Was he actually thinking that those $450 were just gifted by the exporter?
I tell you what, the next time this person votes for the orange child rapist he's going to do it very begrudgingly!!
Haha, just kidding. There's not going to be elections again, or at least not until the obese imbecile dies and passes on the dictatorship...to Eric.
I just ate $34.80 in import fees for a sweater recently. It’s rough. The pig will swing soon.
This way of thinking is hilarious. Dumb too but also hilarious.
What leads anyone to think the source would pay for this.
And that absolute self centered attitude of benefit for him as if the US was the center of the world.
Welcome to international trading and politics. Your country is descending fast and in the coming years you will learn a lot.
OP is supposed to take their now even less money and start a business/factory/supply chain in america making those things in america so that OP can be extorted by the Trump administration so that Trump can then take OP's new business from OP.
C'mon that OP isn't even trying to understand what is happening.
Maybe that Plato guy had a point about democracy damn
Democracies are very vulnerable to propaganda. I'm not sure what the solution is, though.
It pays the salary of the people who will murder you for owning a gun and the people who will lie about it and obstruct the investigation.
It's almost like the extreme radical left domestic terrorist demoncrats didn't eli5 how tariffs work from day one!
That’s the frustrating part people don’t see — tariffs hit the buyer directly, not the exporter. It’s a real shock the first time you run into it.
Well the exporter get hit too. People might choose another product as you can't be competitive on price
It helps. Because Trump will spend that money on destroying east wing, hiding and redacting Epstein files, and killing American citizens
These people can't be as stupid as these looks into their lives suggest? Ignorant though? They are really ignorant.
art of getting kicked in the nuts and blaming 'da dems'
Tariffs are more of a soft ban than anything else. They're meant to function to protect local industry from cheap imports. And they don't even achieve that.
Case in point: in the 1980's I believe it was, Yamaha came out with their Virago line of cruiser motorcycles. They were objectively better than Harley-Davidsons and sold much cheaper, the only reason to buy a Harley was 1. because the gaing you're in requires ownership of one to be a member, 2. cosplaying as a member of said gang requires ownership of one, or 3. your boomer brain couldn't handle your motorcycle going duh-duh-duh-duh instead of duduh-duduh.
So Harley lobbied for and got a tariff on cruiser motorcycles of over I think it was 1200ccs engine displacement, which simply made the Japanese bikes cost more like what the American ones did. Yamaha responded by slightly treducing the cylinder bores to bring the displacement down to 1150cc making the tariff non-applicable and nothing of use was accomplished.
We call it the Trump extortion tax.
Maybe that's why Canada keeps responding with "tariff me harder".
