The Inadvisability of MAGA-Initiated International Trade Warfare Tariffs

  

The Inadvisability of MAGA-Initiated International Trade Warfare Tariffs

Ultimately, Tariffs on Products of Exporter-Suppliers Sold to Importer-Retailers Are a Pass-on Sales Tax on and Raise the Prices on Those Products Sold by Importer-Retailers and Purchased by Domestic Consumers


Some of the top and obvious marketplace ramifications of the economic mechanics of the imposition of tariffs on imports from China and other [major] export-import competitor nations:


PRC China and the other major nation-state export-import competitors targeted, and their business products punished, with US tariffs on their exports to, imports by US re-sellers into, the US will balance and cancel out the effect of the US tariffs with corresponding, or correspondingly higher, rates-of-charge counter tariffs of their own on US exports to their nations, compared to zero or lower tariff rates-of-charge on imports from respectively zero-tariff and lower-tariff imposing nations. Prices of imports, including components, parts and raw materials in addition to semifinished and finished products for all affected lines of products, will increase, and probably comparatively rapidly or abruptly sharply in spikes for and between the tariff dueling nations. Particularly the smaller producer, and/or lesser international and optionally domestic, market-share and import-beneficiary retailer and consumer, export nation would most lose, though both might lose lopsidedly overall, international consumer market share, reduced domestic consumer purchases, along with net-effect purchasing power with regard to its household and business enterprise incomes, and reduced retailer sales and profitability and consequential, in the aggregate, reduced import-export business sector earnings as well as earnings, or returns, to their investors, as in the import-export sector of the US economy. This economic scenario in the USA would result in widespread business failures and staid acutely diminished sales, revenue and profit declines in the import-export sector of the economy, including for major street, mall and online retailers, and in the respective full unemployment for some and substantial reductions in employment for others of their workforces. Housing, automobile, grocer, banking, lending and credit, church tithing, charitable donations and political contributions, among other sectors of the US economy, would be economically hurt by income losses by the import-tariffs' related and driven downturn (in financially weakened going concerns, insolvencies and mass unemployment and reduced employment of business significantly tied to and dependent on imports, especially normally price-cheap imports) in the US economy.


However, when imports constitute the dumping of products at or below the cost of their production, whose effect is or credibly potentially is to harm systemically the viability of an industry or producer-market segment of the receiver nation, then reasonably such imports should be banned if they are not essential to or required for the production needs of domestic producers and the supply of the same kinds of products by domestic suppliers is insufficient. If they are so needed, then tariffs should be levied on them to make their retail prices match the average, above-average or top price of the concerned products found across major or all world markets. Otherwise, when imports, by exporters, with bona-fide lower prices episodically or in an overall continuum flood the domestic market, import quotas can be set on them and punitive tariffs can be levied on them, per type of product and supplier, with offender suppliers subject to being suspended for a term from exporting directly or indirectly through proxies, on a case-by-case basis rather than on and against the export products in large measure or wholly of a foreign nation or its producers so as to protect the solvency, viability and marketplace competitiveness of domestic producers while averting inter-nation mutually economically damaging trade wars. By law, anti-monopoly or -quasi-monopoly and anti-collusion regulated domestic and international competition between and among similar businesses constrains runaway price rises and inflation to the benefit of consumers and, ideally, bolsters a maximum of market-share participants and stakeholders within and across the different industries and types of business as well as supports the extensive spread of wealth, and its non-concentration in a relatively few, among the citizenry.


We must be proactively mindful of both Murphy's law and the Peter principle, or woe betide us like with the Covid-19 pandemic and its havoc on the US economy and economies of the other major nations of the world of humanity.


Tariffs do not take place in a one-way action environment and relationship with other nations and the nations of the world, as in one of negative output and impact on others by oneself without a return, or response, and impact action, or counteraction, on oneself from and by negatively affected others by oneself, the initiator-instigator of the negativity or negative exchange and transaction relationship. We must remember that indeed tariffs ultimately are a sales tax, passed by the exporter-suppliers onto the retailers and consumers of imports, which hikes the costs and prices of imported, if not all, by side effect, products and services for sale.

