Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Yes, but the CEOs will save on their taxes, and that’s all that matters. /s
I have a theory that all this expense alone is gonna hit earnings and crater everything. I'm not a perma-bear Michael Burry tinfoil hat type but it's simply gonna be a shitload of money getting thrown around with no revenue to account for it right when everyone's turning to creative means to sustain quality earnings such as layoffs. Sounds like a big dumb storm
Honestly, I can't wait for Michael Dell and others whose companies heavily leverage China to have an all out fucking tissyfit over the fallout from this.
Surely it's easier to hit a target if you move toward it
I want to know the companies that are moving factories cause they is not easy and not cheap either. Even with a 100% tariff it would still be cheaper for my business to stay where we are. Raising prices has got to be the solution for at least 90% of them.
The one that has confirmed they're moving is Steve Madden and they've been apparently planning for over a year in anticipation of tariffs, moving to Mexico, Brazil, and Vietnam.
