This is why they keep announcing and then delaying them. This will lengthen the time it takes for the inflation to begin, so they can try to claim that tariffs aren't causing any.

What am I looking at here….

The greedy U.S. appetite for things we don’t make because we thought that cheap labor would be enough to satisfy greedy white collar executives.

Imports of goods and services represent the value of all goods and other market services received from the rest of the world.

xer0s.bsky.social•4 hours ago

They include the value of merchandise, freight, insurance, transport, travel, royalties, license fees, & other services, such as communication, construction, financial, information, business, personal, and govt services.

They exclude compensation of employees and investment income (formerly called factor services) and transfer payments. Data are in current U.S. dollars.

I read a story about companies in PA that told their workers in December there would be no Christmas bonuses because they had to start stockpiling inventory to reduce the impact of Trump's tariffs, most of them were Trump voters and didn't understand what the actual ramifications were.

Watching Lutnick on CNBC now. They’re walking back the tariffs. Ah ha ha ha ha…..!

mreddie8976.bsky.social•6 hours ago

I want to see the orange felon sign an EO rescinding them

Otherwise, it's just more of Lutnick's bullshit

mjwaldow.bsky.social•6 hours ago

Yea this fixation about fentanyl. Lutnick is just spouting Trump propaganda right now.

blossombenson.bsky.social•6 hours ago

For now. Trump sees everyone as his enemy now so everyone's going to suffer. He's a cat. We're ALL mice. He's so crazy.

Or, it's deliberately intended to crash the economy

Wasn't there some skipping dipshit telling people that Americans are "going to feel some pain"?

blossombenson.bsky.social•5 hours ago

Well, I read right up to point where WSJ wanted me to pony-up.

Moved my entire retirement somewhere safer because, unlike last time Trump ruled, I AM retired. I don't have six YEARS to catch back up. If I'd made my move one day earlier I wouldn't have lost A LOT of money. I hope everyone with retirement savings does the same. He's here to destroy EVERYTHING.

And if they don't hit, we will still have a glut. Great Job President Musk(ovite).

People react to incentives, plain and simple.

Yes they are! They ALL voted for this disgusting human being

Lutnick sounds like Republicans before the Iraq War. They’ll embrace us! Now, all manufacturing will come back into the US and these countries won’t do anything about it. They’ll just happily have their revenue go away and thank the US.

Raising inventories before a recession sounds like a dummy move to me.

I did my part. I bought my new car, which should last me 10 years, with cash last December. Feeling pretty good about that. It's also a hybrid, so somewhat insulated from surges in gasoline prices.

rustyoldcrow.bsky.social•5 hours ago

Paid cash this time last year for what will probably be the last car we need to buy before the kids take the keys away. We are real homebodies so we don't worry much about gas prices.

deanauker.bsky.social•6 hours ago

Carl?! Lutnick is on CNBC right now saying Trump is caving in on Tariffs with Canada and Mexico. If they follow USMCA there’s no tariffs ?!?! They were already following USMCA!! This administration is a joke and Americans are paying a price
