MAGA dumb fucks can’t explain this

go make me some new jeans, shoes and a fucking toaster

and be quick about it MAGAtard,

haha
just joking, you wont do shit.

kek, even Anon Babble's migatards have no answer.

Walmart and other foreign retailers make 30-50% margins on Chinese stuff, they definitely can eat the tariffs. They just don't want to because profit always has to go up for shareholders.

And they're all in bed together so instead of competing and dragging prices down, they can just agree to pass the cost down to consumers and protect their high margins.

I do shit you wouldnt understand with a year of training

Duh maga don't work

You stupid fucking office nigger we are no longer concerned about your work from home status, I'm building garages and paper dispensers

Trump said China (the exporter) pays the tariff, so why is he now asking Walmart (the importer) to “eat the tariff”?
As usual, Trump lied, the importer always pays the tariff, and then prices increase for consumers.

Just laughing at the obvious consequences of dumb policy

China will have to raise prices, dummy. We are taking part of their profit.

They don't really care. They just want illusions and fantasies and that's what Trump represents.

Can't wait for Trump to show his good goys some UFO (sorry, UAP pictures, grifters had to rebrand) pictures and ask them to donate to his PayPal because the disclosure is imminent.

Curious how the mass arrests of deep state agents never materialised.

Unless the importer says fuck you and we stop buying Chinese bullshit you dumb fucking retard

What will we do without China?

What the fuck are we relying on an enemy that is actively engaging in 5th gen war with us??
Fentanyl is from China
Covid is from China
All of the poison in our bodies is from China
Cheap plastic bullshit nobody needs

Muh 5$ Tshirt

Nigger not a single thing we get from China could not be done without for 20 years

You are entirely dependent on your "enemy".

Why would china RAISE prices?

No I'm fucking not, people are apparently terrified in what happens to America without consumerism, I don't need a fucking thing from China

But China is paying for this, it's obvious from all economic indicators and which is why they have their panties in a bunch and scrambling to negotiate better trade agreements. In fact, it's why you're paid for shilling here. You should be happy that Xi pays you for home office and you no longer have to harvest gutter oil in sewers herr Chang.

because they pay tariffs
Chinks probably do DDP(Delivered Duty Paid) terms of delivery. Walmart is not stupid.

Read a factual book on how advanced economies and supply chains work, you brainless illiterate dipshits.

China doesn't pay anything. They might lower prices to be more competitive but raising them makes no sense at all

So then what are we worrying about?

China probably do DDP

lol absolutely fucking not. Its either fob or exw

The price YOU pay goes up. China sells Walmart some plastic crap for $5. Walmart gives $5 to China and $1.50 to the US government, that's the 30% tariff. They then raise the price they sell the plastic crap in store by $1.50 so that their profit margin doesn't change

China is hurt because it makes their good less competitive, america is hurt because it makes goods on the market more expensive by artificially raising the price of cheaper options

How much of the chinese junk an average family buys? Impact per year? $100 on the high end?

The one eating the tariffs will be the american customers. Walmart will increase prices on all products, be it from China or from other countries/USA

chink product gets a 150% tariff

walmart increases the price of chink products by 100% to cushion the price impact

walmart increases the price of non chink products by 50% to compensate and balance their accounting

You get the idea

China exports shitloads of parts, tools and intermediate components as well as finished goods so it even American made stuff gets more expensive. Also food

If the big tariffs come back it's about $4000 per family in extra costs. If the smaller ones stay on it will be much less obviously,maybe a few hundred

Most of MAGA actually wants socialism they just absolutely abhore most of the people who pretend to be socialist so much they would rather destroy the ideology

Socialism itself doesn't seem bad until you reach the Marxist Social Justice part that later causes civilization to implode from within. Socialists are seriously rotten assholes who pretend to know everything while being infallible authoritarians and they wonder why others don't like them, they are socialist but yet don't know how to socialize especially with others with different views which is pretty fucking ironic

Full circle

won't they get sued for this? for promoting chinese shit?

Sorry that $4000 is estimated impact of ALL of the tariffs not just the ones on china

sure I can. you are a stupid nigger

explained

stuff with chinese ingredients is not american. great time to get rid of this nonsense

What would they be sued for? Companies are allowed to set their prices however they like

Prices increase.for kikes, who then decide to offset those costs by charging consumers.

