Washing machines/dryers prices up 17% under Trump (thank you, tariffs)

[pismoe]

Wanna buy laundry equipment for your home? Good luck paying more than you used to, thanks to Donald J. Trump and his tariffs.
In this thread, we will come up with ideas as to how to lower said prices again:
Opinion | Trump’s tariffs are already backfiring

------------------------------------------ big deal suck it up if you want a new washer and drier i guess . Next people will be crying about the increased cost of 'dish washers' i suppose eh Ted ??

That's right! We should be bowing down and thanking Trump for making things more expensive! It is every American's duty to pay more and more for the same shit!

...Why do we need the central government to force people to do such things?

Because the governments of our economic competitors heavily subside their industries and manipulate their currencies to unfair advantage...unlike their American counterparts.

This levels the playing field, even if it means some short-term discomfort in pursuit of a worthwhile long-term goal ( reestablishing a decent manufacturing base here ).

No doubt Trump's plan will work as well as his plan for his casino and airline.

So, you want the US government, and thus the US society, to become more like those of China and the EU? Is that what you are saying?

Union bashing, not surprised. Let me guess you work non union and have no health and welfare benies.

Trying to change the subject I see. What do you think companies in the past had to do to make those dramatic increases in wages and benefits when unions made the demand? What do you think businesses who are stuck in liberal cities with huge minimum wage increases have to do to pay those new higher wages?

Union workers make up about 10% of the private workforce but are all the problems, how does that make sense? How about your health benies bro.

We had them until Commie Care came out, and like many smaller companies, my employer dropped coverage.

Unions set the pace for America regardless how many operations were union or not. Unions seldom if ever went on strike in poor economic times. When they went on strike, it was usually during economies like we have today.

So the non-union companies had to pay higher wages too because help was harder to come by. Good and talented workers always went where the money was. Non-union companies had to pay just under what union companies were paying, and that's how we eventually priced ourselves out of the world market.

We have them and our benies increased. Of course so have premiums. But not as much as pre ACA.

You should be happy unions set a pay standard or you and I would be working for minimum wage. And our local has went on strike during recessions, try again.

Unless you work for the government, I doubt it.

We lost customer after customer because of unions. One of our customers is a crate company. They make crates from the size of suitcases to the size of tractor trailers. We used to deliver those huge crates to companies either leaving the state because of unions or leaving the country altogether.

Besides those companies, our regular customers too left the state or country because of unions. Some of these companies provided us with ten or more pickups and deliveries every week. Huge losses for us.

You can look at the good unions have done all you like, but in the end, they did more damage than good. For instance they lied and misled people. They promised their workers unions and union jobs would be around forever, and their members would always be paid well for doing monkey jobs like riding around on a floor sweeper.

When those jobs left, people were stuck in their middle-ages without any transferable skills or experience. They had a nice house, boat, vacation home, and no way to pay for it any longer. Because they were family men or women who had kids in college, they were unable to learn a new career because they didn't have the time and their age worked against them. Money also became a factor.

Without unions, those monkey jobs wouldn't have paid much, and people in their younger unmarried years would have sought an education or learned a trade before buying a home and starting a family.

Don't doubt it it is true and hope I do not work for the government I am a Steamfitter working in the private sector. Maybd, just maybe your anger is misplaced and you should be angry with your company that WOULD NOT afford your health care and this was a nice excuse to drop you. Oh by the way good luck finding it now that Rump and the Rethugicons have dropped pre-existing conditions to help with MAGA!

its a TRADE War , time to support the USA over your foreign friends GGator .

So, we have about the lowest unemployment rate among all industrialized nations, lower than all of our trading partner except maybe Germany.

We have the highest GDP in the world, higher than the entire EU and higher than China.

And you think we are losing the war?

That is one hell of a good loss then!

------------------------------------------------------- UNPOSSIBLE to lose the WAR . But its personal to me and i just want to kick their azzez and humiliate them throughout the world as the Trump slaps them around and gets them in line and on their knees . Same reason i want to get rid of 'mrobamas' legacy . Same reason for building a WALL on the Border so as to poke the 'mexicans' in the eyes GGator . Its fun plus HUMILIATION for the targeted is my goal GGator .

 

[AmericanResurgence]

Well Folks if we bought American made products there would be more people employed which would equal less spent on unemployment. And the end result would be lower taxes...

Well goods produced in America should be exempt from State and Local Sales Taxes

I guess we have very different goals in life. Mine is to provide the best possible life for me and my family. I cannot and will not support damaging our country so that some teenage boy on the internet cna get his thrills watching Trump try and fuck up the good thing we have going.

3.8% unemployment is actually better than full employment. There are in this country today more jobs openings than there are people to fill them.

[pismoe]

things are being run TRUMP Style or American style and i like it GGator .

 

[AmericanResurgence]

Well in terms of reducing Federal Government spending more jobs and more people in work would help to reduce the difference between income and expenditure the budget deficit.

 

[pismoe]

and with my very recent replies in mind in mind it looks like the Targeted are being messed with and the USA is immune . See your post number 190 and 194 GGator .

Nope. I want the playing field leveled. Tariffs do that.

Typical myopic perception.

Yeah... we have the highest GDP today.

Trouble is, if we allow these imbalances to continue unchallenged, that will soon no longer be the case.

Corrective measures require a combination of Perception, Vision, Determination and Effective Action.

Something that globalists, internationalists and no-borders types demonstrate very little of, outside their own framework.
