What did china exempt after Trump exempted Phones, Electronics and Computers
I don't think that China need anything from the US, but the US need almost everything from China and the rest of the world. All their tech depends on chips and raw materials from the Asiatic market
It's becoming more and more clear that all these conflicting announcements are to allow Trump and his cronies to profit off insider trading. Kind of insane how blatant it is, short the market, announce tariffs, sell the short, pause the tariffs (except for China), buy tech stock, announce tech will be exempt, they gotta be making crazy bank.
i think its that, and its also feeling for what they can get away with.
That's the fun part, people might think the big bougies will choose democrats with their backtobrunchism continuation of imperialism, but the line not only needs to go up but accelerate, and it's been 5 years from last biggest transfer of wealth up in history, so they are restless again and perfectly willing to tear the copper from walls.
I agree with the way you think brother
I'm sure all the "now we are gonna manufacture iPhones in the US!" conservatives will raise their displeasure with this any day now.
Trump saw that Switch 2 price and knew he could not afford it.
this renders trump's tariffs almost completely moot.
It doesn't for local businesses, so effectively he created these tariffs for nothing, the original purpose is now unable to be realised and the aftereffects will lead to bankruptcy of smaller businesses and companies will prefer to open factories literally everywhere else
Enabling the Capitalist tendency for monopolization is not "for nothing", it's a necessity of the system.
As those smaller businesses go out of business, their leaders will either be scooped up under the lead of larger business, or they will be forced to return to the mass labour workforce, either way their market now belongs to the higher up capitalists and their new role is ensuring profits for those bosses.
Trump achieved a short term goal with the insider trading tactic. Let's see if he does it again.
Yeah this is the headline to be honest. I kinda assumed he was too thick so maybe it was somebody else’s idea but whatever. Looks like that was the play afaict
A la Elon
Yeah. I backed a board game recently on Kickstarter poor guy shared in a new update he got hit with a 60k charge bringing over stock for a previous release. Like shit man that’s awful for a small business.
I wouldn't go that far. China makes something like 80% of the intermediate products used in "American" manufacturing, so I'd still expect price increases across the board.
making sure completely manufactured commodities can be easily exported to the imperial core but not raw/intermediate materials is such a JDPON move
Assuming they ever start collecting the tariff.
Does that include 3d printers? jfc
... does the research no
