I cannot get over that you responded to a chart showing that median wages are the highest they've been in 40 years (in basically the richest country in the history of the world) by saying no no, listen to my conjecture about replacing apocryphal high earning factory jobs with Amazon jobs. I cannot believe it. You are a microcosm for why we are all f'd.
The Switch 2 isn't manufactured in Japan so it doesn't really matter if they make a deal with Japan.
It's because Vietnam, a poor country that doesn't buy any of our stuff (so their tariffs are essentially irrelevant) but where Nike shoes are actually made, is reportedly making a deal with Trump to drop tariffs. It's the opposite of what the looney tunes are saying is going to happen-- you can only reshore manufacturing jobs by making goods from elsewhere so expensive that manufacturing in a high wage country like ours becomes competitive. Are you all just 12 years old, is that the problem?Nike must be on to something…
Damn that pesky democracy.
letting people vote for who they want, and we would have gotten away with it too, if it wasn't for those meddling kids.
Countries have been talking with Trump for a while now. Canada and UK for example had been trying to work with Trump to get tariffs dropped, but still got tariffed.
I think it'll top out at 550. Nintendo won't do 600.
Is it that simple? It's most likely only assembled in Vietnam, the actual parts are coming from elsewhere - especially the important ones like GPU.
Vietnam's tariffs on the US were less than 20%, and they had already been dropping them beforehand to try to avoid the US's tariffs. Instead they got hit with 46%. They could make a deal to reduce the US tariffs, sure, but if the US dropped the tariffs entirely then that kind of defeats the plan of bringing manufacturing jobs back to the US. (assuming that was ever his plan to begin with).
Only thing that matters is where final assembly is.
I don't think they'll delay it, the US is their biggest market, it's just too important. They may have to get creative tho.
I won't respond because the guy has zero knowledge of what Americans have gone through protecting the entire world while constantly getting screwed in return. I'm not saying we're better at all, but when you are constantly paying to help everyone else and you get screwed in return something has to change
What is this persecution complex that somehow the world is scamming the US?
We are the richest country in the world. The post wwii international order, which was our design, has led to the greatest era of peace and prosperity the world has ever known. That benefitted us! How are we getting screwed?!
Don't pretend that your wars hasn't report you benefits. Your industrial complex of weaponry has feed you and the dollar. Trust me, you're gonna miss this decades if Cheeto goes on and the dollar loses its status of worldwide reserve currency. And I'm not talking about a 599$ Switch. And btw, the world isn't screwing you. You are one of the richest countries ever. Your problems with healthcare (that you invest more than almost everyone) and inequity are structural to how you guys build your whole system. Down to city design even.
I have no idea about who you're talking, i've never seen said thread and i don't know the context of any of this, but: Man, reading this line almost killed me.
Likely gonna be made on 3nm too aka longer batery life/cooler unit, 2027 or 2028 tsmc will have capabilities to do it.
I meant indiscriminate in the sense they apply to all goods, not just those in particular industries. (Apart from a small number of specific exemptions) Additionally however they apply to imports generally, not just those originating from China.

My comment on the first page was deleted, but why? Hey Mods suck my salty balls
Fucking cocksuckers
Stfu u have no idea.
Make no mistake, it's essential that we stop hemorrhaging our money. Today the average american has lost 90% of their purchasing power vs equities since 1980.
This is the fundamental problem, when western society moved away from a production economy to a financialization world. People are trapped in a game where they will always lose because governments are overspending and central banks are printing your money away to pay that debt while you're stuck with disposable income to subscribe netflix, buy Switch 2 but unable to buy assets.

That's a very simplified version of international trade and it'd be like that if Nintendo wasn't distributing herself. For example in the early 90s Nintendo was distributed in Spain by a company called ERBE. In that case that worked like that since Nintendo probably didn't want to risk a exchange currency loss due to the weak third world currency we had before the Euro (see Resident Evil 4 for reference). Nowadays a subsidiary of Nintendo Japan distributed in all major markets, so any change in currency or tariffs affects their benefits. The retailers are all buying that local subsidiary of Nintendo.
Not just that, the EU has a trade deficit with America when it comes to services. Microsoft, Amazon, Google, Apple, Facebook, and many others are popular in the EU and used everywhere. When you factor in goods and services the difference in trade between the EU and the USA is tiny, approximately 3%.
And Europe because they like the fucking parity between dollar- Euro
