Massive blow to Trump as Japanese car giant moves manufacturing OUT of US in tariff twist (1 Viewer)

[Ikari]

So Trump's Global Trade War isn't bringing jobs back? He....he took our jobs?

 

[CaughtInThe]

That's the difficult part - having to try and re-assure customers about pricing and supply not knowing what is going to happen since Trump has no idea what he is doing except when he decides to randomly tariff countries that are only inhabited by penguins.

I've already ordered a price increase for our labor. Now, most of our clients are under contract but when those contracts renew I'm jacking them up too.

You have to.
Hopefully those contracts end soon or else you'll be losing money with how expensive things are.

We have client contracts that expire every month. Lots of them.

I stopped reading right there at the highlight.

I posted a link showing some facts that were left out of thread op.

Yeah, and I responded with additional facts.

MAGA not listening to facts they don’t like is sort of a problem.

A friend of mine owns a small sporting goods store. Sometimes when they are jammed up they ask me to man the front desk and help customers.
On two occasions I have taken messages from vendors that if the store has any orders they need processed, to get the orders turned in within 10 days. If done by then they will honor the catalog price, anything after that will likely see an increase.

You said

"Your "argument" appears to be that the lost Outback production will be replaced with Forester hybrid production."

No it isn't therefore not a fact.

No it isn't therefore not a fact.

Reading is fundamental.

Your argument “appears to be.” Because your link states exactly that: Subaru will be shifting to hybrid Foresters from ICE Outbacks at the US facility.

If that’s not your argument or the reason for inserting additional facts, what is it then?

 

[Gordy327]

So...according to the article, this move isn't because of Trump's tariffs, but because of the counter-attack by Canada.

It would have been better for everyone if Canada had just complied with Trump's requests about drugs and illegal aliens.

Why should they? Tariffs are causing far more problems, especially for the average person.

 

[Gordy327]

No. Unlike the Canadians, Trump is actually doing something.

Yeah, he's screwing everything up.

And, as long as the Canadians don't do something, then the blame for things like Subaru trying to avoid Canada's retaliation remains with them...not with Trump.

What's Canada doing?

Wrong.

The root cause is Canada's lack of cooperation regarding drugs and illegal aliens.

Trump's retaliation seems to be backfiring on all of us. Talk about petty shortsightedness.

 

[Mycroft]

Why should they? Tariffs are causing far more problems, especially for the average person.

The tariffs aren't causing the problems. Canada's reaction is causing the problems.

 

[Gordy327]

The tariffs aren't causing the problems. Canada's reaction is causing the problems.

Canada's reaction to tariffs is justified. Why should they bow down and concede?

It's been pointed out by others more then once.

You don't accept it.

 

[Mycroft]

Canada's reaction to tariffs is justified. Why should they bow down and concede?

Canada is free to feel that way, but they will certainly have to deal with the consequences.

Consequences works both ways.
