Your actually fooling yourself in believing that a company is gonna dump more money into something instead of just tacking a sales increase and just forget about it. So now that we have a backlog of orders, those parts prices are just going to increase significantly.
You're only correct for a short amount of time. The idea behind protectionism (tariffs) is that it makes foreign goods artificially more expensive in order to give local industry a chance to grow to a point where it can compete with imports.
America is a literal God mode map edited wonderland, it has almost every possible natural resource you could want (except hot Japanese women) in abundant supply. There is no reason America couldn't compete with any country on any good domestically. Due to a long string of retarded and/or malicious past decisions, local manufacturing has been killed and everything has been offshored.
With tariffs, the intention is to make things from other countries more expensive. This means that, yes, at first, Johnny Dropshipper will slap the extra cost onto the ticket price of his plastic crap, and it will get more expensive for the average American. That's stage one.
Stage two is where American entrepreneurs realize there's a gap in the market - "hey what if
I make plastic crap in America and sell it here? I can do it cheaper than him". They go to the bank and get a business loan, build up some factories, and start kicking into production. At first they're roughly the same price as the imported plastic crap, and so they can compete on quality, "Made in America", or whatever else.
Stage three is where the new local manufacturers have been in business long enough to have built up their factories to be efficient, and their business partners to have good deals. Now they are able to compete with the imported products on price, even if there is no tariff, because as established America is the best spawn point in the world.
Stage two never happens without stage one. Stage three can't happen without stage two.
that's exactly my point you retarded nigger, Iranian sponsored groups are extensions of Iranian policy. You're so retarded that you end up agreeing with me
Read the quotes back, the other thread dweller who is much nicer and better smelling than you (because you are Jewish) was taking issue with you first saying it was Iran, then saying you didn't say it was Iran in fact it was "Iranian sponsored groups", and now you're back to saying that it's Iran because they're one and the same. Do you get why your kind isn't welcome?
Why isn't UK holding the US accountable for killing British soldiers in 1991, 2003, 2007, and 2009. How about Canada when a US pilot high on go pills bombed a Canadian infanty unit killing 4 Canadian soldiers?
This is the US politics thread, I do not give a shit what the UK or Canada thinks of anything while I'm here.
It's an insane take too because in theory the people that are poor enough to actually be fucked by a price hike on toothpaste and soap ALSO can't pony up several hundred dollars in one go for personal care items, half of which are just going to go in a dumpster next time they move house.
Yet they somehow have time to be so social media addicted that they're on bluesky.
care about inflation and the kitchen tables of the peons?
