This is the easiest thing, anyone with basic economics knowledge will know this

To produce Apple phones in China hits the market $1000, The phone produced in US costs $2000
If the U.S. places tariffs on iPhones made in countries like China, the cost of importing them rises. For example, a 100% tariff on a $1,000 iPhone adds $1000 to it making it the same as the phone produced in the US. Apple can either absorb that cost or pass it to consumers increasing the price

The Chinese iPhone no longer has a price advantage over the US iPhone

Apples reason for moving to China in the first place is to increase its profit and sell cheaper. tariffs make this impossible and they start manufacturing locally

You see very simple, If not for TDS I am sure you can know this, Your PM knows this which is why he also puts a tariff on Chinese products

I have been trying to reply to this nonsense for days. But spambot no gree. I found a way around it.

---Of course you will resort to insults as usual---in your last comment---


Ben Shapiro slams Donald Trump for accepting a $400 million jet as a gift from Qatar:

"Taking sacks of goodies from people who support Hamas, the Muslim Brotherhood, al-Jazeera, all the rest — that’s not America First!... I think inherently it is bad. I do not think this is good. I think if we switched the names to Hunter Biden and Joe Biden, we’d all be freaking out on the Right."

---Even staunch MAGAs like Laura Loomer is against Felon 47's decision---to accept the 747-8---

---so ask yourself the same question, "how come I'm so ignorant that Felon 47 is willing to accept such a massive the gift---and still claim it is just a donation---

What is funny is all of them acting like this is shocker. I have been on record telling them he's all about the money and nothing but the money. He's a conman. Always has been. But they tell you it's STD or whatever they call it.

If instead of the November elections, a question was asked........ Qatar gifts President Trump a Boeing 747, would he or would he not accept it? 74m people would have voted.....No, he wouldn't.

This is the size of the delusion you have in America now.


The likes of Dave Smith will have you believe that all Trump's cabinet nominations were perfect. Now same people have suddenly lost their amnesia and now pointing out that the AG was a known foreign asset of Qatar. When we were saying the exact same thing, they said we were fear-mongering.

All these are just gibberish and makes no sense at all

The major way to bring back manufacturing is to reward those who manufacture in America. And provide a way for their products to be competitively priced with the foreign products

End buyers will buy what is cheaper, Chinese goods for example will be cheaper, what internal industrial policy will US create that will compete with 75cents per hour paid in China? What will compete with 8yr olds assembling iPhone in China, what internal policy will make US ignore safety concerns like they do in China to stay competitive?

The only way to help local manufacturers is to ensure that Chinese goods and American goods are similarly priced

By placing those tariff on the imported goods you make American manufactured goods competitive which is why the United Auto leader hailed the move

Its why your PM came to grovel at the feet of the same Trump who you claimed doesn't know what he is doing. Does Mr Starmer know you are trash talking the man he came to kiss his behind?

Olodo ni e Dayo. Oya, case scenario. Use this nonsense to educate us on how Apple could return manufacturing to the US? Go ahead.

raumdeuter:
A business man has only profit as his end goal, and he is not mandated to care about the country just his own pocket

Its the work of leaders who should do what benefit the people and we have had leaders for the past 40yrs who looked away while the manufacturing base got eroded

You are suddenly okay with manufacturing practices of China and kick when trump wants to bring these manufacturing to US?

It is a lie. Trump does not want to bring manufacturing to the US. If he did, he wouldn't put a 145% tarriff on Chinese exports to the US but sign an EO for exemption on electronic goods from same Country.

If he did have the intent to re-establish manufacturing in the US, he would start with internal industrial policies that encourage and entice manufacturers to move manufacturing to the US.

Name one single industrial policy you know about that has been enacted in this craze?


In a twisted world of lack of understanding of economic matters, what you don't know is that industrialisation policies are underpinned by huge government investments. Basically, throwing money at it....... which is basically Socialism........

But I see you arguing against socialism in another post.

This is why you guys are all clowns. You do not understand what you voted for, you don't understand what Trump is doing now and what he intends to do. You don't know how things works......at all!

raumdeuter:
I expect nateevs to start complaining. Trump is doing what is best for America again

These things Trump says excite you because you lack sound knowledge of how the world works.

You see, the US understood before MAGATS that subsidising world health allows it to in turn attract the best brains in the world to the country under the H1B visa program. If US did not do this, there will be no world-class research in the US.

The research that Trump thinks the US "owns" is created by the inventiveness mostly of foreignerss and recipients of the H1B program.