The Main Real Reason for Why Donald Trump Was Elected US President and VP Kamala Harris Was Not in the 11-05-2024 US Presidential Election

The Main Real Reason for Why Donald Trump Was Elected US President and VP Kamala Harris Was Not in the 11-05-2024 US Presidential Election

The main reason for Donald Trump’s election as US president in the US presidential election of Tuesday, 11-05-2024 is the rampant lie that Trump and the MAGA mass media propagated that businesses and the households of the USA were economically better off under the Trump Presidency than the following Biden Presidency, whereas in fact that of Trump's mismanaged Covid-19 pandemic crisis resulted in the collapse of the US economy overall, including mass business losses in income and profitability and in failure closures, worker unemployment, residential dislocations, extreme shortages in groceries supply and in sparce and empty groceries shelves, etc., in grocery stores and soaring inflationary, intractable high prices on virtually all products and services beginning for virtually the whole year of 2020 of the Trump Presidency.

As newly elected and inaugurated US president in January of 2017, Trump inherited the dream economy of and from the outgoing Obama Presidency, in which now US President Joe Biden was vice president. When Donald Trump takes office as newly elected US president again in January of 2025, Donald Trump will again inherit the best performing economy of the nations of the world, restored by the Biden Presidency from the economic shambles left by the previous Trump Presidency, though voters largely, in the majority, wrongly and ignorantly blame the Biden Presidency for the soaring inflationary high prices and increased such rates initiated in the previous Trump Presidency, rates of inflation the Biden Presidency along with the Federal Reserve Bank have driven down to the normal 2% per annum rate, though not the increased prices, which historically never return to the lower prices of a past, pre-inflationary period, and employment, and business as well as the stock market performance, plus, have risen stably to record levels and prices have steadied under the Biden Presidency.

Trump and the MAGA GOP will claim ownership and credit for the good economies Trump inherits as US president and blame, as may an amnesiac majority of voters, his successors for the wrecked economies he and his presidential team leave to his successor [clean-up] presidents of the USA. Based on my reading, listening and viewing of the mass media news reports on the US presidential election before and since election day of 11-05-2024, pre-election [public opinion or political] polls consistently found that the majority of eligible voters consistently rated Donald Trump and his presidency a better manager of the economy than Joe Biden and the Biden presidency and in the 2024 US presidential election exit polls of voters, a majority of the voters surveyed [delusionally] said explicitly or to the effect that they voted for Trump because prices were too high and unaffordable under the Biden Administration and that they were [economically] better off under Trump (and the GOP) than Biden (and the Democrats) as president.

When US presidential candidate Trump threw out his vote-getting (for attracting to him millions of more voters) political dog-bone, vote-bait, promises, successively in the few months before the presidential election, of no taxes on tip income, Social Security pensions and overtime pay, I knew they made him formidable, across most voter demographics, regardless of any bad he said or did at any time. Probably, in view of the stated foregoing informational context, a majority of folks, across the demographic categories -- with Trump peeling off record percentages of Latino and Black males, less concerned about female reproductive rights or even protecting democracy, as a priority issue, than their personal economic considerations, and Native Americans, as well as probably Social Security pension retirees and those, men and women, near retirement (also having little vested concern in the reproductive rights of young females) in increased support — voted for Trump because they thought he offered them a better, juicier deal personally-economically than VP Kamala Harris and the Democratic Party. Indicatively, personal election-contingent economic considerations were the top priorities deciding the votes of these cross-over, independent and swing voters who voted for Donald Trump.

Apologetically, the relevant news references are not inserted as online hyperlinks or annotated in a list as a matter of selfish convenience to myself, as I have virtually had enough of this matter and for a while want relieved from it. This is a reflective quickie writing. 

Political Sleight of Hand and Remember, Remember, Remember Reality, Please, Before It's Too Late -- an immediately updated vitally-important must read for voters in the US presidential election of Tuesday, 11-05-2024

Political Sleight of Hand and Remember, Remember, Remember Reality, Please, Before It's Too Late 

— an immediately updated vitally-important must read for voters in the US presidential election of Tuesday, 11-05-2024

Why would an individual pollster and political analyst among many accuse the many others of pressing a finger down on their consensus polling data on the candidates in the US presidential election competition to the favor of Kamala Harris by one point within the margin of error or to show a virtual tie between the candidates and himself contrarily claim a landslide win for Trump? He would do so to get mass attention-grabbing reads of his written election news commentary in major part to temper down the harsh and negative rhetorical attacks, the bad news and bad publicity, against Trump and to have his Trump-favorable commentary and nudging of cautious silence toward Trump viralized. It makes sense that he would be doing this with the ultimate goal in mind of getting the adoption of his controversial, contrarian commentary as belief by much of the public that is followed by its/their sudden mass spread of this maverick conclusion as an expectation that could and might, as a matter of caution and self-concern by others en masse, hush bad publicity and vote-losing rhetorical attacks and endorsements against Trump by socially high-profile figures and organizations of influence otherwise critical of Trump, to a desired significantly beneficial political effect for him in a close election, according to a consensus of the major election polls, in the last few presidential campaign days leading up to the US presidential election of 11/05/2024.

