  1. So prices will stay the same and people selling metal to America will now just ‘accept less money’?

  2. @KmanB2525 I’m guessing they won’t ’accept a loss’. What will happen instead is that their prices will rise. Maybe the American market will become more active because it will become economically viable for them. Either way, prices increase. Things become more expensive: Et voila, inflation

  3. @KmanB2525 Saying tariffs don’t cause inflation is just ignoring reality. If companies could raise prices without losing customers, they would, but competition keeps that in check. Tariffs, on the other hand, force price increases by making raw materials more expensive across the board. Businesses don’t just eat those extra costs; they pass them on, which means higher prices for consumers. That’s literally inflation. Pretending otherwise is either economic ignorance or deliberate denial. You liken people against tariffs to kids who don’t want to go to school? That’s ironic, because ignoring basic economics and pretending tariffs don’t drive inflation is like refusing to learn math because it’s inconvenient. Reality doesn’t care whether you want tariffs to work, they make everything more expensive, and that’s just a fact.

  4. @ Ah, the classic ‘I won’t waste my time’ excuse, right after throwing out a completely one-dimensional definition of inflation. Yes, increasing the money supply can cause inflation, but so can supply-side factors like tariffs that drive up production costs. Acting like inflation has only one cause is just intellectual laziness. But hey, if you need to run from the discussion while pretending you ‘won,’ go ahead. Just don’t pretend it’s because you had a solid argument.

  5. @ Ah yes, the classic ‘dodge the argument and declare victory’ move. Enjoy those low prices while ignoring the broader economic trends, must be nice to cherry-pick data instead of engaging with facts. But hey, if running away makes you feel like you won, have fun with that.
