Sarah Rieger: 作为商业记者，我认为美中贸易的暂时缓和对企业来说是一个好消息，因为关税降低了。然而，即使降低了，关税仍然很高，这仍然会对美国的进口产生重大影响。我特别关注一艘名为 OOCL Violet 的货船，它在关税生效前离开中国，抵达美国时却面临巨额关税费用。这艘船上的货物包括服装、汽车、笔记本电脑等，这些商品都受到了关税的影响。对于像 Big Joe Forklift 这样的公司来说，他们因为关税支付了额外的费用，这给他们的经营带来了很大的压力。许多公司正在取消订单或寻找其他方法来规避关税，例如将货物运到加拿大，等待关税下降后再运回美国。总的来说，我认为关税的不确定性对企业造成了很大的困扰，并可能导致失业和经济损失。 Devin Friedman: 作为主持人，我认同 Sarah 的观点，关税对企业和消费者都有直接的影响。虽然贸易战的缓和可能减轻一些企业的负担，但高关税仍然存在，并可能导致成本增加。我特别关注关税对普通消费者的影响，因为许多商品都是通过美国进入北美的，关税成本最终会转嫁到消费者身上。此外，我也对那些试图通过走私等方式来规避关税的行为感到好奇。总的来说，我认为关税问题是一个复杂的问题，需要认真对待。

Shownotes Transcript

In a surprise turn — and to the relief of businesses and consumers worldwide — the U.S. and China have agreed to temporarily lower tariffs. (They’re still high, but…not as high.) On this week’s TLDR, how one cargo ship tells the story of the trade war. Plus, after all the stock market highs and lows over the past couple months, we’re basically back where we started. Who made out big from all the turmoil? And, at long last, Warren Buffett is retiring. A look at what we can learn from his storied career.
