This is completely unsurprising to everyone except SFP.

LOL mercantilism has not fell apart. It is absolutely essential for a thriving economy and also for a nation to thrive globally. This one made me laugh a lot.

Well yeah for the most part a nation needs to be wealthy or at least competitive in order for capitalism to work in a nation. Roger what you have missed in your studies (books that you read) is that supply and demand are unilateral locally and globally. Without one you cannot have the other. If you cannot compete then capitalism fails for you.

So Pedro thought he would play chicken but pissed himself when the Trump tariff train came roaring down the tracks. Roger was shoveling coal as fast as he could.

Weird. Colombia closed its borders to Colombians in this case.

US companies have paid $46 billion more in tariffs than they would have without Trump’s tariffs,
So, when the U.S. imposes tariffs, the US consumer foots the bill, but when other countries impose tariffs, the burden is on the U.S. company and not the foreign consumer.
Fascinating.

Absolutely has. Balance of trade is no longer important.
quote:
Mercantilism was an economic system of trade that spanned the 16th century to the 18th century. Mercantilism was based on the principle that the world's wealth was static, and consequently, governments had to regulate trade to build their wealth and national power.
Wealth is not static, balance of trade is irrelevant. In fact, wealthy nations will most likely have a negative balance.

Importer and end use customer always foot the bills.

Roger, just 1 question bc I'm not even sure why you're still arguing with people... what is it that Colombia exports to the US (besides criminals) that has you so concerned about a tariff?

Its not just Columbia, its the greater trade war. Hes already said hes going to tariff the frick out of Canada, Mexico, China....
Its economic insanity. Its anti right wing, and an old Democrat payoff to labor unions.

Yesterday he was worried about $10k electric vehicles from China

Roger, watching your decline has not been enjoyable.

I don't disagree, but your insistence that the U.S. will lose on all fronts on this matter seems disingenuous.
Back of the napkin math, my company receives 15% of its revenue by providing services to Colombians. It seemed evident to me that Colombia had been blustering from the beginning, and frankly, even if I have to shift to provide services for other clients from other countries, it is a small price to pay to control our borders.
I am not sure what your motivations in the argument are. Still, I cannot imagine what you view as a negative of this exchange given the resolution in a matter of hours and a broader audience of countries taking notes not to play games. China refused repatriation flights under Binden. I wonder how they are going to act now?

I've always thought you were a bit overselling your economic situation.
You've lumped yourself in with these economic retards.
quote:
.“Tariffs are the greatest thing ever invented,’’ Trump said this month in Flint, Michigan.
As president, Trump imposed tariffs with a flourish — targeting imported solar panels, steel, aluminum and pretty much everything from China.
“Tariff Man," he called himself.
This time, he's gone much further: He has proposed a 60% tariff on goods from China — and a tariff of up to 20% on everything else the United States imports.
If Obama had done this, you too would have been up in arms. Its horrid economics.
