Trump's taxes on America

[initforme]

New US jobs will be created so any uptick will be short-lived......You know, transitory.

Sure ok then.

You are rambling for no purpose.

He is shutting you down.

Ummmmmmmmmmm, we want to make all of the stuff that's very important to us right here in the US, not being beholden to any other foreign country.

Well that's easy, just lower wages then you'll be able to compete or sell the products at a higher price and bar foreign good altogether and then sell them to other countries, undercut China, that'll teach em!

Right now China has like 80% of the planet's rare earth metals used in technology.

Is that a crime? Is it China's fault if we developed a society dependent on something we don't have?

We want to change that, hence a minerals deal with Ukraine and doing what we can to get Greenland more aligned with the US, not to mention we have rare Earth minerals right here in the US that leftists wouldn't allow us to mine.

Well Ukraine doesn't have much to offer with rare earths. Yes we have them but we haven't developed their extraction yet so companies buy them where they can.

All you seem to be doing is blaming other countries for our own failings. If we pay low wages we'll be able to produce the same goods at around the same cost, why isn't trump doing that?

It depends.

Of course it does, it depends on who's in office (for you).

Oval Office Outburst Reveals Flaws in U.S.-Ukraine Rare Earth Minerals Deal

A chaotic Oval Office press conference on Feb. 28 revealed a nonsensical U.S.-Ukraine deal for rare earths, baffling experts who knew Ukraine lacks viable deposits. Is Trump’s rare-earth strategy misguided political theater? With China dominating the market, why ignore U.S. resources...

I have seen that shit before. Conspiracy theory spread by the left. I see you totally ignored Greenland and the US having rare Earths. I'm beginning to figure you out though. You are a paid troll, paid by China.

Clearly you've never heard of the IEEE or Spectrum magazine, what a moron you are.

IEEE Spectrum - Wikipedia

en.wikipedia.org

I see you totally ignored Greenland and the US having rare Earths.

Not at all, if you took the time to read you have read this:

But annexing Greenland wouldn’t do much to solve the United States’ rare-earths problem, because there is a reason why Greenland’s abundant natural resources have not been heavily developed. “Greenland is an exceptionally difficult area in which to mine,” says Sanderson. “Temperatures, snow, ice, etcetera. And of course, in the spring, such as it is, there are oceans of mud.”

The US has deposits but Trump isn't talking about them, haven't you noticed? Billions have already been spent on exploration but we are nowhere near ready to mine anything useful, perhaps that "engineer" Musk will rescue us.

I'm beginning to figure you out though. You are a paid troll, paid by China.

I knew you'd cave eventually, airheads like you usually do. The article is showing you proof that there's zero prospect of getting rare earths from Ukraine but that doesn't fit your trumpanzee narrative so what do you do? you react predictably with "Conspiracy theory spread by the left." what a stupid asshole you are.

trump is now your goto expert on rare earths and not the electrical and chemical engineers who teach about, use and design with rare earths - FFS, what has happened to this once proud and innovative nation...

Sure ok then.

Well you people believed it when FJB said it.

Trump doubles tariffs on Canadian metals, causing Ontario to back down on electricity price hikes

President Donald Trump says he will double his planned tariffs on steel and aluminum from 25% to 50% for Canada.

apnews.com

Somebody please tell Trump that his additional 25% tax on the American people on aluminum and steel from Canada will be a serious economic blow to America. It will have a massive effect on cars, appliances and GUNS manufactured in the U.S.

I realize Trump is an economic novice, but he needs to hear it from his own people!

Bigly!!!

GreedHeads Aren't Customer-Friendly; They're Accountant-Friendly

Defective logic. You refuse to consider whether the buyers and retailers can absorb a tariff and take it out of their profits. Those who do will make up for it in increased sales volume.

We've had enough of their self-love and hatred of everything else. After all, the consumers create the plutocratic parasites' jobs, wealth, and the income of their Daddy-mooching spoiled brats.

Our local loggers are loving it....They have been surviving on residential tree work due to the Hoser's lumber dumping.

It will take a while for them to ramp back up due to having to lay off so many crews.

That will mean new jobs throughout the industry as new crews are hired, new equipment purchased, and the mills open back up.

Many mills had to close during FJB's rancid economy.

1. I support the free market

2. We have a minimum wage. Have had it for a very long time.

3. I support worker's rights to be part of a union if they choose and I support a worker's right to work without being part of a union. And, I support protections from violence for those who choose to work at a place without fear from Unions and their members.

If You're Not a Union Man, You're Not a Man at All. You Are a Manservant.

Economic traitors don't have any rights. Why should we allow sissyboy scabs to distort the labor market?

If You're Not a Union Man, You're Not a Man at All. You Are a Manservant.

Bugger off with that shit. I did fine for me and mine without ever lowering myself to join a union.

The only manservants are the ones keeping their union bosses in mafia suits and Cadillacs.

I knew some local ones back in the day and each and every one of them was a lazy asshole that would sell the workers down the river for a dollar.
