12k a year - gets really depressing when you realize how many years it takes to buy a house, and in America how many years a small medical event costs you.

Go on Trump, walk down to Panama, pick it up and bring it

politics @lemmy.world•Walmart just leveled with Americans: China won’t be paying for Trump’s tariffs, in all likelihood you will
2·2 years agoIt could drive up domestic production, however there us a good reason we import, which is similar to your last point.
Bad example, but its the same reason you “import” Mexican workers - their skills and work ethic, along with willingness to work long hours for low wages. You aren’t going to get hundreds of thousands of Americans to decide to work in a sweat shop, or on farms, or doing handyman work for the same wages.
I was going to mention the low cost of a life in China, and the lax H&S, ethic and environmental regulations, but America is trending that way too.

181·2 years agoNo, the first page is how it introduces inefficiencies into a supply/demand equilibrium, resulting in a lower quantity supplied and at a higher price.
No one who every studies economics, even in passing, would even consider another country paying a tarrif for something you buy. The concept is just… what?

politics @lemmy.world•As Trump assembles dictatorial regime, Biden offers “smoothest” transition
143·2 years agoAs much as I hate this its correct.
With lying, external influence, racism, terrorism and general crime he was just democratically elected. Supporting democracy means that it has to be followed.
It’s wrong, its a bad move, but its democracy.

politics @lemmy.world•Food prices worried most voters, but Trump's plans likely won't lower their grocery bills
2·2 years agoYes, you are correct but I disagree on few technicalities that make a difference.
-
products do have substitutes, but you are talking comming down from a global market. Calories are there, but we don’t eat based on calories. You can’t substitute soybeans for tomatoes, potatoes for corn, or many others i don’t have examples for.
-
when the US starts putting in tarrifs for import, other nation states will likely do the same. Your exports of unwanted goods will no longer be competitive in the global market, leading to an excess of unwanted, cheap food and shortage of wanted, expensive food.

91·2 years agoLet me put it there for those idiots.
Tarrifs on food imports would be great for US farmers because they no longer have to compete with low priced imports, as the cost to import increases. You would induce a shortage at the current price point, resulting in less food avaliable and at a higher price.
Small point - farmers would probably still miss out as resellers and supermarkets take much of the marginal profit.

politics @lemmy.world•Former Kamala Harris aide says Joe Biden should resign so she can serve as 47th president
2·2 years agoTo be fair, this way she could run the campaign while he runs the country.
You should make them pay 1.50 for every plate they didn’t make themselves and someone had to import from another house, refuse to cook or tidy anythingas thats done by immigrants, and point out loudly everything not made in the US.
Id start with pointing out every imported alcohol and amy food not grown in the US.
Known evil?
I disagree though.
The unfortunate responsibilities of doing it anyway, without federal government support.
