  1. I would like to point out to Americans, that VAT is not the same as a tarrifs. VAT is similar to your sales tax. And as such no American consumer will pay VAT on goods or services. Just as the British consumer will not pay sales tax on American goods or services.

    In Britain VAT is on everything except for certain things like food (not junk food) and children’s clothes. In Britain consumers pay VAT whether or not the goods are produced in Britain or abroad.

    A tarrif is always paid by the importer, and while he can choose to absorb the cost, it is more likely to be passed on to the consumer. I am only passing on this information because an alarming amount of Americans believe that they are being taxed twice if they buy foreign goods. That is not the case. Simply because steps are taken to ensure that it doesn’t. But if you buy things online, you should check to make sure that VAT is not included or that it is refunded., which will mean form filling.

  2. Dear Marjorie, a month or so ago you published a post stating that the ‘magnificent seven would show acute financial distress in the late 2020s.

    Last night ITV reported whilst the US run a large deficit for manufactures with the EU, for services the opposite is the case..If the EU introduced countervailing measures, it would hit American high value added businesses very hard, including the ‘magnificent seven’.

  3. Dear Marjorie, you posted an excellent article of shocks in stock markets in the world. However, do bear in mind it was not the fall in stock prices that brought about the financial crisis of 2008, but the failure in credit markets.

    Looking at Youtube we find that the Federal Reserve is putting in a repo facility for hedge funds. In addition, the BOE has issued £62bn of repos for banks and pension funds. So there is obviously stress there. If these were merely podcasts on Youtube I would take them with a pinch of salt. However a couple of days ago Reuters published an article showing that BOE had issued £22bn in repos over a few days.

  4. Hello Marjorie. Happy Spring! (I love daffodils)

    Can you look at Corey Booker. His Birthday is April 27, 1969. He is giving a marathon speech (attempting to rival a filibuster attempted in the 60s–that one was to defeat the voting right’s act.) Booker, (and other Democrats) are talking about the evils of the Trump administration. It’s been over 24 hours now (he has to remain standing the entire time.) He is a senator from New Jersey.

  5. Is 23andme lighthearted enough to warrant a look? I felt like I am in 2 world. One newsfeed is about deleting your data from the DNA testing site, another is telling me to know your genes and your myriad of health issues you can try using a site like 23andme.

  6. Hi Marjorie,

    A very sad, strange woman named Valentina Gomez is running for a Texas seat.

    Her DOB is 8 May 1999, no birthtime, I assume she was born in Cali, Columbia. Given her extremist views,
    her horrible and terrifying social media presence, her chart really caught my eye. That Mars, whoa. Too
    bad we do not have a birthtime. She literally posted video of herself, in a wetsuit, sitting on the floor of
    a swimming pool, taking a gun apart and reassembling it back underwater. She is infuriating and comes
    across as dangerous. I doubt she will get very far, but she appears to be as narcissistic as Trump. I believe
    her Olympian brother is possibly gay, he seems like a nice guy. Her other brother seems to be infatuated
    with her, I believe he films her social media posts. Charts vs the chart holder are endlessly fascinating.

    • Moon Uranus in Aquarius – loves to shock. Fire Air mainly – hot air motormouth. Plus a chilly, stubborn Saturn Sun in Taurus – no Water. Not one of the world’s sweeties for sure.

  7. It appears that when Uranus is in Gemini and brings a major war to the US, Neptune is in either Aries or Libra squaring the 1776 triple conjunction in Cancer. This pattern is now repeating. Neptune is now squaring Venus at 3 Cancer in the 4 July 1776 chart, which will bring a severe economic downturn similar to the onset of WWII and the Civil War. Neptune will later square the Sun-Jupiter conjunction at 5 Cancer, which brought the deaths of Abraham Lincoln and FDR. Could you look at this pattern more closely?

  8. Marjorie, while the focus has been on Trump, Musk, and Republicans, could you take a look at the Democratic party and some of its members in the coming years? This may be helpful in determining what, if any, direction our country goes from here.
