What's the point of tariffs if manufacturing won't come back?
Mattel sucks anyway.
Get my kids some knockoff or more productive toy like a musical instrument or some tools or some shit.
Wood burning kits used to be cool. Let's make chemistry sets cool again too while we're at it.
Barbie and Hot Wheels are fucking mindless faff.
Then some other company will make toys here.
It cant come back. Cheeto Vader doesn't realize his plan is like lifetimes too late.
But since hes a moron he won't care. Hopefully congress wakes up and realizes this is taxation without representation...ya know like the tea party in Boston?
Ynon Kreiz (Hebrew: ינון קרייז) is an Israeli-American businessman and current chairman and CEO of Mattel.
Who is going to work in the factories here for minimum wage? Is it all the MIGAtards? The ones who keep saying buy American and bring back manufacturing - surely they will quit their jobs to go work for less pay in the factories. Just like they say - can't keep having instant gratification, gotta look ahead to the future and their contributions to the factories will make America great again! Sure it will be tough be we have to work hard through these tough times for a brighter future where America wins!!
Better trade deals hopefully and to
limit business with China. Lefties all supporting China now because their entire identity is “fuck Orange Man.” Left knows China is a threat and been wanting to cut them off for decades. Biden increased Trump’s tariffs.
All companies are doing it.
Hasbro... Hasbro has been trying to delay their shipments until nitwit changes his mind. But Chirs Cocks is a fucking idiot who will end up saying fuck customers cuz hes a greedy POS.
Mondo/Funko...
they're trying to roll back Child Labor protections. So of course the poor kids will be making the rich kids toys. These maga idiots are so gross.
Okay well enjoy noone buying your products
What trade deals? You have to WANT something in order to buy from the USA.
We don't make anything except Money and intellectual tech. Boomers didn't want to train anyone in their skills so everyone went to college instead.
We have no idea idea what deals are being made right now. Face media and dems are losing their shit tells me they are very scared shit is going to swing in Trump’s favor and desperately want to pressure him to stop doing it. If they actually thought he was going to tank the economy they would let him do it and guarantee Dems winning midterms by a landslide even with their record low approval. Dems and media are not about helping Trump. They would gladly allow Trump to crash economy even at cost of
people losing their jobs and money just to take Trump out
There is no trade deals. He's just grifting the stock market
Oh no. Parents won't be filling as many landfills with unnecessary, plastic crap their kids got tired of.
You’re a stupid shill scared Trump has a good chance of getting deals in US’s favor. This time next year we will know if he did or didn’t. If he didn’t, we will know. Same way we knew inflation was skyrocketing even when Biden and media tried to gaslight the public that there was no inflation
to sink the chink
china has too much Mattel toy slop, can't send it to the USA, it sits in the chinese warehouse, production is stopped, gooks get laid off, gooks starve, gooks protest government, Mattel moves production to Vietnam, china factory is closed.
Someone else comes and takes their place.
What's the point of tariffs if manufacturing won't come back?
makes you stop buying stupid shit
how do you even pronounce this
who the fuck buys new toys. go to thrift stores and flea markets they are practically giving them away
It's already coming back, idiot. Nobody fucking cares about toy factories. They make shit for pennies on the dollar and sell nowhere near as much, as they used to, before video games.
its going to be robots anyway
so it makes more sense to build here with robots
Other countries flood the wide-open US market with cheap crap while tariffing the shit out of American products to keep US goods out of their markets. Counter tariffs are an attempt to force other countries to lower their tariffs and level the playing feild.
That’s why you have to play hardball and simply make it illegal to sell most products in the US unless they were manufactured here.
The entire point is to give manufacturers no other option, so that pay will increase. We should also pass laws forcing the shareholders of the company to eat the profit loss instead of passing the increased cost off to the consumer.
Trump just likes tariffs, and doesn't understand the economics of them. It turns out that everything you liked about Trump 1's economy was the result of Trump getting tard wrangled by the GOP establishment. Apologize to Mitt Romney and Mitch McConnell.
There is no point to Tarriffs. The jobs that China and India currently do(plastic bullshit) were never in the United States. The biggest reason for the decline in manufacturing was automation. We have an unemployment rate of 4%, we need cheaper good and cheaper housing. We don't need more fucking jobs doing nothing because of economic illiterates.
There's your real red pill bros.
What's the point of tariffs if manufacturing won't come back?
QUIT. BUYING. SHIT. YOU. DONT. NEED.
There are no deals, and there's no reason to expect them when everyone knows the US position becomes weaker over time, so just chill now, and force the worst deals for Americans down their throat in Q3. Even if the rest of the world wanted to negotiate in good faith, these things usually take a year or two.
Consumption is the American dream
Niggers will just steal these dolls. Little girls don't want nigger barbie anyway.
My late uncle was a noteworthy CEO including of a Mattel subsidiary. During a board meeting the Mattel Chairman, Carl Bernstein, asked how to improve sales. My uncle told the room the only way could improve was to boost quality and fire Bernstein. He was non-emotional, and stating the facts.
Uncle got rolled out the door with a golden parachute and went on to prosper. Mattel lost enormous money on the subsidiary before selling it off for a pittance. The acquirer profitted handsomely once it improved product according to my uncle's plans.
Mattel and its subs were jews almost all the way down. The jews stuck with their fellow jew even though the smart ones knew my uncle was correct.
These guys only care about being right as they see it. They can always obtain more money if they want it. Disgusting lot.
No, they are punishing China for not worshiping the jews lol
I'm really sick of Rust Belt narcissists acting like they have the only magic dirt to make things. Fuck them, if they weren't fucking losers and incompetent, they would have followed business to the Sunbelt.
