Short excerpt from comments on the economy down at floor level..

Sorry for the Non-link.. this is part of a letter.. email should say. But read like a qoara or such..


See, tariffs were simply Uncle Sam taking a big bite (aka taxes)out of our American company’s profit margin. The Chinese manufacturers wouldn’t drop the price of building the goods for us because nothing had changed — they still needed to make their money. We tried to pass some of it on to consumers, but that wasn’t always possible for contractual or market reasons (competitors who manufacture in Malaysia weren’t raising prices, so we couldn’t raise ours or we’d price ourselves out of that glorious free market). So we had to eat the tariff aka tax. And leadership determined that engineering was the group that was most easily outsourced.

So they’ll keep selling their stuff, and it won’t be quite as good, but maybe it will still sell. But those 40 jobs have left America for good, and all we got back for it was a few hundred thousand dollars of tariffs that we gave to American farmers who can’t sell their soybeans anymore because Trump screwed that up. So ultimately Trump went full-on socialist, seizing money from a successful company (my former employer) and giving it to someone else (a soy farmer) because he failed in the market.

I was out of a job for 3 months, as have been several of those 40 people laid off. Meanwhile, those Chinese companies have more work than before, and are getting paid more money than they were making before (doing the engineering now),and Americans are sending them that money (buying those products), increasing our trade deficit to China.

So that’s just a recent example of how Trump changed my life, your life, and a bunch of other Americans’ lives, and not at all for the better.

Being out of a job doesn't mean you have to be out of work.
