Cost-Benefit Analysis Trump Tariffs

[Harpy Eagle]

Why the fuck would they add it to other products?

So that they do not lose the sales from that one product or group of products totally.

It happens all the time. I am taking it you have never done any sort of upper management in retail.

A cold snaps kills off strawberries and would make the cost go up by 2 dollars a quart, you spread that cost around so that people will still by the strawberries and the accompanying sales that go with them.

This is basic retail 101.

Perhaps if you had stayed in school till at least through the end of middle school you might have a tad bit more knowledge.

Bullshit...


So in your propaganda world they wouldn't raise the price on Chinese goods because Obama was the president?


Common sense 101 tard...

Chinese good cost less, American goods cost more, after the tariffs Chinese goods cost more American goods remain the same

 

[Harpy Eagle]

Just don’t buy stuff from mexico or China then it won’t cost you more

are you really this naive, or is it just an act?

If the tariff on products from Mexico is 5%, retailers will raise the price of those items by about 2 or 3 percent and then add 1 or 2 percent to 100 other products to recoup the cost plus some. They understand that people will buy less of the Mexican product, so they take advantage of the ignorance of the consumer.

In the couple of years hear at USMB I have come to the conclusion some of these people are just outright missing a few or rather posting to get a rise out of people because I can't believe anyone can be that stupid and get by in life.

Ya the price of wheat has dropped a whopping 1/2 a percent
It was up 5 pct 2 years ago
It was up 17 pct last year
Anything else you would like to know about agriculture?

Wheat should go up over the next few months.

The yields for winter wheat in the mid-west will be down and there will be a large number of abandoned acres due to the flooding.

I went on a Wheat Tour sponsored by the state wheat association and a group of millers this past week and things are not looking great. The stalk count is about the same as in years past but the head size is down. A lot of the farmers were not able to get a 2nd round of N on their fields due to the rain.

Everything is going in the ground late this year, if at all. There was a lot of talk about prevent plant payments. Indiana is some 60 percentage points behind in corn planting as compared to the 5 year average as is Illinois. Soybeans are about 40 behind.

If these states have an early winter, things could get pretty ugly for the farmers.

Except smart retailers up the price on American goods as well, they make even more money that way. You really should not talk about things you have no knowledge of.

So what I still want to know how your assnine economic bullshit works, the only reason US goods would go up is to cover the cost they lost with Chinese dumping of goods.

Because of Chinese tariffs on Harley's

Again why would retailers raise up the price on American goods today, when they didn't raise up the price on Chinese goods before the tariffs?

by the way, a Harley in China cost between US$12,300 to $37,000. Whomever told you the 100 grand number lied to you.

Buy fewer. I think the point is that if you manufacture in the US products will cost more due to higher labor costs. The other point is that most Americans agree that work conditions in Mexico are less than ideal so perhaps we should pay more and buy American?

 

[McRocket]

Just don’t buy stuff from mexico or China then it won’t cost you more

Not true.

LOTS of US/foreign manufactured goods contain Chinese/Mexican made components.

And the higher cost of these components are passed on to the consumers.

Plus, much of the manufacturing equipment itself could come from/have components from Mexico/China...and thus to replace/repair them will now be more expensive.


As with life, these tariff costs are far from black and white.
