I mainly posted it because you guys seem to have in your heads there is no real-world impact to whatever Trump's retarded plan is. A thriving company with 500 employees is going to be ground to dust because of government intervention in markets.

Bunk,

There is a lot missing from this story. They were more likely using cheap Chinese parts to increase profit margins, and this is a result of that decision.

They also look like a crap company




Is this hill you are looking to die on?

This is the exact type of subject where 95% of this board would be upset if a Dem was doing these things. But, hey the orange man is all-knowing, so we must support it!

First, I am anti-tariff. Yet I find it difficult to believe that a company would fold in 3 months after the tariffs were imposed.

Yes I could see tariffs dramatically affecting his business, but I seriously doubt it would cause imminent collapse in just 3 months.

So it's the "loop hole" removal of the de minimis that is hurting him. Just like Temu was exploiting the $800 or less not included in the existing tariffs.

so they were ordering whole containers full of chinese parts, but since each part was less than $800 they didn't have to pay the existing Tariffs.

Me thinks the business was already suffering and used the tariffs as an excuse

This. I suspect the company was teetering on the brink of closure and this was possibly the final blow. But not their fault, of course.

The hostility here from people who buy tons of Chinese stuff towards the people who sell it to them is baffling.

Every day you edge closer to becoming a full fledged homosexual leftist along with a handful of others. I loathed Obama, Biden, and W but the level of brokenness Trump is inflicting on y’all is entertaining

Detroit Axle, a large aftermarket auto parts dealer based in Ferndale

We are shrieking about a used auto parts seller?
