This feels like semantics. Sure, domestically made products wouldn’t have tariffs directly applied. But they will still increase in price as a result of this policy.
Which most of us here have reduced to “prices will rise on USA made products as a result of these tariffs”.
So yes, tariffs aren’t applied to domestic productions directly, but the end product will still cost more and the reason will be the tariffs.
I think we agree now, yes?
I think they assume that a USA device would have tariff only on the imported chips inside, whereas a device from another country would have its chips tariffed, as well as an additional tariff on the full device when imported.
I don’t know if this is the case or not because Trump is unclear and as others have pointed out this would be trivial to evade if components aren’t tariffed separately.
No matter what those in the USA would be paying more for electronics.
Perhaps somehow we still believe he wouldn’t fuck over Americans that much.
There’s chips in everything and they simply won’t be made domestically any time soon.
So any product containing chips will have a 100% tariff applied?
Edit: product imported to the USA
I feel like there must be a miscommunication/misunderstanding here.
The tariffs only apply to the imported products. That’s how tariffs work.
Right.
If you import components into a US product then you only pay the tariff on those components, not the entire product.
Isn’t that in agreement with OP? Any products made in USA that contain chips will cost more to make due to the 100% tariff on the chips.
I believe they’re referring to products made in the USA that contain chips.
As in importing chips would be 100% but importing a product that contains chips would be 15%?
I’m not from the USA and neither is Nintendo but I’m sure it’s one of their biggest markets.
Reduced sales will hurt. Nintendo has enough cash to eat the cost but that sets a bad precedent.
How many Switches sold in Brazil vs. USA?
They need to make up lost money somewhere. It’s probably easier for them to raise prices everywhere than raise US ones even more. Especially since a Canadian switch is the same thing.
Warning, it gets racist the deeper you read.
Either way there’s value in perspective from different audiences. Not everyone is going to make an account and post on github.
We need to remember how many users aren’t even registered to an instance.
I would love a tagging standard. I have a lot on Sync, and while none are critical, it would be nice to be able to transfer them over to another app.
Sorting by Scaled, which by design puts emphasis on posts from smaller/less active communities, helps s lot.
I know it’s been said already and it’s not a perfect solution but for now it’s an under appreciated first step.
In Canada, I’d like to see Interac develop into one. Hopefully more prominence wouldn’t ruin it
Edit:
Following several aborted merger attempts which were either blocked by the Competition Bureau or by some of the co-owners between 2008 and 2013, Interac and Acxsys were combined into a single for-profit organization, Interac Corporation, on 1 February 2018.
Never mind. It would be inevitable.
And also returning to… being a pet?
You should probably crosspost this to !meta@programming.dev
Federation fixes most of it. I can follow the big community that’s become the main one and still the smaller ones with their own focuses and views.
That’s it! Thank you.
No, it’s from the pixelfed guy?
