This will surely bring manufacturing back to the US /s
America in a few years when no one wants their goods anymore and every country outside the US ramped up production since US is the most unreliable partner ever.
shocked pikachu face
Does the US actually have any domestic manufacturing of anything other than basic commodity products?
There is that YouTuber who's trying to make a pan scrubber something in the US, and he's finding it really difficult to be able to find manufacturers for the various components.
It's a brush for scrubbing barbecue grills, priced at an affordable $87.
I watched part of this announcement and he said something I normally don't pick up on
"If they have started to build or have plans to build they don't have to pay the tariff."
Sounds like.jobs.
But what I heard was it was a discount for the oligarchy. Why do you only get a discount if you are in the position to at least pretend to be building a factory?
And then since prices are now double, you get to import and sell at an easy profit.
Even once it opens, it's cheaper to pay taxes on an empty factory than it is to pay tariffs or American workers.
Plus of course the problem that chip manufacturing is not a US traditional industry, so there probably isn't that much skilled labor.
Ironically they're probably going to end up having to hire foreign nationals.
Yeah, Apple's stock went up 5% yesterday because of Tim Cook's meeting with Trump (where he promised $600 billion investment in US manufacturing), and Apple's saying they won't be affected by the new 50% tariffs on India. There are also ghost factories that were built during Trump's first term.
Which literally means they have to announce fake plans to build which be continually delayed until at least 2028
He'll back down from this like everything but what a fucking complete moron
"...likely pushing up..."
"...likely..."
Of course it will! What kind of reporting is this? "...forcing the price up..." Is the phrase they were looking for.

get that AI bubble a-poppin
What's interesting about this is that Ghislaine Maxwell just got a transfer to a cushy facility in exchange for what is likely to be heavily coached testimony about how Donald Trump totally didn't rape children.
My hope is that he signs the pardon before she testifies, and then she burns him down on the stand.

Where are the Trump-Epstein files?
Can't have files if you don't have a computer to store them tips forehead
Oh boy, another distraction
Still about the Epstein list? Or is it now about the child abuse pastor?
Either way, Trump is a pedophile who is close friends with several other pedophiles. That's the important part.
All the dangers they tell us about being over weight and eating like shit, and this mother fucker is still clinging to life like an 80s action hero clings to the underside of a helicopter at the climax of the movie. Come on clogged arteries, do something!
i mean, he probably has access to world-class healthcare.
one also has to wonder how often he uses that healthcare without public disclosure.

Americans won‘t own anything and they‘ll be happy.
Tariffs will grow until morale improves
It’s fucking tariff roulette again. And so it will be for the next 3.5 years. Stupid cunts. Remember to kick a republican in the nuts.
Next 3.5 years if we are lucky.
You won't ever need to vote again
The last 6 months have been the longest decade of my life.

anything to not discuss the epstein files, it seems like the effectiveness of tariffs isnt have as much effect as distraction as it should.
