Tariffs only work when they're targeted. Japan, for example, has a 10% tarrif on the rice the US imports to them. It's to protect their own rice producers. Otherwise, the US could flood their market with cheaper rice, destroying their local rice farmers, and then jack the price up because they're now dependent on the imported good. Essentially, what China has done in the US. If the maple syrup guy in the example put their prices up to match the Canadian one, they're bad at business. The price might increase, but not to match the Canadian one because if theirs is cheaper, they'll get increased demand and make more money. Whereas if they increase to match the Canadian brand, they wouldn't make as much as they would if they kept it cheaper because they'd price out some of their consumers. As long as regulations are cut along with the tarrif, it also opens up the market for a new company to form to fill in the gap because it's created an opportunity.

@gmodrules123456789 It actually doesn't. If you look up why we pasteurized milk, it says it's because it gives a longer shelf life. It also is honest and admits the process destroys a lot of the vitamins and minerals we get from milk. They do add a bit back, but not as much as is lost. That's why you'll see "with added vitamin D." Because it's in it naturally which is why we drank it, but the process destroys it. We would have died out as species hundreds of thousands years ago if raw milk was extremely dangerous. Europeans and other groups where sunlight isn't as strong as other places started drinking it to replace what they lost from lack of sun exposure. Obviously they didn't know that's the process that was occurring. Just that they felt better when they drank it. Vitamin D deficiency causes a lot of issues like decreased energy and increased muscle pain.

@GallowayJesse It's not hitting as hard in every area. If you live where flocks weren't destroyed, or at least not a lot were, you're egg prices won't be as high. Just like milk and beef prices. Almost all of California's cattle were lost to bird flu, but if you live close to where beef is plentiful, the price won't go up much. Just remember everything sold in the grocery store has to cross state lines. Since I live in a state surrounding Texas, my beef prices haven't jumped up.

@gmodrules123456789 More business tax revenue. It also increases the number of people with higher paying jobs making them able to purchase more, including other imported goods. Only extremely high tarrifs would incentivize opening production in the US so that will only be on targeted goods. A 5-10% tarrif isn't going to do that. If that study was correct and my prices would only increase $ 1,200 a year, that's way less than I pay in income taxes. The reason it can replace my income tax is because everyone pays some of it rather than only half the population like it currently is with income taxes. Now, do I think he's going to be able to achieve it? No, but I do appreciate it now being actually discussed as a possibility and at least attempting to do something. Edit: What might be another possibility is a federal tax on luxury goods. That would be the only real way to target the ultra rich. Bush Sr enacted one on certain items. The tax on boats kicked in at $100,000. The boat industry said it was losing jobs to it so it was dropped. Everything else was dropped in 2002. A blanket luxury tax could be put on items costing over say $1 million. As long as it's not too high, it should generate decent tax revenue. It wouldn't include housing because that's not really a "good."

That article is wild. My favorite has been Democrats complaining they're an unelected bureaucracy, which is 90% of government. The difference is that they were elected. Trump was clear of what DOGE's job would be, and we elected him. Leftists freaking out over a department they didn't even know exsited and that has zero oversight has been hilarious. Especially since it carried out something they've been complaining about and wanted stopped for years. Creating rifts in the social fabric of foreign countries to facilitate an overthrow of the government. Color revolutions basically. It was created by JFK as a tool to fight the Cold War. The Cold War is over so it's out lived it's purpose. Agencies created for a particular goal absolutely should be removed once that goal has been reached. Edit: Another YouTuber explained it as Democrats/leftists see every part of the government as sacred. Even though they'll say certain aspects and agencies are bad and evil, they're still sacred and untouchable. It's a completely foreign concept to me as I've never known anyone that thought like that. I've known people that thought that way about the Constitution, but not the government itself. I'd really love someone to explain to me how Feminine Frequency was engaged in "international development."

@mosesbrown4126 When they complain about egg prices and someone responds with it being market forces caused by millions of chickens (and dairy cows) being put down due to bird flu, they then try to make fun of the fact people are aware of what happened. I think trying to present it as a conspiracy theory. We simply paid attention to the news. A few weeks ago there was an article about it. Which said the flocks were being put down, and California had lost almost all its dairy cows. I went to the store that day and stocked up on eggs and chicken because I knew prices were going to go up. To me, they're just proudly admitting they don't know how economies function and to cover their own ignorance, pretend everyone that does are spreading "disinformation." If I can stomach it, I'm going to watch the MSNBC of YouTube, Midas Touch, and see what they're actually being told, so I'll kind of understand what they believe. To answer your question about regulations, particularly at the state level, they're redundant. The federal agency that regulates food sold in grocery stores already has all the safety guidelines required. You're state might have some that go beyond those, but they don't actually create a safer product, or so little it's negligible. That's called over regulation and it's used to prevent competition from smaller producers. It forces them to sign contracts with the big 2 chicken companies if they want to make any money because it makes it too expensive for anyone else.

@KSUser-0301 Technically, but the flocks were destroyed under Biden. It's not immediate because the supply when it happened had to be used up first before the shortage caused by fewer chickens producing showed up in prices. Plus, the destruction of the flocks was over a couple of weeks rather than all at once. If I could link in YouTube, I would link you the article from when it began which was the first or second week in January.
