Grass is green, water is wet, and retaliatory tariffs are fucking stupid.
I always thought that it would be funny for a country to add an additional tariff onto items that they sell as retaliation to Trump putting a tariff on them.
The real surprise, as someone who is not living in the US, is that people just seem to be able to pay the extra ?
I’m sure there must be people under extreme hardship, but it doesn’t seem to be having any effect on the political dialog, or support for Trump?
Like he’s totally fucked so many Primary Producers, but there’s no outcry.
In America, every once in a while the people seem to vote based upon the economy. They, for a time, seem to acknowledge that the statistics may even be wrong, and that way too many people in the country live in abject poverty. Then, they elect a Republican, and they forget they ever gave half a shit about poor, working poor, or homeless people.
We are a deeply unserious country full of deeply unserious people.
The study also says while the amaricans pay the tax at the same time the imports also drop.
Now I would also like to know what are the americans buying instead? Are they buying lower quality? Or higher prices elswhere? Are they no longer not buying those products at all, hence no replacements?
