Are we ignoring the community note?

Well i exampled how this is the exact same as other countries who tariff us. This is a tax on their people that conviently results in our industries having a hard time selling over their domestic industries. How is being reciprocal in action considered such a detrement over what they already do besides just polical bias and nervousness of markets? That nervousness comes from ANY changes introduced and if noone can pridict the outcome then we also cant predict the impact being positive or negative. My position is any change is worth it as we are obviously loosing anyways. So why so much resistance to attempt to turn things around. Hope for the best and try your best to buy american just like foriegn markets are reacting and lets see where the dust settles. Deals can evolve so this stern stance isnt as detrimental as some would convey. As for your solution. Seems extremely short term and standard to what has always been. New tech is great and will give us a boost but will end up becoming watered down and stolen or companies will just outsource labor after using our innovation same as always. Our "unsurpassed" workers will do specialized work here and the rest will be done dirt cheap outside to maximize profits and slap a false "made" in america badge. If i had a idea on how to prevent this long term it would be exactly the same. Major surcharge to be in our huge spend happy american market that would cut or eliminate profits from slave labor making companies rethink the workforce and corporate operation options they have.

So if tariff is too volatile whats the solution? Why do we just accept things like Chinese slave labor and censorship as a normalized "tariff" companies must abide by or other countries protecting their domestic industry against outside markets but we are just suppose to offer free trade to all as is? The only difference is the normalization. Any change results in uncertainty, so i just hope any waves settle over time. People will always scream doom and gloom about them as they sway the boat but they are required to turn it around if you have been gently floating towards a waterfall.

Im not thrilled with the tariff plan. If it was going after particular sectors and hostile countries i think it would be different but going after everyone simultaneously while also creating major uncertainty doesnt sound like a sound strategy, especially in the short term. At the same time we have heard for decades how US industries must grovel on their knees under Chinese censorship. How in covid we were incapable of supplying basic needs internally and destroyed under lockdowns. Seeing high percentage of foreign industries this country founded driving in our streets while other nations strictly have their own. We are nothing but service sectors and buying other counties garbage on our overbloated credit cards. Not to mention biden kept many of the original tariffs from trump and back then they were screaming doom and gloom over them as they are now. So what part of the economy mentioned are we pleased with? It doesn't seem sustainable and industries that many here were certain would revolutionize it have crashed and burned our tax money. Should we throw a few more trillion at the charging station industry and green dream sectors that havent given return after a full throttle backing of the last administration? All i can hope is they know what they are doing. Anyone who thinks this country isnt going to need some drastic changes to make a difference isnt paying attention. Sit back as more companies announce closers and major investments outside our country. Just demand that we just need "them" to pay their fair share to pour more funds into social programs as our debt swallows us whole. the stock market will be nice and steady in the meantime. Sorry kids.

$100? Peanuts. I spit on that everyone knows the price for votes was set at student loan payoffs and green cards.

Well i only ask because i come from a industrial skill trade background. I was in a industry that desperately wanted to move from old machinery to new. From my perspective it was pretty interesting to see how new over engineered machines were just as needy for human intervention.. and definitely more costly to run. As to not mention specific examples you probably know nothing about ill ask a question? Does your modern car require less manpower then your first? All the sensors, computer operation, blue tooth connected, extra parts and labor to get to? These all require more specialist to design and fix then a simple car that you yourself could maintain back in the day. I could of swore flying self aware cars that order parts and fix themselves was right around the corner by now. Automation requires everything goes perfect all the time. forever. Any error or change in a system requires human intervention. A single valve on a stack leaks and you need a mechanic to asses. A jamup or error needs a operator to jog, home and reset. A single wire or switch..in the hundreds a machine uses, needs a electrician. Any change required in part or action needs programmers and plc specialists and setups. Maybe one day office, payroll, ordering, saftey and managment will be completely automated but as of now those systems are used as tools that steamline things but require humans to oversee implement and maintain. IMO We are not eliminating human intervention for a very long time. decreasing it, yes. Thats true. if automation and high tech was so attactive and in such high demand then why are companies flocking to run to third world countries to begin with? they are not going to beacons of technology areas of the world. They are simply going to places that can exploit HUMAN workers in PLACE of costly machines and automation. If thats true then why would you not be for any effort that supplies that human need, at a modern standard of living, to an american citizen? So Regardless of whether that increases or decreases over time, its better then zero. That is worth not throwing our hands up and pretending the end is near lets all kneel to our robotic overlords and give up on bringing american manufacturing or other jobs back to our country.

It will be automated? So american mechanics/office workers/management/electricians/quality/payroll/programmers ect ect can get a job, even if every production position is done by some robots? Not to mention the property and payroll taxes generated?

Homelander is typing but its billstime voice.

Its working. Im demorilized.

I think everyone would be ok with them spending 4 years in a isolation cell and requiring someone to run and win the presidency to pardon them as thier only way of getting out.

This is ludicrous! How dare a president show cars! The white house is not a parking lot! We all know Its a freaky deaky mansion where transgender people run around showing their surgically altered chests. What have we become!

Not last week.

We have someone who is sitting on the bench 8 feet away. A guy who decided to video tape and a transit cop walking right past. Yep, sounds about right for a city that will imprison people who get involved.

You tell me. Either one acomplished a successful buisness and did not need politics to become wealthy, regardless of how many times they lost and earned it back. In the meantime your career politicians accomplish nothing but garnering votes and rely on the power of their elected position to create the wealth they get.

Your confusing starting a company, employing 1000's of people, and paying taxes with being a career politician that magically became wealthy as the "system".
