Yea. But that’s just CNBC. They’re basically just Daddy’s personal publisher.

OK I studied tariff trends over the last 25 years. True, foreign tariffs are generally higher and vary place to place. However until Trump's first term all tariffs were basically pretty low. Our imports tariffs were virtually nonexistent creating (to no surprise) a lot of low priced goods. Yes, there were exceptions and negotiations brought a lot of the tariffs down. It was until Trump's first term that tariffs started to be a major factor. And that was nothing compared with the onslaught of chaos that he's brought to the world now.

Keep studying

Now do the 167 countries that charge tariffs on U.S. goods. I'll wait! Turnabout is fair play!

I haven't seen a damn thing from you as far as a report. The point of this is that tariffs have for most of this century not been a big factor. They are used especially for specific products and specific countries. But not to just tariff the fuck out of the world and pass the burden on to US citizens. The wise way to use tariffs is selectively and with care, judiciously not with a sledgehammer.

I’m here to be nice. There is a lot of other stuff besides tariffs that act as barriers to trade, especially with Europe that aren’t apparent in the rates. If you have something to sell there that has a local producer/competition, good luck getting it in and making money off of it.

Dodge and weave wimpster, dodge and weave!

Like I said, I haven't seen a thing from you. Prepare a report to support your argument. I already conceded that foreign tariff rates were generally more than ours. But historically, the rates were still in general pretty low all around.

Both Bob and I gave thoughtful answers that went into why we think tariffs won't be passed on.
Previous tariffs had a pass on rate of basically less than a hundredth of a percent.
Simply calling that "hand waving" and "smoke and mirrors" isn't an argument. It's definitely not "destroying" our points.
Keep on keeping on i guess.
