Search Results: when will I get over him

The Media repeatedly reports on the negative effects of tariffs, how they will raise prices, and how people are upset about that.

What the media fails to do is talk about the complete effects of tariffs. Yes, they will raise prices for American consumers... on discretionary goods that Americans purchase, goods they don't have to purchase, like gadgets from China. As prices rise, demand for those goods will fall, which causes the Law of Supply and Demand to kick in. In other words, the supplier (in a foreign country) will lower its prices to maintain a reasonable demand... and profit margin.

Over time, prices and trade amounts will stabilize, resulting in a more favorable trade balance for the receiving country, the United States (considering Trump's tariffs).

Simply put, tariffs are not the evil that the media professes them to be.

So...

Why do you think the media keeps pushing the negative effects of tariffs, ignoring their long-term benefits.

Hello all.

I finished high school at 18 like everyone else with above average marks. I wanted to go to art school and become an animator. However life did not turn out the way I wanted. Due to various personal reasons which I don't want to disclose here, I was not able to go to art school and later ended up as a hikikomori (recluse).

However I did not want to remain living in the dark and watch everyone else succeed. Hence when things sorta improved in my life I tried to give another attempt to follow my artistic passion. At 25 I started drawing once again. It almost felt like learning from scratch as I had never drawn since I was 18. However as I started to draw once again a wave of nostalgia hit me. It felt as if the carefree high school kid in me was alive once again. I felt a type of happiness I had never felt in years. I knew I was on the right track!

I kept improving my art and after few months joined a 2 years diploma course in animation. It felt too late to go for a 4 years course in an art school even though they teach more in depth over there. I graduate in another year as I am already half way in. If things does go as planned and I do get a foot in the door in let's say an animation studio, I will be 28 then. Does it feel too old? Anyone else here who started their career at a later stage?
