Tariffs Worked “Spectacularly Well”

You use 'fascist' regularly but can't define a specific fascist act.
Doublespeak. Fuck off.

I sometimes use fascist, but MAGA is turning the US into a far right authoritarian state. Anyway it's another straw man. I've been discussing tariffs.

Economic Impact of Tariffs Under Sections 232 and 301 on U.S. Industries
The prices of U.S. steel products have increased in recent years as well. Between December 2017 and December 2021, average monthly prices for hot-rolled steel (a common steel product frequently used to track steel prices) increased from $697 per metric ton to $1,855 per metric ton, an increase of 166.1 percent. Although prices have increased globally since 2018, the increase has been much higher in the United States than elsewhere, despite fluctuations during that period. These changes in imports, production, and prices have had impacts on downstream industries such as construction and automotive manufacturing that rely extensively on steel inputs.

The reason why countries don’t want tariffs on their goods is because you make them less competitive because you’re raising the costs on their goods which they have to pass to their consumers making their goods less competitive.
But hey, if Trump is pressuring US companies to absorb all of that (he’s taxing them, see GM) and then he gets a moron supporter to create a “Tariffs are work splendidly” post, those countries are happy to work under that system.
Again it’s math, that has to come from somewhere.

The Throbber has not relented.
No strawman. Consistency.
"Sometimes'.
Fuck off.

And again..Race can’t make an argument for himself yet again and needs to paste every rebuttal.
-
@PurpleThrobber Hey asshole…..MSTR is still down 20%!!!
-
You idiots still think that cost determines consumer prices.
-
Please illustrate the study and it's evidence. Should be easy H. Wouldn't want to mistake what your argument is.
-
You loved being locked down and lied to yet here you are. You communists are the same as fascists or socialists or nazis. You just make up names to hind behind.
-
I guess that was supposed to be profound(?).
It's pretty fucking obvious that I am not saying that.
-
You weren’t, Buck and AOG have bought into that nonsense idea. That’s who it was directed at, sorry for the confusion.

FOUR LINES OF CAPS LOCK FOR EMPHASIS
-
Facts are an argument
Hope this helps
Your opinion is obviously worthless
-
You don't have the numbers, only your speculation. I posted on page 2 or 3 a legit study. You don't have anything.
-
Trust the studies.
-
It's important to mention that @AOG only cares about academic studies.
Actually going to warehouses in Arizona, Cali and Texas and listening to the issues that ecomm is actually dealing with doesn't count in her mind.
FTZ's and shit would make her head explode.
-
Economics is not climate science. That's a false equivalence.
I don't only care about academic studies. Anyway the study was by the Fed itself (or at least that's the first author). Straw man (misrepresent my argument).
You can't fuck with me logically.
-
What if Jerome Powell said companies want to pass tariffs onto consumers but in many cases won’t be able to do so? Would that have sway with you?
-
Your argument was that you posted a legit study. It was a title and then a few sentences and no link.
It's nobody's job to formulate your argument the way you intend.
You don't have legit anything. You defer to "experts" because you have no proprietary knowledge nor experience on this topic, and then walk away. Just like every Seattle tool.
-
The link was on next page
-
Best part of The Big Short was the bankers going to housing developments themselves to see the housing market collapsing in real time while experts said everything is fine
-
Give the whole context and quote I'd read it. He's more reliable than TUG, I'd grant you.
-
Part of the problem here is that nobody has really fucked with world tariffs so much as present idiot is. The reason being is that tariffs suck.
-
Said that today. This board beat Powell to this point.
-
2018? Really? You didn't. Oh yes you did…
-
Too bad you're too FS to include it in your original point.
I read the abstract. Again, what do you have? I have proprietary databases with hundreds of millions of ecomm records going back to when the tariff war started and until now obviously.
I have 2018 data too but it's not even useful.
People are still buying shit. Which was posited by someone here and you willfully ignored that.
-
He's just saying it's a slow moving process, notes hysteresis, expects costs to be passed eventually to consumer. So what?
-
when he says company may not be able to pass on increase, he probably means they are out of business
