Looks like Elise Stefanik might be gearing up to work as an ambassador for Trump at the UN. Let’s discuss…
If you’ve ever listened to her, you might feel a bit dumber after. She’s just that kind of speaker.

Honestly, who’s worse? Her, Elon, or Trump?
Looks like Skydio’s going to need another politician to lobby for DJI bans now. Only good news from this election.

Skydio’s in the clear now. The focus now is on adding huge tariffs on Chinese imports.
If a Neo drone costs $500 because of tariffs, it’s almost the same as banning it.
Actually works in Skydio’s favor; they can sell it at $499 while still building it for just $40.

This is why Republicans win… people don’t get how this works. Bans are basically irrelevant now.

So what’s the deal here? Is it a good time to buy DJI stuff before tariffs hit? Already have a Mini 3 Pro, thinking of getting goggles.
@Cyclopes
Yeah, go for it now… after that, you’ll be busy ‘making America great again.’ Who knows, maybe a full ban before the inauguration.

Is this where we say… Long live Donald Jesus Trump?
@Toryn
Trump put tariffs on China before… prices didn’t exactly skyrocket. People need to relax.
@Om
I disagree.

Were you around when it happened? Prices did go up. Do some research before you post.
@Zane
They didn’t go up 100%. Companies absorbed the costs to keep customers.

And thankfully so, since the tariffs were mainly on things like clothes dryers.

Tariffs work as a tax on imports… it’s the American buyers who actually pay, not China.
@Caden
That’s not really the whole picture. Many companies absorbed the tariff costs to keep their market.

Remember we ended up paying $12 million to farmers because of this. Seems like a kind of socialism, doesn’t it?

Farmers have long had subsidies to help them compete against cheaper foreign production.

And Biden’s extended those subsidies even further.
Strange that the party that says less regulation and more freedom wants to control drones so much.
