The super high ones are the ones that matter.
The only reason I am pro tariff is to onshore US manufacturing.
These trade deals represent nothing but a flash in the pan corporate giveaways.
What are the “really strong economic numbers” and when do they start reducing inflation lowering gas prices and incr asking my wage rate?
Gas has been down
I’ve found the % fluctuations to be greater week to week +/-40 cents or so. But not consistently down.
Probably depends on your area. Ive seen people post 2.89 gas and others post its 4+in their area
Differences in price don't have a linear effect, they have an exponential effect; they also have inertia as supplie chains shift and empty out, etc.
When applied it mans that the adjustments go: "Not enough, not enough, not enough, WAY TOO MUCH!" while there is a lag of months between cause and effect.
Perhaps 10% is too low, but it is a lot better than none. He also got the market panic out of the way and now the tariff is in place.
If in a year Trump wants to raise the tariffs to 12% (which would be a fucking huge jump) then it won't be a big deal. Not only that, if he signals the new tariff hike, he'll get companies to make plans to onshore supplies early.
Trumps strategy with the Tariffs has been a brilliant management of foreign relations and the media circus.
Yes, I hope he puts them up (even though I don't live in the USA, and it will hurt my country); but I am happy with the way things have gone.
