Thread: Trade War Coming to Shaving

I think no need to worry. I look at it as a 'reset' to get things more even again.
Things will get evened-out and all will be back to the old normal.

Looking back in history, that is always the outcome.

Now sales/Vat taxes, duties and such are another thing...Once they have their hand in your pocket, that's all there is.

America has pushed free trade since WWII after it took over England’s agenda to push free trade on the world. If there is a full on trade war, there will not be a simple reset.

Seems pretty complicated. Yet seems pretty simple.
Tariffs have been going-on all the while.
We will see, anyway
Nothing to be done at this time.
Not like we can do anything individually.

Here is how one tariff that was placed over 50 years ago is still to this day creating inequality... or complications. Once in place and defended, these things are a bear to remove.

I give you the chicken tax.

It’s not simple. And sure you can do something. Write your representative! Or you know, get into fights on Facebook with people who have no idea what they are talking about like everyone else lol.

Incredibly informative and interesting video, earcutter. No wonder the VW microbuses disappeared. So chicken tariffs are ultimately responsible for trucks being today's most popular "cars." Wow, and the Big 3 automakers reap the added profits of making a far cheaper "car" sold at a premium price.

Moral of the story -- the house wins and the consumer loses. Always.

On a humorous note, love how American chickens are the anti-aphrodisiac.

Nothing like keeping you chicken, eh!

Or perhaps a rubber chicken, Tom?

Cannot eat a rubber-chicken, Mark!

This is 2018, Tom. Kids these days will eat anything even remotely resembling food. Thus, your statement is up for debate.

Besides, my mind dropped into the gutter shortly after hearing the hilarious claims from the French linking American chicken to damaged virility. Brings new meaning to the phrase...
