Reminder: Tariffs aren't paid by other countries. They're eventually paid by us at the check out line. And they're regressive — taking a higher percentage out of the paychecks of working people than out of the wealthy.

Why do economists worry so much about the economic impact associated w/tariffs? Putting this out there so there is some clarity on why most economist worry about tariffs, which are at best a blunt tool, to cure what ails us. When used to cure so many problems, beware law unintended consequences.

NEW 🧵 A quick thread of charts showing how Trump’s economic agenda is going so far: 1) US consumers are reacting very very negatively. These are the worst ratings for any US government’s economic policy since records began.

Countries in the global south must run trade surpluses to earn dollars to repay their dollar debts. Now they are being punished with US tariffs further having done so. The result is that they will go bankrupt, with massive consequences for billions of people. www.taxresearch.org.uk/Blog/2025/04...

Hey #US #consumers, when these #Senators say its just short term pain from #tariffs... in 2016 UK politicians told UK consumers the same about #Brexit and loss of free #trade. 9 years on, still pain, no gain and your daily living gets more expensive. Politicians come and go.. End of..

Smoke and mirrors. Highest #tariffs applied to emerging mrkts with less trade with #USA. #Singapore 10%, so Chinese companies can register their biz there for exporting to USA at 10% rather than 34%. No such thing as American built #cars, the components/parts are from many countries.

Boycotting Tesla is not "illegal", as Trump claims. The purpose of a boycott is to send a clear message: We the people have the power and choice to not give our hard-earned cash to billionaire oligarchs.

I got laid off today, with the rest of 18F. 18F was an elite federal software shop. We made gov't websites work better, more efficiently for the American people. We saved taxpayers from getting screwed over by contractors. And were fired for it. We made this website to tell our story: 18f.org

In case you were wondering why Chinese tariffs are 15% less than for Canada and Mexico, follow the money. Elon Musk currently has a 4,500,000 sq. ft. car manufacturing plant in China. Tesla does not currently have car plants in Canada or Mexico. One is planned for Mexico. In time for a tariff lift.