Sure you can try, but it still ends up much more expensive. And that's assuming you even find the labor to make all this shit you can't even fill the manufacturing jobs available now let alone the millions more needed to replace the 3 trillion worth of shit you import every year

They pay tariffs on the wholesale value but pretend they are paying the retail value and just blaming everything on Trump so they can increase profits.

I agree with the sentiment to bring back the most basics of industry and stop the reliance on China but shit doesn't happen overnight or in 4 years. Look at the long game China played with the decoupling your majority of population didn't even realise they were that far off until they call on your 140% bluff. Some retards on here even claim they can STARVE china to death, literally 0 understanding on what actually goes in and out of the US to and from China.

???
What do you mean by promoting chinese shit? Chinese brands are sold in your country all the time, especially electronic products. Walmart's entire issue is that their profits are derived from selling in bulk quantities, however the net profits they get from those items are razor thin. So the extra tariffs (slightly) force them in the red if they don't raise the price of said products, compound that with Walmart being the biggest private employer in the country who pays their employees barely over minimum wage with their main customers being on mostly low income and you've got a powder keg primed to blow up in everyone's faces.

are you guys really demanding Walmart pay TAXES

YES.
I'm a *burp* liber*pffff*al. Guys you should listen to....*brrrrpppffffffgapapapapapapspspa* ugh...listen to me.

they are subsidizing chinese shit with American products. American manufactures could be selling more.

Ok? Buying foreign goods isn't a crime. If it was you wouldn't need tariffs

Same way the woke left uses mental gymnastics to say that men can be women.
Same way the woke right uses mental gymnastics to say that tariffs are paid by the exporter.
They both are in a retard cult.

Trump is a libtard. He deliberately implements right wing / nationalist policies in the worst manner so they get blocked and hated by the public. The only thing his regime cares about is best serving the needs of pissrahell.

This is anti-competitive. They can not do this shit.

miga dumb fucks can't explain how poop comes out of their butthole

liberals will do anything for their corporate masters. As if, walmart, a billion dollar company is incapable of changing their vertical chain to use local industry for their products to maintain high profit margins. They are doing this because they think eating the tarrifs for four years and not swapping their vertical chain will be more of an investment.

This whinging is all because liberal corpo-cock suckers do not want corpos spending billions so they can maintain the same profits.

Walmart has a profit margin of 2.85%, they can't realistically eat the tariffs without raising prices on every product, be it chink or american manufactured
If you increase the operating expenses for a company, that company will raise the price of their goods and services

higher rent

Raise prices

higher energy cost

Raise prices

higher minimum wage

Raise prices

higher corporate/property taxes

Raise prices

Yes, that's how economics works, the cost of labor, manufacturing and duties are baked into the price of goods. Broke ass uneducated retard.

What is the purpose of the tariffs if they ultimately are only a financial burden on Americans? They cause significant market disruptions and damage relationships with allies, resulting in an overall negative impact. Congress must do something before irreversible damage is done by this foolish retardation.

Most of MAGA actually wants socialism they just absolutely abhore

open borders

ftfy

You dumb nigger , don’t you know how tariffs work.
Besides Walmart is a globalist company that abuses its workers and destroys small businesses where ever they open a store. I would love to see them go belly up.

just eat an $8 tariff on $10 USB cable with a $2 profit margin

oh, you know math?????????????? you understand business??????????? you have an three digit IQ??????????????? Your skin is white? Your hair is blonde? Your eyes are blue? THIS MEANS YOU'RE A CORPORATE SLAVE

Stay poor, ugly faggot.
Your wife is fat.

Most of MAGA actually wants socialism

The nationalist kind

Makes you think.

So higher prices for something I wasnt going to buy anyways? The Humanitaaa!

You don't have to use drugs, which lowrs your risk of being fented significantly, to zero. China is doing the US a great service by yeeting all the druggies
Covid research literally funded by the US
Your poison is from kikes, you didn't have to buy them
You're bitching about Chyna on a China made device miganigger.

I would love to see 2 million americans go unemployed, prices for everything double or triple while salaries tank

Why? To own the libs ofc

It opens markets we can’t compete in because our product are so much higher due to foreign tariffs , and it brings manufacturing back to the US.
All trumps tariffs are reciprocal.

the entire economy is fucked? oh it doesn't affect me.

OMG HOW DID JOE BIDEN GET 85 MILLION VOTES?

brings manufacturing back to the US

Manufacturing nowadays is not just rent a building and start manufacturing

No American is willing to manufacture inexpensive plastic for minimum wage, and no company wants to pay minimum wage for such labor. Eventually, this dynamic will lead businesses to cease their operations in America altogether. Simply reallocate their capital to invest in a stable region of the world.

