re: Trump’s tariffs might actually be working as he intended

The "net benefit to the US" will be in the form of job creation and domestic manufacturing at the expense of the consumer. If it were cheaper to manufacture here, companies would already be doing it. For the tariffs to have their intended effect of bringing manufacturing back, it has to be more lucrative to produce here than overseas, which means the price you pay at the store will go up.
Picture this: the town you live in has a bakery but they charge $8 for a loaf of homemade bread. The next town over has a bakery that charges $5. The mayor of your town doesn't like that everyone goes to get the cheaper bread, so he implements an "out-of-town tax." Now you have to pay $10 to get the out-of-town bread, or $8 to get local bread. Now instead of $5 bread you're paying $8 for local bread or $10 for foreign bread. Is that winning?

In your scenario, the price the consumer pays is the same, and the company invested $ in the US and hired American workers and absorbed all the costs. That sounds like a deal any American would take all day long.
I'm mocking the idea that a company would move their manufacturing here for the same outcome. Why would they build a factory here when next week the tariffs could be gone?

Will those people complaining about tariffs voluntarily refuse any tariff rebates next year?
We aren't getting "tariff rebates" :lol:
And if by some miracle we did, it's literally wealth redistribution. A Bernie Sanders plan. Taxing the rich and giving to the poor.

Yes! And how can those companies avoid taking those losses from tariff’s?
By building in the US
So instead of a charging $100 for a pair of shoes that costs $10 to make in China +$80 in tariffs, they can charge $100 for a pair of shoes that costs $90 to make in Ville Platte with no tariffs. Brilliant :bow:
Yeah, the entirety of economics is wrong on tariffs and Trump is right! Stupid cucks!

People will say "ACTUALLY RFK just wants vaccines to be well-researched and he's for the proven ones," then someone will come along and say this

Did you not get the memo on the mass casualties, sudden death, juvinile cancers, sudden chronic illness from the toxic "Covid vax" ingredients list -- that include mRNA, mercury, fetal material, monkey DNA, etc?? The epidemic from Autism, Alzheimers, mentally illness? VAXXES. Or do you think all of this is "misinfo"?
I repeat: ALL. Vaxxes. Are. Bio-weapons. The overlords hate us.
The REAL information and truth respecting "Pertussis" and the rest of Rockefeller Medicine's weaponized vax / euthanasia program is readily available to ANYONE willing to research the subject. But first you must be de-programmed from decades of mind control and fear porn conditioning.

I'm capable of using a stand with screws, but man is it convenient to stand the tree up, step on the foot pedal and be done

Yearly PSA: buy this Christmas tree stand
Posted by Ingeniero on 11/25/25 at 1:01 pm
With Thanksgiving having already been forgotten to make room for more Christmas, the trees are going up. Have one less headache this Christmas season and buy this stand. Instead of cussing because the tree is heavy, off balance, and that piece of shite stand you bought at Walmart last year is leaking all over the wood floors, you could be sitting back drinking an old fashioned and smelling a fresh fir in your living room.
Yes it's $150 ($130 if you buy directly from the manufacturer's website) but this thing will save your marriage.

Fun fact, WKU has won a national championship more recently than A&M.

Last night was a sausage fest but they were rowdy, shirts off, and it looked positive on TV. When you consider the product on the field, they really had no reason to stay and watch us struggle against WKU. Late 4th quarter and the commentary team was still praising the effort. So props to them.
