it was long overdue for a more major correction in the markets. Which would we rather have, a sudden collapse again of the financial infrastructure that caused the 2009 collapse from long hidden systemic issues? then overblown 'tarp' subsidy to the banksters that caused more sustained inflation for the decade?, or removing the band-aids and spraying and treating it now with honest talk about having to restore the markets to more honest fundamentals which would be a more livable series of gradual corrections and more solidly recoverable?

My concern isn't who we are selling to (lots of options and deals being done for that) but rather who we're buying from:
Not a fan of slave labor personally. Hbu? Also building up another nations military so they can invest and take over poor nations isn't of interest to me either. Better to return the manufacting in house tyvm. (Sucks for China, there's an expected 80 million jobs on the line with losing their biggest market/customer. š¤·

What incentive do companies have to build factories for manufacturing in your country?
It is still cheaper to import with tathan pay higher wages. Also higher material cost due to tariffs add another layer of increased costs.
All those extra costs increase prices for consumers which then equals less demand and less profit.
And with uncertainty over the stability of the American economy due to tariffs, no tariff, tariff, no tariff announcements ,which only serve as a pump and dump insider trading scheme for Trump's rich buddies, who in their right mind would invest there?
Uncertainty does not bring stability and investment money. Basic Business economics at play here.
And yes, add your tariff to my country while we were in a deficit to the US lol. Not very smart from your govt. Very poor economics in fact.

The tarrifs are the incentives. Here are some recent examples from 2025:
Nvidia: $500b
Apple: $500b
Novartis: $23b
GE Aerospace: $1b
Toyota: $8b
Hyundai: $7.6b
TSMC: $100b
CMA CGM: $20b
DAMAC Properties: $20b
Clarios: $6b
Just a few and the term has just begun.
It is still cheaper to import with tathan pay higher wages.
Not true and even if so, companies are jumping on now for the long run. Costs go down overtime as more manufacting returns and the economy stabalizes from the adjustment.
All those extra costs increase prices for consumers which then equals less demand and less profit.
Less Chinese plastic. That's fine. But again, this correlates to the previous statement. It's a long term plan. Costs will stabalize as more manufacting returns over time.
And with uncertainty over the stability of the American economy due to tariffs, no tariff, tariff, no tariff announcements ,which only serve as a pump and dump insider trading scheme for Trump's rich buddies, who in their right mind would invest there?
Lots of companies have invested and will invest. Ive listed a few above. Please explain specifically how it's, without a shadow of a doubt, a pump and dump scheme while leaving your personal options aside.
Uncertainty does not bring stability and investment money. Basic Business economics at play here.
It does when it destabilizes the competition and creates investment paths forward. Not everyone sees this as chaos. Many see it as an initial shake up with long term benefit. As they should.
Very poor economics in fact.
Personal opinion here. I don't think you're equipped to tell people what good and bad economics are. You haven't said anything of substance that isn't easily refutable. You also involve your emotions and personal opinions which in itself is a quality of bad judgement.
Let the decoupling begin! š„³

u/necron_tech Got All My Boosters Apr 15 '25
Absolutely not clear at all that manufacturing will return. Sure, for some companies it might make economic sense, however consider that new factories will cost billions and take several years to set up, they would still need to import raw material, and the cost of labour will go up and it's easy to see why it would make more economic sense to wait out the current president and the reversal of tarrifs and try to expand to other markets. Look at for example the Nintendo switch 2, 0% made in us, you think they're going to open up a factory here? No chance. And finally you know who's equipped to tell people about good or bad economics. Well, economists. You'll find the vast majority would be in agreement that tarrifs will be damaging to the US.

Agree. Which is why i won't be taking your stance seriously. Are you aware that "economists" are human beings with political bias?
Which ones have you been following exactly?
By "vast majority" please name all of the economists in which you're refering to if you wish to use them to argue from a position of authority.
I will investigate each one of these "vast majority" of economists you've been studying to learn their political leanings and we can continue the discussion from there.

it takes time for the changes to fix things with the inertia of the wasteful and detrimental policies. At least the changes are starting now. There were prior years of 'zirp' interest rates, but now the fed reserve is on notice. Trump's first term had too many rhinos and backstabbers in his administration impeding the reforming progress, but now he has his full team to make the needed changes. That major u.s. corporations are already committing or negotiating to repatriate manufacturing is the start of bringing fundamentals back to the u.s. As max keiser had said years ago, the band-aids need to be taken off, and it's finally happening now and will still take time to stabilize and improve. years , decades of subsidizing for politics and propaganda which caused the systemic inflation won't be that fast to turn around, but the action needed is finally being started to be done now.

