There is the great conspiracy theory of course because last time the Germans asked for gold formthe US they end up having to take French gold and the french took an IOU from the USA. The conspiracy theory is that the US has nog gold. I dont believe it but Im just saying there is a conspiracy teory out there. How long ago were unexperined ariel phenomena just the refugee for the lunatics according to mainstream press. Now its been cleverly painted as "possible but not proven" Will the "missing gold" conspiracy theory also bem stealthily accepted by the back door of big healdine specutaion and denial followed by trickle back peddling ? Just iagine what ot would mean if Germany wasnt civen its gol dback out of American vaults. What does this also mean fior the future "special relationship"{ of Germany and the USA ? It seems to me Europe is going to vote with its feet and this is the first step of the long march to independence (which involves doing business with people other than the US. I not JLR pulling out of US was met with drision over their product quality, but how long before others follow ?? Why did JLR do it other than because it sees better profitability elsewhere, regardles of how weak ro strong the brand may be. Regardless of how storng or weak other brans will be the attraction has ot be to move their good elsewhere - which is the purpose of tariffs - but the storngest foreign competitors wil stay and if they do survive, become much bigger andmore efficient in the US market. Biden ran an on shoring campaign, Trump seems to be running a fine tuning campaign on US importers, making the successful ones stronger not weaker. JMHO.
