Which company in their right mind would commit to investing the required billions in moving manufacturing to the U.S. when the President’s tariff policies change daily with no warning? There may not be a worse way of trying to attract investment. - ThreadSky

Volvo, for one.

esbendalsgaard.bsky.social•12 days ago

Volvo (Geely) has produced cars in USA since 2018 in Ridgeville, South Carolina. They are planning to expand the production there, which they probably would have done anyway. Hardly just an effect of terrifs

Sounds like an assumption or your part. Fact of the matter is that they do invest in US production, and that they seem to go through with it regardless of the Trump-induced volatility. I never said it was an effect of the tariffs - I just countered Oliver’s argument.

It's from the Whack-A-Mole School of Economics
Nobody's ever seen anything like it

Even if they calmed down and elected a normal human, who would invest if this can happen again in four years?

@oalexanderdk.bsky.social Even #Trump is businessman enough to know that.

janesbech.bsky.social•12 days ago

Under normal circumstances absolutely true. Now go read up on CEOs and shareholders of companies that might invest…..yeah, right, many of them will wag their tail and follow

rasmusdotse.bsky.social•12 days ago

Of course they will invest. But not in the US.

janesbech.bsky.social•12 days ago

I hope you are right

rasmusdotse.bsky.social•12 days ago

This guy explain why.

janesbech.bsky.social•12 days ago

Its not that I do not understand your rationale. Its that I doubt we are dealing with rational people with good intentions. Take a look at the billionaire list (tech bros and hangarounds) and look at their actions on behalf of their companies the past months

rasmusdotse.bsky.social•12 days ago

They’re not the ones in control of manufacturing to any large extent.

davehaterofracism.bsky.social•12 days ago

Absolutely - the very worst thing for investment is uncertainty.

madammem.bsky.social•12 days ago

Uncertainty investment is only worthwhile if the reward is high enough.

I don't think shoving the US economy into a recession or depression is a good way to motivate people to invest.

Also, if I can build manufacturing in country A and only sell goods in that country or build in country B and sell goods to many countries, I'm only going to build in country A after I've built everything I need to in country B.

I agree. I fully expect this to have terrible repercussions on the economy, esp. in the US regardless of stock market moves. No one will invest here, and Canada/EU countries will likely poach a lot of our non tech-bro talent.

Haven’t you heard? Being a dependable trading partner and ally is woke

If there is he'll find it or have some batshit crazy Heritage or Claremont idiot suggest it to him.

He is enriching his friends. This is insider trading. Tells his friends to buy low, cancel tariffs they make billions. BLATANT FRAUD OF THE ENTIRE WORLD
