Thank you for sharing this, laughed my ass off

No offense but I don’t think you’ve read the article.

20% less cheap, unless you go to a European country that is not in the EU and that country didn’t put a tariff on US yachts.

Unless the Canadian government put a tariff on US/EU yachts they’re still as cheap as ever.

You’d be right if everything is grown and made everywhere. And there are plenty of luxury goods where it would be better if people didn’t make a big deal out of it like with french champagne and Italian marble. It is also weird with clothing, the US and EU have plenty of fashion companies that could theoretically make a profit even if only selling in their home market. But where ever the brand is from, most clothing is made outside of US and EU. Why? The cost of labour. And you’ll need some very high import duties if you want to counter them low wages.

Tariffs are basically import duties usually for a specific group of products from a specific country or region, the reason they counter the US tariffs is to pressure them into excluding them. So yes they hit European citizens with this tax, but because they buy less they also ‘punisg’ the company selling the products. The goal is to get the US to be nice to them, by showing them what it feels like if the US isn’t nice to them. It’s a bit like ‘if I can’t play with your toys, you can’t play with mine’.

Thanks, can you also recommend good almonds while you’re at it?

But they still ‘import’ the provided service. I wonder if they can actually manage to get a company like netflix to pay import duties on foreign (read: us) made content, but if they find a way we’re talking about a serious amount of money.

Scaled gives me some super niche posts with two or three upvotes sandwiched between the same posts I see when I sort by active, which is not always bad but not necessarily what I want either. If I feel like I need content I go for new or top 6/12/24 hr.

China is trying to make lemonade with Trump’s lemons:

“Global unity can triumph over trade tyranny,” declared an editorial in the state-run newspaper China Daily, noting Beijing’s collaborations with Japan, South Korea and other Asian economies. A separate piece called for the European Union to work with it to “uphold free trade and multilateralism”.

Beijing urges India to ‘stand together’ in response to US trade pressure, marking a notable shift in tone amid strained ties since the 2020 Galwan clash.

A bright business man might turn this problem around by buying another truck for his business, an even brighter one would then start a new business doing the exact same thing except this new business only does roofing for nazi’s and an even brighter one might charge these nazi’s extra because he comes by your house in a secondhand (wink wink) swastikar.
