I wish more "Capitalists" would read Adam Smith.
They seem to not understand the incentive structures of their own economic ideology.
They should read Marx's Das Kapital too, but most don't because they think it would turn them into communists.

And also a matter of national security, almost all semi-conductors, chips, airplane parts etc are all source from China and the Democrats see nothing wrong in it, all they care about is cheap labour and more money for billionaires to Keep funding their party. Absolute nonsense!!
You saying the nationals don't care about their own security?

I agree.

American wages will drop and fail to keep up when a substantial part of the population are losing their jobs
When we flood the market with cheaper Chinese imports, U.S. manufacturers struggle, factories close, and wages stagnate
While at the same time the Chinese middle class is rising from manufacturing for American market while Americas middle class is eroding
This is betting on American workers that these people too can get a job and make a living instead of depending on govt benefits
And if the bold is the reason dump is tanking the economy, then smart. And no, I don't expect him to announce that's his policy, and even expect him to lie if it were.

Unfortunately, Americans wouldn't exactly appreciate the reduction in wages if assets don't drop in value too, and I can't see asset depreciation being good policy anywhere not to talk of in the USA.

---Funny how MAGAdiots said they voted for Felon 47 to improve the economy and lower prices---now all of a sudden that doesn't matter---

The US is a service economy, not a manufacturing one like China, and when these tariffs are passed down to the consumer, they're going to cripple everyday Americans financially---
USA does after all produce more lawyers than engineers.

The problem is that people will try to sell fakes or used as new.

Its getting harder to detect fakes. I'm building a new pc and came across the below.

If these countries make buying from America hard, then America can make buying from them hard too
If these countries cannot purchase American made, then American consumers should be purchasing American goods or not make it so easy to ignore American made goods for foreign ones
What we consume in America can be produced in America even if at higher cost.

You are so flippant about the loss of jobs because it doesn't affect you, There are people whose jobs are being shipped out daily because it will always be cheaper abroad
But there is the issue of cost.

Just imagine what an iphone would cost if made in America. They'd need to automate to come close, which wouldn't create jobs, and what they save by automation would be lost to the cost of energy etc.

People need to understand Adam Smith. It would stop them thinking manufacturers give a damn about them, hence unions. But some are against workers fighting for fairer employment rights.

If there is a loophole to offshore, as a businessman you will be foolish not to do it or encourage it to increase your profit while As a politician and president you cannot watch as your workforce all become jobless, erode your tax paying base and depend on welfare
The solution is what descarado mentioned.

descarado:
America should cut the tax and amend some laws to promote and protect manufacturers.
To the above I'd add making education cheaper.

Unfortunately, many business people and big brands would rather maximise profit by seeking cheaper labour and inputs elsewhere, which is why they've ended up in China and park their profit in Ireland. And by golly is it expensive to manufacture in America with human labour. Not only must you pay high living wages and energy cists, you must also make enough profit to cover pensions too, which, the longer you've been in business the more pensioners you'd have, and that cost must be paid by your customers who are likely watching their hard earned cents.

I do laugh when basilico says China steals ip. I can just about see him working for a foreign company in Nigeria but refusing to steal (learn) their ways so we don't call him a thief.

Also tell me what you understand the below to mean.

But we’re also going to work with our key partners to reduce barriers to trade across the globe.

Accelerate trade deals with the rest of the world and champion the cause of free and open trade – right across the globe. And just like car building, that has always been our heritage – and we won’t turn our backs on it now.

Correct me if that never happens in real life
In the real life I know they don't let you. The pig you are just makes it difficult for the pussy owner to challenge you.

And you don't just grab their pussy, but forcefully have sex with them despite them saying no. What's sadder though is you'd grab children too and claim they let you. Then you'd go about pointing your fingers at others.

I feel you don't know that globalism is the idea that events in one country cannot be separated from those in another and that economic and foreign policy should be planned in an international way.

Will the US dollar stop being the reserve currency of other countries?

I looked up Nvidia. While their shares seem to be hitting 3 month lows, they are mitigating tariffs by moving to made in America, which will create jobs.

For whom, though?

Cattle herders have indeed ravaged some areas, and need to be stopped, but I have always wondered how Fulani can be terrorising in Enugu. I'm willing to consider we Yorubas might bow to cow due to our love of meat, but Enuguans too? Then I started hearing about unknown gunmen, and figured Fulani might be a ruse. We had that in Ifon-Ilobu, where we too were yelling Fulani, when it was us killing ourselves.

The warring communities of Ilobu and Ifon are still counting losses after a communal clash over a land dispute that started on Tuesday as over 100,000 people have been displaced and properties worth N2 billion destroyed.

The Nation reports that three people including an ex-councilor were killed while 30 others sustained gunshot injuries in the fresh attack between Ilobu(Irepodun Local Government Area) and Ifon(Orolu Local Government Area).

‘Immigration won’t be an issue,’ replied Blair. ‘Immigration is good for Britain.’
Immigration is good for Britain. The Isle thrives on it. And it is good for the millions of immigrants who migrate here.

In fact, in the not too distant future, I wouldn't be surprised if we paid people to come here to make up for Brexit.

The ancestors of the people who built Stonehenge were Neolithic farmers originating from Anatolia who brought agriculture to Europe.[10] At the time of their arrival, around 4,000 BC, Britain was inhabited by groups of hunter-gatherers who were the first inhabitants of the island after the last Ice Age ended about 11,700 years ago.[11] The farmers replaced most of the hunter-gatherer population in the British Isles without mixing much with them.[12]

Modern humans first arrived in Great Britain during the Palaeolithic era, but until the invasion of the Romans (1st century BC) there was no historical record. With the Fall of the Western Roman Empire, large numbers of Germanic speakers from the continent migrated to the southern parts of the island, becoming known as the Anglo-Saxons and eventually forming England. Beginning at the end of the eighth century, bands of Vikings began to invade and subsequently settle. In 1066, the Normans successfully took control of England. Subsequently, the Plantagenet Dynasty held the Throne of England from 1154 to 1485. These events resulted in a continuous flow of migration from France during this period. Other European migrants included Flemings and French Huguenots.

How nice extolling the virtues of Muslims.
Tony Blair had a lot to do with this .

1991: The White British population in Greater London was 79.8% (5.33 million out of 6.68 million), per the first UK Census to record ethnicity.

2001: This dropped to 59.8% (4.29 million out of 7.17 million), reflecting a significant decline over the decade

2025. White British: 36.8% in Greater London.(approximately 3.24 million people)



In 1961 the White Brits in London were 97%

Butkus also made note of the fact that this comes at a time when the national GOP is intending to make massive cuts to the federal government, including federal-to-state money, of which Mississippi is the second biggest beneficiary behind Louisiana. If Mississippi loses out on that large amount of federal cash, the state could feel the hit across several agencies and programs Butkus said.
