How does a 10% increase in fees amount to a 40% increase in price?

Anyone underselling the stupidity of this tariff shit is just as stupid as trump.

I've been looking into producing Semiconductor Grade Silicone Powder but I haven't been able to decide between the Plasma, CVD, or more traditional furnace with reduction agent methods without knowing their operational costs. It would be kind of out of my price range to test each of them.
I can run some basic numbers if anybody knows a good industrial catalogue for the equipment.

The internet is about to feel a lot slower for us as more services move offshore to flee the taxes.
And also as net neutrality is gutted and the oligarchs ensure internet fast and slow lanes.

Right and at no point are you saying that earnings/profits were impacted by the tax amnesty and money being brought back on shore.
Your link says that the most predictable thing happened- all that money sitting over seas was given back to its owners (shareholders).
Absolutely none of this affected profits for that year.
Mind you, that money was not being used for R&D anyways - it was sitting in bank accounts or bonds waiting for a moment like this to come back and be handed out to shareholders.That's literally what I'm saying.
Are you being semantic?
They realized the revenue as dividends, which is exactly what the link says.

Inflation is defined as the increase of prices over a set period of time. It is in itself nothing, doesn't do anything and its singular purpose is to be able to say how much something costs today compared to yesteryear.
If the price difference depends on a supply chock (something that affects the ability to produce, like a shortage), or a demand chock (suddenly everbody rejects Tesla) is all the same, it results in a price change and can therefore be compared using the measure inflation.Fair enough

Maybe, but I think you're overselling the EU a bit. Yeah, there have been some high profile changes (in terms of stuff that makes the media), but I wonder how much that actually matters.
The EU hasn't really ever been a big importer of US goods anyway, at least not for decades. The biggest importers of US products are Mexico, China, and Canada. The US imports a fair amount from the EU, so if they retaliate with tariffs of their own, the US will just buy less from them, which will hurt the EU more than the US.
The US will have a bunch of negatives in the short term too, but I guess we'll see if those are permanent or just represent a shifting in trade partners.
Oh, to be clear, I don't think the US has been dethroned on the world stage in terms of being the largest single elephant in the room. It's just that the weight between the US elephant and all the other elephants (combined) has evened out quite a lot.
These tariffs might well do a lot to swing that even further.

They absolutely could. What matters is what other countries do in response.
As an American, I'm not happy right now because things are more expensive without a good reason. Tariffs just end up being a hidden sales tax, and that sucks. We don't need more manufacturing jobs here unless we can do it cheaper or better. Keep good paying jobs here and send the lower paying jobs where they'll be appreciated.

I'm also an American. And I am frankly livid about the tariffs.
