Mark, one more time! Please make more noise about this. What’s the point of championing American manufacturing if on the back end the US govt continues to allow this to happen?? I’ve been building my factory for the last 5 years. It would be 3x the size it is now and have 5x the number of employees if we didn’t have to constantly deal with this.
@michaelpatron0@ajassy Eye opening watch patron if you haven’t seen. At some point in corporations are going to push to far and we are all going to pay the price for it. https://t.co/ezsOV0Nv4e
For decades, Democrat and Republican administrations have promised that export opportunities and a “level playing field” will benefit American manufacturers and workers.
REALITY CHECK: It’s never happened.
Charlie,you should look into the reality of what is happening. This is happening to every small american business in America selling online. You want opportunity for gen z so Trump wins the day -- selling on the platforms is a fast track to creating opportunities for Gen Z. Why are we allowing the chinese to take all of this marketshare away from our own sellers? Our own small businesses are being decimated everyday by foreign sellers.
Here's the evidence ---> https://t.co/DgGNHySA3h
🚨 BREAKING: President Trump successfully negotiates another trade deal, this time with Japan, the 5th largest trading partner with the United States.
- Japan will invest $550 billion into the US, creating "hundreds of thousands of jobs"
-Reciprocal tariffs of 15%
- Japan will finally open up their markets to American cars, trucks, rice and other agricultural products
Another W for America 🇺🇸🇺🇸
Well, the real factors are this: in the consumer goods space, opportunities for US brands and manufacturers continues to be steamrolled by platforms allowing foreign sellers to skirt IP rules and tariffs. Small brands have no leverage to correct this. Unhinged IP theft has wiped out at least a million importers over the last 8 years. What did Trump do to correct this? Nothing. Components and machine builders in the US have a global supply chain heavily reliant on foreign components. To rebuild a components supply chain in the US would take a decade. So why the tariffs on components we don't make here?? How do we rebuild a supply chain without the components? Who will build all the machinery needed to rebuild these factories with increased costs across the board? Billion dollar multinationals, MAYBE. But the SMB, no chance man. I could go into greater detail on how piss poor the trade war strategy was, but the damage is done man. Trump showed China just how much he lacks in an understanding of how today's supply chains work.
This isn't getting any media coverage in the west but it's a big deal - 60% of sellers on Amazon-US are Chinese based and the Chinese government is starting to crack down on under-declared earnings. This means the cost structure is effectively changing for the worse for 60% of Amazon's seller base (and on top of that the US tariffs implemented this year).
Best way to lower beef prices is to enforce anti-trust regulations on the 4 largest beef packers and everyone wins. It all starts with them. Consumers will be happy and ranchers will have healthy margins. But the globalist cabal will not approve. @beefinitiative
