You are clueless. I was gonna guess and call you a purchasing manager, now you confirmed it. You see everything from a purchasing point of view, so you belive that makes you an authority.

If you are a carpenter, everything is a nail.

Misunderstanding the power of tariffs is why globalists can so easily rape nation’s economies. They make the natives feel like tariffs are unfair and they conquer like China does.

“But the overall impact to the price of their finished product is still negligible.”

I’M NOT TALKING ABOUT THE PRICE OF THE FINISHED PRODUCTS, i REFERENCE ONLY THE PRICE OF THE COMMODITY.

What are you talking about? I was quoting your post which specifically says "finished goods".

If the cost increase to the finished goods is negligible the tariff is useless except for raising revenue.
