Well the Tariffs and job number jitters did not last long

[Zincwarrior]

You really work so hard at being stupid, don't you?

If I don't buy anything imported, I don't pay for tariffs on anything, now do I?

yOU ALWAYS BUY SOMETHING IMPORTED. iF NOT THE FINISHED GOOD, THE RAW MATERIALS. IF NOT THAT THEN THE RAW MATERIALS SOURCED IN THE US WILL COST MORE DUE TO HIGHER INTERNAL DEMAND. ITS SIMPLE MATH.

No, I don't. YOU might, because you are limited. But my family buys almost everything locally made and grown.

They are that simple. Raising taxes on the working class makes sense to MAGA if proposed by a billionaire but raising taxes on the billionaires makes no sense to MAGA. Never seen a larger group of cucks in my life. Bend over.

Complete lunacy ignoring American jobs. 25 years of silence from you and your kkklan in the peanut gallery about tariffs killing American exports, hence American jobs, hence American welfare rises you spinning bush hog.

What’s happening under Trump? What happened under Trump 1.0?

Nothing yet. 6 months in and still on Obidens OCT 2024 spending. thats' what you all claimed all thru the muslim.

I will pay 10% more to see more of CHI and DET go to work. Start shingling roofs out in the hot southwest. Work your way into a factory job under the new APPL assembly plant going in? Tariff the teats off those phony silicon valley scum that shipped MFG jobs off to Slave labor and put our Slaves on the street for me to feed.

Go to work. No more excuses. It ain't rocket science and pays better than EBT cards once a month.

 

[Zincwarrior]

No, I don't. YOU might, because you are limited. But my family buys almost everything locally made and grown.

Which is impacted by the increased demand driving up prices as other buyers try to lower their costs. This is basic math. You did graduate past elementary school yes?

Bringing back unions will help workers do better.

If I buy tomatoes at the farmer's market, I pay no tariffs on anything. If I buy tomatoes from Mexico in the local grocery store, the growers pay a tariff for the right to sell them to me. They don't have to raise their prices unless they want to do so. It is my choice if their prices are higher than the farmer's market/.

There are lots of products made, built, or grown here in the US that have no foreign components. We should seek those out whenever possible. I once bought products and never considered the source, but not anymore. However, US industry needs to step up and get back in the market for consumers like me.

My laptop, TV, call phones and lots of other things are simply not built in the US anymore. Most of those products are Korean and my daughter worked for a Korean company. She has an application and has interviewed for a position with LG Chem, another Korean company here locally. Our town us practically a Korean company mecca.

My most recent car was assembled in Kentucky. My previous one I was forced to buy because it was the cheapest on the lot in an emergency and was built by an American company in Mexico.

The main point is that you can't claim I am paying a federal tax on anything imported if I choose not to buy them. That is the whole freaking point!

Buy and support American businesses.

Plus if the tariffs aren't that crazy exporters will eat some of the costs to maintain market share.

The weak jobs report fueled hopes of an interest rate cut in September, thus the bump.

Can you prove that it happened when Biden got weak jobs reports?

Of course you do. If you buy tomoatoes at the market, the price of those tomatoes are impacting by the price of imported tomatoes and the input costs to grow those tomatoes. Those input costs are also impacted by tariffs.

Again, basic math, basic economics. While I support no trade with China I am quite certain that will have a negative impact on prices if done. Its a choice. Thinking there will be no impact displays a fundamental misunderstanding of basic economics and math.

How? By striking? Nobody wins in a strike!

Growing up, my Dad was a union worker for General Electric. When I was about 10 months old, his union decided to call a strike. He was off work for 3 months and could not support my mother and me. He had to move us back to the family farm and work the land until he could go back to work.

When I was ten years old, I fell and broke my arm. That night the union went on strike for 4 months. All of my doctors' bills were paid out of pocket because back then when you went out on strike, you lost your medical coverage. I think they were out from November to January in that strike. Every time they would go on strike for months, they would usually settle for a few dimes an hour's wage increase, which was a net loss of the thousands of dollars they lost during the strike! It made no sense. The company probably actually saved money and got rid of back inventory at the same time.

If unions are so good, why is it when I graduated from college, I made more my first year in the poorly paying Navy than my father had done in any of his 26 years with GE?

Right before he retired, he was working 10-hour days, six days a week as the only person in the whole factory that painted certain components of washers and dryers that could not be painted by robots. If he was sick, that particular line did not run. Fortunately, my father was an ox and handled the load with no problem. Working all of that overtime was the only time he ever got close to my Navy pay.

Better than doing nothing. Takes some brins skill and training.

You have no concept of math or economics. I taught both! You are an amateur with no idea how things really work, or if you actually do, you can't put it in the words so anyone can understand you.

What increased demand? If you don't buy a product, there is no demand! Are you currently experiencing other symptoms of a stroke?

Unfortunately the company took advantage of your father. Thats why workers had better start challenging their employers. Want people to be more productive then pay them more. Econ 101.

We had the best economy in history until covid. Wages up poverty down best jobs for the poor.
Biden inherited 1.2% inflation 6.4% GDP 2.00 a gallon gas. In 14 months we had 9.1% inflation 2% GDP and 4.00 a gallon gas. Great work huh Joe

"We had the best economy in history until covid". Guess what? Trump passed that dumpster fire you are blaming on covid to Biden which drove those nasty numbers you posted. Guess what? None of those numbers were passed back to Trump. Biden fixed them and Trump inherited the best economy in the world. Even your gas number is from the high point of covid when people couldnt go anywhere - not what was passed to Biden. It shows how stupid you are. Would you like to really debate the economy or do you want to cuck for Trump? Gas prices at 2? Give me a break dude. Unemployment was 15% at that time. 15 ******* percent.
The economy Trump handed off to President Biden
25.5 million workers—15.0% of the workforce—hit by the coronavirus crisis in January
