Temu just raised their prices overnight by like 45%.

[Mr Natural]

And you're so blind that you don't see the Chinese have been fucking you up the ass for decades. But you guys like that king of shit.

No, China has been supplying us with cheap crap because their people work for peanuts which delights the shit out of Mr Businessman here in America.

 

[progressive hunter]

Are you actually such an asshole to attack him, for serving in the military? He is just expressing his opinion on the TEMU price increases and relating to a time when he was young and drawing a small government salary as a Spec 4.

anyone that defends foreign communist countries like he does can go suck a cock,,

you dont like it you can go suck a cock yourself,,

and I didnt know temu sold fords and chevy chevettes,,

 

[StatesRightsForever]

It appears you don't understand the concept here. The idea is to STOP YOU FROM BUYING CHINESE GOODS. Buy American made goods.

No - the idea is to make china drop their tariffs and then we'll drop ours. THINK

Yup that is part of the "fucking up the ass." Joe couldn't give a shit that his neighbor got laid off becasue the factory closed, so long as he can buy his dozen tube socks for $3.00, because they are made by seven year olds that are paid 3 cents an hour while their factories spew 100 times the CO2 into the air then our factories do.

 

[JoeB131]

Dude, Joe is the class idiot sitting behind craponus. He wouldn't know what a tariff was if he found one in his pocket.

You are the one who is confused.

The seller doesn't pay the tariff, the buyer does.

That would be us.

Trump just raised taxes on the working class, and you cheer it on.

TEMU is a real thing? I always thought it was a scam to steal people's credit card info.

It's a real thing. I've been using it a lot for near two years. No problems so far. I use a debit card and keep very little in my cash account anyway.

 

[StatesRightsForever]

Not me, man. I ride a car until the bottom falls out. the only reason I bought this one was that after I found out that we had to put $4000 in repairs on the last one, my wife insisted we just buy a new one.

Never buy a new car. Buy a 20 year old car that runs good and keep it for 10 years. Done that all my life and been pleased with every purchase.

China is not communist. Yes, the word is in their name but it's still not true. Like north korea, it is a capitalist dictatorship.

 

[JoeB131]

Illegals cost america a trillion $ every year in all the freebies we give them. On top of that there is all the crime they engage in . If the illegals leave, housing costs will come down since demand for housing will drop. THINK

Do not understand math?

The best estimate is that undocumented immigrants contribute far more to the economy in labor and economic activity than they cost in the few government services they qualify for.

Guy, I've worked in manufacturing procurement for most of the last 30 years. Here's an ugly truth.

Most of those factory jobs didn't go to China, they were replaced by automation and process improvement. That tube sock was likely made by a machine, not a person.

If we want to compete with China, then we need to make our industry more efficient and nimble. Protecting a factory that isn't efficient isn't the solution.

You buy a used car, you are buying someone else's problems.

 

[leftwinger]

It gets better.

I recently bought a new car. I chose to do it now rather than a year or two from now, because Trump's Tariffs are going to drive up the cost of a car, even one made in the US.

This will be my sixth car since I started driving in the 1980s. The first one was a Chevy Chevette, the others have all been Fords.

Pure BS. Ford quit making “cars” a while back but for the Mustang. You got no where to park it in CHI ghetto hi-rise studio. The blacks would have it the first night you dumb OX.

I know about Fords. Trust me.

 

[leftwinger]

Getting rid of the illegals just means that housing and produce will cost more as there will be less people to process it.

Trump is appealing to your small minded bigotries while he fucks you in the ass with no lube.

And you are stupid enough to keep bending over.

Ever hear of supply and demand?

LOL SO your argument is that China has better/cheaper robots than us? WTF/ You really are not that dense to tell that ridiculous story, are you?

 

[JoeB131]

And you're so blind that you don't see the Chinese have been fucking you up the ass for decades. But you guys like that kind of shit.

How did they do that?

They provided what our businesses wanted them to do.

Unlike the Japanese who created their own brands that drove American brands out of the marketplace, the Chinese have been making American branded products at the request of American corporations.

Seems to me that your ire should be at the guys in the corner offices, not the Chinese worker who is really just trying to get through his life like you are.

I know about Fords. Trust me.

Now, I think this is where you are confused. Ford mostly makes smaller SUV's now, but they are still technically cars.

My new one is a Ford Escape. Fantastic car. A boatload of safety features. Still trying to figure out the audio systems.

Ever hear of supply and demand?

Yes, but it's clear you don't understand the concept.

LOL SO your argument is that China has better/cheaper robots than us? WTF/ You really are not that dense to tell that story, are you?

NO, they invested in the infrastructure and education to make it more practical to put the robot in China.

More nonsense. I suspect Importers pay tarriffs to US GOVT to import product. They then try to raise prices to help with the “duty” charges.

States make more on sales taxes due to higher prices. They probably love it? More American jobs may be created when the find a product they can now make cheaper, better, faster, locally.
Without looking it up,

 

[Tumblin Tumbleweed]

I had a bunch of things in my cart. A bike tire went from $18.50 to $25. Two pairs of insoles went from 1.60 to 2.80. An elbow sleeve from 2.50 to 3.66. Happened overnight! Trump needs to stop playing nice with china. Make them remove their tariffs and we'll remove ours. I suggest he kick out the 300,000 chinese citizens in our colleges. They're all spies anyway.

You're complaining because your cheap Chinese crap just got a little less cheap. That's tariffs. You are now paying more to receive your cheap Chinese crap. It's literally how tariffs work.

America voted for this.

 

[JoeB131]

now youre supporting slave labor of illegals,,

.
That word doesn't mean what you think it means.

We didn't have slaves rushing to get into this country, we had to go to Africa to kidnap them.

The real problem is that to appease the bigots, we made the problem worse.

Used to be, an undocumented immigrant would come up here, work for a few months, and go home to enjoy the good life.

Then he'd come up the next year and do it again.

Then the bigots decided to seal the border, and eventually, the immigrants figured it was less trouble to cross once with their families and stay than it was to make the trip a couple times a year.
