OT: Tariff Economics Discussion

[MTTiger19]

Chinese tariffs on the U.S. are now 10% - lower than they were under Biden.
U.S. tariffs on China are now 30% - higher than they were under Biden.
The tariffs now favor the U.S. more.
This wouldn’t have happened by asking nicely.
Calling this a loss is pure partisanship.

That means the goods you pay for from China will be higher than they were under Biden.

Maybe, if the market deems those goods valuable enough for folks to not find an alternative. Our company had to make similar moves when Biden was embargoing everything from Russia. A lot of the raw material comes from Russia and manufactured in China. We had to show that no parts that were being used in China were from Russia. Long story short - we need manufacturing here, if this is the first step so be it. If we have to pay a little more to have the security of manufacturing our own goods so be it.

If you want to be taxed more so you have more manufacturing then so be it. Thats your choice. Don’t complain about inflation either.

We import from China the second most out of our trade partners. This is a higher tax on Americans than when Biden was in office. Not exactly something to brag about.

But China is the winner right now in this situation. Xi has more support in his own country and also has the US backing down and conceding to their demands.

Props to you knowing the word pablum but immediate demerit for your incorrect usage. I am not using ideas or theories - I’m using verifiable data and information above -
- Trade negotiation timeline extending well beyond the month being hyped by the administration
- The basic trade dynamics and motivations when we’re in a trade surplus
- The process and timeline for ordering planes by airlines and aircraft lessors

So let me make this easy for you -
- Do you really think the trade deal in its entirety was the result of a one month process? Follow-on - do you think both parties have just ignored the need for a trade agreement post-Brexit until the past few months? If so, why?
- What ultimately will change will change about our trade with the UK and how do you quantify the change?
- In your experience, what is the timeline for negotiation to deal to delivery for new wide body aircraft?

You and @fatpiggy parrot social media posts from MAGA influencers with zero credentials. I post questions based on my education and experience in finance and industry. Both of you fail to respond with any data/logic/facts every time I, or someone else with relevant education and experience, prompt you to engage on the very BASICS of topics you continuously post about.

You’re quoting a guy who, by just clicking on his bio, was banned from twitter (when it had standards) for spreading Russian information about Ukrainian biolabs? You realize how ridiculous that is, right?

I’m not going to explain in detail how the market rally is not a sign that investors have faith in Trump, but rather that his terrible economic policies won’t actually be implemented and cause a recession. You clearly don’t understand basic fundamentals.

Posting for hours every night and every morning on a football form about a political party is not a sign of a healthy mental state. I don’t say this as an insult or a joke - you should consult a therapist and be honest about how you spend your time each day. I’d be willing to cover the sessions myself (no joke). I’ll DM you.
