Rarely has an economic policy been repudiated as soundly, and as quickly, as President Trump’s Liberation Day tariffs—and by Mr. Trump’s own hand. Witness the agreement Monday morning to scale back his punitive tariffs on China—his second major retreat in less than a week. This is a win for economic reality, and for American prosperity.
I don't know why anyone is surprised. The consumer has simply gotten in under the wire to make some major pre—tariff purchases and is otherwise spending less. Keep thinking positively, girls. It's possible the consumer spending slowdown will act as a modest check on prices.
Only the economists that the media listened to were surprised.
No one actually gives a fuck about tariffs or inflation on cheap consumer products. There are a million substitutions and lots of competition there. Thus price will matter a lot to buying decisions which has been my whole argument that you now seem to agree with.
People give a shit about high inflation on food and fuel where there are a lack of tradeoffs.

I'm very happy for you Christina, but that really wasn't the question
You claimed that Americans won’t work in factories. I gave a first-hand account of that we will and can be successful.
It’s really not my fault that you can’t do anything other that copy H or attack a guy’s religion. I’m guessing I’m paying for your life in some way.

Just because you don't like the answer doesn't mean it's not there.

Laughable
First and right.
China's paying 30% tariffs right now under the new deal. USA is paying Chinna 10% tariff rate. Who won?
