My first thought when Trump was saying China would pay the tariffs was, “But then they’ll raise the price they sell to America to maintain profit and it’ll cost more.” Then thought, “But don’t our companies pay it? And they’ll raise sell price to maintain profit.” No winning.
Fool them again and again and again... And again. Casinos, steaks, and schools. Tacky to the wealthy, rich to the poor. You know it's quality because somehow it has always been somebody else's fault when it failed.
What makes you think that I simply hope CEOs will magically pay their employees more?
Do you have no idea how employees win better pay?
Whatch the news!
Unions across the US on strike fighting for better pay.
How naive. You can be left and not support unions. It is called a living wage. And the simplest way to ensure that the living wage keeps up is by tying it to the GDP. This would ensure that a nation that is productive is a nation that pays well.
What I am is pro worker. That includes republican workers. That means building cross party solidarity. That means not dismissing them and calling them names.
And even they have been largely convinced anything that helps the working man is evil communism. The amount of currently anti-union union members is high as fuck.
I have explained to MAGA supporters who just don't understand what a tariff means. I even explained in Layman’s Terms that if an Apple Watch is $399 and Trump puts a 25% tariff and then another 10% just for spite. That is $399x35%=$138.65 you pay on top comes to $538.65.
I know, that logic and critical thinking aren't MAGA strengths. Even if you don't understand tariffs ... if we could just make other countries pay more for imports to lower our prices,wouldn't we have already done it? Asking for my sanity.
I'm no economist, but logic dictates that if we could make the Chinese pay a tax to us, they could make us pay a tax to them. But how? Obvious nonsense.
It's honestly easy by the way Trump thinks. It's tearing down economic trading with external sources. He's been wanting to bring jobs back, and this will do that because nobody will want to buy the crap we export if the tariffs are high enough.
You'll have to ask him that, because that's what he wants to do. And if he can make enemies in the process, I guess that's supposed to be a bonus for us Americans. That's the way he wants to run things. I'd frankly love to see it quite different.
The majority of voters, have no idea how tariffs work and will blame increased prices on Biden's inflation. In fact Republicans will probably flat out say that's the problem. And Democrats are too spineless to correct them.
If it was JUST Fox news it wouldn't be a huge deal. All our other mass media outlets will also follow suit. That's the problem. They're all in the pocket of the GOP.
Don't forget about a basket of food getting significantly more expensive as migrant labor dries up. The farms are probably pretty unhappy right now (I'm very doubtful they can find US citizens willing to do the grueling backbreaking work of working the fields).
I just, I don't think they will ever understand the gravity of their choices. I fear we project far too much rationale and understanding that is not possessed. Our country has ashamedly raised too many fools, and the world will pay, us most of all 😓😓😓. The good that's not obtained will be lamented.
I'm sorry but I do not understand. All this man does is lie. And we believe him when he says this. Stop dwelling on what he says. DWELL ON WHAT HE DOES.
MAGA+Mainstream media say 'economics' is the reason they voted Trump so they don't have to say the real reason
MAGA voted for Trump because Trump hates who they hate
MAGA voted for hate because that's what they support
MAGA voted for a criminal, rapest, con-man, fraud, incest ❤️ bc that's who they R
wait 'til energy costs and housing construction costs go up!
why should Canada and Mexico pay for America's ineffective border security and DEA
We'll put tariffs on American goods until America stops shipping weapons
Oh this is so me! LOL I was raised in a rural Texas town, I have the accent (drawl), can't get rid of it. EVERYONE assumes I must love Trump when I'm the furthest thing from a Trump supporter, Republican, or fascist conservative.
You all missing what (could) will probably happen. Trump declare trade war and biggest tarrif ever. Do nothing in reality. Price don't explode. Trump declare full victory and that nobody is playing USA anymore. People call him a genius that put tarif without tanking the economy
Too bad these people couldn’t understand this before the election. They screwed us all. The future is so uncertain now. Not buying anything at all until I see where this is going.
They know that China won't pay for the tariffs. The problem is that the Trumpsters don't actually care about inflation, it was just a way of bashing the democrats, even though the inflation was mostly caused by Covid.
They will never complain about the inflation from the tariffs, trust me.

Chinese products are cheap because the workers are over paid and underworked.
By buying domestically produced products you know the workers are treated better.
Outsourcing is not a good solution to peoples affordability problems.

It's such basic leftwing practice that If you're not a member of a union I don't think you can call yourself left.

The US cannot vote for a pro-union party.
The only counter measure is to build cross-party worker solidarity.
Steve Bannon scammed them out of $25 million for Trump's stupid vanity wall, got busted for it, and pardoned by Trump.
And they all still think Steve Bannon is the shit.
I guarantee it.