However, it has newly come to my attention in my listening to radio broadcast interviews of objectively-minded political science professors and reputable professional political analysts that other minor, known-MAGA-partisan pollsters have been making the same claim online and in the pro-MAGA broadcasts as that of the hereinabove referred to mainstream election pollster-analyst of a landslide presidential election victory for Trump, a wrong MAGA-partisan private-pollsters polls-based previous election forecast which they (the interviewees) said the same or like folks made in advance, via same communications media channels, of the 2020 US presidential election actual defeat of Trump and win of current POTUS Joe Biden on election day then of 11-03-2020. In essence, they proposed that these dubious private polls of the past may have been the strategic, fallback, motivational groundwork that set the stage in advance of that election for MAGA-movement attempts to overturn it, if it resulted in a defeat of Trump’s reelection bid, which it did, by various means, such as mass mobilization action of aggressive MAGA political activists, legislatively and administratively within GOP-dominated state legislatures and GOP-MAGAs in the houses of Congress and judicially, by state and federal courts, including the GOP-membership-dominated US Supreme Court, all tried but comprehensively failed means to overturn the election of Biden as US president and retain the Trump Presidency. They say, in overall effect, that the Trump-MAGA team have probably learned from this previous thorough failure to alternatively win the US presidency in contravention to traditional federal Constitutional- and statutory-law institutional protocols and means and this time may be using such partisanly private and dubious election polls and bogus forecasts disseminated on online social media platforms and in right-wing mass media broadcasts, such as Fox, etc., as a same fallback strategy in the event of another defeat of Donald Trump in his current 2024 presidential election bid to overturn a win of that election by current US Vice President Kamala Harris but one with a much improved, better and more effective overturn or insurrection “game.”

All the while the Trump campaign and its compatriots on the sidelines, including those in the mass communications media, illusorily misrepresent the former Trump Presidency as having been an economic success story in which business and households were better off then economically than they are now under the Biden Presidency. It is a fallacious good-old-days mirage of a Trumpian national economic success story in that in less than half way into the second two years of Trump's four-year term as US president, our nation, and the nations of almost the whole of humanity worldwide was/were stricken by the Covid-19 pandemic, which was mismanaged by Trump and his presidential administration by first delaying announcing it publicly, then downplaying its significant danger and delaying taking societal action to contend with it nationally until the casualties from it soared, which resulted in a nationwide economic shutdown, a national shortage of toilet paper, the emptying of and lasting shortage in supplies of groceries in grocery stores, comprehensive spikes in the prices of groceries, extending to soaring price inflation, often seller-gouging price push inflation, of nearly all goods and services and retention of increased prices, and in mass job losses and unemployment, all the product of the soaring-inflation, economically failed Trump Presidency, like his past 6 business bankruptcies.

The Biden Presidency has been the rescue and clean-up crew of the dream economy inherited, and trashed, by former POTUS Trump from the Obama Presidency, in which Biden was vice president, and has restored record-level high employment to our nation, competently managed its takeover in handling the national Covid-19 pandemic and phased our nation out of its crisis status, and it, together with the Federal Reserve Bank, has substantially reduced the rate of inflation it inherited from the Trump Presidency.

However, the economist Paul Krugman explained that never following periods of soaring price inflation have prices returned to what they were before the periods of soaring price inflation, which is the way economic history works. Prices returning to what they were before a period of soaring price inflation would not happen (with the somewhat exception of modestly volatile gasoline prices for automobiles in the short term) if our economy were managed by the economic titans of the past Adam Smith, Alexander Hamilton, Karl Marx, John Maynard Keynes, John Kenneth Galbraith and Milton Friedman, as well as by the financial titans Mansa Musa, Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos, Bill Gates and Warren Buffett.

