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

    My father-in-law, has term he uses where he says, "Oh, that piece of crap is made from Chineseum".

    Benny, how would you address these problems with China alternatively though? 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.

    I’m not advocating for any other policy, just illustrating the effects tariffs are having on my industry, and in turn the 🇺🇸 consumer.

    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.
    Thank you Captain Obvious.

    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.
    From China? laughing Bolton gif

    That shitty air that has us only having 12 years to live is a direct result of companies closing their eyes to how the shit they buy from China is made

    But AMERICA pulled out of the Paris Accords!!!!!!!!
    NO NOT FROM CHINA YOU FUCKING BELLEND.

    Do you have any idea what ISO or QS or IATF means? Rhetorical question. Carpet layers would have not clue.
    I'm a black belt and have run programs in India and China. Sure, it's a bitch to change over but how do you think those suppliers ended up in China in the first place? They weren't there 20-30 years ago.
    Black belt? Neato.

    Sure, it's a bitch to change over...that's what I've said multiple tims...

    Some in this thread (you know who) have a very, very simplistic view of what it is required to be a world-class manufacturing leader. Equate it to a simple import of trinkets. No fucking clue.

    FM for explaining how these tariffs will effect them.

    CHINA BAD. ME NO LIKE CHEAP SHIT FROM CHINA.

    All the while they have been benefiting from goods produced there.

    Captain of industry and world manufacturing leader: working for w2 wages and posting on the internet constantly. You seem invaluable
    Hey, if we are bashing being efficient and smart enough to get your work done while shit poasting on HH then I am out!
    Sounds like you should ask for more work.

    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.
    Assuming they want to by the crap you import from China

    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
    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.
    So you get a portion of your party favors from China. But you source from all over the globe. So your total cost isn't going up 25%, only that portion. How much knock off stolen garbage do you use from China? Is there nowhere else on the globe you can get that?

    Turd is right, Phil Knight didn't pass the savings of using child labor along to the consumer and I doubt your fireworks company does either.
    Never said our total costs are going up 25%, only the costs of components affected by the tariffs.

    We could source these components from other suppliers, but it takes time and $ to do so.

    Or we can continue to use the same suppliers, but have our Mexican entities do the importing and assembly of our party favors, no tariffs. But then high paying jerbs are moved from the US to Mexico. Sad!
    You’re company must be quite nimble to be able to pull up stakes and fire up the production line in the drop of a hat like that. But I’m guessing that your company already has production facilities in Mexico, amirite?

    Yeah that's it go with that when you get your ass kicked on your whining and bitching about your big company

    The rest rooms need cleaning. Get off the internet
    I get it, you got into something you don't really understand and refuse to try. It's too bad, you could have learned something.

    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.

    Also in summation, using government to control markets (through taxes, tariffs, and regulations) is futile and self-defeating in both international and domestic markets.

    Benny, how would you address these problems with China alternatively though? 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.

    We? You sound super important being able to post on an message board arguing with strangers all day and what not.
    And in comes the TweedleDee to Race's TweedleDum.

    Hooray.

    Benny, how would you address these problems with China alternatively though? 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.

    I’m not advocating for any other policy, just illustrating the effects tariffs are having on my industry, and in turn the 🇺🇸 consumer.

    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.
    Thank you Captain Obvious.

    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.
    I already pay for American Blue Jeans, punk. They're worth every penny and not subject to tariffs, so I'm fine.

    From China? laughing Bolton gif

    That shitty air that has us only having 12 years to live is a direct result of companies closing their eyes to how the shit they buy from China is made

    But AMERICA pulled out of the Paris Accords!!!!!!!!
    NO NOT FROM CHINA YOU FUCKING BELLEND.

    Do you have any idea what ISO or QS or IATF means? Rhetorical question. Carpet layers would have not clue.
    I'm a black belt and have run programs in India and China. Sure, it's a bitch to change over but how do you think those suppliers ended up in China in the first place? They weren't there 20-30 years ago.
    Black belt? Neato.

    Sure, it's a bitch to change over...that's what I've said multiple tims...

    Some in this thread (you know who) have a very, very simplistic view of what it is required to be a world-class manufacturing leader. Equate it to a simple import of trinkets. No fucking clue.

    FM for explaining how these tariffs will effect them.

    CHINA BAD. ME NO LIKE CHEAP SHIT FROM CHINA.

    All the while they have been benefiting from goods produced there.

    Nope. Just a sales guy who understands his business and whose pipeline is full for the next 5 years.

    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.

    Hey, if we are bashing being efficient and smart enough to get your work done while shit poasting on HH then I am out!
    Sounds like you should ask for more work.
    "Burden the eager donkey" Been there, done that in the consulting world. I'd rather get paid for being smart than for working hard.
