The Foreign Trade Thread

[FLVOL69]

Lmao. You’re proving my point. Illiterate non intellectual. I sit at home and make calls to the guys you buy from autozone, OR, NAPA, Lowe’s, Walmart and do deals then forward orders. Idiot.

I don’t patronize any of those vendors especially Walmart. I figured you for a lazy do nothing computer nerd.

Thanks for proving my point.

That you’re a lazy ass telemarketer? Don’t mention it .

Actually, we like people like you. It helps drive us to the polls to vote for Trump.

They do get us motivated

I’m not. Average person living well. Under 30. Making more thang my parents. Own my house. Two dogs. First kid otw

Congrats on the kid. That other stuff really doesn't mean sh!t. I like common folks that don't brag.

I voted for him and will again you idiot. Trade war is still idiotic. Most of your MFGs are from Taiwan not China. Stay in your lane.

I actually do have a degree in Economics, for whatever that's worth. So, I guess I am somewhat in my lane. The tariffs are a means to an end.

I have one in political science and worked in GOVT. So yeah, your degree is useless.

It is worthless insofar as economists are worthless. They are like weathermen. They can suck at forecasting and keep their jobs.

I call BS on this, tariffs haven’t even been in play that long. Fiscal mismanagement more likely

It would help if they had anything decent to sell other than a truck. The Taurus is about 100 years old. Mustang, limited market. Focus, Fiesta, Fusion all long in the tooth. Nobody wants a Lincoln, and it probably needs to join Mercury in the graveyard.

It seems no amount of facts, evidence, or economic wisdom is going to convince you that your position on trade is wrong.

You're saying the tariffs couldn't have cost Ford $1B in the last year? Ford had $156B in costs in 2018. How clueless do you have to be about business and economics to think a year of tariff hikes on inputs couldn't cost them $1B. That's not even 1% of their costs.

Nope. There are tariffs because Tariff Man likes tariffs.

We already negotiated an agreement with Canada and the tariffs are still there.

Congress hasn’t ratified the agreement and probably won’t with the dims in the house
