   The current "trade adjustments" have had
   an effect. Alas a lot of stuff that was
   NOT a drag on the USA got caught up in
   this shit. "Collateral Damage".

   It WILL improve ... but not THIS year.

   USA, alas, has NOTHING like PIs. Should, but
   doesn't. Everything HERE is now kinda dedicated
   to "AI" - can't even get Mem/Storage.

   DID try an "Orange PI" ... it was NOT really
   "compatible" though. Could FORCE it to kind-
   of work ... but ......
