on imported solar panel materials to incentivize production of solar panels in Amerikkka, only to continue forcing oil and gas with the help of his oil barron buddies' lobbying, and cancel overseas production of renewable wind energy projects.

    Are we great yet?
