[harmonica]

can someone explain to me how the Chinese/etc can produce such cheap [crap ]
they ship it over to the US--this cost in shipping/unloading/transporting/etc
how can it be so damn cheap then with these extra costs? ?? unless they are paying their employees cheap wages--very cheap
so, there should be tariffs, if this is so
thanks all civil replies

...my company buys manufactured parts from China instead of direct manufacturing at the US plant....
something is wrong if it's that much cheaper

The average wage in the US is $24.57 an hour
The average wage in China is the equivalent of $3.60 and hour

So, you want to put tariffs on product so that we all have to pay more for everything just because you company cannot compete?

I say screw that, your company needs to adapt or find something new to do.

Yep, you people want to get paid too much, were you willing to take a pay cut so your company can compete?

4% unemployment.

More jobs than people to fill them.

109 straight months of economic expansion.

One of the highest per capita GDPs in the world, and the highest nominal GDP in the world

We are in our current predicament because people like you were willing to sell out others.

Every country protects their economies, that is why we have a 4000 page list of tariffs and subsides for multiple industries.

I do not base things on anecdotal evidences, just on the economic numbers for the country as a whole. It is totally irrelevant how your neck of the woods is doing.
