The reason the pro Chicom, anti-tariff crowd should quit being fat blubbering pussies all day is summed up well in this image.
Looking at that, who do you think has the better positions and options in this war?

I see you don’t mention why which is a probably a good strategy for you considering how unpersuasive it is for your position.
The reason why is that they apparently didn't find the threat of 25% compelling enough to agree to those demands, period. Which is also why the meetings yesterday didn't prevent it.

I would welcome an empirical study from a non-union think tank or legitimately unbiased academic source if that exists, not some dipshit moron brandishing Campbell's soup cans on TV or some Breitbart assclown compiling a few anecdotal "data points."
You may not see it, but it's happening, with some companies better positioned to handle it than others. The effect on consumers may be de minimis ceteris paribus, I don't know. I don't even know definitively if the outcome is a net positive or negative for the U.S. economy and its investors when the dust all settles. That said, all I can go off of is what I know, and I do know that tariffs are generally more harmful than not.
The unfortunate truth is that when you pick winners and losers in this fashion, you have a very real impact on American industrial outfits and yes their workers. While some are able to pass on customers and possibly even push price (and eventually consumers), it's compressing margins for many other manufacturers downstream of the commodities the tariffs are inflating, which is the primary reason, I would argue, why the stock market is responding the way it generally has been in response to trade war news (negatively).

I really get a kick out of you clowns that can't see more than a month or two down the road on this. Trump has said from the beginning he is for fair trade.
China is not and they will pay the price until they bend the knee.
Once they do, the tariffs will go away.
And for all the doom and gloom you spout, the markets haven't moved much at all the past couple days. And even over the week it was not a huge drop by any means. Tariffs on chinese imports are not going to sink the economy and will have a minimal effect on us.
It will hammer China however.

Well the "moron" is right and that proof is in the numbers in the article.
Breitbart didn't compile the numbers. That would be The Department of Labor. It's an ASSCLOWN(that's you) that's attacking the messenger and not looking at the content and the links to that information that was RELEASED BY THE DEPT OF LABOR.
Here.. allow me to quote that for you :
The Department of Labor said Friday that its consumer price index was up just 2.0 percent compared with a year ago, indicating that prices are not rising particularly quickly. The Federal Reserve says it targets 2 percent inflation, although it uses a different measure of prices.
But that's just, you know, facts...
Let me guess... "BREITBART AS BAD AS ORANGE MAN!

IB Chinaman is such an intellectual fraud. He could teach an econ 101 class, but that's about it.
"Hur Dur all taxes are bad mkay! Let China do whatever they want, even tariff us and implement a variety of trade barriers, but as long as our tariffs on China are zero then I'm taking the 'free market' position! Hur dur!".

that was a specific tariff, and there's its specific impact.
and you'd have to have a mental disability that is exotic indeed to somehow not see the several other points in that post addressing other tariffs and/or the "deal" resulting from them
Posted on 5/10/19 at 5:47 pm to Jjdoc
It may not be blatantly obvious to the consumer, but the increase is there in some markets. My wife is in sales, they just notified their customers today there is a 12% price increase across the board due to the tariffs, this is their 2nd double digit price increase this year as a result.

there was already pain from ip theft. these 2 halfwits keep blabbering on about episodic instances of the tariffs causing pain. therefore, orange man bad. nevermind that the chinese keep stealing ip from us businesses. oh and sidenote, chini happens to be a military threat.
