Wife might not be, but children definitely are.
Most of the time they are, but I am not a cost center to my parents in the grand scheme of things, even though I was initially growing up.
Same here. My parents have actually become a ācost centerā to me for more than 10 years and running. Itās a role reversalā¦
They are not a cost center. Itās called payback + interest.

cost of goods sold(incluidng material) 4260 Q2 2018, but Q2 2017 4471, so cost went down???
their net sales went down from Q2 2017 5347 down to 5140
Cost of goods sold (COGS) is the cost of acquiring or manufacturing the products that a company sells during a period. Therefore, the only costs included in the measure are those that are directly tied to the production of the products, such as the cost of labor, materials, and manufacturing overhead.
perhaps this company need to start making modern appliance like samsung and LG , i wasnāt even looking into this brand
They said US steel is up 50%. Thatās not all tariff. Thatās strong demand from a strong economy.
Turns out the crazy guy does know a little bit about what heās doing. Oh, and that whole China soybean thing. The EU agreed to import more Soybeans.
Will zero tariff become a reality?
Both sides just had a talk agreeing to have more talks. Itās obviously better than having no talks but aside from holding off on additional tariffs there is nothing concrete here. All the old tariffs put on earlier this year including the one on steel are still in place.
alright , my extremely liberalism needs to come out
Everyone is a winner, always think positive, everyone is nice.
My positive thinking telling me there will be no loser. Love and Peace.
It all comes down to protectionism. The EU is riddled with it. Ever see any Japanese cars in Europe?
The āAmericanā cars are all made by Europeans. Not even the same parts or models as in the US.
Try buying CA wine in Europe. Triple the prices as here same in Canada. Those people all treat us like chumps. We donāt charge tarrifs on French wine or cheese but they do on our stuff.
US steel stock is down since March. I thought they were supposed to benefit?
