I really hope my job at an MSP is effected, but it probably will be. I hope we stay in business...

It sucks the prices will go up, and I'm not saying I want this but I feel like they would go up higher than this based on what he said.

Trump's not going to need to apply tarifs.

Biden has both Russia and China on the back foot with failing economies, and significant social unrest. Both are desperate to make a deal with Trump. Trump only succeeds in negotiation when he can bully his adversary.

If Biden had the faculties, he could have whipped both countries and probably avoided this mess.

Oh no, what will I ever do if I can't keep buying stuff I dont need.

"Americans might have trouble expressing greedy tendencies under a Trump presidency."

The entitlement of americans is absurd. Palestinian children are killed with made in america bombs while our population weeps over its loss of made in china electronics.

Clearly the american dream is dead if you can't replace your computer every year.

It will at least be extremely funny to watch all the right wing gamer bro chuds freak the fuck out when an immediate consequence of their actions will be that gaming pc components instantly inflate 50% in price.

Glad I already got my Steam Deck, fuck.

For years, us, Canadians went to USA for shopping. Next year with the exchange rate at the highest for US$, and Canada without tariff, a shit load of americans will come to Canada to buy their electronics and stuff.

They’ll blame democrats for the price increases. Bet me.

The US is at least 40 years removed from any kind of real electronics manufacturing at scale.

This kind of thing takes generational knowledge to get right and we outsourced that knowledge a long time ago.

We are now several generations from being able to manufacture electronics on the level.

Either trump has no idea how anything works or he's actively trying to destroy the American economy.

Mexico about to make a killing in shipping.

Any reason for the unnecessary outlining and underlining instead of just cropping the picture decently? Ffs

Brought this up to a friend who is very pro Trump and he said

"Part of trying to get industry back in the country (which we would be better off with) involves making imports less appealing."

That’s all cool and nice, but let’s see what happens to the prices when Taiwan gets invaded.

That’s fine, you’re all ok with American made laptops, right?

I'm involved in the manufacturing sector. At recent trade shows, we've been hearing that a lot of companies were holding off on making decisions about purchasing goods and machinery until after the election, though no one was saying much specifically about what each candidate would mean for their decisions. This article seems to say the outlook isn't super rosy and his initiatives don't make a ton of sense.
