What was the tax rate if you bought things made in the US with US materials?
- hypeatei 8mo agoWhat if there was no alternative that was US-made? Even if there was a US version, you'd still pay more regardless. This goes against one of the main grievances in the 2024 cycle: prices are too high.
- mindslight 8mo agoThe same as the tax rate on a blessing of unicorns that I also couldn't buy. Our domestic manufacturing industry is so far gone, it's doubtful whether even skillfully-applied tariffs could encourage any of it to come back on their own. Never mind this clown show, which apparently didn't even do the basic political work to make sure the tariffs would stay in place more than a year, despite having both houses of Congress.

- SV_BubbleTime 8mo agoHow many bananas have you been eating since tariffs were put in place?
