re: The White House's Tariffs have Ruined Black Friday

ACA is proof that the government generally makes things worse when they get involved. People worried about tariffs increasing their COL, but I bet they vote for people who won't get the government out of insurance.

I dont think the baws realize that half of their jacked up truck comes from abroad, even if assembled in the USA.

They think buying "American" solves everything, but its assembled here, not necessarily produced here.

Smug prog takes on "jacked up trucks"

You are smug, for sure.

And obviously a prog.

These baws have no idea that half their vehicle is imported. They are clueless

Just like shovel ready jobs were not shovel ready. But it sounded good at the time.

I, too, like the government influencing what I should and should not be buying

They already have been doing that for years.

the manufacturing we outsourced overseas was not minimum wage jobs they were solid middle class jobs.

maybe in the 1950s before other countries had the infrastructure or were capable of doing those jobs.

you can't expect global technological advancements to not have an impact on competition.

you have to innovate and move on.

The good news is that a toy factory just opened in Bogalusa.

Naah. The Chinese just kept making the toys and jacked up the price to pay the tariffs.

This article is dookie. Expecting more shoppers than last year, spending to top $1 trillion for first time ever. One interviewee is reducing spending to target specific deals rather than generic Black Friday deals. Another says she'll reduce spending because her Obama premiums are going way up (which the GOP warned it would do a decade ago). But, muh, tariffs are ruining Christmas! Get out of here with this tripe. Typical salacious headline that isn't backed up in the actual article. Media understands that people simply read headlines now.
