April 12, 2025Apr 12 On Friday, U.S. Customs and Border Protection reported that an entry code in the U.S. system for American ships to use to have their freight exempted from tariffs isn’t working, and "the issue is being reviewed.” As a result, no tariffs are being collected by the U.S. government for the time being. U.S. shippers told the news outlet that they have not been charged higher tariff rates on their containers as recently as Thursday, despite Trump’s claims that tariffs are in effect and are being collected. This latest snafu is on top of the fact that many companies and industry groups are still unsure of when tariffs will be collected, especially since Trump keeps changing the rates erratically in social media posts and executive orders, and making new threats almost daily. https://newrepublic.com/post/193930/ports-not-collecting-trump-tariffs-glitch

The unemployment rate is 4% and there's already something like 12 unfilled jobs for every 10 people. We literally have more jobs than people as it is. That plus the fact that we are a consumer based economy, not to mention the world's largest economy, is exactly why these erratic tariff policies are so mind-numbingly stupid. All it does is incentivize trade partners to seek refuge elsewhere. The economic equivalent of cutting off our nose to spite our face.
April 12, 2025Apr 12 How can you continue being a consumer based economy, and the largest economy in the world, when you don't produce anything?

We still produce plenty of stuff that requires more skilled workers. What makes you think people will be lining up to sew shoes together for minimum wage? There is a reason why there are several apartment complexes in my area that used to be shoe factories. There is also this thing called the service industry.

I thought you were supposed to be finding where I called someone a commie 7 years ago? What happened to that? And yes, long term, explain how we continue to be a consumer economy, and the largest in the world, if we continue to produce less and less material goods? What does that look like to you?

Oh right, because increasing the production of material goods is the only way for our economy to continue its growth. I guess if you can't touch it or hold it, then it can't be real. Software, IT, financial services, digital entertainment, etc, those are all fake and paid for with monopoly money. I mean, I get it, when you're born and raised in a state known more for incest than education, it makes sense that you would have such an infantile understanding of economics and math. Probably the same reason that would result in someone being so embarrassingly stupid to put these words in this order: How can you continue being a consumer based economy, and the largest economy in the world, when you don't produce anything?
