Where are you going to buy microprocessors?

Taiwan, where we are still getting them. The tariffs will not affect Taiwan.

 

[MAGAnificent]

Tell that to our soybean farmers. I am sure it will be a great comfort to them.

I'll do that.

Well, one miraculous policy change would be to stop supplying the Mexican Cartels with the means to produce fentynal and smuggle it into the US.

Yep, that change would certainly be miraculous, but would do nothing to help encourage US production of other products, materials and parts now being imported from China - the basic goal (intent?) of Trump’s tariff plan.

Taiwan, where we are still getting them. The tariffs will not affect Taiwan.

Hmm… you assume that (bolded above) based on what?

Taiwanese companies have invested billions of dollars in China over the past four decades, taking advantage of historically lower costs, but Taiwan's government, wary of stepped up pressure from Beijing to accept Chinese sovereignty claims, has been encouraging its firms to move investment elsewhere.
Speaking in parliament, Kuo said the impact of any Trump tariffs on China for Taiwanese firms manufacturing there would be "quite large".

You think Trump will keep china from taking Taiwan?

There is absolutely no evidence that China "allowed" the COVID-19 virus to spread.

The evidence is the fact it did spread. You mean there is no evidence China tried to stop the spread. There is evidence that China covered up how and why it spread until it was too late to prove anything. .

Indeed, if only we could travel back in time then we wouldn't have things like that happening and, of course, Mr Trump does have that ability so he is going to do exactly that.

There is no need for time travel. Had China worked with WHO to initially stop the spread it may have been successful. A good effort at least would have shown China tried.

The vaccine was developed in Germany, by German scientists, working for a German company, that was being funded by the German government. Mr Trump had diddly-squat with "getting the vaccine as soon as possible".

Evidently you have no clue about Operation Warp Speed.

Not a dime of that money went to the company that actually developed the vaccine.

Again read up and learn. Pfizer did take money from OWS

So, Operation Warp Speed didn't actually do anything to produce the vaccine - right?

Again read up and learn. OWS was 1 of many programs world wide providing money for the development of vaccines, clearing of red tape, streamlining the testing process, and to purchase vaccines.

Not a dime of the "purchased in advance of development" money went to the company that actually produced the vaccine and not a dime of the "purchased in advance of development" money that companies that didn't develop a vaccine was returned to the US government.
Since Mr Trump didn't actually have anything to do with the development of the vaccine, your reliance on mythology is quite understandable.

Again read up and learn. Pfizer did take money from OWS.

In July, Pfizer got a $1.95 billion deal with the government’s Operation Warp Speed, the multiagency effort to rush a vaccine to market, to deliver 100 million doses of the vaccine. The arrangement is an advance-purchase agreement, meaning that the company won’t get paid until they deliver the vaccines. Pfizer did not accept federal funding to help develop or manufacture the vaccine, unlike front-runners Moderna and AstraZeneca.

Pfizer did take the money. Yes the were very upset that Trump made money available to their competitors. Pfizer was more concerned about how much money they were going to make rather than helping the people all over the world dying. SAD

Two words "soft" and "wood".

Go look it up.

Another word "steel" - go and look it up.

Another word "aluminum" - go and look that one up as well.

How many decades are we going into the past with these?

 

[Gatsby]

Not hard. Ever been in the retail industry and worked with buyers?

I have a feeling that the people who just elected Republicans because they were mad about inflation are not going to appreciate another major price increase on their grocery bill (and most other bills), especially when it's a totally optional, unforced error. But I guess we will find out soon enough.

Well Rubbermaid management made a basic, but terrible mistake. One of the first things taught in business schools is not to become dependent upon one company for you survival. were they relatives of you?

Yep, that's what is taught NOW - using Rubbermaid as an example.

It's also why many Canadians would like to see the Canadian economy just a wee tad less dependent on the United States of America.

Fortunately for those Canadians, Mr Trump has announced that he will be taking concrete steps to help ensure that that happens.

Actually, Canada still charges more one US goods imported into Canada. The variance is about half. Curiously when approached Biden left them in place.

If you had ever given any indication that you might actually have some vague understanding/knowledge of what you are posting, I might even consider that post to be slightly less laughable than it actually is.

LOL, so you are the smartest person in the room? Cool. Good thing there are no other people in there with you.

