If we dumped a few billion in cash on the tarmac in Beijing I'm sure the ChiComs would be nicer to us.
Or, tell them to "knock it off". That will surely work.

We do know that Trump’s threats are credible. He began saying how much he loved tariffs long before he ran for office. The irony is that his protectionist stance could pave the way for freer trade, first with China and then with the European Union.


That's kind of important for a change

Who knows if the new TUFF on China approach will work or not. But we do know that the old approach wasn't.

I like free trade with allies and frens. Maybe China just doesn't want to be our fren.

Something had to be done. Ignoring the problem wasn't working. China's theft of US intellectual property was costing us billions.

Either way it will cost us billions.

My company is being hit with the tariffs. Guess what? In the short-medium term, we aren't going to resource components away from the suppliers. Nope. That takes time and $.

We will pass the tariff along to our customer, who in turn will pass it along to their customer, who will pass it along to their customer, who will pass it along to their customer, who will pass it along to their customer, who will pass it along to the citizens of the US in the form of higher prices.

Tariffs equal free trade
War is peace
$1 billion losses equal profit
We have to destroy markets to save them
Protectionism equals free markets

Contractors used to buy drywall from China. That worked out great after all the lawsuits for putting formaldehyde in people's houses

This is just such a dim, myopic view of how goods are manufactured in a global economy.

Our products are made of components sourced from all over the world, including the good ol' USA. Our products/services are recognized as the technological and quality gold standard in the industry, are in high demand and never the cheapest alternative.

We hold a dominant market position of #1 or #2 in almost every product line we produce in every region.

So, we will continue to source components from the best cost country in the short and medium term and pass the 25% tariff on to our customers. As such, the tariff will get passed on to you Mr. Race Bannon in the form of higher prices, because everything you touch in your daily life in the past, present and future will have to utilize our products.

Global economy

Well, stop whining and live with it

The USA is part of the globe.

If you source from all over the world then losing the cheap knock off stolen shit from China shouldn't hurt your party favor business.

You raise something I want 25% I go elsewhere. Its global you know

Where is the whining? I'm just stating the facts, higher costs will get passed on to you, the consumer.

Who is talking about party favors? I'm talking about highly engineered products, designed into products that you cannot live without.

I love this global/corporatist bullshit where people like BennieBrainwashed pretend that they care more about my prices being low instead of the exploding profit they make, when something like MacBooks are made in China vs California. The price didn't move an inch, but the profit increased five-fold when manufacturing moved off-shore.

It's all about profit, not quality or low prices, dumbass.

@UW_Doog_Bot do you want to reply to this retard about micro economics? I’m happy to do so myself but you do a good job explaining how supply-demand dynamics clear markets.
