Instead of reading and thinking, you intentionally derail the discussion by oversimplifying, misstating facts, ad hominem attacks and obfuscation. It's your shtick, over and over again. Thread after thread. Day after day. Year after year. Painstakingly boring, but it must give you some joy. Congrats.creepycoug said:

Chinese girls are so gentlecreepycoug said:
None. I think cultural differences make sitting down at the table with China unrealistic. They'll nod their heads in agreement on some things, obstinately refuse to discuss others, and in the end, the facts will show they were never going to give an inch.SFGbob said:
If this were just about an unfair trade deal I'd be more sympathetic the anti-tariff side but at this point what other sticks do we have to deal with China's rampant theft?creepycoug said:
Stipulated. Tarriffs suck. They are inefficient. They are an externality to what would otherwise be an efficient trade transaction.BennyBeaver said:

The simple fact is that they need our market a lot more than we need theirs. Supply chains are already moving away from China as cheap labor dries up and as the population begins to age. Vietnam, India, etc. Opening our markets to them(which once upon a time I believed in) has failed to do anything other than create a neo-facist almost super power in the world.
Sorry not sorry, a little short term pain for American consumers is a small price to pay to avoid a world dominated by the CCP. It's definitely preferable to world war 3 nuclear bugaloo. Happy to hear the alternative method to bring the CCP to heel that's better. Convince me and I'll advocate for that.
But national trade policy, theirs and ours, is its own inefficiency, but it's as real as the nose on your face.
Listen, you are preaching to the choir here. But when the deal isn't fair and you have to eat more shit than the other guy, it's not a horrible thing to throw a punch.
Long-term, no question; protectionist policy will cause us to rot from the inside out. Short-term?
They're really such a tease

In all seriousness, it sounds like you're a tool, then. Diversify your sourcing, stop being a tool and make yourself less dependent and vulnerable to tariffs, if you can. We all gotta tighten our belts sometimes.BennyBeaver said:

Resourcing is not like flipping a switch, not when you are beholden to safety and quality standards. Dual sourcing has it's benefits but also detriments, like not maximizing your purchasing power.
Either way, the tariffs will hit you in the wallet.

So which is it Benny? Is your company gonna have to move production to Mexico or are they simply going to use another supplier outside of China? And since you sell what sounds like the equivalent of a home based cold fusion reactor, why would you care either way.BennyBeaver said:
This is just such a dim, myopic view of how goods are manufactured in a global economy.RaceBannon said:
Assuming they want to by the crap you import from ChinaBennyBeaver said:
Either way it will cost us billions.SFGbob said:
Something had to be done. Ignoring the problem wasn't working. China's theft of US intellectual property was costing us billions.YellowSnow said: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.
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.
I guess white trash needs those cheap knock off stolen goods, right @CirrhosisDawg ?
Be a better business man and stop relying on crap to make a buck
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. -
