On the contrary, I succeeded in giving a ridiculous post the ridicule it necessitated.
Seems this is the way it will play out. I've heard of multiple businesses raising prices globally to "protect the US market".

Is it that surprising? These aren't non-profit businesses.Seems this is the way it will play out. I've heard of multiple businesses raising prices globally to "protect the US market".
Here is one report, but there are more.
"Rather than simply increase prices there, it's possible the likes of PlayStation could increase pricing globally in an effort to protect, as best they can, the US market."Sony hikes PlayStation 5 prices by 25% in UK, Europe and Australia
Sony's decision to hike prices in other markets such as Europe and Australia could be an attempt to protect its key US market from price increases.
Sounds more like corporate greed and subsidising the US market, than protection of market share.
Indeed. If it’s a hobby, your home/rental insurance provider should be able to add dedicated coverage. I have items >$1K on my schedule.

Er no. Grey market = legitimately imported by a non-authorised distributor (all import duties etc paid). What you’re describing is black market.
The fair thing to do would be to hike US prices by the tariff % and leave the rest of the world (who didn’t vote for this clown) alone.
No. Grey markets exist because there is differential pricing in different countries, not tariffs. Canon, for example, has lower pre-tax prices in the Far East than in Europe or the USA and goods may be legally imported directly from those countries avoiding Canon USA or Canon EU. They are called “grey” because they are not through Canon and Canon does not provide its warranty.
I don't say it can't happen, but wouldn't you expect another Civil War to go with this?
Unfortunately, business decisions aren't always fair. We'll survive (maybe).
Honestly, I often refrain from posting or asking questions here because I really don't enjoy being treated with contempt by this disdainful Neuroanatomist. If I see is posts in a thread, I retreat, and I'm certainly not the only one.
Rational, reasonable posts engender replies in kind, and honest questions are always welcome…and answered as best I can. But I have no compunctions or remorse about calling out asinine posts, misinformation, and obvious trolling with the disdain such drivel deserves.
