Then you will have to pay a lot more for them......

A lot more.


What is the average wage in China compared to the US?


China's average hourly wage is lower than many developed countries, such as the United States and Japan. According to the International Labour Organization, the average hourly wage in China was $3.60 USD in 2022, compared to
$24.10 USD in the United States

Considering how devalued the dollar got over the last 4 years, they are much more expensive. It turns out the printing money for bullets to Ukraine didnt improve our dollar for some reason.

Did you want Hillary back to sell some more Uranium to Putin? She was good at selling nuclear material apparently.
 
Yes, I think we all love the idea of “Made in America”…but I don’t think we’re ready for the price tag that comes with it. Paying 2-4x more for stuff with little appreciable rise in wages will certainly make that less appealing to us.
I think I love the idea of people who arent children in China making them. Child labor isn't good you know?
 
Ultimately America spends the most money in the world, protecting the American dollar with tariffs promotes US spending and increases our GDP when we sell goods and services. Which makes us spend more with countries that aren't trying to violently attack us or produce propaganda against us.
Only one attacking anyone is DT, against the (former) allies of the US even!

"Which makes us spend more with countries"

Can you tell me which trading partners the US now have a good relation with after DT took over?
Because i sure can't.

Also looks like DT is handing over Ukraine to Russia.
Russia, who helped North Korea Vs. the US in the Korean war.
Russia..... who helped the Viet Cong in the fight against US soldiers in the Vietnam war.
Yeah, i know history, something DT does not.

DT is helping Russia, and at the same time turning his back on the European countries that helped America in all their wars.

Also alienated all Canadians as well.
Pretty good for a months work. ;)

Im not sure really sure with where youre going with any of that, Tom. It's been around 30 days, you want me to give you trade examples in 30 days? Is your childish impatience necessary? :D

In Biden's first 60 days he managed to get several Americans killed in a retreat, and started bombing Syria. . .

We're still trying to work how much Biden paid the assassins to try to kill Trump. How much violent propaganda has been spread around on our tax payer dollar. How many people were paid to cast illegal votes. Just generally how many people just stole money from incompetent government departments like fema.

I could keep going but I understand that you cant possibly have time to wait for actual work to be done.

"we're still trying to work how much Biden paid the assassins to try to kill Trump"

Best joke I've heard in a while.

"How much violent propaganda has been spread around with tax payer dollars?"

You'll have to ask Trump that although I'm sure he has people who keep track of his foolery for him.

"you can't possibly have time to wait for actual work to be done"

Just like always... If it's something good he'll claim he's a genius and it was his doing. Anything negative and he will shake it off quicker than his ex wives. At this point Trump has become WAY too easy to predict in his (and what he can get away with thanks to his followers') stupidity.

I'm truly amazed Americans still do not understand how tariffs work and how they will hurt the average consumer so much more than the rich folks (although all to some degree are impacted). And how they beat their chest with the Constitution while letting it get ripped to shreds by Trump and (especially) Elon.

Biden and Kamala were/are not good. They should have had better candidates.

I am just saying that DT imposing tariffs on everything and everyone... and also verbally attacking every ally of the US, is not something i saw coming.
And i (like most others) certainly can't see it helping anyone.

It seems like DT is on the clock... going all out this first month, burning bridges left and right.

Agree on the Biden/Kamala thing. I'm not Pro Biden or Kamala. I'm anti Trump.
 
There is a Trump thread.

Lumping “all”… Americans not understanding how tariffs work. You are being funny.
There will be pain before gain. Elon is simply having a look at the bookkeeping.

"Elon is simply having a look at the bookkeeping" is now the 2nd best joke I've heard today.

Unchecked access to private data. Good luck with that. That's who you voted for I guess.
FAFO has started.

Oh well... Back to fighting over cheap (yet overpriced) Chinese sunglasses it is.

Well the good news is that now the Trump is president you can say whatever you want without getting censored as long youre not trying to promote another Portland Summer of Love riot.
