- have short, domestic supply chains;
- have inelastic demand relative to price;
- be able to get domestic production up and running relatively quickly.

Any thoughts on winners and losers here? A potential winners might be the domestic wine & beer industry - South American and Australian wines have gobbled market share based on low cost. Seems an easy reach to produce more domestic wine. Furniture might be another. The Carolinas used to produce large quantities before cheap Chinese imports took away their market.

Who said they were unfair? They are economically destructive to the US at the rates and breadth Trump is doing them.

People on this thread, saying it is a tax on Americans, hurting the poor and helping the wealthy.
Don't other countries realize this when they are putting tariffs up?

Did you know that other countries have different internal economic features and social safety nets?

Other first world countries have universal healthcare and low cost universities. And a strong social safety net. The little we had in the US is being taken away right now.

Guess who’s been funding all those benefits for other countries?

Their gravy train just came to a screeching stop.

He’s getting paid by Russia, China, Saudi Arabia, and Israel to destroy the U.S. leadership position in geopolitics and the global economy. They went for US AID first because it created a huge vacuum for China to begin controlling all these 3rd world countries.

Trump isn’t buying options on the stock market. He’s getting PAID cold hard cash to do this.

Just had a great couple meetings with contractors working on my house in North Carolina far from the beltway bubble.

None of them are impacted by the tariffs. None of them were Hispanic. They lived in the area since childhood, an electrician, a plumber, a contractor and helpers.

All of them support stopping the overwhelming immigration that replace US workers with cheap labor and all of them support tariffs to bring back manufacturing to US.

Maybe we should be able to build our own anti-biotics without the globalists demanding their cut.

Good Day!

OMG just because you say you aren’t affected doesn’t make it true.

Wait till your plumber friend loses business because fixtures are 25% more, pvc pipes more. Those industries are bracing for losses. Look what happened to lumber in the pandemic.

But I suppose it’s all wasted breath to cultists.

+1
How can contractor friend not be worried about cost of lumber?

Because he’s not real and that whole conversation didn’t happen LOL.

Forget the cost of lumber, think about all the things that go into a house or construction project and how many things are made overseas? Think of tools, they will probably double or triple in price.

Huge black market for tools already. People breaking into contractor vans to get tools. Theft will increase.
