None of them see the ripple effect or they just don't care.

I believe silence is a young person who isn't getting crushed in his investments or impacted by the wake or he would stop simply paroting every lie these people spread.

Even ramrouser and calla know trump and his minions are compulsive liars. I wonder their opinions, since they seem to have disappeared since the tariff bombs 💣 started.

Trump has screwed them every one

So many episodes of Shark Tank in the early seasons had entrepreneur saying he was manufacturing in the USA and wanted to continue to do that. The sharks would immediately say you really need to go overseas to lower costs.
Scrub daddy actually moved back to the US.
 
Free knowledge
If by that you mean intentionally misleading information, sure.

Here's a question: this German tax -- the $128! -- on the imports, what is it? It's not a tariff, because all tariffs are imposed at the EU level. But he said Germany specifically? So what tax is being applied? Do you even know? I do.

The whole setup is perfectly fair. American exports to Europe pay the same taxes as Europeans do (which is the relevant metric for competition), plus a set of tariffs on top that are tiny and mostly inconsequential. Not entirely inconsequential, but mostly. Trade barriers are quite simply not a significant limiting factor in American exports, which you would learn from talking to pretty much anyone with experience in the field.

Which is why this Donald Trump sycophant has to go on TV to complain about the unfairness of policies that have nothing to do with trade. Nothing.

You keep talking EU level, they don't have America's best interests
 
Of course they don't. Or, if I had a better editor, "Duh". The EU has the EU's best interests at heart. The point super is making is that the VAT in Germany applies universally to all imports (not just American) as well as products made in Germany.

Do you reasonably expect sovereign nations to modify their domestic tax structures according to American whims? Why would they do that?

Why not answer the question?

Do you understand the tax structure of working with the EU?iPhone?

Maybe you understand the regulatory structure of threading with the EU.

maybe you understand his Brexit impacted those also.

I mean this should all be common knowledge to one that can determine the fairness and impact of taxes and tariffs. Right?

He simply doesn't understand. But he wants to throw out a video of someone using the same bullshit talking points about millions of jobs. Then the guy talks about automation and having 7 engineers. Wow.

The automation will make more money for the C-suite guys than millions of new head count, so we know who will win that fight.

I didn't get to finish the video, does he explain where the demand is going to come from to generate the millions of new jobs? Are those jobs in steel or across all manufacturing, like screwing in little screws on iPhones?
