400%? LMAO
Where the fuck did you get those numbers? Charlie Kirk?
Every country has been steadily reducing their tariff rates long before Trump started his trade war with our allies, like Japan, the EU, Canada, including the United States, until Trump had to fuck it up and then they placed RETALIATORY tariffs on us in response to Trump's moronic move
This is a graph chart proving my point that countries *have* been lowering their tariff rates over time
Here's an example these existed before trump, you clearly do not pay any attention to economics.
270% on our dairy
*The North American Free Trade Agreement between the United States, Canada, and Mexico entered into force on January 1, 1994. Under NAFTA, trade in all industrial goods between the United States and Canada became duty-free on January 1, 2008.*
Come on man
don't be disingenuous
you have yet to prove a point
I just did 🤦
dude
arwe
fds.fhjsdlkfhsdflkshdfklshfsdkljfhlskfhsopeiuwhopiuww
your only point has been that tariffs are bad in the short run but nobody disagreed with you
I made that point and that nations have LOWERED their tariffs over time
not increased
And that all industrial goods between Canada and the US have become duty free
@FriarPop Which they have without Trump's retarded tariffs 🙄
Now they're increasing them because we've launched full scale trade wars with them simply because of Trump's ignorance of basic economic understanding
No
Jfc
No?
Tell me where Im wrong
Increasing tarrifs makes using local sources a a viable option when importing is so cheap, boosting local production
Tariffs protect industries at the expense of the consumer which they get hit the hardest
Besides, Trade deals aren't the existential threat facing factory workers
There is a cost to everything
It's advancements in artificial intelligence
That's the existential threat
Not yet
@An Elbow The cost of hitting the American consumer seems more devastating then laying off a few factory workers, right?
Let the market decide, not the government
"Not yet" lol
Technology is advancing too quickly
Faster than we can keep up with it
No. Creating hundreds to thousands of jobs is better than making a few things more expensive