It is the deplorables and garbage brains of the Trump team and cult who blame the Biden clean-up crew for the mess the gaslighting, mind-wiping Trump Presidency and political team created by dereliction, mismanagement and incompetent governance and for impossibly not returning the economy's post-inflation higher prices to pre-inflation lower prices. Don’t hold your breath hoping and waiting for the latter to happen.

A demagogue is a person, or plural of such, who uses inflammatory language and actions to socially demonize, and stoke fear, phobia, hysteria and animosity toward and against, different or outsider others as well as to scapegoat another or others -- in effect, undertaking or campaigning to poison minds collectively against them and socially and politically enemyize, disfavor and marginalize them -- so as thereby to exercise and gain or secure mass, or populist, chauvinist influence and power. Ultimately, power is control, which when possessed by a demagogue is disposed to become abused and unaccountable control.

This article also reveals that when Donald Trump was US president, he once remarked to his chief of staff retired US general John Kelly that he needed [Nazi] generals like [Nazi Der Fuhrer] Hitler had [in WWII]. The Bill of Rights Constitutional United States of America needs the kinds of generals, including such as of recently retired, former US Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman Mark Milley of our time, and armed forces that the USA and then US President Franklin D. Roosevelt had against and who and which thoroughly defeated Nazi-nation state dictator Adolph Hitler's generals and military, which a US President Kamala Harris (unlike a subversive and traitorous, NAZI-sympathizer Donald Trump) would opt for and have for the USA.

Christianity was an almost entirely pacifist, altruist-love practicing and proselytizing branch (the New Testament) of Judaism founded by Jesus the Messiah and based on his teachings, way of life and the dictums of his afterlife appearances to particularly his apostles Peter and John, of altruistic love, caring mutuality and fellowship among all peoples, all tongues and nations (even in apostle John’s bleak chapter Revelations of the New Testament, Jesus admonishes that those whose names will be written into the book of life (to have heavenly eternal life) will be based on their good deeds). Initially, it was, after the death of Jesus by crucifixion, the Apostolic Universal (Catholic) Church, until it later became the adopted [institutional] religion of the Roman Empire under Roman Emperor Constantine the Great, after which time it became the Roman Catholic Church. Protestant and Eastern Orthodox Christianity branched from Roman Catholicism; Eastern Orthodox Christianity, including Greek, Coptic, Russian, etc., branched from it long before Protestantism. At root and fundamentally, true Christianity has nothing to do with racial, ethnic or other demographic identity and supremacy nor with provincialism or nationalism of any kind, which are all antithetical to true Christianity. Christianity originated in the Middle East and first spread to Asia Minor, Ionia and Greece, West Asia, Egypt and Ethiopia, not necessarily strictly in that order.

Islam became the predominate religion of these geographies, except for Greece and Ethiopia, as a result of the Arab military conquest of them, and other geographies, following the death of the de-facto first caliph of Islam and Islamic Arabia the Prophet Muhammad, 571 to 632 CE, the founder of Islam and a military conqueror and unifier of Arabia in the decades following the death of his wealthy-merchant, well-educated and highly religious first wife Kadijah bint Khuwaylid, 554 to 619 CE, 17 years older than him and his employer, of a wealthy and powerful merchant Arabian nuclear family and extended family. The Prophet Muhammad left behind himself in life upon his death, as its until then leader, one of the most well equipped, trained, battle-seasoned and powerful of armies in the world. Arabia itself was a province of the western division of the Roman Empire before the fall of the hegemony of the once-mighty western division of the Roman Empire, and its armed forces were well trained and armed by the Roman military long before the birth of the Prophet Muhammad. Furthermore, its armed forces were considered formidable by their Roman political-military overlords. But after the fall of rulership jurisdiction of the said Roman Empire, there was infighting within and among the armed forces and warlords of Arabia, until the growing and growingly successful armed forces of the Prophet Muhammad eventually conquered and unified them all under his command and authority, with the political and probable financial help of the family clan of his deceased first wife into which she was born.)

