What is the fie format? Unless .jpe format it cannot be over 976.6K. It also cannot exceed the width and height limits. Most quality digital cameras picture are at least 5 mega pixels which is must larger than what is allowed. Try using a utility such as IrfanView to resize the picture.

Yup, the little guy gets an extra $50 while the billionaires get $100m.
And now, if these ridiculous tariffs are approved the cost of everything made with steel or aluminum will increase so there goes the little guys $50 and then some.

Little guys are getting a lot more than $50. Hell--more like $50 per paycheck.

So your problem is that rich people are getting richer? You just don't want millionaires or billionaires to make more?

Re: Just how Crazy is Donald Trump!

With the top 10% earning almost 50% of the money, that leaves just 50% for the remaining 90%, the middle class is almost non existent these days. And the gap widens every year.
With the tax break for billionaires the gap just keeps on widening.

And the top 10% pay nearly 90% of the total taxes while most of the bottom 50% pay no taxes. Sounds to me like the top 10% the ones getting screwed.

The little guy may hire a lawn service but will usually not.

The billionaire usually run a company that pays thousands a week in wages. You apparently do not want the little guy to have a chance to get a raise.

Not to mention the fact that cutting off illegal immigration will force the 'big guy' to offer competitive wages, because all the cheap slave labor is gone. And then as more big guys have to do this, the little guys are in a better position to bargain for even higher wages.

WARREN BUFFETT’s WINDFALL: Berkshire Hathaway got 29 billion from tax reform


ALWAYS A FASCINATING READ -- WARREN BUFFETT’S ANNUAL LETTER -- TAX REFORM WORKED FOR BERKSHIRE HATHAWAY!: “The $65 billion gain is nonetheless real – rest assured of that. But only $36 billion came from Berkshire’s operations. The remaining $29 billion was delivered to us in December when Congress rewrote the U.S. Tax Code.

trump is a perfect example of what a billionaire will do. He will have a little guy build something for him and then not pay him. Then the little guy will either eat it or take the billionaire to court. Either way the little guy loses

No Time to Play Golf? Another Trump Record
I'm going to be working for you. I'm not going to have time to go play golf," Trump said in August 2016 on the campaign trail.


A presidential milestone: Trump has spent 100 days in office at one of his golf clubs


President Donald Trump reached a presidential milestone at his Palm Beach County, Florida, golf club on Saturday: One hundred days in office at a golf club that bears his name.




Trump, once a critic of presidential golfing, has ignored his own advice and made a habit of visiting some of the many golf courses emblazoned in his moniker. The habit is part of the broader trend of the President and first lady making frequent trips to properties owned and operated by the Trump Organization.

The Trump administration has quietly decided once again to let Americans import body parts of African elephants shot for sport, despite presidential tweets decrying the practice as a "horror show."

You can whine all you want about someone rich having too much money, but statistically, the best way to help the little guy is to allow the big guys to have more of their own money. In fact, it's happening right now.

Re: Just how Crazy is Donald Trump!

Today President Trump imposed a 10% tariff on imported aluminum and 25% tariff on imported steel effective 14 days from now. Canada and Mexico are indefinitely excluded from these tariffs mostly due to the high level complexities of cross border trade.

At this point is is hard to say what impact these tariffs will have on the USA copier/printer industry but you have to suspect increased costs. Probably not right away but as inventories are re-stocked in the next few months, manufacturers can either absorb the costs or pass them along.

It seems the details on exactly what products are effected remain sketchy. Are we talking about steel and aluminum in raw blanks or finished products?

I do not think that there are any copier/printers manufactured in the USA. Most copier/ printers are manufactured in China or the Orient, close to the component suppliers.

Maybe Xerox still re-manufactures some copiers in Mexico but I am sure all 100% new Xerox copiers come from China.

Fortunately, most new copier/printers in 2018 contain significantly less metal than they use to.

I am from Canada and hope the much smaller Canadian copier/printer industry can avoid this whole issue.

Toshiba Canada imports product directly from China into Vancouver in shipping containers that are sent via rail across the country into a Toronto warehouse, theoretically avoiding USA tariffs.

I do know that some Canadian copier manufacturers mostly restock their inventory from USA warehouses.

Sorry, I am not whining. I am simply stating facts.
Another fact is when billionaires get more money they simply keep more money.
I would like to see some of those statistics you speak of.

I did a search through a couple of my service manuals. Not once was the word "steel" used. Metal was used many times. I think most copiers contain stamped metal parts. Steel and metal have two different definitions. This might be just enough to escape the new tariffs.