Tariffs literally hurt small businesses unable to change supply chains as easily as Walmart way more.

Larger companies have resources to change entire supply chains, such as sourcing from difference countries, front loading imports, parking at free trade zones or even simply diverty or delaying ships completely.

Maga too dumb to realize manufacturing today has changed with Steps being completely globalized to take advantage of cost saving from comparative advantage and economies of scale

Walmart is one of the most destructive and evil businesses models ever devised any where in the world.
It’s a net loss to everyone except Walmart.
75% of their products are made over seas , taking jobs from the US. Walmart employees are paid so low ( no unions are allowed ) that most need to and encouraged to apply for state and federal welfare ( brochures from the state and federal welfare agencies are handed out to employees ). Local food bank and church charity addresses are also available in the break rooms. This makes local state and federal government subsidize their own workers. Walmart builds new stores, brings in the lowest prices possible, destroys small local businesses, then raises prices once they have closed. They manipulate work schedules to skirt state laws for over time. You brain dead leftist are all corporate lackeys.

Trade deficits are not tariff rates.

Buy an ad
Why anyone here would care what "Alex Cole" has to say? I don't, and I don't want to see shit like this ever

Blah blah blah
No American is willing to..
this is a repeated false narrative of the Marxist left to excuse either moving all the work over seas or flood the country with illegals. There are millions of Americans looking for jobs at all levels.

I only see prices going down on things so not sure what is going on but it's working.

That USB cable costs maybe 20 cents to make. Any tarrif price increase is all political theater. They unironically could eat the costs and be fine.

Ty jsi asi Rus nebo Ukrajinec.
Proč jinak by ti měl vadit Trump?

So we changed the whole system to move manufacturing over seas to benefit the rich and gut the US working class , but any that gives Americans new jobs / work is too much trouble ?
You fucking Jew shill.

doesn't make any fucking sense, fucking retard and Elon Musk

The answer to your problem isn't to raise tariffs (consumption tax), it is to end welfare and subsidies.

this
It's probably Elon Musk or that filipino nigger

I don't know what a tariff is

It all needs to be done.
Again trumps tariffs are reciprocal
You need to look up the definition of that word.

Shitty minimum wage jobs nobody wants as tariffs drive up the prices of goods and services. That's IF the companies don't just cash out. Unsustainable.

Apple alone has trained over 28 million Chinese workers (larger than the labor force of California) since 2008.
Apple has been investing about $55 BILLION a year into China for decades – including machinery and training.
The vocational school in China is Apple.

prices of goods

What type of "goods" do you really need?
Can you buy used (like a car)?
A new dishwasher, fridge, stove? Why?

libs are defending Walmart

ya hate to see it

American made denim was so high quality, people pay big bucks for vintage jeans.
If you want new jeans that aren't garbage, you shell out big bucks for Japanese ones.
And yes, even in Japan they import vintage American jeans.

Businesses moved manufacturing overseas because of shit tonnes of reasons like high cost of regulatory compliance, labor laws, pollution laws, etc. Raising prices 500% also benefit the rich but that doesn't fly with their customers who are also Americans.

Sure offshoring benefitted the "rich" who happened to own these businesses, but it also lowered the cost of goods for vast majority of Americans who are consumers who are also beneficiaries. Bellyachin about "the rich" and the "working class" are for retards who can't adapt into modern goods production that relies on economies of scale, specialization, and comparative advantage.

The people who got rich also did so by lowering the cost while enlarging the size of your big screen tvs.and the American consumer voluntarily choose to make them rich.

Nobody wants those jobs, I fucking hear people claims about their factory jobs every fucking day. Americans rather sit in an office earn paychecks and retire with fat 401ks, not in a factory doing paint the 1 widget for 5000000 times a day.

walmart made 14 billion dollars in profit last year, i think they will be okay

Be okay? BE OKAY!? I THINK YOU NEED TO COME WITH ME ANON SO YOU CAN SEE THE REAL WORLD HARM EVER SO SLIGHTLY REDUCING WALMARTS PROFITS WILL HAVE

I'm not sure what your point was. All I got is 55 billion investment is still cheaper than doing the same in the US after Apple did the maths I guess.. Chinese willing to work for 12 hours 7 days a week is their advantage, welcome to competition, this is the reality of things.