Imagine you guys leading the US into future. You guys are clowns surely taking the US on a rapid decline with no help from outside. You have no idea of anything at all.

raumdeuter:
In the real world

The US is running a 1.2 trillion deficit every year.
The US lost its manufacturing base of America and dependence on China

In the real world some countries like yours are leeching on the US, So its no longer business as usual, we have a president who puts America first

Sharap! You think you are talking to MAGATs. The US lost manufacturing jobs to China because of the institution and perpetuation of capitalism to the last letter, the desire and embracement of cheap consumer goods, and the fundamental desire for the dollar to become the world's reserve currency.

It is nobody else's fault. It is all your fault.

raumdeuter:
Its a declaration that America has a leader who cares about Americans and won't let them be taken for a ride any longer

I can understand that you will be pissed that America can now stand up for its people and no longer taken for a ride

In MAGA land I imagine your explanation is genius.

In the real world though, we are looking like wtf? You create a self-inflicted crisis that grinds international trade to a halt. Create a business environment that lowers business forecast to no longer than 90 days. Send many businesses into bankruptcy during the period of 145% tariff hike. Lose jobs as a result. Erode trust in American bi-lateral trade. Devalue the dollar. Take the country to the brink of recession. Unite countries that previously didn't talk much trade, strengthen the case for BRICS.



.... All whilst never achieving anything he set out to achieve.

It's great to live in the real world fella.

Those people alive 150yrs ago are all probably dead now and English is now the official language of the US

Doesn't it make sense that anyone migrating into the US have to speak the official language of the place you seek to live in

That's not how it works in real life sir. Those people who where alive 150 years ago resisted long after the treaty. You are not going a disappear a whole culture of people and their language in only 150 years. These people all live along the border of Mexico and the larger continent, so are well...... Spanish.

Again, you saying this boldly because you are from a country whose lingua franca is English. If you were French, you would understand things differently.

If you would want annex a French-speaking nation at your border, then you will have to prepare for and accommodate a significant influx of French-speaking people for hundreds of years. This is real life.

raumdeuter:
US reduce tax on China from 145% to 30%
China reduce tax on US from 125% to 10%

For a period of 90days

Is this a declaration of celebration or celebration of return to common sense?

raumdeuter:
Keir Starmer : If you want to live in the UK, you should speak English. That’s common sense. So we’re raising English language requirements across every main immigration route.


If the US tries to do this, The democrats will be up in arms

It makes common sense for the UK. English has been spoken in the Britain since the 5th and 6th centuries. You could say, it is the land where the original Old English language was invented. Why shouldn't they enforce? That's not shocking. You just want to make it look so.

On the contrary, the US annexed Mexico - areas that are now part of California, New Mexico, Arizona, Utah, Colorado, Mexico, Wyoming, Nevada. - only just over 150 years ago, in the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo. Where do you think those people went?

Know your history mate.

benalvino3:
It would have made sense if you spoke out about Karmelo Anthony's Fundraising. But you people are blind on one side.

Also, understand the point Matt Walsh was making, as he clearly stated she should not be using such a word, and in fact, no one should be using such a word.

He as a point.

You make a mockery of the freedom you enjoy as a black man when you think Matt Walsh has a point. He specifically said "it's just a word".

For the love of God, even if you don't have children, you must have cousins, nephews, nieces, who will be living in this world when you leave it behind? Would you want them living in a world where we return to the normalisation of the N word, because "it's just a word"?

What is wrong with you guys?


Before now, I didn't know about any back story fueled this. Quite frankly, for me, it's immaterial. If there was any racial tone to it, it should be condemned, just as Shiloh Hendrix should be condemned. Shiloh said "I called the child just what he was"

There is no justification in this world for you or anyone to justify the use of the N....Word against your kind, because these guys don't ask you if you own a Red Cap before calling you that as well.

This is Lilly Gaddis doubling down, in support of Shiloh on the Piers Morgan show only 4 days ago. I found a short of just some of the things she said. In her words, "I want to help white people achieve real freedom of speech"

You think these guys asked first if the father of the 5yo voted for Trump? You guys are not ready for what's coming.

airmark:
I just went for the weakest among the lots.

Why are you always making blunders in your takes? It is another confirmation that you don't think through most of your views dropped. Same for Jackson, same for Morata.

Same for Jackson, same for Morata......... But not same for Bellotti and Dovbyk and Vlahovic and Muniz..... to name a few.

