What?

No, the manufacturer pays the tariff, but they also raise the price of their goods to compensate (meaning the consumer effectively pays the tariff and is the one actually out of pocket).

Take (for example) Apple and iPhones (which are manufactured primarily in China).

The iPhone 13, priced at $800 USD, costs Apple about $526 to produce. When considering other expenses like R&D, marketing, and administrative costs, the profit per iPhone 13 is approximately $161, translating to a 20% profit margin.

Now assume Trump imposes a 50 percent tariff on iPhones.

The tariff applies to production costs, and not to final RRP. Apple, now have a roughly 260 USD tariff to pay to the US Government for every iPhone they want to import into the USA.

A 50 percent tariff on their manufacture will see Apple increase the price of iPhones by around 20 percent (globally) with the increased premium paid by customers in the USA, Europe, Australia and the rest of the World offsetting the increased cost of manufacture.
The second quote is what I responded to, where you say there is an increased cost of manufacture. I don't believe the US has much ability to impose an increased manufacturing cost on a product made in another country. So the tariff is paid by the importer isn't it? In your apple example, it just so happens that the manufacturer and the importer are the same. Perhaps that is where you are getting confused?
 
How many Ukrainians have to die before Russia is kicked out Donbas and Crimea? And what would Russia's response be if that were to happen? They are a nuclear power after all.

History is littered with stupid decisions that had catastrophic consequences.
 
The socmedia age legislation may backfire on Albo

Australia could be hit with hefty US tariffs because of its radical crackdown on social media giants, experts have warned.
On Thursday, Prime Minister Anthony Albanese’s government introduced world-first legislation into parliament to ban social media for kids under 16 which is believed to have broad bipartisan support.

Officials and diplomats now fear that with X owner Elon Musk primed for a plum position in president-elect Donald Trump’s administration, Australia could be punished with onerous tariffs.

Of course there is an increased cost. It's the tariff.

That cost then gets passed onto the consumer (just like any other manufacturing cost increase).

It was why people were opposed to the Carbon Tax. Corporations got taxed for not being environmentally conscious, they then passed that tax onto the consumer.

It doesnt matter if it's the manufacturer or the importer that pays the tax (and you're right, it's likely the importer who pays the taxes). The end result is the same.

Apple (and any importers) know what their profit margins are on their products mate. They also know how much it costs to get a product from the design stage, to Manufacuring, to importation, to store shelves, and on to the hands of a consumer. Apple are the ones setting the RRP, and they're the ones that are going to raise prices on the RRP of those products to offset the cost (to them) of the tariff.

Apple wont pay a penny more for this tariff. It'll be the consumers who pay it.

Tariffs hurt consumers because it increases the price of imported goods. Since an importer has to pay a tax in the form of tariffs on the goods that they are importing, they pass this increased cost onto consumers in the form of higher prices.

This isn't debatable mate. It's universal consensus that Tariffs increase the cost of products to the consumer (with the cost being passed down to the consumer).

The positive impact of making imported stuff more expensive, is that it makes locally made things more competitive (which it will, to a limited extent).

Nothing gets cheaper. It's just most things get a lot more expensive, making locally made stuff more attractive by comparison.

The reality is that Apple, Samsung, Sony, LG, Nike, Adidas, Reebok, Toyota, GM, Harley Davidson etc etc are not going to suddenly open up manufacturing plants in the USA again, on account of the tariffs, and a lot of USA startups and small businesses (that manufacture or import their products in/ from China) are going to go out of business.

Corporations will offset the price hike to the consumer, who will pay for the tariff (with consumers being worse off).

The USA government is going to make a ton of money though. That's also for certain.
 
Read paragraph 13 closer.

''DeCarlo looked around and threw a smoke bomb. Ochs did the same.''

Yep I missed that when I read it the first time. I must have been in a hurry. Apologies. No response from you BTW about your libelous claims regarding WUSA9?

Finally, I was serious about the beer pic BTW. What was it? Pale Ale?

Perhaps Elon Musk will start Phone X. Or consumers will buy cheaper products not made in china. Or delay the purchase of items.

The cost of living is already rising beyond the means of many. Increased cost doesn't necessarily mean the consuming of a product stays at curernt levels.

Maybe Trump will be the herald of the end of consumerism.
 
Donald Trumps 4 foreign policy platforms are:

1. Appease Russia by giving them half of Ukraine (emboldening Putin and strengthening Russia, while also encouraging North Korea and China to seek to annex South Korea and Taiwan respectively)
Don't worry, I was assured in this very thread that China aren't militant.

Cybertruck MAGA edition? They should be considered a commercial vehicle in Australia so we won't have to pay the luxury car tax for them here. And I would assume they will sell like hot cakes over in the US. Honestly that's a great idea, you should mock up some designs and pitch it to Elon.
