Trump Announces 25% Tariff On Talking Cars

https://theonion.com/trump-announces-25-tariff-on-talking-cars/

#TRUMP #TARIFFS #SATIRE #GOP #MAGA #PRESS

Forgot to mention at least one important caveat.

To some analysts current data doesn't suggest an inflationary pressure as a result of the #Trump #tariffs but, given the sorry state of the #US #economy right now, rather a #MarginSqueeze with (more) #layoffs & mass #bankruptcy as a result.

That of course would not be helpful at all, meaning a jump from the frying pan into the fire.

Others even foresee a #stagflation, combining the worst of two worlds.

Anyway, change will come. 🌎

oh shit .. 05:15 in the morning

just spend a night researching #US #consumer houshold #debt, without noticing

at least you can profit of my stupidity because I'm telling now that the world is clearly headed into a 2008 style global #EconomicCrisis

epicenter will again be the #USA

this time it isn't going to be just a #mortage default crisis but a everything default (#AutoLoans, #CreditCard, #StudentDebt, ..)

and the trigger is #tariffs & #doge adding to an already financially hurting nation

Canada says they are starting retaliatory tariffs on the United States next week. @CNN has more.

#MyThoughts (cont.)

Changing a country from a net importer to a net exporter of manufactured goods would require that the quality and prices of the goods be competitive on the world market.

1) Quality — there are many other countries manufacturing fantastic goods

2) Price — would the US compete (must consider cost factors like labor and COGS, which would rise w/ #tariffs )

… unless the country plans on boxing itself in and trading with itself

#MyThoughts (cont.)

US-based auto makers & suppliers will be hit very hard by extreme #tariffs . Some might even fail unless subsidized by the US gov’t. After all, Rome wasn’t built in a day, and it takes time to shift supply chains and manufacturing methods.

Interestingly, though, #Tesla stands to benefit over its competitors.

#MyThoughts (cont.)

The US has been a net importer for much time (consumer spending makes up ~68% of GDP) and its citizens, the consumers, are used to having much purchasing choice.

Pushing the country to fundamental economic change through #tariffs will inevitably isolate the #USA while hurting its economy.

Prices will rise per free market principles of supply & demand unless they are set by the State (meaning #Trump — is that where he’s going when threatening companies?).

#economics

So #MyThoughts —

This is not free market capitalism. It is ultra protectionist quasi-mercantilism. He’s treating the US like a developing country with an emerging market, trying to push it to become a net exporter (vs. importer) by force at the expense of other nations and the US economy (at least in the short-term).

And absolutely - US auto makers / suppliers would have to raise prices to meet their bottom lines when their COGS suddenly increase because of tariffs.

#USA #trump #tariffs

Trump warned US-based automobile manufacturers not to raise prices when his substantial auto-industry tariffs go into effect, leaving car makers fearing retribution.

Those automakers and industry suppliers (particularly in Detroit) have made clear there is little they can do BUT raise prices in the face of #tariffs.

Bringing more factories back to the U. S.— a tenet of Trump's tariff strategy— can take years to make happen.

Elon Musk & Donald Trump Have Chosen Chaos

#ElonMusk secured his choke hold on the mechanics of the federal govt weeks ago. Along w/ #DonaldTrump, he has already standardized chaos across the US.

"the #US is in pure #chaos mode. Tens of thousands of workers are fired one week and forcibly rehired the next. #Tariffs rise and fall... #Deportations fly in the face of judicial orders, careening the country toward a #ConstitutionalCrisis."

Donald Trump's wild directives might well ruin the US economy and undermine his political support — briefly.

Remember, in George Orwell's "1984," Oceania is in economic ruins, and in a state of perpetual war with shifting enemies and allies.

Economic ruin is a feature, not a bug.

There shall be a brief window during which Trump may be impeached, then it shall be closed forever.

Canada is back in fashion:

"Canada is the second-largest country by land mass, with the world’s longest coastline. It is bookended by the Pacific and Atlantic oceans, making it ideally situated for global trade.

Marko Papic, chief strategist at BCA Research, also reckons Canada could be better off in a warmer world. “Global warming could increase agricultural yields, open up large swaths of the country to mineral exploration, and allow for new trade routes through the Arctic,” he said.

The country is energy independent, with the world’s largest deposits of high-grade uranium and the third-largest proven oil reserves. It is also the fifth-largest producer of natural gas.

Canada boasts a huge supply of other commodities too, including the largest potash reserves (used to make fertiliser), over one-third of the world’s certified forests and a fifth of the planet’s surface freshwater. Plus, it has an abundance of cobalt, graphite, lithium and other rare earth elements, which are used in renewable technologies.

“Canada absolutely has potential to be a global superpower,” added Papic. But the nation has lacked the visionary leadership and policy framework to capitalise on its advantages.

US President Donald Trump’s tariff threat has, however, shifted the Overton window. There is now a growing political consensus to unlock Canada’s economic potential and reduce its dependence on exports to its southern neighbour. That task will fall to either Prime Minister Mark Carney or opposition leader Pierre Poilievre following an election this year.

Canada’s GDP has long trailed its G7 peers, ranking 16th globally in purchasing power parity terms. A country with its geography could clearly generate higher output. To do so, the Canadian economy needs to become more efficient, raise investment and attract more high-skilled workers. Here’s how."

Now you're talking about food testing. & when I bring up the issue of clarity, that's what I'm talking about & -I'm hearing from corp. America, that we're not sure where this is going."
