The domestic economy will adjust and our nation will be stronger and more secure for it.

And the brightest side is the Administrative Deep State will be dismantled and excised and all the traitorous parasite scum Registered Democrats will have to find new jobs.

You have a much better grasp on this than these other people.

They act like tariffs just go "Poof". Gone.

No. The government collects them and uses them in place of taxes. And they give American manufacturers an advantage in America.

Tariffs up. Taxes down. Imports down. Probably Exports down too, but that is fine because Americans will be buying Made in USA.

As a Canadian, I would much rather buy Made in Canada. Even for repairs or warranty issues it is much easier dealing with Canadian manufacturers; no worries about shipping across a border. That works the same for Americans buying Made in USA.

Actually since Canada isnt in a trade war with all these nations I wonder if itll end up being cheaper to buy goods/ products in Canada instead of the US.

Ie - cameras, computers, graphics cards made in China/Japan

or luxury goods made in Europe.

If I could buy goods from somewhere else that are cheaper, as good or better than the US, why bother buying American if you are in Canada?

I doubt you’ll make it another 2 years. You are just another Trump golf tee. Broken and tossed

That has been exaggerated, IMO.

For instance, the labour cost to manufacture a new car is about 10-15%.

Let's take a car that retails for $50,000. The manufacturing cost would reasonably be $40,000. Now for anyone following along, I am not including costs that are incurred after the car is made, like transportation to the dealer, etc..

So we will go with the high number: 15% which is only $6,000. Now factor in the lower transportation costs, etc. and the difference of the retail price will be insignificant.

They say Made in Canada is more expensive too. I watched a Dragon's Den a few nights ago. A woman from Quebec has built a clothing company. She makes everything from recycled or eco friendly products. The "dragons" were all "Wow, this is so nice. So soft and comfortable." etc. They seemed to really like the clothes. I mean, she is selling $10mil plus per year, so they are probably nice clothes. And they are not expensive. Way less than expensive clothes that are made off-shore. When they asked her where they are made, she said "All in Canada." I think the "dragons" nearly shit their pants and panties, because they are all infested with the idea that everything has to be Made in China to be affordable.

Anyways, we will see how it goes. I think we are going to see Made in USA and Made in Canada products a lot more and we will all benefit from the quality without spending more or at least much more. And with our healthy economy we will all have a lot more to spend.

At that time, labour costs were a higher percentage.

Now, with robotics and what people like to call "AI", labour costs are much less of a percentage of the total cost of manufacturing.

I have not even mentioned the humanitarian issues with forced labour and slave wages involved with manufacturing in many off-shore countries.

Time will tell. Look, if things go bad and we are hurting financially, I will take most of my donations to Bastard Factory and send them to you instead. I will not see you starve.
