Tariff sticker shock

[Deplorable Yankee]

A number of folks are getting lessons in who pays tariffs, and they aren't enjoying the experience.

We tied to tell them who was gonna pay, but they didn't listen, and now they are paying.

Nicholas Gilbert, a dairy farmer who operates Adon Farms in upstate New York, experienced tariff sticker shock when a routine shipment of cow feed from Ontario cost him $2,200 more than expected.

“I’m not even sure it’s legal! We contracted for the price on delivery,” he told The Atlantic. “If your price of fuel goes up or your truck breaks down, that’s not my problem! That’s what the contract’s for.”

Unfortunately for Gilbert, the tariff is very much legal. Like many American business owners, he mistakenly believed that tariffs on imported goods would be paid by the foreign exporter.

"mistakenly"? It's because he was lied to.

Upstate New York is all farming... There's more cows than people

Dont make me laugh

I'm not.

I did a quick check and there are three major dairy cow feed suppliers in NY state.....One in Northern NY and two in central NY.....Scores of minor ones.

OP is sucking eggs again.

I meant being a Harris voter.

Neat how you all avoided that and focused on the feed.

Also, how do you know those suppliers aren't buying from Canada?

What’s his choice? Let the cattle starve?

Yeah right

Cattle are wasting away from starvation all over America

If ya don’t feed em they do

How stupid are you?

 

[Crepitus]

That’s great news…Thanks for the awesome illustration showing tariffs at work in real practice. We can be quite certain that Mr Gilbert will purchase his next load of feed from a farmer in Ohio or Pennsylvania keeping his money in the good ole U.S. of A

And you think only canada has cattle feed?

Even you must know better than that

 

[Crepitus]

Yep, the farmer must have waited till the last minute to buy feed and the fields were bare....dumbass.

tRumplings are like that.

<shrug>

And you think only canada has cattle feed?

Even you must know better than that

You think farmers can just wait for a better price?

 

[Mac-7]

America has warehouses full of cattle feed just waiting for your call

Like many American business owners stupid enough to vote for Trump, they have only themselves to blame.