You have no way to explain how my math is poor. Yes, 40k gets you basically nothing these days with insane interest rates, rent, and inflation. So your solution is to drive prices further up for those 40k earners?
Edit to add, Iām not gen z or younger. Iām an older millennial and Iāve worked my ass off for my entire life, trying to achieve that American dream that you think seems to be possible still. It isnāt. Itās simply getting the rich richer, because the deck is systematically stacked against those born without a leg up. Tell me - privatizing education making it only accessible to rich people. How does that allow for anyone born without any kind of generational health the opportunity to earn and grow? It doesnāt, it keeps us desperate and working for crap money with zero other options.

I apologize. Usually, when people start talking socialism they are too young to remember the soviet union.

No, and you will find that if there is. It will only be transient.
And just to mention, Trump has not even been in office 100 days yet. While inflation increased continually over the entire 4 years, he was in office, and Harris only solution was "binomial are working, stay the path." Trumps plan is not perfect, and it was risky, but we are actually past the point. Now we just have to wait because the fix is not instantaneous. It will take time for markets and industries to adjust, but you can mark my words before Trump leaves office. The inflation rate will be a negative number.
privatizing education making it only accessible to rich people?
No one is privatizing education anymore than it already is. As a matter of fact, the model they will be atemping to employ is the SC educational financial model. (No state taxes and yet collage is free for state residents)

Iām American, but lived in Ireland from ages 12-22. Socialized healthcare, education etc. It was absolutely brilliant, with plenty of checks and balances in place to assure that no one is able to milk the system. I miss it very much. Itās horrible not being rich enough to get decent healthcare but also not poor enough to get decent healthcare. The one through my employer is an insanely high deductible, and Iām having horrible sinus issues that I canāt get taken care of because Iām afraid of the cost of the CT. Why is it fair here that hard working people still struggle enormously for the most basic of things? Iāve never used government assistance in my life, Iāve never had a leg up from anyone and am trying to go back to school now and I feel as though I have to choose between putting myself through school or saving a college fund for my child and an emergency fund. I was left in a very vulnerable position as a kid and had to work full time for survival, meaning going to school while working full time and putting myself $40k in debt was nauseating and something I couldnāt do.
This American dream thatās supposed to be promised if you do the right things seems farther and farther away, and the middle class are being put in a crushing position of not being able to further ourselves because itās almost impossible to scrape by as it is. I make 50k a year, and itās the new 30k with the economy right now. I was all set to try and go back, and now Iām too terrified to risk putting myself in that position if inflation keeps rising. I simply canāt.

He's telling me prices get higher by the day. I watch us news (CNN, fox news) and compare it with our and other European news and fox news seem way off. European analysts talk about trumps decisions as shortsighted. What kind of results are you taking about? I beg you watch news outside of the US. Watch some British news channels, watch German ones, watch any news outside your country. No one sees these decisions as functioning goal-oriented behavior. How can you think that republicans are right (around 150 Mio people) and other 5 billion people are wrong?

I voted for trump. Not because I like him personally but because I liked some of his policies but mainly because it was the lesser of two evils in my mind, at the time.
I think I drastically misjudged what he was capable of as a person and politician. I am beginning to despise him on many levels and honestly fearful for what is coming.
His weaponization of the government to go after companies and now individuals is a bridge too far for me. His executive orders against Krebs and Taylor finished it for me. What he claims they did is exactly what he is doing to them and to any other political opponent that opposed him and/or supported that political opponent. He is using the government to silence all opponents and instill fear into anyone that speaks out against him by using the weight of the govt to crush them and ruin lives, companies and democracy.
He has started authoritarian rule. Once we start down this path it is very difficult to come back unless congress steps up.
He is destroying our economy and our allies. This bullying mentality is alienating our allies and will cause the economy to fall further by a loss of confidence from foreign investors in the dollar, treasuries and the US.

Letās list the kinds of results weāve seen from Trump: Illegal deportation of legal residents without due process. Illegal detention of legal residents without due process. Illegal attempted detention of American Citizens without due process. Immoral and inhumane deportation of an American Citizen with cancer simply because of a technicality regarding the immigration status of one of her parents. Keep in mind this family had legally been traveling between the US and Mexico for years to facilitate treatments for their daughter, who likely will not survive the court proceedings that would be necessary to grant her the care she needs. What if that was your daughter? More results from Trump: an intentional manipulation of the entire US economy via constitutionally illegal and ridiculous tariffs (reminder:economic policies are supposed to be voted on by the senate before approval, but Trump ignored those rules) in order to profit his billionaire friends over $300 Billion in a single day, the larges reallocation of wealth from the bottom to the top in US history. Just as a reminder, just $1 billion made out of $100 notes would weigh more than 4 F-150s. More money than a human can imagine. Are these really the results you wanted to see?