Americans live a very sheltered existence where there were no industrialized manufacturing in the world after ww2 to compete with. This is no longer that past.

Prices keep going up. Keep coping, though.

All of the poison in our bodies is from China

Didn't the US remove regulation on PFAS in drinking water like a month ago?

Watching trump destroy the United States is actually kind of great. I think the democrats are just mad they didn’t think of half the stuff he’s doing. It’s quite marvelous.

thinks MAGA is a person

thinks "China" pays tariffs

doesn't know walmart makes the shit in china

/thread

I'm not sure they want to destroy it, they're there to grift for money from the machine while playing identity politics, feeling superior, not fucking with the actual wheels and cogs of the economy like trump.

random nigger on twatter says

So weird watching leftists defend mega corporate monopolies now.

I literally manufactured inexpensive plastic and got better than minimum wage in a factory. It wasn't that bad. It's all about what you can get paid.
Only terminally online lefty cult weaklings try to sell this leftist bs that Americans don't want to work.

I guess having them transition and getting on OF is the only other thing a Canadacuck like you has to offer them.

How do you think the stock market will like that? And do you think the companies won't decide to cut people's jobs as a result??

Americans rather sit in an office earn paychecks and retire with fat 401ks, not in a factory doing paint the 1 widget for 5000000 times a day.

I've done both, but marxists think they'll cut the line because reddit told them they were smart. That's never how it really works unless you're in on something corrupt. Nothing is for free in this world, even onlyfans whoring has a cost to all of us.

Bellyaching about industrialization: "it's already gone bro, just roll over for the Chinese Century"
It can be brought back, and should be. And your red tape arguments are just making Trump admin look better as they're about reducing those as well.

Just more leftist doomsaying, noise in the wind.

are leftists defending multibillion dollar corps

wHaT aBoUt the sToNkS

lmao

I own stocks, they'll be fine.

Seriously, what is it about the previous status quo that you loved so much? Why are you willing to die on these hills, that are completely anathema to every anti-corporate value you espoused before as a leftist? Is it really about Trump that much? Do you think the policy of infinite illegals and infinite offshoring was that great?

Do you really think companies don't pass the expenses on to the customers?

Drumpftards literally believe that everything on Earth can be made cost-effectively in America. They want Americans pounding sheet metal and sewing t-shirts instead of building software and rocketships.

Actually I want leftists put in prison doing it for state profit like El Salvador does when they have people burning down cities or shooting up embassies type of crimes

youtube.com/watch?v=OrK9nVLAqwk

Freed of the burden of leftists, America can then get back to building software and rocketships, like Elon does.

China pays tariffs to import goods into USA

Walshart has gook dick in their ass, so they also gotta pay.

Wow, that wasn't very fucking hard.

It's feasible for every living breathing american to work for NASA

Do you even fucking hear yourself?

Leftism isn't even fucking real. These malfeasant dumb fuckers went from occupying wall street to defending billion dollar companies. They went from the KKK to no nigger left behind. These liquid brain faggots change beliefs more than a rich girl changes clothes. I don't recognize them as a legitimate political faction when they're whims change with the fucking position of the stars and planets.

Of course the US consumer is going to pay the tariff. Is this really the fight you want to be having?

Former Trump supporter and Ozark Mountain boy here. Last week I got it in my head I needed them Yeezy Season 10 Women’s Slingback Heels in Bone, size 13—don’t ask me why. Just saw ‘em on my cousin’s OnlyFans and said hell, maybe I deserve nice things too.

Found ‘em online through a Korean fashion plug. Total cost after “emergency protection tariffs” and “counterfeit mitigation surcharges”? $1,022.43.

I felt like I’d been mugged by Ronald Reagan’s ghost.

Wasn’t even mad at Kim. I was mad at myself. Sat there in my truck with the heels in my lap, starin’ at my “Trump 2024: Finish the Fight” bumper sticker and whispered:

You were the fight.

Yes.

They will eat it just like Home Depot faggot. People can’t afford prices as they are and sales are way down, they’re not raising shit

Seeing as America's employment rate is a healthy sub-5% there are obviously many thousands more high value-adding jobs down the list from that extreme example, before you get to the shitty factory jobs that can be done to pretty much the same standard by a Bangladeshi mother of 4 paid a dollar a day. Drumpftards really want to do these jobs themselves for some reason.

nobody voted for this retardation.

the importing party pays the tariffs, retard.
aka you.
