What is dumb about these tariffs?
The tariffs are paid by the importing company in order to incentivize American production. But the industries are gone, there is not "made in the USA" shyt like that. So the tariff money will get put right back into the product cost, be it t-shirts, televisions what have you.

if the tariffs actually happened, it would raise the price of everything coming from china, which is like everything we buy :dead:

but it's not gonna happen. tariffs was just a stupid thing for trump to say on the campaign trail, to sound like he knew what he was talking about, and give him a policy to "talk tough" about. the people around him will never actually let him do it

also, he proposed tariffs as an alternative to getting rid of all taxes. that's not happening, so it's DOA

All you have to do is look at what Trump did to the farmers when he started a trade war and put tariff on the Chinese imports. Chinese retailated against US exporters which caused US agriculture exports to drop like crazy. They also said fukk it we ain't buying anything then. US farmers soybean products dropped by 75%. Farmers lost crazy money and i think some went for bankruptcy.

Trump admin spent 28 billion in taxpayer dollars to give farmers bailout money.
Brexit also has some lessons about isolationist policies. We going to go through it.

Who in this projected Trump cabinet is going to be the voice of reason? He burned through the GOP establishment with his last revolving door of cabinet members and WH staff.

Scaramucci coming back?

Mike Johnson will sit him down and say "this is fukking stupid, you're not doing it. just sign this tax cut instead"

here's the thing, breh; trump doesn't give a shyt about actually governing. he won the election; that's all he cares about. he doesn't have some kind of ruthless plan laid out, that he cares about implementing; he's a fukking idiot, who's there to play golf and ride around on the plane

This is probably fake but assuming Trump really just gets a bunch of maga yes men as his financial advisors and they greenlight a blanket tariff this will be the actual outcome.

I agree to the 2nd paragraph, but pretty sure his first trade war of tariffs didn't go thru Congress. Trump acts on bad instincts all the time, all the "adults in the room" from his 1st term endorsed Kamala. Only sycophants are left

Ok, bring those industries back to the US. I get it You're gonna say it isn't reasonable etc., but at the end of the day it's a solution not an excuse. Business owners already don't pay taxes on their earnings like that so the next best thing is to tax them on the materials they use to conduct business. A tariff in theory on cheap chinese/Indian shyt that could be made here is not a bad thing at all it's the fact that people are gonna allow the business owners to punish them by raising prices on them that is what is bad.

It is probably too expensive. It is not a lot of CEOs and board of directors ready to pay Americans 15$ an hour when they can pay a bangladeshi 15cents an hour. It's too big of a price difference.

Not only that they might be thinking instead of a factory in the US, I just need to wait out Trump.

Right.

No fukking idea what the tariffs will be, what goods will be affected, when they will be enacted…but let’s go ahead and purchase three years of raw materials just because.

They even threw in Christmas bonus to tug at heartstrings.
:martin:

People know what they produce and where they source material from. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure that out.

Why do you think all these manufacturing/construction was shutting down projects before the government officially declared covid a pandemic here?
