YIKES, my stocks are down 30% from the highs in Nov 2024

Someone explain to me why "Tariffs are outdated and ultimately harmful to the economy." Yet OK for the Worlds most dynamic economies.

You might need to elaborate more in order to get a proper answer…

I don’t think many people in this forum have PhDs in economics or consider themselves experts in this area (myself included), but from everything I’ve read

You don't need a phd to know that if the stock goes down, it will eventually go up, you need to be an expert to know that US has the major economy in the world, every single country makes money because of US.

Imagine the US being the alpha, while other countries are women, when they miss behave, consequences are applied.

We spent the last 4 years with china virus, a bunch of woke $hit, trans policy, degenerating society even more with all the DEI and LGBTQPOIUYTEWDVABSJLO+, crisis in the border, all the murdered who came in. Everything went through the roof. Its not coincidence that he won popular vote and by a landslide.

In the beginning people were talking about egg prices, why is that, notice that they never talk about it anymore. Cause that's all the media do, manipulate people and they are so $tupid that they believe everything they see.

but from everything I’ve read, the general consensus seems to be that these kinds of protectionist tariffs are outdated and ultimately harmful to the economy.

Learn how the industrial revolution formed, and how US became the power house of the world, after WW2, making auto, steel, everything from the US was the best quality.

If tariffs are wrong, then why do other countries charged us so much? I swear man, people are dumb as fvck.

I know right? People live with their head up their a$$es and repeating what mass media says, its truly pathetic what society has become.

Let's correct a few things in this long post.

First, it wasn't even close to a "landslide".

Winning by 1.6% of the vote is nowhere close to a landslide by any definition you want to use. Winning 312 electoral votes isn't even close to a landslide by any definition you want to use.

In 1984, Reagan defeated Mondale by over 18% of the popular vote and won 525 electoral votes.

THAT is a landslide.

Please come back to planet earth and reality and stop buying into nonsense that just because someone claims it was a "landslide" means it was.

In fact, this was one of the closer elections in the last 30 years. So far from being a landslide, it was actually one of the more contested elections there has been recently.

Secondly, other countries use tariffs because the average wage for 70% of the world is between 600-900 US Dollars per month. They are poor as fvck and need to try and keep as much revenue propping up their own economies as possible, not buying from somewhere else. Americans live in an alternate reality where they believe the rest of the world is similar to them when the truth is the rest of the world is mostly very far away from them in terms of how they live.

I know he was quoting me. I asked him to elaborate since I am not sure what “dynamic” economies nor which tariffs he is talking about.

The last time tariffs were used at this scale was in the 1930s, before the Great Depression and well before globalization. I guess ‘outdated’ wasn’t the right word and the wrong context. More like “counterproductive” at this magnitude.

There is this video I found that explain better their history and their use. Apparently they started in England.

A guy who's always lived in the first world country talking about poor countries like he lived there. I was born in cuba and lived there for 12 years, you don't know $hit, and are regurgitating what the media shows you.

You are free to leave the US if you don't like it, but I get it, only talk and no action, typical liberal.

People who are easily manipulated through their feelings always end up losing in life.
