Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

watch closely. prices will still rise. blame will still be placed on the war. note who does this. the problem, of course, is capitalism
All 90 days does is increase the pricing on shipping for the next 30-60 days while everyone tries to import in preparation for the resume of the import taxes.
exactly
Yes, it will, and to a large extent rightly so. I'd hope you understand that this insane fucking whiplash means the following:
I'm 100% certain there are things I'm failing to consider here. Trump moved past the point on the curve where deformation can be considered elastic.
I work in a factory in R&D, we are planning a factory out. What you are saying is absolutely true. After a certain point the tariff walk backs are irrelevant because big purchases have already been made which locks the choice in. This point has already been hit and upper management, hell honestly even vendor we talk to, has zero confidence in how everything will play out until trumps out of office.
i think your points are, indeed, completely on point. no pun intended. I think, on a long enough time scale, prices on consumer products will follow the same ever adapting and almost instantly changing formulas fuel prices have.

This shits so old here. All you people just parrot eachother. Money is the problem. Not your boogeyman capitalism.
Trump's the real problem here.
one can have money and be fine. one cannot pretend there is an invisible market controlling your choices as a business owner; it’s gaslighting and sociopathic.
You’re conflating free markets with capitalism. They’re different.
they are different but in the context here - a lot of folks will be a lot of screwed because a lot of assholes will “pretend” they “need” to raise prices because of “trump.” He’s a symptom not a cause.
Amazingly capitalism bad is always only brought up with America on lemmy. Which is apparently the only capitalist country in the world.
It's propaganda and people are eating it up.
This "trade war" has nothing to do with capitalism. It's only a thing because of trump.
trump is a capitalist. china is capitalist. what are you talking about?
I know it can be difficult sometimes. But try to stay focused.
What happening in the rest of the world?
Oh, rising fascism?
No through line there.
I guess we should solely place the blame on a singular person instead of taking any time to consider the systems that create these outcomes in the first place. You are very smart because you know trump is the singular issue and nothing else is wrong with the world. Capitalism is working perfectly everywhere but America, right?
How's British housing going? How's Germany doing with the antisemitism thing? What's italy up to these days? All irrelevant and pointless questions that have nothing to do with trump and therefore aren't bad.
I have a lot to learn I guess.
Entirely missing the point. But I'm glad you got that off your chest.
