  2. It doesn't work that way, and economists try and try to explain it.

  6.  @Tyler-lu4vr  These tariffs are bad news for Californians as well, and indeed for nearly everyone in the US. (I'm not sure what you're trying to say regarding California, but that's neither here nor there.)

  7.  @Tyler-lu4vr  Tariffs are taxes on importers, not foreign companies. A tariff then becomes a tax on American consumers. It's not the same as corporate taxes; those don't increase the costs of goods sold. A company might raise prices in response to higher taxes, but not usually, or at least not by the same amount that occurs due to tariffs.

  10.  @Tyler-lu4vr  That's not a rebuttal. Also, what are you trying to say regarding Holiday Inn Express? What's the significance?

  12. The prices of domestic produce, which is not necessarily the same breeds of avocados/chilies/etc., will go up as well. Tariffs are backward.

  13. You don't seem to know what communism is.

  14.  @aubadthe2750  Economic nationalism is backward. Unfortunately, populists (left or right) continue to extol it.

  15. To the extent that that's even true, it will still harm consumers. Tariffs are backward, and retaliatory tariffs don't help. Countries should drop them, unilaterally. Singapore did it. Just because your trade partner puts rocks in its harbor, thus making trade more difficult, that doesn't mean that you should do the same.
