If not let's have a review. They're like pic related.
Another nation shouldn't be your 'legs' in the first place retard.
>>541747690>We're all just parts of one organismWell there's your mistake.Or is he just implying Canada is basically an appendage of America?WTF is this retard thinking?
>Every single other nation on the planet uses them>But when the U.S uses them its bad for some reason
>>541747823first post best post, never fails.
>>541747690Are you transphobic or something?Not everyone identifies as having 2 legs ok?
xkcd is for midwits
All forms of taxation (tariffs, income tax, VAT, etc.) seem stupid when you ignore their purpose, which is to raise money for the government.
>>541747690You cut it off because it's infected and letting in parasites into your body (chinese subsidized crap, drugs etc) while refusing to even let you help fix it.
>>541747690>I’m with her
I think there’s nothing wrong with strategic Tarrifs on certain industries. In fact it’s common sense. Problem is when you do a blanket Tarrifs on everything. So if I order something not available in America or relatives send me a package, I don’t understand why I have to pay tariffs since it wouldn’t affect any American industry
>>541748365If a nation is fully autarkic then blanket tariffs might make sense. No nation has the resources to be fully autarkic with a modern economy.
>>541747919Parts of Canada are better integrated with the US than other parts of the US.>what is a nation, anywayUh oh, a question that isn't direction-brained. Wat do, pivot to an ad hominem or something
tarriffs only work if you apply them to shit your oponent NEEDS to sell to your people. they do not work if your people NEED whatever your opponent is selling, you're just fucking with your own.weird that nobody gets this simple conceptif US buys bananas from shithole and shithole NEEDS to sell the bananas to US, but people are kinda meh about them, can get them from somewhere else, yes, tariffs work. shithole no more sell to USif some country makes vital medicine that US cannot get from anywhere else, and said country already has clients all over the world, if you impose tariffs then it fucks with your own, less with said countrythank you for coming to my ted talk cunts
>>541747823Then build your own iPhones faggot.
>>541748365>As long as it only affects others, it's ok, but holy fuck, if it costs me even a cent, FUCK MY NATION!Rub your hands even harder and maybe you'll get "free" heat.>>541747943Canada has threatened to increase the tolls they charge for passage through locks between the Great Lakes and the Atlantic. Turns out Canada uses US locks elsewhere in the Great Lakes for free but has been charging us to use their locks. Now we're going to start charging reciprocation tolls on Canadian ships using US locks. Before the threat, Canada got to charge what we permitted them to use for free. Now there's going to be charges for them. Brilliant move Canada!
>>541748509A bit unequally.
>>541747690Why do other countries impose "retaliatory tariffs? OP? Why?
>>541748543>Then build your own iPhones faggot.iphones are for poor people who larp as wealthyandroid is good enough and the hardware actually could be made here
>>541747690The main problem with Trump's tariffs is that so far it's just been used to illicit bribes from other countries and international companies. https://youtu.be/RPzcGeiNYvk?is=5P6bNywmWnPCf4Q8
>>541747690The person made this is a globalist traitor to his country. He doesn't believe in nations or borders or that the state is accountable to its citizens over alien foreigners. He is scum.
>>541747823Autarky has been tried

>>541748522>tarriffs only work if you apply them to shit your oponent NEEDS to sell to your people. they do not work if your people NEED whatever your opponent is selling, you're just fucking with your own.>weird that nobody gets this simple conceptThat's only helpful if the tariff is only against a country which can supply a good but alternative suppliers exist, but even then it's only a weak form of sanction.The main point of tariffs is to encourage local production, so tariffing bananas if you can't grow them in your country serve little purpose except maybe pushing people towards other food items and a small tax boost.
>>541748962Lick the boots harder pajeet lol
>>541747823This one liner sounds quippy and righteous but is not a solution. Just a vapid migger moralism.
>>541749086The main point of tariffs is to raise money for the government.If you want to encourage local production of some good then the best way to do that is to completely ban its importation, not merely tax those importing it.
>>541748543Brown people have the weirdest AI fantasies
>>541748663You completely missed the point, miggernigger. Typical miggernigger IQ ;sub-120, not even human)
>>541747690Why would we treat a foreign country as part of our own? Are you stating they are just an apendage of the United States?
>>541749196It takes years to start producing anything in quantity, if it's industrial it might take decades.If you ban something critical, say steel rebar and cement, and your nation can't produce it in sufficient quantity and quality your nation will collapse.
>>541747690There isn't even a wikipedia page in german language about Trumps tarrifs.
>>541749191Its so concise and powerful, you have to spend more words kvetching and offer no counter...
>>541749331If tariffs limit supplies then you'll also face shortages. If they don't then there's little incentive for local producers to do anything.
>>541747823Yeah this is a shit analogy. The fuck does Canada do for us? Do people understand what a net negative means? It means if we nuked Canada into a glass parking lot we’d be financially ahead immediately.
>>541749505Tariffs don't limit supplies, they raise the prices making local production more attractive giving them more business and encouraging growth.
>>541749652Raising prices limits supplies, if they're raised high enough to be noticeable. If you can't afford to import enough to meet demand then it's no consolation that in theory if you had more money then you could have more of what you need, because in reality you don't.
>>541749824Are you too stupid to understand my posts?You obviously aren't supposed to raise the tarrifs to such levels that no one can afford the product if your local economy can't produce enough to cover demand.Let's say your country can produce and sell good x at market value + 3%. Without tariffs most customers prefer to buy foreign x because they can buy it at market value. With a 5% tariff that will reverse.Many goods that are commonly put under tariff are far more volatile than the typical tariffs are set at.
>>541750188If prices aren't raised high enough then people will be slightly poorer but there's little incentive for local producers to do anything. There need to be serious consequences to importation if it's to have any effect. Anyway, while the most effective way to encourage local production would be a complete ban, if that's too drastic then quotas easily solve that problem, and much more effectively than tariffs. BUT quotas are less favored because they don't raise money for the government, which is the main point of tariffs.
>>541750606Ok, you've conceded pretty much everything I claimed and changed your claims to only be other alternatives are more effective than tariffs.This is an anonymous board, you shouldn't argue to win, you should have a discussion to learn and teach. What a fucking waste of time it's been talking to you.
>>541750912I said from the very beginning that there are alternatives more effective than tariffs:>If you want to encourage local production of some good then the best way to do that is to completely ban its importation, not merely tax those importing it.I guess the conversation ran a little long so I can't blame you for forgetting.
