April 4Apr 4 The island of St. Pierre, with a population of 5,800, got tagged with a 99% tariff rate. So, what had happened was they previously bought $3.5m worth of US made high voltage electrical equipment that was later returned for repair, which got counted as an export.

Looks like this was something they had in mind since the earnings report in January. I’m sure the current state doesn’t help, but this seems due to 2024 actuals. https://investors.whirlpoolcorp.com/news-and-events/news/news-details/2025/Whirlpool-Announces-Fourth-Quarter-and-Full-Year-Results-Provides-2025-Guidance/default.aspx
April 4Apr 4 Well, China has now retaliated. VIX just exploded to over 40. Today might be shaping up to be a black Friday for the books.
April 4Apr 4 Of course, anyone looking to retire in the next couple of years might just be plain out of luck 🙄. Bollox 🤦♂️. Luckily I've probably got a job for as long as i need one right now.

I took a 45% pay cut last November to go back to an old job because it’s 10 min from home, and only 40hrs a week unless I want OT. I was hoping to go to even less hours sometime next year but that isn’t looking good.

Even with safe investments the US dollar will likely lose a lot of value and prices are going to shoot up. People will need to keep working.

I'm not paid anything like some of you guys on here, who seem to be making seeeerrouiss money 👍. But we have enough. The hours you guys put in though. Think I'm contracted to 38 hrs a week and we do 40. So those extra 2 hrs we get back every 4 weeks as an accrued day - 13 extra days leave each year. It's really not that bad and tbh, time off is more important to me than money now. Really hope you get to reduce your hours if it works for you 🤞 As I said to @DrPhilly, we spend enough of our lives working.
