Title: Trump says Americans could feel 'pain' thanks to tariffs on Mex, CA, China
Post by: Lartinos on February 03, 2025, 05:11:52 AM
“ Donald Trump said people in the US will feel "some pain" after he imposed tariffs on trade with Canada, Mexico and China.
The president defended the duties on imports to the US, which will place duties on billions of dollars of trade.
What's next?
Economists and diplomats have signalled hope the trade tariffs will be temporary.”

Those supporters are really going to feel some pain when the price is jacked up on his crappy grifting items.  China might decide not to produce any items for him anymore.  Canada already is pulling all US alcohol from it's shelves and sending it back.

"America's southern border usually gets all the attention regarding migrants crossing into the United States. But in the last few years, the northern border has received the largest amount of crossings in its history. Join the Clinton County, NY Sheriff's Office and me to better understand what's happening between the US/Canadian border."

Trump's Canada, Mexico, China tariffs suspend loophole behind fentanyl shipments

President Donald Trump's new tariff orders against Canada, Mexico and China all contain clauses suspending a duty-free exemption for low-value shipments below $800 that is widely seen as a loophole that has allowed shipments of fentanyl and its precursor chemicals into the United States.

Staunching that flow was a primary motivation cited by Trump in imposing sweeping import taxes on goods on the three largest U.S. trading partners.

You realize that is fentanyl shipments are stopped, that the rush from the dregs in the red states to jump the wall into Mexico is going to increase.  Not a bad thing though.

Nobody said he was.

But you can't even respond in your own words at this point.  It's more spoon fed youtube videos.  Did you even bother to click the link I posted?

We are not measuring Biden in weeks, but in the 4 year trend, and from where he started - prices DID bump up and down, but overall increased.

Trump is only being measured in weeks, because that's how long he's been in office.  To draw definitive conclusions about this is the equivalent of judging a baseball player after after a few games.

I think you really did think your food prices might drop instantly.

What's the point?

It's been said plenty of times here.  People just react how they want to.

I do not believe the tariffs are permanent. I believe they are a negotiation tool.  If I'm wrong, we'll see.  I've never been afraid of admitting it.

The US has tremendous leverage in this situation. Let's see how it plays out.

The reality is prior admins let the bullshit go on too long, and then ran a candidate who showed absolutely NO reason why it wouldn't continue.  That's why Trump became necessary.  Going to be a bit hectic for awhile, but he's doing exactly what he said he'd do.

No worries.  I'm no econ expert, but from a macro lens I would think large tariffs on our two closest neighbors is not sustainable, or good for any of us long term, even with our leverage.

But it's truth that Mexico has enabled (with the help of Biden's admin) a ridiculous amount of folks to come in illegally.  We all do believe in opportunity and the American Dream, but at some point math kicks in and makes it prohibitive and undermines that.  That's when draconian border closings, mass deportation, and economic threats become necessary.

Extreme partisanship and TDS contribute to making it even more chaotic than it should be.

Lol, I never even paid attention to this shit until one day I saw a headline that was so preposterous, that I ended up following links in the article itself to its data sources, and its own data showed the headline of the article was a lie.

It started me thinking about media manipulation.  So I started paying attention, and found many examples.

While I don't think social media companies started out with bad intentions, their success has given the opportunity for nefarious opportunities, and bad actors have put those opportunities into effect.

I am still perplexed by TDS.  I've never seen a mass psychosis infect so many somewhat normal people.  I do believe most of these folks are not happy with their own personal situations, and gravitate to groups to be socially connected.

Of course Trump doesn't help himself, but when it gets to a point where the government is actively trying to silence individuals, our government agencies are trying to set up a sitting president, and our judicial systems are being weaponized, the shit needs to stop.  To compound how bizarre it is, SO MANY PEOPLE ARE OK WITH IT, as long as it's anti Trump.

I'd say the only good news for me looking at this shit is I'm able to stay emotionally detached. I know people who have gotten physically ill due to it.

People think tariffs mean prices skyrocket as does inflation…. No, the biggest shift felt is the range of available products shrinks.

Canada showing everyone how the system works 😉 and best thing is Canadians are gagging to remove US products, they love not being able to buy American goods and love tariffs.

Never mind the Tariff distraction show
 how safe are your savings & investments ?

The future of banking.
If you wanted a real doomsday scenario, you’d start worrying about the future of the FDIC and ACH systems.

The FDIC is the program that guarantees the bank deposits of ordinary consumers. It was one of the most important New Deal reforms enacted to prevent another Great Depression—
and it has been in the Musk/Trump crosshairs.
https://www.cnbc.com/2025/01/18/how-trumps-second-term-could-mean-the-downfall-of-the-fdic-cfpb.html (https://www.cnbc.com/2025/01/18/how-trumps-second-term-could-mean-the-downfall-of-the-fdic-cfpb.html)
 If the FDIC is neutered, the rules surrounding capital requirements for banks would shift in ways that are impossible to anticipate, and could reshuffle the American banking system itself.

Even more concerning is the country’s ACH system.

The Automated Clearinghouse (ACH) is the utility system that routes and transfers most electronic funds in the United States. There is a federal component (the Federal ACH) and a smaller component run by a consortium of banks.

What if Musk is looking to disrupt the ACH system? Or more to the point: Replace it with his own, private system?

Here are some things we know:

    Musk recently declared that his company X will, in a year, be such a complete financial services hub that “you won’t need a bank account.”
https://www.theverge.com/2023/10/26/23934216/x-twitter-bank-elon-musk-2024 (https://www.theverge.com/2023/10/26/23934216/x-twitter-bank-elon-musk-2024)

    Over the weekend X.com became the exclusive platform used for external communication by the NTSB[/

    Also over the weekend, Musk launched a series of lawsuits against private corporations for not advertising on X. His position seems to be that private companies should be compelled to buy advertising services from him.
https://www.npr.org/2025/02/01/nx-s1-5283271/elon-musk-lawsuit-advertisers-boycott-new (https://www.npr.org/2025/02/01/nx-s1-5283271/elon-musk-lawsuit-advertisers-boycott-new)


    Musk’s forces allegedly have access to the Treasury’s federal payments system."

I run a sandwich shop so I know a bit about it.

End users set the range of value of a good/service FIRST, then price is a result of picking a point within the range where volume is acceptable.

Tariffs = less choice = less consumption = less inflation

You can adjust the CPi metric using frequency and duration. When you buy less of something less often, you can lower the frequency and extend duration in the formula and like magic, you have low CPI which allows lower rates :D

Trump on Saturday ordered sweeping tariffs on goods from Mexico, Canada and China, as part of demands they stanch the flow of illegal fentanyl, a leading cause of drug overdoses in the United States.”

This is definitely a concern which is why I posted that article.

My views only skew towards conservatism because that is where truth usually lies and I can see most lefties are mentally deranged.

Extra tariffs on China though I probably don’t agree with and I do think it will cause overall inflation, which does seem to go along with their overall agenda.

But yeah, are they actually going to happen?

Inflation was nonexistent under Biden so if there is an increase with Trump it will be devastating.

China has been adding high tariffs on US products for basically forever. I sell semiconductor measurement systems to manufacturers in Chengdu. They  add 27%+ automatically. China is not an open market and the USA has been giving them a free ride. Anybody who thinks Chinese tariffs on US goods will actually make a difference are clueless.

Some analysts I llke to watch are talking in revolutionary terms wrt what Trump and Musk are, for example with USAID, say they are fundamentally attempting to change the US, although these aren't against Trump/these measures necessarily. "They are dismantling the US as we know it."
