I just don't even understand the logistics of how these will be collected/enforced.

I would have assumed this would take like a month to implement with guidance on how to collect, what party is expected to collect and when/how to remit, how to declare, etc.

I don't know shit about fuck when it comes to international whatever, but if I did cross border business, I would be scrambling for answers in a panic to be able to provide information to clients.

I don't have my own business or whatever, but I used to manage some and it is pretty crucial to be able to give straight answers to questions when clients/customers have them.

I'm wondering just how much routine critical shit we take for granted moves through or is otherwise supported by Mexico/Canada supply chains that are going to bottleneck. like medications, basic ingredients (rice, beans, tomatoes, etc), materials, energy services. I mean, fuck me, the easy Mex/Can relationship grants US buyers a ton of flexibility in seasonal agricultural products and it is currently the dead of winter.

legit thought this was just a bunch of blustery BS and did not believe they'd actually pull the trigger.so rapidly.

We are currently in union negotiations. See if I can get pay increases to adjust for a policy induced 15% inflation.

trump says it is because canada is transporting fentanyl into us, but i guess it has to do with wanting to bring the manufacturing factories back to america or something

Is there any logic to this at all? Why are they punishing canada and mexico worse than china?

(I know in reality all of these only punish americans but ykwim)

Trump has been floating the idea that he wants to replace income tax with tariffs. The intention is that he wants to offload the tax burden of corporations onto the cost of living. Canada, Mexico, China are not paying the tariffs. US working people are paying the tariffs.
