The education system in the US maybe lacking because the fact the these people think that the importers or exporters are going pay for the tariffs is mindblowing, even 10% is already expensive for any company to pay and at best the pay like 50% of 10%. In realty anywhere in the world tariffs and import charges are pay by the consumers. Tariffs are taxes.
Dam trump must be like "Et tu Bezos?"....
Unfortunately almost a decade of forced DEI have deprived US oligarchs of their balls… didn’t mount much of a resistance even to a paper tiger like Trump…
You know, with all this talk about Fallout, could we actually be on the verge of the resource wars. I mean with all the empty ports and clearly there are going to be a lot of empty shelves in the near future, in time frame of a few months, could we actually see the beginnings of the resource war.
Just that, it wouldn’t be a war for oil or ores, but one for toothbrushes, toilet paper and aspirins etc. The US military rolling into Canada and Mexico not to invade for territory, well maybe a bit of that too, but to raid supermarkets, drug stores etc to ‘liberate’ essentials for the American people.
Trump is too incompetent to pull off a full authoritarian/Fascist regime like Pre-War US. Don’t know if that’s a good or bad thing.
I don’t know man, it doesn’t take full authoritarian/Fascist regime to have things deteriorate to such a point.
When the shelves are truly empty and the essentials are truly gone or just so ridiculously priced, human nature will take over, many mid to lower income Americans, in the border states, will probably be forced to head to their closest neighbours for essentials, smuggling may become an issue and if supplies in the nearby countries are strained as well, who knows what might happen from there.
It’s not so much the competence that causes the problem, because we probably wouldn’t even have reached the point of it being a problem, it’s the incompetence and erratic behaviour that’s truly scary.
At the current time, it isn't China that wants a deal. China is in fact refusing to deal at all, not just rejecting any specific deal, and instead escalated.
It's more like your paid thugs broke the guys knees 40 years ago but the thug got sent to the hospital afterwards.
