There is something deeply ironic about the US accusing China of flooding their country with illegal drugs. The next step is for China to demand reparations to all the fentanyl producers hurt by US law enforcement activity. Then they invade, force us to take the drugs and pay the reparations. OH, and they’re going to administer Hawaii for 99 years.
Eric fails to understand who has the money to create the demand for illegal drugs. Also, a large portion of the illegal drug distribution is in the rural red counties because they lack law enforcement.
i’m not convinced that the trump boys actually want to stop drugs from entering the country
That’s like rubbing shit on your face and telling a bully, “Okay tough guy! You want to punch me now?”
“I must apologize for Wimp-Lo, he is an idiot. We trained him wrong… As a joke.”
Yet when you bring up Dem tariffs on solar panels and EV’s, suddenly “that’s different.”
You mean the ones that Trump originally put in and Biden extended?
And the fact that you don’t understand the difference between a targeted tariff and a blanket tariff on all goods?
Also the fact that you can’t grasp that you don’t impose tariffs to stop drug trafficking, which btw are done mostly by honest Americans.
But to your point, however small it may be here, no I don’t think that Biden should have extended Trump’s solar tariffs, it didn’t really help US solar manufacturing since companies did what they always do, moved to other low cost countries that’s not China.
The inflation reduction act has a better impact on increasing US solar production by offering incentives vs taxes.
But you just keep on strawmanning and whataboutism while leopards eat your face.
It’s not “strawmanning” because I didn’t need to make it up. It’s a real thing, which you acknowledge is shit.
And yes, Trump is also shit.
Rabble rabble rabble, can we talk about what’s currently going on without the “buuuut obama did it too” shit. Its just not a worthwhile discussion
We are going to cost your countries, your economies, we’re going to cost your businesses billions, hundreds of billions of dollars if you think you’re going to poison Americans
They realize American manufacturers and consumers pay the tariffs, right? Not the other countries.
Plus it’s not like companies can turn things on a dime and create new facilities/train new people in response to these.
I don’t think they do. But daddy donvict seems to also think that China is somehow ripping us off because “trade deficit”.
So I don’t think anyone in this crime family understands much of anything at all.
I’m not sure anyone in that family understands trade at all?
Donvict seems to think a trade deficit means China is ripping us off or something. They also seem to think that China is going to be paying tariffs, for example, when it is only going to mean that Americans are going to be paying for it. Not China. Slapping tariffs on goods coming from China, etc…is JUST ANOTHER TAX.
Do any of the dumbfucks in the Bircher/teabagger/maga/qanon, (whatever the fuck the crazies are calling themselves these days, it’s a constantly rotating set of labels, but it’s all basically the same set of stupid beliefs driven by feels rooted in racism) really understand that a tariff is a TAX? Again, these dipshits tried to start the “Tea party”, saying they were “taxed enough already” and I bet anything that only a very, very small percentage of them have made the connection. I bet most of the teabaggermaga dipshits think it’s gonna “make America great” or some shit because, donvict, their great white hope, is the one doing it to them. And doing it to them hard.
Shit’s gonna be hilarious and tragic when a head of lettuce costs $12.99.
Bet you anything the teabaggers never properly attribute it to their support for the kakistocracy, though.
These types seem to be determined to never learn a fucking thing.
We’ll all look back longingly on Lucille’s $10 banana.
Arrested Development slowly becoming Seinfeld
A smart approach would be to slowly dial stuff up so that manufacturers had, ya know, time to build and train for complex manufacturing plants in US.
But they’re not going to do that. The plants are where they are, they would take years to move, and American consumers will pay the new import taxes in the interim.
That’s all assuming Trump and Co wont buy up these factories and industries, and then inject them with federal stimulus money to ‘save america’
I’m sure in 12 months every major news station will be unhinged talking about one particular niche industry like baby diapers that is too important to let fail from these tariffs and it will be a complete coincidence that musk or kushner owns 90% of the domestic production.
Like moronic father. Like moronic son.
The shit apple doesn’t fall far from the shit tree.
Shameless question. At this point I approach this entire presidency as a cash/power grab by the incumbent administration.
So from an investment perspective how would pleb like me, with my Roth and 401k, game these tariffs? Local industry might get a boost, but for the most part we (the USA) still won’t produce a lot of the goods being tariffed. So, do you just bet high on commodities and U.S reseller/retailers as the big winners 12 months into the administration? Asking for a friend that’s totally not me trying to make the best out of a potentially disastrous 4 years. Thank you,
- hold a diversified portfolio that’s heavy on cash.
- buy equities when the market tanks.
- sit tight and hope for the best. Don’t check your port again until the fuckwits are gone.
does he think that drugs that are smuggled into the country will pay the tariffs?
