    They have to be. Photographs of Les Paul Gretsch Stratocaster Telecaster you name it all for around a hundred bucks some sort of complicated rigmarole as to ordering so it might be some other kind of scam. They don't mention Chinese but the fake Rickenbacker is do. They're just Chinese copies sold for a fraction of what they would actually cost. Not sure what the scam is, maybe stealing credit card information or non-delivery of something too good to be true or just selling garbage. I do know a guy that bought a fake Chinese Les Paul that he can actually play after a little tweaking. And a lot of these Chinese knock-offs actually have made in the USA on them. 

    But if they're doing that I have no doubt they're selling DVDs music any other number of fake American Products.

  • WOSU: Chinese Tariffs Could Cut Ohio Farmers' Income By More Than Half

    An Ohio State study finds that some Ohio farmers could lose more than half of their annual income if a threatened 25 percent tariff goes into effect on soybeans and corn sent to China.

    Ohio State researchers compiled data from six Ohio corn and soybean farms to create a representative Ohio farm that grows corn and soybeans.

    They estimate that the proposed 25 percent tariff on exports to China would mean a 59 percent loss in annual net income to a typical Ohio farmer. Projections show income would drop from $63,577 to $26,107, under the tariffs. That is based on historical trends in yields on corn and soybeans, and projections for price drops in both commodities.

    Soybeans are Ohio’s largest crop and the state’s top agricultural export.

    China threatened the tariffs after President Trump proposed 25 percent tariffs against Chinese exports like washing machines and medical products. Earlier, China retaliated against tariffs on steel and aluminum with limits on U.S. pork.

    That move also hit hard at Ohio farmers, who producce $600 million in pork products annually. But soybean tariffs would prove more devastating: They're Ohio's top crop, and China is the state's best buyer.

    The study predicts that, across Ohio, the loss of soybean exports to China would be an estimated $241 million annually. Every year, Ohio exports about 31 percent of the soybeans and 2 percent of the corn it produces to China.

    Ohio State says this is the first study on the impact of soybean and corn tariffs on the state.

    "There are farmers who are struggling across the state," said Ben Brown, manager of Ohio State’s College of Food, Agricultural, and Environmental Sciences, in a press release.  "If the proposed tariffs go into effect, we're going to have farmers who will have to exit the industry."

    The financial losses come from an expected drop in Chinese demand for U.S. soybeans and corn, under the proposed tariff.

    Daily Wire: Trump SAVAGES Harley Davidson For Moving Jobs Overseas In Response To His Tariffs: 'They Surrendered, They Quit!'

    obamaocare directly interfered with the workings of companies.

    President Trump is actively trying to fix our gigantic give-away advantage trade deficit.

    For example - American farmers can't sell, or not much at all - their goods to the EU.

    Why? Because that gives the EU a giant advantage.

    Cars going to china? china has always put well over a 200% tariff on our cars.

    We only charge a ...2.5 was it? percent.

    That is what we have to fix, and other presidents left it alone.

    The time for us to play we-giveaway is over. It's something well over 800 BILLION

    in trade imbalance in the red.

    So, it might make you FEEL good, jblu, but the truth is, obamaocare legistlated companies, and

    PRes Trump is trying to make our giant trade imbalances around the world fair to HELP companies.

  • Yes jblu, stop feeling so much.

    no u guys throat each other daily, thats a historic fact. now as to harley, they can blow me their bikes suck anyway. sadly i think victory folded, they made so much better looking bikes. heres hoping indian now makes up some more ground.

  • no, you still have it wrong. the fay woodpecker starts his crap in threads again, and only then do I

    start explaining to him that he is a pitiful consistently ignorant changer of thread subjects.

    then, he "learns" and stops for a while...

    but something sickly? inside of him makes his beak start pecking again. He doesn't know anything about anything,

    so he does is start up little bickering about posters, and not the subjects at hand. Maybe he has a learning disability.

    That would explain a lot, along with being a gay bird maybe.

    stop it woody knows more about alot of things than all of u put together, and he proves it daily. im not talking about his "opinions", those are his own and ur free to disagree. the problem is so many discussions start here on an errant foundation of facts. im not talking about msm supplued facts, i often see a blatant disregard for long established rules of classical physics.

    Thanks, but slow down there. I'm completely serious when I say this, but we can't disregard the life experiences and knowledge that posters on here have gained. I'm admittedly less experienced, it's just a fact.

    But I do think many here have been so warped politically that common sense goes out the window to tote the party line. Throw in a constant stream / echo chamber of misinformation / alternate facts and you get this as a result. All as a marketing tool to drive clicks and get advertisers. By providing content that reaffirms beliefs and goes for certain feelings. 

    You're right though where there are posts where basic science or statistics is just clearly wrong. That's where literal established math is being shunned in order to promote the conclusion that feeds a pre established conclusion
