  1. It is not that simple when you consider logistics and supply chains along with the global market supply and demand. Theoretically yes. A 10% or more across the board tariff does not factor in any of the complex issues and will most assuredly result in higher prices for all of us at least in the short term. I believe in free and fair trade using tariffs only as a last resort to maintain fairness where outside influence contradicts.
  2. Well let me be clear because there is much confusion. The Chinese government or manufacturer of the good does not pay anything to the US govt. The tariff is paid for by the importer, the entity importing the goods to the US. The importer can 1) absorb the cost 2) Increase the price of the good to the consumer and/or 3) negotiate with the exporter (China in this case) on a lower selling price. Historically it has been some combination of all three. What we saw with the Trump tariffs is that 100% of the tariff was passed to the consumer and sometimes it's even more. The clothes washing machine tariff saw prices increase by more than Trump's tariff. Same with solar panels. I explain this because Donald Trump doesn't understand this and my assumption is people who support tariffs do not understand this either.
  3. China pays the tariff? As in the govt of China pays the US Govt the tariff?
  4. Do you want to discuss tariffs and who pays the tariff?

    So will you admit now that you were wrong?

    ***Official Trump beat up the kamel again thread****

    Harris had a good debate but she failed at teaching him what a tariff is and how it works. No one has ever done that and they really really should.

    Impressive performance by Kamala Harris tonight. Donald Trump looked old, angry, tired, unhinged and annoyed. Be interesting to see the polling after this

    Trump talk only- no Eagles talk allowed (Steelers talk is OK though)

    Harris wins this debate if she keeps the topics in abortion and tariffs. If she explains to trump what a tariff is and how women want choice, then it's over.

    Following another school shooting, Donald Trump today talked about defending the second amendment hiding behind bullet proof glass.

    You're choosing to believe a random social media post over the local police reports. That's your choice but it doesn't make you right.

    Not me, the police. The Springfield Police Department says it's dealt with its fair share of rumors and misinformation. "I think it's sad that some people are using this as an opportunity to spread hate or spread fear," says Officer Jason Via, Deputy Director of Public Safety and Operations. "We get these reports 'the Haitians are killing ducks in a lot of our parks' or 'the Haitians are eating vegetables right out of the aisle at the grocery store'. And we haven't really seen any of that. It's really frustrating. As a community, it's not helpful as we try to move forward," Via says.

    A tale of disinformation... spread by hateful individuals. Social media spreads lies through the weakest of the weak. True patriots seek the truth and fight against the lies.

    Trump's decline continues. He admitted that he lost the election, and then that he interfered in the election. Keep doing those interviews.

    They might, but they do turn on foxnews which has more viewership than CNN and MSNBC combined. And foxnews is biased.

    A serious person doesn't talk about the left wing media bias while ignoring the right wing media bias. And since you asked, fox news viewership is through the roof because they are very good at what they do, which is scare and manipulate their viewers to watch. They appeal to low IQ voters through fear with the constant alerts and the wall to wall doom and gloom and only showing stories that keep people connected to their tvs

    Perversion of culture. I'll never understand how honor and defense of the fallen has become weakness.

    Calls the US Army a bunch of liars. On brand with hating the military. This was enough for Jimmy McCain, John McCain's son. After denigrating Senator McCain's military record and denying that he's a war hero, this stunt was the straw that broke the proverbial camels back. Jimmy McCain has endorsed Kamala Harris and will be switching parties in opposition to trump. And Mike Pence yesterday said he can't vote for Trump. His former VP is against him. Brutal day for Donald.

    Foxnews has higher viewership than MSNBC and CNN combined. You also forgot Newsmax, NY Post, Sinclair who owns most of the local news, epoch times, Washington times, Breitbart, wall St journal, fox business, daily caller, oan and now X. If you're going to opine about being saddened that folks take the media as truth you have to look at your own side doing the same thing and be honest with yourself.

    Donald Trump can't get his abortion message right. He brags about overturning roe, then he says he's voting against the Florida 6 week ban because it's not enough, then he says free govt IVF for everyone, now he says he's voting for the Florida abortion ban. He will take whatever position elects him.
  22. Question for anyone here. Have you ever stood in front of a grave and taken a photo with a big smile and a thumbs up? Me neither
