I thought we literally couldn't do this also, wouldn't this effectively mean that this will have almost no impact on the price of steel in the US and probably won't even save the jobs it was supposed to save?

DreamShipWrecked posted:I'm not entirely sure how that would work, the tarrifs are on things that we are importing from China, right? Wouldn't they just recoup the prices by making their goods slightly more expensive? My wife is a buyer for a major home decor retailer, and yes both the suppliers and the retailers are operating on tiny margins so the tariffs will be directly reflected in the prices. While most of the things she buys are still from China they have been sourcing some items from other southeast Asian countries, and that may increase. Also many of those retailers have their own product development departments which get to decide where they manufacture, and this may cause them to manufacture more things outside of China (but still definitely not in the US). Her team's biggest concern is the headache of traveling there. Right now the visa situation is easy, but during previous trade kerfuffles I guess China has made the process more tedious in retaliation.

CommieGIR posted:NPR is running an article on John Bolton and his link to Russian Gun Rights videos Don't Russians have like zero rights to own guns? What is a Russian gun rights organization? Does it actually advocate for Russians being able to have guns? Are they able to appear in public and advocate for this in Russia, or advertise on TV and in print? Or is it just some kind of sham to funnel money from Putin and Russian oligarchs to Trump, the GOP and the U.S. NRA? Also, to the poster who asked "why oh why is Trump so deferential to Putin and Russia" I think most of us feel like it's a combination of: -Trump's wealth is entirely derived from Russian oligarchs, money laundering etc. and he probably has huge debt to those same sources -P tape (and probably other sexual stuff that is on tape) is real, and Trump is blackmailed due to this and financial shenanigans, giving Putin huge leverage over him -All above leverage nonwithstanding, Trump honestly admires Putin and other powerful dictators who can do whatever poo poo they want, corrupt or otherwise, with their countries.
