I argued about free trade and experienced these costs by sending some CDs to Canada. I couldn’t believe all the paperwork. I just put no value and a note inside to save them on their side from or cost my thinking up Here’s your CDs you forgot cuz I knew they were gonna open it. It cost over 20 extra on my side even putting no value.
Thing is if it’s free then what of places like China or elsewhere making cheaper things and hurting local businesses. There has to be some common sense economics here. Perhaps free trade would make things worse?

personally am against trade war but for none of the reasons publicly stated. There are few industries that should be protected and that is arms-manufacturer and agriculture. Why? Because we need to defend ourselves and we need to be able to eat. The reason the Irish hated the English was that they imposed huge tariffs on agriculture to protect English farmers and when there was the potato famine, the tariffs resulted in the Irish staving to death. However, nobody should starve to death if there is a crop failure.

Get yourself a good quality CoQ10 supplement. Look at the side effects they are devastating. I looked for hiccups and on one it was there too for people over 60 the rate goes up. Looking at medicines is one of the searches for causation. If you take them make sure you take the supplement. A nurse here who started taking Q10 noticed a big difference. I was telling her for awhile to take it before she did.
Here’s some of what I’m taking about.
Tell your doctor you stopped them.
Here’s the good and bad on this link.

Inflammation of the muscles caused by statins can lead to serious breakdown of muscle cells called rhabdomyolysis. Rhabdomyolysis causes the release of muscle protein (myoglobin) into the blood, and myoglobin can cause kidney failure and even death. When used alone, statins cause rhabdomyolysis in less than one percent of patients. To prevent the development of serious rhabdomyolysis, patients taking atorvastatin should contact their health-care professional immediately if they develop unexplained muscle pain, weakness, or muscle tenderness.
Statins have been associated with increases in HbA1c and fasting serum glucose levels as seen in diabetes.

Thank you very much for the posting on atorvastatin. I have been taking it for some time. It was prescribed by the VA in conjunction with some blood pressure meds. I am the textbook case for side effects. I quit taking it today and hopefully will begin to recuperate soon.
