This Is How You Lose the Tariff War

Consumers create jobs.

Businesses create consumers.. otherwise they would have no money to spend.

Checkmate.

Unless you work in the shipping industry, you have about a month left.

Unfortunately, the time when the economic fallout was limited to the shipping industry will soon come to a close.

California’s port traffic is beginning to look worse now, under the effects of President Donald Trump’s fickle tariff policy, than it did at the height of the COVID-19 pandemic.

“The vessel calls, or cancellations, that we’re seeing today (are) starting to exceed the number that we saw in COVID-19,” Mario Cordero, chief executive of the Port of Long Beach, said in an interview with CalMatters in early May.

I'll lay it out in such simple terms that anybody could understand it.

• Consumers are chickens.
• Jobs are eggs.
• Businesses are roosters.

I’ll summarize ClydeR…When businesses fuck consumers, jobs are produced.

That’s the riveting economic insight I would expect from a grown child that still lives in his mama’s basement.

So if consumers = chickens and jobs = eggs, this implies consumers create jobs, and businesses (roosters) are just... there? That contradicts how the economy actually works.

I get that you've never had a job.. but if you just had the most basic idea of how business works, you wouldn't have made such a retarded metaphor.

No, no, no. You're starting at the bottom of the list. I should have known this would happen. Elevate your mind.

Consumers, the logical starting point, create the demand that leads to jobs, empowering businesses to fuel more consumers.

Walmart workers are sharing photos of price hikes of 38% or more — and some prices are up at Target too
By Dominick Reuter

President Donald Trump's tariffs appear to be hitting the shelves at Walmart and Target stores across the US.

Walmart employees have been sharing photos recently on the Walmart subreddit showing sharp price increases of as much as 45% at the retail giant. Some of the items have also seen price increases at the rival retailer Target.

We won't get June's inflation numbers until the middle of July. I expect bad numbers.

cLyDeR, it kind of shows you’ve never actually had a job or run a business, because your understanding of how jobs are created is back-asswards.

Consumers don’t just 'create' jobs. They create demand… and that’s only part of the equation. It’s businesses that take the financial risk, make investments, and actually hire people. Without businesses offering goods and services in the first place, there wouldn’t be anything for consumers to buy, and no jobs to fill.

Saying consumers create jobs is like saying hungry people create restaurants. Sure, demand matters… but the guy who builds the kitchen, hires the staff, and pays the bills is the one making it all possible.

Jobs don’t come from people wanting stuff. They come from businesses deciding it’s worth the cost to meet that demand… and if you've never been on the hiring side of that equation, you probably wouldn’t know how complex that decision actually is.
