Online shoppers hit with massive tariff charges on their clothes -- 50% inflation -- Thanks Trump

Plenty of sources for other stuff other than those 2 websites

 

You have made several accusations against me that are not factual. I addressed those in my reply above. That you don’t seem to mind to ignore that or cherry pick what you want to fit your narrative is your problem not mine. As I said above, taking exception to specific allegations is not the same thing as denying existence of the practice. If your hatred of Trump does not allow you to recognize that, then you do indeed have a problem. That you take that as an insult is not the same problem, but a problem nonetheless. Good luck.

 

It could but it really hasn't happened yet

 

You didn't regularly insult city or just about anybody that stated that companies were taking advantage of inflation to raise prices? Would you like me to link you doing that or can we both agree that you did?

Frankly, this is a word salad. There is no logical point being made here. Just lashing out.

You implied that I was mentally ill. You did so as an attempt to insult. The fact that you are now trying to backtrack it into something else is just because you won't take responsibilities for your actions. Also, the same reason that you got angry enough to actually lib the insults when I pointed out that you were not accurately portraying the article.

 

And now, they are pulling it down because....it was dumb and millions of packages were piling up at airports. You know, these are the types of thing that an adult could always ask about before implementing a policy...

If a tariff on clothes pushed up the price of clothes that would mean people had less money to spend on other things. This would cause the price of other things to rise more slowly. Or so it seems

 

That is probably why the small buyer $<800 “exemption” existed in the first place, and why the USPS recently had to halt incoming mail. To process tariffs and small buyers requires government bureaucracy. They only had “concepts of a plan”, but no plan for the actual mechanics of doing the job.

 

It is exactly why. Administrative cost > Revenue collected.

Basically, this is government for its dumbest purpose. We are spending money to try to tell people not to try to save money.

 

Knowing you you’ve already done it so go ahead. It won’t be the first time that you have searched extensively into prior posts. Bu if you’re going to post it, please have the courtesy and intellectual honesty to post the entire exchange.

While living rent-free in your head is cheap, your level of obsession is a little disturbing. I’m going to be productive and go to happy hour. But you go ahead and do what you do.

 

Just like he pump faked with Mexico and Canada, he now backs down to China lol

So much winning!