Marketplace Behavioral Choices as an Election Outcome Barometer & Informal Election Voter Poll as Relates to Donald Trump's Recent Major Business Ventures, Cryptocurrency & Truth/er Social, Bode Against His Electability as US President

(Click on the herewith hyperlink to read the news article: Trump Crypto Launch Flops Amid Outage, Doubts (newser.com)

If this bad news on Donald Trump's foray into the cryptocurrency market and the shockingly far-below-expectations, of market analysts, in the resultant actual low level of investment participation in it by the Trump-friendly investor market, as well as that of the recent sharp declines in both the value of the stock and company of his social media platform Truth/er Social (Click-on news-article link: DJT stock: Trump has lost $4 billion in Truth Social wipeout | CNN Business), is or are an election outcome behavioral barometer and informal political-voting trendline poll and thereof harbinger of the strength of support and unity of the GOP and plutocrat-class constituencies and their loyalty and enthusiasm for financially-and-morally-bankruptcy-legacy Donald Trump in actually voting for him (grandpa madman, bully, demagogue, misogynist, sexual-harasser, dirty-old-man-lecher Donald Trump) to be elected US president again (after a hiatus from the US presidency by rejection of him for reelection by a large majority of the votes of the electorate and Electoral College in the 11/2020 US presidential election) in the upcoming 11-05-2024 US presidential election, then I would not bet on his election to that office again or would bet a low-wager-to-high-returns ratio on him being elected or flat out bet against him. Election politics-related behavioral quasi-voting, such as the above referenced marketplace voting, or choosing, may be found to be competitive with traditional expert enterprise political elections polling. We shall know soon.

Moreover, numbers of individual voter, as well as total amounts of, political support contributions of money to competing candidates or referendum/a initiatives are an informal poll and indicator of the electorate's voting choices and majority-choice outcomes in elections, a voting choice indicator that at this time strongly weights in favor of the US Vice President Kamala Harris for US president candidacy according to the following Forbes Magazine news article: Donald Trump V. Kamala Harris 2024: Which Campaign Raised More Money (forbes.com) .

Perhaps the metamessage of the bad news for these recent major business ventures, trending as misadventures, of Donald Trump is that the large majority of investors, including Republicans, and people in general, don't trust a modus-operandi double-talking unscrupulous and dishonest person with their money, wives and daughters, and votes, and their democracy.

Non-fraud lying, without a material-loss victim, and lying that is not committed under statutory perjury law with respect to under-oath Congressional, law-enforcement- or judiciary-related testimony are largely not illegal and that is why Trump, the Southern-strategy reformed GOP, with a neo-Confederacy and neo-Nazi constituency faction, and you engage in and rely on it. The purpose of lying is to deceive, dupe and mislead as well as hide, cloud or obscure the truth. 

It is true that Democrat, traditionalist Republican and moderate and liberal independent voters up and down the electorate line have justifiably referred to Donald Trump, and now you J.D. Vance, in view of your recent political history as reported in the cited news above and more as fascistic or believers in autocracy, in the sense of expressing the desire or inclination for yourselves, as candidates for election as US president and vice president in the US presidential election day of November5, 2024, for an anti-US Constitutional authoritarian and dictatorship form of government and that both of you, based on your reported and videoed statements in the news, pose a danger to the USA Of, By and For the People Federal Constitutional Unalienable Democratic Bill of Right Republic form of government.  You now want to shut down that rightful criticism and charge against and earned by Donald Trump and you because it is a threat to the electability of both of you, your US presidential-vice presidential election candidacy ticket, in the upcoming US presidential general election at a time when you can no longer just appeal to your Southern-strategy reformed, Trump-for-dictator personality-cult Republican Party but must appeal to the general electorate and win over substantial votes from it in order to win the 2024 US presidential election.  Donald Trump is even trying to shift his political persona to one of a democratic identity in saying in the news that he took a bullet for democracy.  The criticism and earned charge, with continued and abundant corroboration, will continue permanently.

However, liars can be sued for money compensation for defamation or slander when they knowingly or recklessly publicly make false claims of [serious] misconduct or culpable character against persons or operational entities (bona-fide businesses, organizations, institutions, etc.).

