Economy Tariffs for one, Tariffs for all! (doubled tariffs on China)

[avenue94]

You're first question is misguided and myopic.

Mirror Tariffs make the cost of foreign goods more expensive helping our manufacturing and workers in huge ways. It makes America more competitive against slave labor markets and destroys those slave labor markets. Besides encouraging fair trade, it reduces the trade imbalance (trade deficit), it protects American industries being preyed on by foreign adversaries, it's a huge leverage in negotiations, and it promotes foreign entities to reduce their tariffs against the U.S.A.

You're welcome.

What specific industry will these tariffs boost? Companies? Any specifics besides platitudes?

There are about 35 million able bodied adults that could be working but are not. That is more than enough.

No, there's not. Do you understand how huge the multi directionsl supply chain is?

Yes there is. 1 in 3 Americans are on some sort of welfare benefits. How many do you think could be working if they had the motivation and/or a stable job were available?

There are about 160 million working Americans. Do you not understand how fractions work, aka half vs one third?

Man I'm as hardcore conservative as you can get and you're just straight up cottagecheese for brains.

OOF

 

[Limbo Pete]

No man you just press the spawn button to get more workers and chickens it's that easy.

"This tarriff requires more minerals."

Aren't a lot of them working but in low paid jobs or jobs that don't give them enough hours?

So now it can be made here and help our manufacturing? Don’t you know how manufacturing works? Where there is demand, we create supply

Your average Trump voter ladies and gentlemen

Tarriffs to bring in manufacturing dirt countries do just makes everything in the US cost more while tilting the decks towards favoring lefists wants.

Leftists are free market while Right wingers are for import substitution.

Trump's America gentlemen

Liberals are free market, conservatives are as well. Bernie bros wanted in house everything but didn't use the word tarrifs (they didn't have a plan) Trumpers have no idea what economic planning is (their plan makes no sense)

Large Pension funds are selling their Tesla stock.
A lot of people like to call Leon smart because he is rich but off course they dont understand how leveraged he is with his Tesla stock. If he gets margin called, when it sinks below a certain price he will be proper fucked. What will probably happen is Leon will get a big government contract to soften his share price tanking. We paid Leon billons to have a woman on the moon by 2024, but I guess Leon is like all the other government workers and just cashing checks and looking at porn all day on my dime.

As he helps fight DEI, Musk's SpaceX has a huge contract to send 1st woman, person of color to the moon

As Elon Musk helps the Trump administration eliminate DEI, his SpaceX currently has a NASA contract to help land the first woman and first person of color on the moon.

I have sold a ton of my stocks. I am sitting on a ton of cash. I will wait out this dumb tariff war, and then jump back in the market and profit. For a guy who ran on cost of goods are too damn high, President Blood Thinners is making it even worse.
I only hold dividend stocks and about 20% of my portfolio is in an ETF that shorts the market, which has been doing nicely.

I got rid of all my Tesla stock the day after I saw Elon sieg heil, both for ideological and financial reasons. It's down I believe over $130 a share from what I sold it at.

Good thing Bernie bros are the minority in the Democratic party unlike Trumpers.

And work where exactly? you talk as if there was a lot of unused capacity in the American economy.

It takes billions, if not over a trillion to set up shop, and those billions won't come as long as Donald Trump keeps this schizo behaviour.

They are eerily similar at times. But I agree with you sentiment

Lol at shade being thrown at "Bernie bros." What the Democratic Party has been doing has really been working out well

At least Democrats still have a party, the Republican party all submitted to Trump and its now a platform for him and him alone.

That's why the party of "free markets" suddenly became the party of "import substitution".

A party of telling us they can't do anything and won't reform while asking for money

Where are you getting that number from?

There is actually a lot the “Bernie bros” could get onboard with here. Their argument is the wealthy oligarchs don’t pay enough taxes with their crazy profit margins, corporate salaries, etc.

The MAGA argument is those wealthy corporations should bring their manufacturing back to provide decent jobs to Americans at the cost of globalist corporations

That provides jobs, decent and stable income, etc. helps bring up people that otherwise are in poverty. Helps regentrify economic hubs, rebuild infrastructure

Bernie’s movement was unrealistic in that we just keep providing benefits with no manufacturing here? All just slow skill service jobs or high end administrative or tech jobs?

There needs to be skilled manufacturing jobs that make up the middle ground. Otherwise just a bunch of unskilled peasants and over educated elite class, which is why the wealth gap only continues to increase.

Otherwise you have California trying to justify 20 dollar per hour fast food workers, rodiculous

Trump is just spouting Import Substitution BS that its barely one step above socialism.

It just doesn't works.
