President Trump announces new tariffs: 25% for steel, 10% for aluminum

[Harpy Eagle]

All these "principled" conservatives tout the very 'free' trade that has hollowed out our manufacturing jobs and created trade deficits with practically the entire planet. But we can buy cheaply made shit!

84% of the jobs in manufacturing that have gone away are due to automation, not companies moving out. And given the hatred you Trumpanzees have for Musk, Tesla and Space X, you are total hypocrites.

Which is why China’s FoxConn has over 500,000 prisoners.

IPhones are just assembled in China. Parts come from all over the world including the US. The developers are in the US. Trade figures do not take this into account which is why they are mis-leading.

Your post is correct but it has zero to do with the myth of automation eliminating jobs.
If there's so much automation why are all the illegals and business visas needed?

Because what libs don't tell you automation is very expensive and requires 24/7 maintenance and engineering positions which are not cheap.

You are right, this automation shit will never catch on...

No need for global blinders. Close the doors and borders. America Only. Dissolve nafta. WEXIT.

We'll negotiate on our terms. If and when. Fuck the foreign.

This automation myth is just a passing fad. I have it on good authority that GM has programed their computers to put all of their robots on sale at Amazon next year.

...and remember the Trumpettes' slogan, "And we won't stop until we bring back 1904 economics!!"

"Breaking: EU's Juncker says the bloc will react to the proposed U.S. steel action with tariffs on motorcycles (Harley-Davidson), bourbon whiskey and blue jeans."

Motorcycles, Bourbon Whiskey, & Blue Jeans is a country song!

Harley Davidson is already in trouble, in that their sales have been dropping seriously due to their aging market. This could finish them off.

Q. Who is their target

A. McConnell (Whiskey) and Ryan (Motorcycles)

some folks are sayin Trump's tariffs will raise the cost of your beer!

Cans are made of aluminum so it will cost more to put beer in a can, They can do one of two things. Raise the price or cut costs by laying people off.

The cost increase will be about $0.0001 per can.

Actually China's chief trade negotiator has been here the whole time and China is threatening to buy airbus.

One of the biggest manufacturing industries in the United States is automobile manufacturing. The average car has about 2400 lbs of steel in it and about 300 lbs of aluminum.

Yeah- the average joe won't notice the increase in the price of beer- but will in the increase in the price of a car.

My conspiracy theory for the day:

If you were a globalist, what better way to push your agenda than to put a wolf in sheeps clothing in the White House to talk about “merica first” and then to make America weaker economically and to weaken our position all around the world.

He is very clever into getting you think he is FOR Americans with his words and even by some of his actions.He HAS actually been the first president since carter to do good things for america but at the same time,he also is serving his masters and doing their bidding as well.He is not FULLY committed to us like we need to have.

The price increase will be abot $150. I doubt they will notice.

So much for the free market conservatives.

Conservatives think big government should dictate pricing. Sounds kinda socialist...

They also think the government should dictate who a company gives a discount to, so this is no surprise from them

They really aren’t conservatives at all... they seem to be what they claim to hate. Sad but funny at the same time.

They are though the reason our country is moving left so rapidly. The left has always pushed our county left and in the past the right pushed back the other way. But more and more the right is helping push left out of some need to “teach the left a lesson”.

Actually, on FOX News (yeah I know, but you gotta get intel on the other side occasionally), they had some dude from the Treasury holding up a Campbell's soup can telling you that the extra tax for the steel in the can is only a fraction of a cent and so there would be no price increase.

Shortly after that, they had a representative from a beer company (Bud Light), and he said that this equated to roughly a 375 million dollar tax on beer makers, and that the extra costs of the cans would be passed onto the consumer.

He then mentioned the soda makers, auto makers, and all the other industries that use aluminum.

Conservatives now support artificially setting the price for commodities. Conservative socialism is hitting it's stride. Other ways cons meddle in the free market? Punishing a company like Delta for making decisions that they think are best for their bottom line. And of course steering government contracts to their friends and family, their donators, to the tune of billions of dollars, even though their friends can't do the job.

25% on steel is not a huge tariff on China.

No, but it screws over one of our best allies which is Canada. They supply the US with a lot of steel.

Georgia was proposing to give Delta preferential treatment, but when they expressed their hostility to the NRA that treatment was revoked. They did exactly the opposite of "meddling in the free market." They ended their meddling. Furthermore, Delta's decision had nothing to do with its bottom line.

Which government contracts are being steered to their friends and family?
