TARIFFS: Walmart's CFO signals that price hikes may be coming because of Donald Trump's tariffs.

[sealybobo]

that's a great question. maybe because demofk mayors think they can alter the laws of the land by saying words like sanctuary city or state. It's illegal. They don't get to legally do that. We will watch as the Trump team begins the deportation process. I hope they hit Springfield Ohio and Aurora Colorado first and get this garbage out.

Sure they do. States rights bitch. If Cali needs the cheap labor then it's their decision. Them and Musk. And Musk says Silicon Valley needs them. You're too dumb. Elon's words not mine. If we can only hire from a pool of people like you, America loses. Sorry. People who idolize athletes more than scientists are destined to lose. People who don't even know man made climate change is real are stupid. Do you think Elon wastes his time at church? Or Trump?

I love it that you feel this way about women. Fuck them. The dumb bitches must agree with you. They didn't show up for Kamala so, I guess you are right. Any woman in any position of power must have slept her way to the top. Look at our new ambassador to Greece. Does she speak Greek? Nope. The only thing she did was sleep with a Trump. But she has hit the ceiling in the GOP

how many congressional demofks didn't vote for women's rights this month? hmmmmmm

They voted against the bill knowing it was going to pass. Big deal.

Opponents of the bill said it was demonizing immigrants.

Representative Pramila Jayapal said the bill would hurt survivors of domestic violence, whom she said are often arrested, charged and convicted along with their abusers.

"Here we are again, debating another partisan bill that fearmongers about immigrants, instead of working together to fix the immigration system," Jayapal said during a debate on the bill.

"I probably shouldn't be too surprised. Scapegoating immigrants and attempting to weaponize the crime of domestic violence is appearing to be a time-honored tradition for Republicans."

You got enough Democrats to go along and it passed. You should be happy. You just don't know how things work in Washington.

So you guys own it.

Yep, this is what the Trump supporters voted for. Now we all have to suffer the consequences of higher prices. What do you think?

Trump's tariffs ignore the fact that unlike in the past, when we had a robust manufacturing base in this country, producing all of these consumer goods, we now depend completely on China and other countries for those products. Imposing sanctions on those vital goods, is just stupid, pretty much ensuring higher prices for everyone.

 

[westwall]

How come cops don't arrest illegals when they run into them? Yea, that's what I thought. Clearly they aren't breaking any laws at the time the cop finds them.

I know. This will change with Trump. It won't fix the problem though. Because Trump will still be hiring illegals at Mara Lago

Because they do in every place except your blue shitholes. Which is why they congregate there.

Duh.

You really are stupid aren't you.

/---/ "Trump's tariffs ignore the fact"
No, you Dolt. That is the exact reason why Trump is maintaining the tariffs he set 4 years ago and the two new ones Joe added (which you are apparently OK with.)
It's to encourage foreign countries to move their manufacturing here and hire Americans.

Here are some examples: Is this so hard to understand?
Several foreign car manufacturers build cars in the United States. Here are some examples:

• Mercedes-Benz C-Class…Vance, Alabama
• BMW X Series…Greer, South Carolina
• Kia Sorento…West Point, Georgia
• Nissan Titan…Canton, Mississippi
• Honda Odyssey…Lincoln, Alabama

Why are you so emotional? You throw around insults like “Dolt,” yet fail to grasp a simple point: jacking up tariffs on essential consumer goods doesn’t magically create a domestic manufacturing base overnight. Sure, some foreign car companies have already set up shop here, great, we all know about the Honda and Kia plants in the U.S., but the bulk of everyday consumer products we rely on aren’t spontaneously going to start springing up from new factories just because Trump (or Biden) slaps higher tariffs on goods from China. All these tariffs do is raise prices, especially when critical supply chains and production infrastructure don’t exist in the U.S. to meet demand. A few foreign car plants in the U.S. don't change that fact.

If it were so easy to spin up new factories here in America, big companies wouldn’t have spent decades offshoring in the first place. Domestic production isn’t just about land and labor, it’s also about raw materials, logistics, and an already well-established global supply chain. You can’t just snap your fingers and replicate all of that, no matter how many tariffs you impose. In the meantime, American consumers are left paying more for basics while corporate execs keep looking for the cheapest place on Earth to produce those products. Instead of insulting people who point out these realities, maybe channel that energy into understanding the complex economics behind global manufacturing and how we just can't fix the problem by imposing tariffs.

We need to develop our manufacturing base and start producing those consumer goods here first. The government can grant companies that invest in building these factories, tax incentives, and subsidies, in order to compete with foreign imports. Then, when we have those products being produced here at home, we can impose tariffs on foreign imports, to protect local manufacturers. Unfortunately, that's not what Trump is doing, he's essentially placing the cart in front of the horse. He's jumping the gun, "shooting from the hip" and ensuring a price hike on basic consumer goods.

we do not have to depend on China, we are perfectly capable of making what we need in the US, We depend on China because of the greed of many CEOs and DC pukes. Tariffs will make chinese products more expensive thereby making US products more competitive. The whole tariff thing is not complicated if you libs would quit lying about it.

you totally miss the point. Tariffs will encourage foreign companies to move their operations to this country, sure, it won't happen overnight, but it will happen more quickly than you imagine.

You're missing the point. There are no MADE IN THE USA, equivalents to those imported products. We need to address that first, before imposing tariffs, which will only increase prices for those goods, without providing a domestically produced alternative.

 

[TruthNotBS]

Seriously? Do you really think foreign companies will rush to set up shop in the U.S. for all the routine consumer goods we import, just because of some tariffs? Newsflash: America isn’t exactly known for cheap labor, so the “move here and hire Americans” argument only works if those companies see a genuine profit margin. Building a new factory isn’t just about putting up four walls; you need trained workers, supply chains, reliable infrastructure, and a cost structure that won’t bury your profits. That’s why so many corporations offshored to begin with: lower wages, fewer regulations, cheaper materials. Slapping tariffs on imports doesn’t magically erase all those deeper economic realities.

Even if a handful of foreign automakers or electronics giants do relocate, it’s not going to be the instant fix you imagine. Shifting production across borders is expensive and complex, especially for everyday consumer products. And by the way, if we’re so gung-ho on producing key goods domestically, why are we begging foreign companies to fill the gap? Shouldn’t we be investing in homegrown industries instead of hoping someone else will bail us out? Bottom line: tariffs alone won’t rebuild America’s manufacturing base. They mostly just raise prices for consumers and push companies to find the next cheapest labor market if the U.S. isn’t cost-competitive. If you want real industrial revival, try policies that address worker skills, technology investments, and the underlying profit motive that drove these companies abroad in the first place, instead of banking on a quick tariff trick.

I never said it did. But, if that overseas company wants to keep selling in the US, then they move their manufacturing over here like the auto manufacturers did.