Nope, just smarter and more informed than you are.

More worthless and random stuff.

As are the majority of your posts.

I thought Trump said he was going to tarrif everyone?

Not exactly or consistently.

Is Taiwan not part of everyone?

What Taiwan is part of depends on whether (or not) one believes the US has a “one China” policy.

TrumpSpeak is often hard to comprehend and changes frequently.

While campaigning for a second term in office, President-elect Donald Trump declared “tariff” to be his “favorite word” and “the most beautiful word in the dictionary.” He regularly said he would use tariffs to raise federal revenue and increase jobs and manufacturing in the United States.

For example, at an August campaign rally, Trump suggested broadly placing tariffs on imports from overseas, saying, “We’re going to have 10 to 20% tariffs on foreign countries that have been ripping us off for years.”

About a year before that, during a Fox Business interview, Trump said: “I do like the 10% [tariff] for everybody. The problem with the 10% is that some countries are much bigger abusers than others.”

Trump's Agenda: Tariffs - FactCheck.org

While campaigning for a second term in office, President-elect Donald Trump declared "tariff" to be his "favorite word" and "the most beautiful word in the dictionary." We'll explain how tariffs work, what Trump has proposed and what experts say about it, and what happened during Trump's first term.

You seem to assume that the government of China will make some miraculous changes in their policy to get the tariffs to “go away”, yet provided no evidence to back that up. There’s a reason that tariffs currently exist on some Chinese imports.

A not especially inapt analogy would be that the Chinese people have thousands of years of a history where the reaction to not having enough rice in the pot is to put less rice in the bowl while the American people have a lot of recent history of whingeing because they only have a choice of five types of pie for breakfast.

The fact that the Chinese government has had lots of practice "uniting the people" and getting them engaged in "the great struggle" while the American government has had lots of practice "dividing the people" and getting them engaged in "blaming the other guy" also is quite likely to play a significant part in how Mr Trump's "Make America Grossly Abhored" campaign plays out.

But it will all be Biden's fault for not winning the election.

Didn't you hear? Mr Trump just admitted Taiwan to the US as its 51st state. However, to keep international balance, he gave Puerto Rico to China.

How many decades are we going into the past with these?

Approximately 0.1 decades for the latest - which is still ongoing.

But, then again, FOX NeuZ doesn't cover it much so I can quite understand why you wouldn't know what you are supposed to think about it.

 

[TU Curmudgeon]

I see, and that also means that the United States of America "allowed" COVID-19 to spread "because it did spread".

You mean there is no evidence China tried to stop the spread. There is evidence that China covered up how and why it spread until it was too late to prove anything. .

You are talking about AFTER the vaccine was developed. You might want to start reconnecting with reality HERE.

As president elect, he is only mentioning Mexico, China, and Canada so far. Let's wait and see, shall we?

Walmart just leveled with Americans: China won’t be paying for Trump’s tariffs, in all likelihood you will | Fortune

Trump promised voters tariffs are a panacea for the economy, but Walmart finance chief John David Rainey warned they will be inflationary for customers.

fortune.com

Prices on most items will be higher under Trump. Importers/retailers aren't going to suffer tariff tax losses, they will be passed onto American consumers.

You were warned.

Or, you can buy the better quality American made alternative. Don’t be stingy, support American manufactured workers.

Clearly you don't understand pandemics. Once they spread to a certain point stopping the spread becomes impossible. By the time China notified the world of the pandemic it was already too late.

You are talking about AFTER the vaccine was developed. You might want to start reconnecting with reality HERE.

OWS was put in place before any vaccine was available. Even when OWS purchased the vaccine it still was not available. The democrats made fun of Trump for purchasing vaccines before they were ready. Trump did this with the realization that if the first vaccine was unsuccessful we would have multiple companies already underway producing different vaccines rather than starting over. It was a monumental success. Thankfully the Pfizer vaccine worked and the American people were first in line thanks to the purchasing of the vaccine in advance by OWS. Of course Pfizer could not produce enough vaccines as fast as they were needed. People all over the world were dying. Luckily Moderna and other manufactures also cooperating with OWS had their delivery of vaccines within weeks after Pfizer. Again advanced purchases by OWS made sure the American people were first in line. I know because I was in that line. I hope I have cleared this up for you.
