If you supported open borders, Russia Russia and the covid lies, then you don't get to talk about what is intelligent or not.
Tariffs Worked “Spectacularly Well”

You can’t even pay a tiny amount of money here to subscribe, yet you’re trying to argue trade and tariff policy with people who do that for a living every day.
I only export so of course I don’t pay the tariffs, but it’s hilarious seeing people like you argue about things you clearly are clueless about, and solely because it’s a Trump policy.
I even gave a basic example of explaining that the economic burden is shared. But when you are economic illiterates like AOG and Soccer dudette then basic economic concepts like the elasticity of demand and alternative supplies and sources of supply sources is like talking English to a six month old child. Then they continue to ignore the national security issues associated with hostile foreign source suppliers like the chicoms. When America Last is your driving political principal, this is what you get. Paying the chicoms to produce a bat virus that is contagious with humans and then relying on them for your medical supplies is pretty phucking stupid unless you are playing for the away team.
They're not really America Last, they aren’t smart enough to be that consistent in their posts.
They are automatically opposed to everything Trump, and that’s the starting and finishing point in their so-called logic.
Correct, you aren’t paying them, but you are likely sharing in them, even if not obvious. Your customers have considered the total cost in who they do business with.
Once upon a time I sort of believed in the stupid argument. And they are stupid. But more than that they are evil. Rooting for the Maryland Man is not just because they are stupid.

You and Christina are on a nuclear level meltdown as of late. it's beautiful.
Only one of the Chinese customers has asked for price cuts and I went down marginally. Roughly a 6% drop but their hands are tied too because we operate in a niche oil and gas spot of the marketplace with only a few global suppliers:
Pay up, Bitch. You post daily from 8:30am-11:30pm so it would pencil out to premise per hour for you, big wheeler.

It's hopeless here since you can't position yourself in reality.

A real world example is that we are doing our first runs of a couple lines in Taiwan this week and Mexico in the next couple weeks.
This is a major hit for China. After Covid every company that isn’t retarded made some inroads toward moving away but didn’t really pull the trigger. Because no one is going to go full hog unless really forced because it takes investment in these other places as they aren’t as ready to go out of the box.
The tariff situation has forced their hand and once the investments are made to move from China they aren’t going to go back.
So let’s say using the company I’m at we move a third of our stuff. Of course it’s the most important high dollar products. The lesser ones can stay and/or move away with less urgency.
That hits an export economy like China in a big way and even more devastating, every bit of investment into other competing counties snowballs and makes them more competitive over time.
China has been acting like an asshole for so long that their companies are going to have to make major changes to make it worth doing business with again. The shady shit they get up to is absurd. And the domestic regulatory agencies are fed up with it so it keeps putting a bigger burden on the importer to do more crap.
So when dumbasses are like ”hardy har har it’s just a tax!” they completely miss the point.

Yeah, new foreign investment is doa for China unless they have dirt on you (Ray Dalio).
Other markets are going to continue to scale and eat their lunch in 100 different sectors.
