Yep, thank you mr president. Time to get it below three. Tarrifs babyI want jobs in America and fair trade. It’s not difficult. Ray said it rightTarrifs won’t mess with price to consumers since all products will be the same price!IF that is what has been happening, then we have no need for tariffs or anything! Glad we worked that out.
Never will "all products" be the same price, what kind of world do you live in?
The only way to make that happen is to have the government set the price...but that might be just what you are hoping for.
We have jobs in America, that is why we are at 3.8% unemployment and have more open positions than people to fill them.
As I have told you in the past, fair is a fairy tale, it is not part of the real world.
What we should have are mutually beneficial trade deals, and the evidence says that is what we have.
So, have you looked over all the tariffs we have in place, since I gave you the link this morning?
Shipping container. That's how we get items from over seas... Like I said, you have no clue...There you are with that stealth container comment. What container?The cost of container shipping is more than the cost of many products.I’m saying there are lots of products we couldn’t compete. They are quite far away, shipping alone eliminates lots of products.
Container shipping is very cheap. You should know that.
My point stands. I want those jobs. I want to sell more of everything.
REally? Cause I've seen very cheap products from far, far away.
Made with really cheap labor. We don't have that advantage here. But there are certain products that aren't imported like paper. Even with cheap labor the value of a container of paper is not enough to be imported as the container costs are too high.
If tariffs worked we'd have been using them much more often. Unfortunately they do not and have never worked for anything other than another tax on us. More taxes isn't going to help anything.Yep, thank you mr president. Time to get it below three. Tarrifs babyI want jobs in America and fair trade. It’s not difficult.

Well they are putting people out of the job.But you fully support the CEOs adding all those self checkouts.I don’t know what the solution is other than Americans sticking together and buying American made products not produced with automation.
The problem is we have three things to choose from:
Cheap products
Good paying American jobs.
Strong market growth for our personal investments or our IRA.
We can’t have all three. We must choose one or perhaps two. We chose cheaper products and stock market growth.

I always try to buy American, and where I can I do buy union made. Do not care if I have to pay more. Same as grocery shopping, I try to only shop at grocery stores that are union. I absolutely do not do self checkout because that is taking away jobs.
Employing people with good wages and good benies is always a good thing for people. MAGA!
I don't ever use self-checkout myself because in doing so, I'm helping to eliminate jobs.
CEO's only try to save the company money. I do support that. What I don't support is putting somebody out of the job because I don't have the extra five minutes to wait in line for a cashier to check me out. If people didn't use self-checkout, the CEO's wouldn't put them in the stores.

Nope, they are not putting people out of jobs no more than Walmart puts other stores out of jobs. Jobs are lost because of consumers--not CEO"s or overseas products. If the consumer doesn't comply with "whatever" then the issue gets scraped and stores continue to try and satisfy the majority of their customers.
The cost of container shipping is more than the cost of many products.I’m saying there are lots of products we couldn’t compete. They are quite far away, shipping alone eliminates lots of products.Why not? Are you saying that America is inherently unable to compete?

Yeah, that's why I said certain products...The cost of container shipping is more than the cost of many products.I’m saying there are lots of products we couldn’t compete. They are quite far away, shipping alone eliminates lots of products.

It depends on the product. Manufacturers like to produce as close to their customers as they can. It's a business strategy that are used by most.
Container transport is only part of the cost. It's what happens afterwards that adds to the cost.
After containers are brought in by boat, they have to be unloaded. After unloaded, paperwork and perhaps TSA have to do a lot of work to prepare those containers. Products need to be examined, damages need to be assessed.
After all that is done, containers are loaded onto trucks to transport those containers to the railroad yard. Once again, they have to be unloaded, paperwork needs to be done, and checks for damages. Then those containers get loaded on railroad cars.
When those containers reach their destination, again, they have to be unloaded, checked and paperwork needs to be done. Then they load those containers back on trucks which deliver the products to local warehouses.
At the warehouse, they are unloaded, counted, checked for damages, and they call us, local tractor-trailer drivers to deliver that freight to the ultimate customer.
When I get that freight, I have to count pallets, crates, boxes, and make sure no apparent damage exists. Then I can deliver it to our customer.
Overseas production does cost us jobs, but other jobs are created in the process, just not as many as are lost.

When did Republicans ever address that issue? If most customers refused to use self-checkouts, refused to buy foreign made products, refused to shop at superstore giants like Walmart, do you think they would last very long with no customers?
Quit placing blame on everybody else but yourself. WE CONSUMERS call the shots. We always have and always will.

I'm quite sure there has been plenty of complaints about them. Fact is there are often no other options.Consumers didn't ask for self checkout.

Correct, they didn't. But as long as they go with the flow, it's the consumers that call the shots. Now that there are self-checkouts, many people use them. If people refused to use them, complained to the manager, the CEO would remove those self-checkouts and replace them with cashiers. If he or she doesn't, their competition will.
