raumdeuter:Conveniently ignoring the value of the dollar. Other countries did not make our products expensive just because. It’s expensive mostly because Americans can’t work for the same amount of money laborers in those countries accept. You guys want us to keep being the giant of the world with the fattest incomes hence the reason people rush to migrate here. It comes at a cost. Are you okay with the devaluation of the dollar? Let your income have the same purchasing power as someone who makes the same amount of money in China? If yes then we are off to a workable start. But I promise you a lot of people won’t like that |

descarado:Something we can agree on But do you know who is anti union in America? Not the left. Red states are notorious for being anti union. Just days before workers at a Mercedes-Benz plant in Alabama began voting last week on whether to unionize, Republican Gov. Kay Ivey signed a new law that would claw back state incentives from companies that voluntarily recognize labor unions. |

cococandy:America is the biggest market in the world, everyone wants to sell to America. If American market is not buying your products you are not going far, but these countries don't want America to sell to them to protect their own economy they place a tariff on American goods coming into their own country The trade off is cheap goods in America vs Employment for people in America |

I told him you don't need 1tb for a system drive, but his system has only one drive so 1 tb it is. I may get a second drive for hie3 wwan slot, a 2242 if I can be sure of the compatibility.We did get a 512gb microsd card as secondary storage You see how the words roll off without Google? That is what real coherent experienced it support looks like Not a pauper pretending to be a successful professional I still bought two nvmes for those landfill pcs last weekend Crucial and western digital Pro tip always use crystal disk info to confirm the true state of any drive you buy Most Nigerians unfortunately are actually like Bemuruca dubious, duplicituos fraudulent thieves who will try to sell used products as new. Then again some are also, like bemuwanker posers who don't even know that what they are selling is used or how that matters. Poverty has so bleeped your mind that you mix financial prudence with being broke. |

raumdeuter:This didn’t address the cost of buying from America. Even at minimum wage (which a lot of people already don’t want to work for), the cost of paying American workers eclipses the cost of paying workers in other countries. What’s your proposal on how these countries can make purchasing from us affordable for them at the rate they pay their workers? |

feedthenation:That is the real pointer here. There is documented history. Unfortunately Americans watched and swallowed a scripted reality TV show and convinced themselves that barking you're fired is the hall mark of a competent businessman. Maybe if Kim Kardashian starts her own apprentice show she will have a shot in the future. She too is a billionaire, after all. |

cococandy:Maybe Raum can tell us if the American wage has kept up with inflation. America that is even built on credit to start with. Will people go all in on even more debt? This is another situation we are already witnessing in Nigeria. We have simply chosen to move away from some items. This may be tecnos moment. They already have Chris captain America advertising their phones. By the time trump is done the price of a Tecno will be the old price of an iPhone. |

cococandy: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 |

feedthenation:Trump is fighting my war on Chinco products. They never cared about Africa because they make shit loads from their higher priced higher quality exports to America and other western nations There will be serious trade rebalancing. China will get lots of 110V equipment they can't sell to America and can't dump them anywhere.. |

GloriousGbola: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 |

We shall witness greatness like never before trust me. |

raumdeuter:There’s so much to unpack in this post. Sorry for the long post. 1)so you’re okay with more expensive products as long as they are made in America? Right now, The only way to keep manufacturing jobs here is to force people to accept goods at very expensive price points. According to you guys, the economy was terrible under Biden and people are suffering. Your solution is to make the things they need even more expensive. How’s that for a solution?. 2) Other countries didn’t make buying from America hard. America made buying from itself hard. If American minimum wage is 10x the next trading partner, whose fault is it that the trading partner would be seeking more affordable options? We have this massively inflated currency that we force other countries to trade with. It’s to our benefit. But We can’t turn back and pretend that their currencies being weaker than ours doesn’t have an impact on how much more expensive buying from us is. I’m no economist but isn’t this obvious? Someone with a degree in international economics should correct me if I’m wrong please. 3) Now let’s talk about how I really feel about American manufacturing and jobs here. Because you’re either making assumptions about me now or conveniently forgotten that I’ve in the past spoken out about corporations shipping jobs abroad due to greed and maximizing profits. To which you whipped out your classic defense of greedy corporations and how profit is the ultimate holy grail. We could have manufacturing here if corporations would take a pay cut. 5) it’s rich that you suddenly care about American jobs. I thought no one owed anyone else a job? Wasn’t that your response to the mass layoffs? I digress but it can’t be ignored so I had to point it out. 6) I would love a boost in American manufacturing if done correctly. Putting tariffs first. Causing a crash in the market and hike in prices with no alternatives yet is a silly way to go about it. 7) Do you know there’s a world in which manufacturing happens in America, workers are paid fairly and the products don’t have to cost an arm and a leg? The only trade off would be that the companies don’t get to take in gargantuan profits with each quarter being better than the last. They would make good money still but that won’t satisfy their greed and knowing you, you’d rather support suffering for more expensive products than for billionaires to take a pay cut. So if you’re not in support of a system where we can make this happen, then you just like Trump are not yet serious about bringing manufacturing back to America. |

GloriousGbola:The price I quoted is almost what you did. I singled out one Disk for the western markets. We also get the same from them, with stamps etc but obviously of poorer quality. I have second hard servers in the office bought from ebay UK mostly that I use for lab testing environment. Good quality too good specs at a fraction of the cost of new ones. I actually use them as gateway servers in some sites . |

raumdeuter:The difference is Chinese economy doesn’t run on handing more and more profits to wealthy oligarchs govt after govt. Their corporations don’t run their govt. American corporations run American govt. our politicians are mere errand boys put in place to ensure corporate welfare. Anything that favors the people is rebranded as socialism and they have your party at the forefront running propaganda against it. Some of the things you guys want sound like what we want. But we could achieve them if you would stop letting yourselves be bamboozled by greedy corporations. Same corporations who tell you they’re not the problem. That your neighbor is the problem. Even though your neighbor works 3 jobs and still can’t make a decent living due to low wages. The same low wages you’re talking about now but have conveniently ignored how your party keeps fighting against competitive wages and workers’ wellbeing. |