I like the impression you have of yourself. You genuinely think you have thought it all through.

airmark:
Arsenal, multiple successful seasons.

I don't want Arsenal's type of successful seasons, i believe thats the difference between my goal and yours for Chelsea.

You see Madrid, Liverpool and Manchester City for there don't you?........ but you hold on to anything that diverts from the original point.

Leave Arsenal, debate Madrid, Liverpool and City without strikers.

City drop points.

2 mins more.

Singapore1:
anytime e no get anything sensible to say again he result to insults

we gave you at least 3 top teams playing without striker, you dey vex

It's a waste of time. I spent a full year explaining to him how Madrid, Liverpool, Arsenal, City.... had multiple successful seasons without a striker. He will quote you out of context, refuse your talking points, deliberately misunderstand you....... then rinse and repeat.

White supremacist is normalized yet she is comfortable living with a white guy, sleeping with a white guy every night

They must be feeling that white supremacy on their beds

Why is her own white guy not a danger to her?

Not everyone is born a victim who sees racism everywhere he goes, It actually takes a level of mental disorder to see racism everywhere she goes and to tag every white person as a danger

Radical in the streets, colonized in the sheets

What was your reaction to JD Vance's support for the racist who wants to "normalise Indian Hate"?

@airmark

I genuinely don't have the time to go back and look for posts, and I mean that very respectfully.

If you look back at most of my posts, what you will find is me saying explicitly, that pound for pound, Jackson's output has been the best investment of 30m. My data-led argument was that it is okay to spend 100m or thereabout on a striker, but output cannot be marginal over Jackson's. It must be significantly better. And all the names you kept recommending were around that price mark, but with very marginally better output. It is a perfectly logical argument.

Just because it is not an outright "Jackson out" point of view does mean it doesn't consider a part of your view.


You will also find that I argue that if we had strong support cast, and follow the model of Madrid, Liverpool, you will find that a top 100m striker may not be necessary......I cited the successes of Liverpool and Madrid to back up this argument. I also cited how Spurs had the best striker in the country for years, and never won anything. Again, data-led argument.

Another perfectly logical argument that doesn't refute the purchase of a striker, but saying concentrate first on building other departments.



The third one was, "what's the point abusing Jackson every week?" He's not Haaland. He's not Kane. He was a 21yo, picked out of Spain, with little experience for 30m, by our owners' management strategy. You can decide you don't like him without coming for him every week.

This, and the other arguments don't equal a "don't replace Jackson" stance.


And you will find the same logical arguments from the likes of Kimbeast, Timbros, Singapore1 et al. I take time to read these fellas' POV and I can see the nuance in their respective arguments.


What you are doing is taking a complete anti-Jackson position, and repeating over and over that anyone who doesn't stand where you stand never wanted Jackson replaced. ............ This is a complete misrepresentation of our POV. And as you can see, you have now corrupted the views of these other guys who never followed the debate.

airmark:
Anybody that kicked against replacing Jackson, wasn't pro-attack. You and Timbros were against it as you mocked and termed it looking for shiny striker.

What good has your 'unshiny' Jackson done for us now?

Two things could be true at the same time. You generally have more time than most people to repeat your stance. It doesn't really mean that people kept quiet. It probably means they don't have as much time as you do.

Second point. I can tell you confidently, nobody in here kicked against replacing Jackson. Not one single soul.

Thazard:
What is the bolded supposed to mean?


I'm not blind,I look at the both sides before I made final judgement. Because I support airmark most times doesn't mean I agree with everything he says. I think before I make a judgement bro.


Should we say those that agree with you doesn't think for themselves? That they are blind followers?


I've been here since the beginning of the defence vs attack brouhaha. Your major stance has always been to upgrade the defenders. Only when the attack fvcks up too much you tilt towards a balance team. Even airmark sometimes agree with a balance team but his major stance is upgrading the attack.


So make nobody change mouth.



Timbros - The defence is our problem

Airmark - The attack is our problem


Nobody should come here and say he has been pro - balance. EOD.


Balance ko, balanciaga ni.

This is not true. It's not as clear-cut as pro-defence v pro-attack.

I for one was always pro-balance, across all departments. Ibime for instance has always been pro-midfield, which is the fulcrum for the balance we all crave.

I, like you, saw the whole debate, and I can tell you that from what I learnt from Timbros, Kimbeast et al.....there's not a single person that was not pro-attack. You just had people who feel stronger about other departments.

Come on man. You needed to crown that intelligence from George with a superb goal.

How did he not sore that?
