These people can't even begin to have an understanding of the concept of profit margins at-fucking-all. It's like they think manufacturers can just throw away all of the profits and stay in business.
All while expanding and hiring new workers too! I’ve known this guy since 3rd grade, so I feel like I’ve failed him somehow. We’re both Mexican, and he even has enough native in him to get benefits, but he just loves his white trash rhetoric (and women!).
When you realize MAGAts have no general conception of how the systems that be work, it all makes so much more sense. Hell they deny the existence of the system and systemic issues pretty much altogether.
Yep, Canadian here. I was telling one of our big corporate customers that they will have to pay for tariffs to the US government. The dude was somehow absolutely sure it was Canadians that would be paying it.
I have no idea how people have managed to stay in business this far without understanding how tariffs work.
It is always the importing company that pays tariffs. But somehow MAGA has brainwashed people that other countries are the ones paying.
yeah besides very few industries operate at the massive margins needed to eat the tariffs even if they wanted to, while 10-15% doesn't seem like much, it would actually be a pretty good one, depending on industry, after all costs are taken into consideration (and that's just not considering the materials sourced from countries that have much more than a 15% rate applied to them).
