It was those very blue collar workers that wanted a Sony VCR instead of a RCA at twice the price. We did it to ourselves.
Tariffs and ammo prices?

Donny picked a fight with the wrong guy. THis is not the US vs China. This has become the US President vs the General secretary of the Chinese Communist Party(CCP) and chairman of the Central Military Commission (CMC), and the seventh president of China and thus the paramount leader of China. Xi Jinping answers to nobody. If any trade policy needed a statesman and politically savvy leader, it was this one. Donny is completely unarmed. The biggest problem is he was completely unaware of this. I am in no way advocating for China coming out on top (obviously) but Donny WILL NOT "win" this. However you want to define "win". Will China make concessions? Likely. But Donny declared war and is waiting for Xi to surrender. It ain't happening. There were innumerable ways to handle this, and Donny took the worst path possible. I guarantee one thing from this. Donny will claim a win. 100%.
You sadly underestimate a President that won the election 3 times.
And if he gets a handle on all the cheating will be the only one hopefully.

Reading through this thread I'm starting to understand why this country is $37 trillion dollars in debt with no clear path to resolve the issue. When someone wants to correct some of the things that got us here everyone jumps on them like it's a bar fight. No wonder the congress never acts.
That is getting old...None of this addresses anything I said. If your belief is he is going about this the right way to get results...fine.
But please detail your opinion on how and why Xi Jinping is going to "blink".

Isn't ther a lib tard place you would fit in better?
Absolutely do not actually address anything I said, that would make too much sense. Somebody making you read my posts? Somebody making you reply? That sucks.
Still no guarantee of critical thinking or not being manipulated by every glitzy bias confirming headline.
The cost of ammunition, reloading parts, and even firearms manufactured outside of the United States will increase, just like everything else. Nobody knows how much or for how long.
Luckily, I reload all of my guns except for the 22lr, and I've been purchasing and stockpiling primers, powder, and bullets for a while.
I estimate that I have enough parts to last for several years plus roughly 8,000 rounds of 22-inch ammunition, taking into account how frequently I fire.
I also have molds for every caliber I shoot, with the exception of 22lr, 500 pounds of casting lead, and enough coating powder to cover every bullet I would cast as a backup.

22-inch ammunition! Eeggadds man! Your gun bearers must be the size of gorillas and have arms like forklifts!
How much of that is tariff and how much is sales tax and other fees?
Seems pretty pricey for an Armanov bullet feeder.
The feeder was payed for. Who ships anything COD? Is that even a thing anymore? This all result of tariffs...glad you find it funny.

The image claims $195 in "fees and taxes" so usually this gets broken down somewhere in the billing.
It LiTeRAlLy says "fees and taxes" so not ALL OF IT is due to
"tariffs".I don't have the actual tariff on Melania's home country handy so just using 25% as an example.
Sales taxes in the US range from 0% to almost 10% with a majority of the states being somewhere between 7%-9%, using 8%.
Figuring 8% tax, $50 in random fees and a 25% tariff the base price on that bullet feeder would be somewhere around $450.
Seems pricey.
Armanov bullet feeders on their web site list for ~$249 USD but you can buy one already landed in the US for ~$350.

Sounds like a scam if it's real at all. Who sends product and hopes to recover the tax and shipping costs later?
What "random fees"? I bought an indexing cam block from them a few weeks ago, and paid no tax, just crazy shipping cost. And it was paid up front, no after the fact increase.
I'm not saying it isn't but I can't seem to find that Tesla phone for sale anywhere.
So just snap a pic of the receipt with cost breakdown of shipping, taxes and tArIFfs with your Tesla phone an post it so we can see how much is actually tariff.
easy peasy
It is not mine. He had ordered other stuff as well, case gauges, etc. So total was over $800. It was a 25% tariff.
I see.
So you are just posting pics with no actual knowledge of their source and content and making baseless claims for attention.
For all you know the image is a fake but it aligned with your trolling agenda so you jumped on it without vetting it.
You don't even know for a fact if it was a bullet feeder.
A screenshot with no carrier logo on a phone that doesn't appear to be for sale anywhere. Full disclosure I haven't searched very hard but it's not on gsmarena so there's that.
25% tariff on over $800 is over $200 and that doesn't include "fees" which is clearly listed in the "screenshot" for which the total is under $200.
(>$800 + 25% tariff + any other fees) < $200 == 0 credibility
Tariffs are very real.
I just don't believe they're as bad as you're presenting them in a picture you copy and pasted from somewhere else with no related facts.
ETA:
For future reference, I *think* the de minimis threshold value for exemption on imported goods is something like $800/person/day. Thanks to uncle Obummer for that one. I also *think* Trump recently eliminated de minimis for goods from China.
But I'm not a lawyer and I don't work for .gov or customs so it's best to verify that bit.

I don't think a lot of vendors have run out of pre tariff priced stock. I think it will be a more gradual rise over the next few months.
Either do I that's why I said smelly ....drop a half cent while raising 3 cents
Who knows. Apple and others got an exemption for electronics/chips/etc from China, and now he is saying there might be one for cars/parts. This roller coaster might be pulling into the gate right where we started.
We don't look strong in the negotiation, Trump backed down first.
Maybe we can work deals with 90-150 countries in under 90 days, each of them have to work 1 deal : (
China has stoped buying our debt and is selling it. They have $1T (edit $750B is correct) of our debt (bonds, treasury notes), if they dump it, our cost of borrowing money will go up, inflation will go up and USD will be a weaker.
Oil prices are tanking thanks to OPEC+, at least gas is coming down.

That's Japan, China has ~$750B ... but enough to have a huge effect.
That was about 2 weeks ago and, if I understand it correctly, they've stopped shipping to everyone. Not just the U.S.
Oil is a slippery slope
. If it goes much lower, US wells could begin shutting down. @ $50, production would decrease by 1,000,000 BPD. Kinda the wrong direction...
