Trump Tariffs: Its Painful Now But Good For America In The Long Run?

2025/04/09

Some countries impose higher tariffs on U.S. goods compared to the tariffs the U.S. imposes on their products. This can hurt U.S. exporters because they face higher costs to access foreign markets.

Trump’s administration claimed that many countries, especially China, were engaging in unfair trade practices, such as intellectual property theft, forced technology transfers, and currency manipulation. The tariffs were seen as a tool to pressure China and other trading partners to address these issues and adhere to international trade rules.

North Point of View: Artificial Intelligence

2024/12/18

Excerpt: Mark: About a month ago, we were investigating the context of some of the work we were doing in Africa with our with our nonprofit, I was talking with my daughter about a long range project of getting the background on every country on the continent of Africa in terms of political stability. I just threw it out there, let's gather this information maybe over the next couple of months. Well, the next morning, she sent me a report and she had used ChatGPT. Obviously there were gaps but the fact that we had a framework from which to work in a matter of minutes rather than months was amazing. Walter: But here's the scary part. What was missing in that report? You don't know exactly. There were things that you could see, and then there were things you couldn't see. Then some of the information was just inaccurate. But to get you started, man it's a great tool in that sense.
