{quote} 100 agree with you. The only thing I bought in the last 6 months , not made in the US , was running shoes. And I actually paid $5 less than I paid 1 yr ago.
I'm sure all components were made in US too. I guess you guys are 100% self sufficient in US and just need to build a wall all around you and inbreed your maga brains.

Who pays the tariffs?
It's a simple question. Really simple answer, too. US businesses that import foreign goods pay the tariffs and pass all or part of that expense on to consumers. Every time I see a news article here on FF where Trump lies about foreign nations paying the tariffs, about tariff revenue "pouring in" to the USA, I will remind you of these basic facts by asking: who pays the tariffs? If you want to argue that you don't need anything that is imported, fine. This is not about you. The Trump administration brags every month about the increased revenue paid into the US Treasury from tariffs. So, somebody paid. Hundreds of $billions in taxation. If Trump had called this taxation a "sales tax" or a "foreign consumption tax", then do you think the GOP would have gone along with that? No.

So, if some particular industry is re-shored - do you think those goods made in the USA will be cheaper? Do we have the workforce needed to make the cheaper things that we now import? I saw the head of GM on Bloomberg today. He was asked what kind of tariff on cars imported from S. Korea would be needed so that GM-made vehicles could compete, on price. He's a smart guy and said yes of course they know exactly what it needs to be: 50%. Who would pay that tariff? What would it mean for the cost of a new car made by GM in the US?

It's a very radical thing the POTUS is trying to do with US trade. We'll see how it works out.

I work in a technical field with engineers and professionals all around. A day doesn't go by that I hear stories about lack of knowledge and quality in the way Americans operate. You guys are butt of all jokes. Our professionals have to constantly teach you proper quality procedures as cutting corners and doing subpar work is a cornerstone of your industries.
Canada is a peaceful country. We don't go toppling foreign countries to install our dictators so they can sign lucrative oil and minerals deals for our country to enrich ourselves like you Americans. That's why we don't need an army. You guys have your claws all over the world and need to defend your ways of taking from others hence a big army.

Until you Canadians can learn how to put out fires, you should probably work on that and not worry about the US. But yes, I do not need anything not made in the US

Haha, as if you Americans haven't had fires and as if the smoke from the fires you didn't know how to put out didn't cross the border.
It has happened a lot and us Canadians have offered our services to put you American's fires out every time.
You may think you not need anything not made in the US but you are using material from other countries all the time. For $5 less you'd do anything as you demonstrated.

I did a bit of search on Sydney Sweeney. She is good white meat. That's how MAGA likes their women.

Maybe he should have a talk with its union. By supporting Trump, they have supported the damage he is doing to their industry.

For the tariffs to be effective in re-shoring competitive industries, they need to be higher. But, with higher tariffs, the mfr's take such a hit on their bottom line that they can't afford to stay in business. Broadly, in order to "level the playing field" in international trade, American workers need to lower their standard of living - lower pay, less health/environmental regulation, etc.

DJT sees tariffs as a panacea because the revenue is impressive. But.....WHO PAYS THE TARIFFS?

What exactly do you think the average American has no choice but to buy that’s imported from South Korea? I’d guess I’ll pay close to zero or a completely irrelevant amount of dollars over the coming few years. People seem very confused about tariffs and their impact on actual consumers. There are always alternatives to buy, or just don’t buy it. Not a single tariff affects me, my family, or anyone I know significantly. It will raise prices for some things but I’m not aware of any tariff that will affect my bottom line to any real degree.

Americans went through a 50% inflation spike and not only survived but thrived. A few more inflation points will not be terribly relevant since the vast majority of non discretionary spending isn’t affected by tariffs. But I would say I doubt the US will end up taking in anywhere near what they think in tariffs. If you tax people too much they move, if tariffs are too high people will switch to non tariff items as much as possible.

If a company secured a payment from a customer for "doing business" the CEO would be locked up for taking bribes, but it's okay for a country to do so? It all stinks a bit to me. Oh, & the CEO get to decide on how the "gift" is used. If this man was selling a car you'd need to check under the bonnet (hood) to see if there are actually any working parts. I wish the USA well, I really do - but another 3.5 years of this kind of behaviour will surely take it's toll on it's "friends".
