MODERATORS
They will be manufactured elsewhere. Namely, places like Cambodia, Vietnam, and Mexico. Those factory jobs aren't coming to the US.
Hey look, it's one of the people who are going to suffer the consequences of their vote.
American industry has been pivoting away from China for over a decade, because their wages are outpacing India and Indonesia.
Meanwhile, Chinese exports are flooding into Latin America, rapidly improving the economic condition of big countries like Mexico and Brazil.
But sure. Let's see how this pans out.
Sure thing, bro.
China's economy is already undergoing a transformation and they've started moving their capital overseas. Chinese owned businesses will operate out of lots of other countries.
Also: it takes a long time for supply chains to handle change as we saw with the pandemic. How many years of high prices for Chinese goods before all of the manufacturing has left China? That is assuming that other countries can immediately match Chinese efficiency and don't have higher prices for many more years due to needing to recoup the initial expenditure.
Yeah it sucks that capitalists outsourced (and continue to outsource even in the service sector) all of your jobs, but they're doing it because even the meager amount of your production that was coming back into your pocket rather than lining theirs is too much for them to tolerate you having.
You're attacking the problem from the wrong angle because that's how they want you to attack it. Funny how the wealthiest American oligarchs aren't threatened by any of this economic change that's supposedly here to help the average American.
You're worried about "right to work" while Elon added 70 billion to his net worth and thousands of people (generations of his offspring) will never have to work a day in their extravagant lives.
Keep worrying about CHY-nuh, though.
USA literally uses child labor overseas
Oh look, another rube who doesn't understand what a tariff is, how it works, or what it's supposed to be used for.
You know what can't get "manufactured" in the U.S.? Things that can't be grown in the U.S.
So enjoy much more expensive coffee, tea, chocolate and even Coca-Cola.
And yet you're not aware that the tariffs will not only apply to China and it was never suggested that they only apply to China.
China does not exist in isolation and cheering on a terrible economic plan because you see the potential of one good thing coming out of it is a bit silly. Especially when China still has the rest of the world to trade with.
You don't seem to get it. This is like saying "I advocate for cutting off the pinky toe but ignoring the rest of the foot" while the doctor is standing there with a saw, ready to push you out of the way.
I know what you said. And I'm trying to tell you you're commending Mussolini for making the trains run on time.
I fully agree with screw China, but learn to read a damn label to avoid their low quality trash. The looming Mango Mussolini trade war will increase prices.
