US Tariffs, Sigh!

[Stacey K]

You all take this political stuff to serious. There is nothing you can do about it but some of you know that, so you try to show off with your grade 13 intelligence on world trade.

It's summer up here now so that means it's our window of sunlight up here! I'll be outside every night and busy every weekend so I'll catch back up with politics in Fall LOL

Just buy American brand Colorado ink and you'll be fine.


He threatened apple with iPhones having a 25% tarrif if they're not made in USA.... Isn't singling out a company illegal?

But even if not... That would make iPhones cost over $2000, and take a year and billions of dollars for them to move production over.... Crazy.

Not to mention that'd be an unfair disadvantage to them... What about Samsung, a Korean company? If iPhones have to be made in America and incur a much larger production cost.... It's just going to make people gravitate towards other brands. I hate iPhone, and will never buy one... But competition is good, it fosters innovation.


I remember when this all happened people saying the countries would pay, that it's not a tax on the American people.... Now that the tarrifs are in and people are starting to see all the price increases, hopefully they can see it for what it is now.

Why doesn't trump make the Netherlands (where Colorado ink is made) pay the ink tariff ? Why is he making me pay it?

Wasn't China / India supposed to pay the apple tariffs

And Mexico was going to pay for the wall, the war was going to end on day one, egg prices were going to go down immediately. Etc, etc. And there’s still people who are drinking the kool aid.

So, who's gonna pay for that fabulous dome?
Maybe he can sell that fancy luxury jet from qtatar to pay for it. Or at best a down payment.

Maybe with all the money the US and Canada are raking in with tariffs and surtaxes on their importers maybe they can go halfsies on my family's French chateau which I'd be happy to sell to them. It's a bit of a fixer-upper but with some elbow grease it would make a great Airbnb for Don, Mark and their fanboys. Possibly they can give Davos a run as host of the next WEF rave.
