Faces will be eaten, let the feasting commence
And agricultural products would also be the obvious place for the EU to retaliate too, so if Trump goes ahead with his harebrained plan to impose ridiculous tariffs they can forget about exports as a viable business model.
wait til your lord king, savior, and chief diaper-wearer shrinks your labor pool and those still around willing to work demand more money.
It’s because they were probably educated in the US.
US farmers forget that Donnie fucked them last time around, too. Idiots.
Didn’t we then pay them subsidies after trump screwed them?
Wasteful.
Right out of the authoritarian playbook - be both the cause and solution to problems that people face. That way you can vilify “them” while also being the “savior”.
Yuuuuup.
People think of farmers as something Grant Wood would paint. It’s not like that as much anymore. Big corporations control those guys.
Fuck em, let their crops wither and die.
Or not? I’d rather not children starve to death because farmers made stupid choices.
Oh, they will not wither and die, it will just be bought by Nestlé et al. and you can either import food from abroad and pay the Trump tax, or you can buy the price gouged local produce after all competition is gone.
Fuck US politics in general.
Boo fucking hoo. Stop voting for policies that directly hurt you and yours just to spite perceived threats, and then maybe I’ll give a shit about your woes.
– an “enemy from within”
China likely to reciprocate against the tariffs, why? They only hurt us, and help them. Placing Tariffs in the other direction makes their prices rise in their country, that doesn’t help them. They keep more industries by keeping prices low
It hurts them because imports will fall and that’s how they make money.
It will just hurt Americans far more.
I suppose if the product in unnecessary, that would make sense. Required imports would stay selling at same prices until manufacturing plants elsewhere could be built for cheap enough to not just pay the tariffs. : /
Nothing except market manipulation
They did in 2018. Turns out they import lots of soybean and other foods from the US.
Someone used to tell me one of the largest exports of Panama City Beach when I lived there was mulch. They would ship it to China for fuel apparently. Never would have thought about a smaller town shipping trees half a world away… Talk about inefficient.
