Statistically insignificant.

I feared that. I was too caught in my surreal feeling reading the headline. I’d cross post but there’s a lot of comments here. I would understand a thread lock however.

Edit:

Cross-posted

don’t lump the northwest and midwest

Could you define those two please? I know I could look up which states they but I’m curious what defines them to you. Or is it purely geographical?

OP, can we get a mirror link or at least a comment quoting a section?

Can’t believe you didn’t know about the hippies in the NW corner!

I’m Canadian, let me guess. Seattle and Portland?

I think a better reason is the federation only worked one way. Why should we share our content if they’re not sharing theirs? Not that we’d want it.

Seven hospitals are expected to shut down in the state as a result of the law’s Medicaid cuts, and 84,000 West Virginians will lose Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program benefits, according to estimates.

If this doesn’t do it what will?

Telling someone to check their privilege when they tried to accurately describe the level of rich they are?

No, it’s from the pixelfed guy?

Does this work as a ping?

This feels like semantics. Sure, domestically made products wouldn’t have tariffs directly applied. But they will still increase in price as a result of this policy.

Which most of us here have reduced to “prices will rise on USA made products as a result of these tariffs”.

So yes, tariffs aren’t applied to domestic productions directly, but the end product will still cost more and the reason will be the tariffs.

I think we agree now, yes?

I think they assume that a USA device would have tariff only on the imported chips inside, whereas a device from another country would have its chips tariffed, as well as an additional tariff on the full device when imported.

I don’t know if this is the case or not because Trump is unclear and as others have pointed out this would be trivial to evade if components aren’t tariffed separately.

No matter what those in the USA would be paying more for electronics.

Perhaps somehow we still believe he wouldn’t fuck over Americans that much.

There’s chips in everything and they simply won’t be made domestically any time soon.

So any product containing chips will have a 100% tariff applied?

Edit: product imported to the USA

I feel like there must be a miscommunication/misunderstanding here.

The tariffs only apply to the imported products. That’s how tariffs work.

Right.

If you import components into a US product then you only pay the tariff on those components, not the entire product.

Isn’t that in agreement with OP? Any products made in USA that contain chips will cost more to make due to the 100% tariff on the chips.

I believe they’re referring to products made in the USA that contain chips.

As in importing chips would be 100% but importing a product that contains chips would be 15%?

Took me a sec 👏
