Live updates: Trump announces sweeping tariffs
-
I mean, this will suck in rhe short term, but these companies will exit the U.S. market if it gets to be uneconomical, and we'll be fucked, not them. Trump's I Am sO sMaRt comments all the time will make him look like an even bigger idiot than he already does.
If we actually want manufacturing in the U.S., give companies incentives to do business here. This is the opposite of incentives.
The trump regime was designed to TANK the US economy so that stocks, businesses, and industries can be bought by billionaires at rock bottom prices.
All is going according to plan.

Damn, I'd like to see the data on that.

Smells like Smoot-Hawley up in this bitch.
Sick history reference.

From an electrical engineering perspective H O S E D. Historically, “Oh you want to manufacture something cheaply but can’t due to IP issues or CCP conflicts of interests? Why not Malaysia, Vietnam or the Philippines?”
People got to realize this is gonna jack up the supply chain so hard. Texas Instruments an IC manufacturer produces some stuff in texas. If my production is in Malaysia then surprise! Tariff to send components to Malaysia. But wait, programming, testing, packaging, and inventory of the boards is in the USA. So the PCBA is surprise surprise Tariff again. Now that the board is considered finished and ready to be sold, it turns out your customer is in china or anywhere else in the world…. So tariff. These Tariffs compound. The business isn’t going to foot the bill so its gonna get pushed to customers.
I am really curious how the TSMC foundry in AZ is gonna work out. They can produce the wafers but packaging is done still in Taiwan. So tariff to Taiwan , tariff again back to the USA, and the tariff again because its an advanced electronic component?

But like, could I come visit if I need to seek asylum? That would be different than tourism, right? I'm not really happy or comfortable with the situation here, nor have my efforts been able to change other people's views (e.g. make them think about consequences).

I think it's important to note that this will kill a great many small businesses.
Larger companies have a larger supply in giant warehouses. Small businesses order smaller quantities more often. They get fucked sooner with the costs going up. If a customer wants to support that small business they sometimes would have to pay twice what they could get it for from a larger company. This is a deep consolidation of wealth.
Large companies can also bully suppliers to force them to lower prices at their end

They'll be reverted as soon as he gets some flattery and palm greasing from the right people.

Ok to be fair… You may come as long as you’re a queer / trans baddie or if your name is Luigi, or take the “death to America” pledge.

Deal. I stopped pledging "allegiance to the flag" over a decade ago when I realized this wasn't a nation with "liberty and justice for all". I'll also bring some trans baddie friends with me.

Imagine he's golfing and a fucking engine block of a 1982 Buick Regal comes sailing through the air from 200 meters.
One can only dream.
I love this idea, make it so fast that it just rolls right over his fat ass, but just enough to put him at deaths doorstep. 15 mins until total death. Put a report next to him. What does he say?

Once more the USA forgets about its biggest former colony

This gold from wallstreetbets:
Soooo is the tariffs charged to the United States really a ratio of the trade imbalance?? For example Vietnam imported roughly 14.6 billion in goods from the United States, and we imported around 146 billion, so thus they have decided tariffs are 90% to the United States…thus we are putting a tariff on them of half of that…which means we are literally tariffing the goods we either a)need more or b) get more efficiently at a higher rate?
That may be the absolute dumbest way to create a tariff policy I could imagine if that is the case…which it looks to be.https://old.reddit.com/r/wallstreetbets/comments/1jpzhje/tariff_chart_released/ml476s7/
People are saying if you ask ChatGPT the easiest way to do a global tariff based on trade deficits with a minimum of 10 percent - it spits out the exact same numbers.
