Business, Economics, and Tax Policy 8: Bezos Takes Over the World

[joecct]

So my Uncle is the CEO of a company whose products are made in China, as are nearly all of his competitors. Prices are already high and he said the trump tariffs are poised to add 45%.
So he’s already arranged to move to factories in Vietnam. Changeover happens already this summer.

And all those Chinese bureaucrats whose life depends on dipping into the trade cash flow are going to be very upset.

Awful...thoughts and prayers.

But those American farmers are sure going to love their Socialism.

that's all great until the Trump Turds realize they can't afford a 52" flat screen that's made in the U.S.A. to hang in their trailer.

Yikes, he's writing on a site that hosts Ben Shapiro, David Limbaugh, and Larry Elder. Pat has fallen back to AAA in the wingnut leagues. Perhaps AA. It's sad to see an aging star trying to hang on in the bus leagues.

You mean that extra $2 a month from tax cut won’t cover it???

A 52 inch made in the US is either going to cost $3500 or be made out of old tires and baling wire by Walmart greeters.

Yeah, I’m gonna guess more companies move to Vietnam than come to the US.

<blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Billions of Dollars, and moving jobs back to the USA where they belong. Other countries are already negotiating with us because they don’t want this to happen to them. They must be a part of USA action. This should have been done by our leaders many years ago.

Do we have unions anymore? I assumed the working class voted to outlaw them because they gargle their owners' balls now.

Stop me if you've heard this before:
Top management spends lavishly while making life complete hell for their employees by shorting pension funding and having low/stagnant wages.

Oliver North has to be the one leaking this to the press. Don't like the guy but when a-holes start chasing a-holes the only thing to do is grab some popcorn and watch the show!
