USAToday: Egg prices going down? A dozen eggs averaged $3 last week as costs decline You can't even get your memes right.

I want to like that 10 times.

That's not horse dewormer. I won.

Oh ok. And RoboSmith is telling the FBI how computers work. There is no way you have a degree in economics and then post the stuff you post.

I'll bet you $1000 she didn't take horse dewormer.

Omg. Just no. For fuçks sake, audit a college course on economics some time. Just a basic one. I can't fix all the wrong information up there. I just don't have the time.

They domestically manufacture so much because they make imports so costly that they can't be competitive and make money.

Tariffs are taxes. Taxes aren't socialist. Price controls are, but no one is talking about that. You lied here to try and bolster your argument. No one is talking about price controls. I talked about the Supply/Demand curve. I even gave you a link to read about it because you clearly don't know what it is. And the price of oil goes up and down based on the Supply relative to Demand. Uh, yeah, they do. Once an oil well is established, the oil comes out of the ground from pressure. If the oil rig is shut down, the natural pressure will push the oil horizontally. The rig my not produce again. So, yes, oil companies do lose money on oil they produce if Demand drops. It depends on the well, but most traditional wells need $55/barrel to break even. Fracking wells are closer to $75/barrel. You just disproved yourself. I said the cost to produce is unrelated to the cost to consumers. You just said the producer is eating the cost. That aligns with what I said and not your earlier statement that the cost will be passed on. And you are back to saying the cost will always be passed on. Again, it's dependent on Supply, demand and price elasticity.

Lmao...wow. You need to take an economics course bad. https://www.economicsonline.co.uk/competitive_markets/supply-and-demand-curves-explained.html/ Notice, the cost to produce has no role in the price the consumer pays. I explained that. Read for comprehension.

No. They used trade imbalance to determine the reciprocal rate. But the tariff is a reciprocal rate in most cases. Some are for countries that have unfair trade practices. Know what you are talking about if you are going to be made about.

You seem to think cost to produce = cost to consumer. Let's be very clear. The consumer pays what the market demands. The cost to produce (a tariff is about production cost) is only a factor when determining profit.

These are reciprocal tariffs. If it wasn't for the other country having a tariff on our goods, we would be competitive. If we weren't competitive, why would they need a tariff on us?

Just curious. Does anyone want to tackle this question. If tariffs are so bad, why is China, who applies more tariffs to foreign goods than any other nation, about to become the world #1 economy?

Oh wow. You've never even taken a college level economics course, have you? Like, none of that is Austrian, Keynesian or anything recognizable to economic theory. It's just a bunch of crap you spit out. First, you don't pay for tax cuts. The money wasn't theirs to begin with. Second, the tariffs (in large part) aren't permanent. They are restorative. We have trade imbalances with nearly every country. Giving domestic production a cost advantage is like paying yourself from your paycheck. When/if a country lowers their punitive tariffs, so do we. In the end, a fairer trade is established.

To borrow from last years trend, "tell me you know nothing about economics without saying I know nothing about economics." The cost to the producer can be passed along IF the consumer is willing to pay it. However, ever cost to consumer increase results in less demand. How much less depends on the necessity of the product, the consumers' excess cash on hand and several other factors. It is not automatic that a producer can pass on costs. Two good examples are diamonds and eggs. Diamonds have a very low price elasticity. Increased prices result in severe drops in demand because a diamond is not necessary. But eggs can go up because they are a necessary food item. Believe it or night, the rise in the cost of eggs is more likely to reduce demand in cars than it is eggs.

Really? How? It's not about limited circumstances or whether or not an importer is willing to eat the cost. It is about price elasticity (go ahead and Google it) and comparative cost analysis (Google that too while you are at it). Yes, we know. The guy that is literally Hitler (because he's not at all like Hitler just like Hitler wasnt like Hitler so they are the same) killed us all. Whatever. The grown ups are in charge now. Go play with your toys and let us do what needs to be done.

Can you? Can you?

No. I'm not in la la land. Why do you think I didn't expect a reaction from the markets? More accurately, a negative reaction. I explained, before he was elected, that tariffs may or may not cause a rise in cost to consumer. I also said that long term, tariffs drive up domestic production. Two days is nothing. Do like me, see the opportunity and buy the shìt out of everything.

Lmao. The difference between you and me is that when i describe liberal behavior it's from a position of observation. When you describe conservative behavior it's from a position of projection.

Biden increased Trump's tariffs.

In 2018 they said this: The fact is that steel and aluminum spike momentarily and then came back down to pre tariff levels. USA steel and aluminum jobs increased. Lmao..ok...Hitler just caused the great depression. Younl guys love your hyperbole.

Stock market crashes are the best time to make money. It will go back up. It's like buying a TV on sale. But my initial point was that tariffs that are excessive and conditional, force behavior. What's funny is that you guys are arguing that tariffs don't work by telling us how they've changed behavior. If they are stupid or desperate enough to sell, I will buy. It's going back up.
