At least two threads discussing the effects the tariffs may potentially have on pinball manufacturing and its effects on the pinball community (some who's lively hood depends on it) have been shut down by mods in the last 2 days (one which had been going for more than 5 years).

I understand the general policy to not discuss politics in a pinball forum, BUT when a monumental situation like this occurs that has the potential to change the future of pinball as we all know it, it really feels like we should be able to all come together on the worlds largest pinball forum to discuss this evolving situation openly.

Mods delete politically charged posts if you need to, but please can we keep these threads open so an important topic like this can be discussed.
