So you cant answer

How shocking. Muh taxes on americans

---

Are you literally retarded ? Our import costs are up 15% depending on what week with the Trump clown show. Those costs are passed on to the consumer. So, is a 15% hike significant ?

quote:

---

an you show me where I ever said otherwise, dipshit?

---

And you are touting tariffs as a good thing ? :lol: :lol: :lol: It's a fricking tax on the American people and contrary to what you have ben lied to about, manufacturing isn't coming back to the U.S. because of tariffs. So, yeah, you are a major dipshit.

Right. Off you go. Back to the sidelines to wait for another opportunity to jump out and get in your laugh emojis at people who actually bring shite here for people to discuss while offering exactly nothing of your own.

---

I'm actually an importer and you are a clueless dipshit. The importer pays the tariff to the Revenue Department. The entire cost of the tariff is paid by the consumer. Nothing more, nothing less.

frick you if you’re buying or using Chinese cement FWIW. Trash material and it will fail.

Not true

And promptly passes that along to every down the chain, who in turn does the same. Imagine thinking importers are just eating the margin No, they raise your price at the counter and you reimburse them.

I’ve already seen the hilarious pivot today on this board several times “that business/company isn’t owed reimbursement! They passed it on to the consumer so they didn’t lose anything!!”

---

Huh ? The cost is passed to the consumer.

We got hit yesterday with $4K in tariffs on an $80K order. I challenged them today on it about whether or not the SCOTUS ruling negates it or what now.

---

People are being hit everywhere and in every industry,

quote:

---

You made $10 million profit and are decimated less than two years later? Definitely a management issue.

---

Yes, our cement import division is not functioning.

quote:

---

Is it true that Chinese cement is an inferior product?

---

For the most part yes. China has two cement plants that produce cement that would be accepted in the U.S. that would meet ASTM C-150 specifications for either type I/II cement .

quote:

---

So you do not understand business. That's fine. But it's not tariff related. It is a management and mitigation issue.

---

Tarrif related ? It's our business to import cement and distribute it. Tarrifs have had a detrimental impact on our bottom line. The U.S. cannot make the needed cement for the construction industry. For at least 30 years, the needed cement has been imported. NOW, the tariffs are causing huge price increases. Are you an imbecile ?

Oh, it's much deeper than that. It's a multinational monopoly that is not American owned. There dumb fricks in the U.S. don't know the difference between cement and concrete.