Still better than Haitians, however.
When people stop buying things en masse, that's a recession. When they stop buying things for an extended period of time, that called "getting poorer".
ceo ynon kreiz
The fuck kinda name is that?
Hot wheels have been made in other countries since what, the 70s?
What's the point of tariffs if manufacturing won't come back?
We will buy less toys, which will send less money to china
You will own nothing and be happy.
The point of tariffs is to protect certain private economic interests.
Nice Kremlinology
That's weird I have a relative who works in a plastic manufacturing company in the US, how can this be possible?
Nice Kremlinology
he isn't wrong, kike
Let's take something apples to apples. Why is Toyota the most popular car manufacturer and not Ford? The harsh truth is that American stuff just isn't that good. As we've seen over the decades, America just isn't that interested in making it particularly better either.
Mattel sells overpriced plastic crap you don't need.
The MAGA Maoists are at it again.
Manufacturing will come back. Trump doesn't care about toys and other trash. He cares about other countries doing currency manipulation, and he cares about manufacturing of vital things like materials, chemicals, silicon, technologies used in medicine and war, and agriculture.
Nobody in Trump's cabinet cares about Mattel's issues, Mattel doesn't make anything valuable. They make toys and other completely useless shit.
Trump’s team is delusional
Shows you which companies are Edomite owned.
same reason why tiktok makes them kvetch so hard
force a law to make shareholders make less money
lol
Mattel's about to fuck around and find out.
snuff out the smaller companies that rely on tight margins and imports from for resources
see?? see????? I TOLD you tariffs are useless!
It's really clear that corporate America and consumers aren't happy with tariffs, but are they improving the quality of shipments? I can't stand the low quality/ruined state of things in stores and shipped from online retailers any longer. It's been years.
So toy makers they do make their toys here will be competitive?
Would you look at that?

This faggot thinks his company means something to the world.
Born and raised in Bootheel, Missouri. I’m a third-generation diesel tech. Drive a Duramax with Punisher decals and a tailgate mural of Jesus body-slamming Karl Marx. Voted Trump like it was a baptism.
So I don’t know what possessed me to order that RGB LED anime mousepad with built-in wrist rest and looping GIF of Hatsune Miku winkin’. Looked slick. Said it’d “elevate my battlestation.”
Base price: $26.99
Tariff punch: $74.60 for “foreign synthetic novelty textile duty” under some clause I literally celebrated on Facebook in 2018.
Unplugged it right after checkin’ my bank account and seein’ what a dozen eggs cost. $6.82. For eggs. In Missouri. I ate ramen and cried into my RGB shame mat.
It was never to bring toy manufacturing, textile mills, shoe facilities back. It's to bring back real manufacturing like steel, autos, semiconductors, computer chips, etc.
No one wants to work in a shit factory piecing together shoes. That's literal manual slave labor type shit. The tariffs would have to be 500% before Mattel would ever consider bringing that shit back to the US.
They realized long ago that if things are too well made and repairable that you won't be forced to buy again. Why would a corporation that has shareholders demanding "line go up" ever sell you something that you'll only buy once?
for cheap shit like plastic toys or textiles it's about sourcing them from a different country because china is an adversary
for more expensive stuff, yes, ideally we'd start ramping up domestic manufacturing
maybe if i shove my head up david pakman's ass and never actually learn anything i can get away with being a ignorant fucking retard :^)
You're a dumb ass, stop posting and kill yourself.
Mattel does not exist anymore. It's the Schezuan manufacturing company who bought the IP of as many reputable, staid 20th century AMERICAN companies as they could. That's why the ersatz quality of the junk produced in China is uniformly cheap chitzy crap. On Monday, in one division, they make Cuisinart branded kitchen products, on Tuesday they make Ninja branded kitchen products, on Wednesday they make Martha Stewart branded kitchen products. With all the proper branding, coloring, fonts... but it's ALL the same crap. Designed to fail and to be sold on Amazon or Wal-Mart or Target. On the corner of Conspicuous Consumer Ave and Planned Obsolescence Blvd.
Rather funny when you think about it. This man is basically saying he wants to lose customers to domestic toy makers. Bad business!
this will bring back real manufacturing!!!
why would anyone want shitty american made products, they can't even make good cars anymore
nothing was stopping them from improving the quality of their shit for all these years
Mattel makes Hot Wheels in fucking Malaysia. Greedy faggots bumping up prices and blaming it tariffs.

There are no deals,
There are no deals,
how are retail or fast food jobs any different? shut the fuck up retard
Totally fine having a trade war. US could win with anyone. American people are a bunch of pussies who demand immediate results. But I’m cool with things getting ugly to get better deals for US. Tired of us always getting fucked over by faggot countries that hate us anyways
No one wants Mattel, or Nike, or any of the clothing shit back. Labor cost would be too high on shit margins.
But jobs making real products pay much better. I work for a steel manufacturer that pays $30 an hour in a state where that's 3x the average pay for those shitty jobs you're talking about.
I know you're scared to have to work again Laquan, but it'll be alright.
Humans have literally been buying/collecting shit they don't need just because they like it since day one of their existence. They've been doing it even before consumerism was a proper system, it's just in our nature, and there's nothing really wrong with it as long as it doesn't go too far.
Ahhh...so, you a-rike da Chinee toy. You a good Amelickin...a-go bress you
Before money it’s how you traded for shit. We like to think we’re most sophisticated now but we aren’t. Money is just paper. Gold is just a rock and so are diamonds. Paintings and art is only as viable as people think it is
