Yes were illegally paying or will be paying 45 to 200% TAX on all the things we like and have been free most of our lives b/c of one delusional orange 80 yr old stuck in his own head.
Those taxes will be defeated in court.

Like I said, I am old and do not give shit or take it.

rags? glue? light bulbs? please! C'mon.

How bout that slave labor? You can make an iPhone with a robot. More slaves now than ever in recorded time, including the USA, look it up, legal Catholic monk slaves making the pope's wine! serious slavery making anything in some countries like China all the way down! sucks for those who support it in the name of saving a buck. Don't believe me? O.K.

I feel bad for people like you who know all about this evil shit people do to other people, but could care less in the name of $ and look the other motherfucking way if it cost more, pure Evil.

The path to hell is paved with good intentions. Anything coming from Chine (sic) is shittier shit than normal shitty shit made with slave or near slave labor. Nets to catch the mass suicides. Great, really fucking human ain't it?

China and India = 95% of our medicine. ?????? O.K. or not? not!

One of my points was that "buying American," along with being more expensive, isn't going to put you on any more of a moral high ground than anybody else because the nuts and bolts of most American businesses are also supported by asian goods (like rags, glue, light bulbs, and a million other things American business have to have to operate).

So if you care about slave labor, you're still supporting it by buying American, because all those American businesses you buy from themselves still use products made by slave labor.

Basically there is no ethical consumption unless you go totally off-grid. And this is an electric guitar forum. None of us are doing that any time soon, lol.

The other point I was making was that even with buying from American businesses, prices is still going to rise due to tariffs because American businesses will also need to increase their prices to cover the increase in their overhead (all those rags and light bulbs they buy from China). So not even buying local will save you from the effects of tariffs.

Sorry my man, that’s way too many words and ideas for MAGA to understand and hold in their brain at the same time.
Their response is…”but..but. he’s still getting rid of the brown people, right?” As they wear their Chinese hat and run to pray with their Indonesian Trump bible in their Vietnamese gold sneakers 😂

I know, it’s probably all from China.
I can only hope we at least have some decent American made toilet paper for when the country fully shits the bed like Trump does his pants.

You points might hold a little more water if they weren't near word for word the same points as the so called experts that have been proven wrong time after time.

What tariff's did this?

"X happened because of reason A so there's no way X could also happen because of reason B" is not exactly logically sound argument.

You're basically saying "this guy over here was killed by a shotgun so there's no way that other guy over there was killed by a knife because we've already established that shotguns are what kills people."

Would be nice to have bought a Les Paul back then though. :D

That's one way to look at it but that is not what I am getting at.

The point is, why is X bad when B has been happening for years and there was no anxiety over it.

Ah I see, my mistake. I guess I'd say that the level of anxiety is fairly related to an event's abruptness. Like people do get anxiety over inflation but "normal" inflation is kind of expected, and in that sense it's "minimally anxiety inducing" because people accept it as just kinda how the world works and they can account for it. But when inflation spirals like it did during the pandemic or something, then people freak because it spikes and could actually lead to tangible changes to people's lifestyle and financial futures they didn't predict, etc.

I suppose from that angle, the tariffs feel like a one-two punch of an instant rise in everybody's expenses due to how connected our economy is to the rest of the world, and it happened for seemingly arbitrary reasons and in a way that nobody can predict, just based on whatever numbers the administration thinks sound good at the time, and it seems to be changing significantly all the time. That kind of unpredictability definitely freaks people out.

No one can say for sure what the net effect will be. While the costs for certain goods will almost certainly go up, the tariffs could ultimatly prove to be deflationary for prices in general.

I think you’ve got it in a shuffle here bro’

-The tariff’s gonna put a shill on Rhett Shul.
For real, that man is a glowing example of the psychological “cost of doin’ bid’ness”
as a YouTuber.
He’s had one too many birds on his antennae..
Example:
-from staring into a camera feeling important about something that’s ubsurd.. talk about a fucking tariff right fellas?
He does however make a living doing that & his online lessons, so there’s only so far I can go with before tearing him to shards.

That’s what he does for a living,
-staring into a camera feeling important about something he knows deep within his inner landscapes…is awefully ubsurd.
I just wanted re-clarify that in the OP’s defense, LTFOL bro’
Btw, I hate when dudes say bro’, it’s kinda a inner landscape joke, LOL again man😜.

I ‘no care’th of this tariff..
Long as you don’t place it upon me🫵

PS: That’d be a funny name for a condom brand.
Inner Landscape’s.
Fuck..I’d buy one!