Indeed, Democrats and traditionalist Republicans have sincerely said and continue to say that Trump is unfit in character to hold the national highest leadership government office in the USA of US president and is a danger to democracy in the USA and world, because he as US president in the months of November and December of 2020 and until January 6, 2021, the official Electoral College vote certification day of the 2020 US presidential election by the US Congress, following his failed bid for reelection on US presidential election day of November 3, 2020 against Democrat, former USA V.P. Joe Biden, together with members of his presidential administration, elected officeholders of his political party the GOP in the US Congress and in state governments, as well as private attorneys, attempted to USA unconstitutionally, via USA unconstitutional, USA Congressionally-unlegislated, fabricated extra-legal, sham and scam procedural schemes and insurrectionist terrorist mob incitement against the US Congressional chambers and his own GOP V.P. Pence, to retain the USA presidency for him/self, Trump, despite a fair and free 2020 US presidential election that  rejected power-intoxicated and addicted wannabe dictator Donald Trump. His appointed US attorney general, a Republican, investigative assistant or district US attorneys general, Republicans, DHS chief of federal elections oversight, a Republican, and federal court judges, Republicans and Democrats, all determined that the 2020 USA presidential election was virtually without fault, in having typically very few and insignificant in number instances of voter fraud and vote handling misconduct. Nevertheless, to the present time, Trump and his loyalists campaign falsely on the claim that the 2020 presidential election win of Biden was rigged against and stolen from him, Trump. Trump has also spoken publicly of suspending the USA Constitution, our every-citizen, egalitarian, democratic-rights Bill of Rights supreme law of the USA the USA Constitution and of wanting to be dictator of the USA for a day and to the effect of weaponizing law-enforcement agencies of the federal Civil Service against his enemies, apparently criminal and civil prosecutors, exposers, critics and bad-news and -PR journalists and press of his crime-grime-and-slime misdeeds. And Trump, whose gun-fire attacker on Saturday, July 13, 2024, was a registered member of the Republican Party, the Trump-led Republican Party, has publicly repeatedly suggestively threatened and encouraged violence against individuals, like saying former chairman of the USA armed forces’ Joint Chiefs of Staff General Mark Milley should be executed for treason, and like saying to the effect that there could be en masse political violence in reaction to his criminal trials as well as a loss by him in the 2024 USA presidential election (pending news verification, which is crowded out with news on the mentioned gun-fire attack on him, except for this one damning news item, https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/blame-abc-news-finds-17-cases-invoking-trump/story?id=58912889 ).

There is an abyss more to upload to public memory about the long trail of grotesque misdeeds and bad character of Donald Trump and his presidency, and its afterward chapter, which I will leave to others to do as I have little tolerance for and patience to even think about him and the yucky mess that he is.

Empirically, What Time Is

 What Time Is

Mathematically-empirically, Dynamic time (time 1) = distance (or length)/the rate (speed per unit of distance) of travel, transit, transpiration or decay of an object, event or object-event. Speed (dynamic time 2) = time/distance (or length). They are interrelated with and integral to one another.

Time is an objective reality, as every clock maker and user, musician, movie maker, teacher, student, doctor, biologist, geologist, astronomer, farmer, adult, elder, mortician, widow or widower, mother, (almost every) pubescent genetic girl, athlete, coach, racecar driver, timekeeper and audience, horse or dog racetrack jockey, timekeeper and audience, cook, vehicle engineer, builder, business operator, employee, etc., knows. The 3rd dimension of time is mere existence, the state of existence, the dwelling, durational state of being, aka presence, of a thing (object, event or object-event) or something or somethingness. Time is both dynamical and existential (potentially or theoretically a stasis state of being, as in existential-stasis time). In dynamic time there is sequence in motion, in the moment-to-moment progression of motion, in the motion of a thing or something, going from point A to point B, or from the start point, to the interim length, to the end, in and across the timestream, timescale and timescape of the thereby and therein streaming past, present and future) passage (sequential progression) at some given rate or set of rates of variable rates of slow or fast, or slow to fast, speed or velocity, or vice versa; however, existential time is the state of being unto itself of a thing, that seems to be or is theoretically free of dynamical time's distance and speed travel, transit, transpiration or decay, etc., motion frame-of-reference context of a thing. In the absence of such a context, existential time seemingly or theoretically lacks any motion (which in reality may be impossible in structures of inherently motional energy and matter, or either, in which in nature not even the fundamental quantum particles, ions, atoms and molecules of energy-matter structures are totally inactive and without motion, as even they either or do all: spin, oscillate, vibrate and/or transit), but may appear to or merely possibly indeed exist in behavioral or functional stasis. In any and all regard/s, time is duration, which may be finite, indefinite or, theoretically, infinite in extent, or duration and the rate of duration of a thing.

A universal, empirical definition of time is the state of existence and from-to duration (measure of duration, including its state of existence) of a thing (an object, event or object-event). Time for anything begins upon its inception and ends upon its death, terminus, cessation or dissolution.
