In the early months of #Trump’s term, importers mostly absorbed those #costs rather than raising #prices to recoup the money from #consumers. Some companies said they were waiting to see if the #tariffs would last. As time has passed, companies increasingly have shifted the costs of the tariffs to their customers. Goldman Sachs estimates that the share of tariff costs borne by consumers has increased from 22% in April to 55% in Oct, & that it will continue to rise, reaching 67% by mid next year.
As the NYT board has noted in previous editorials, the revival of domestic manufacturing is a worthy goal, & if #tariffs were applied judiciously, the benefits might outweigh the #costs. But #Trump’s indiscriminate use of tariffs is doing far more harm than good. The current tariffs will cost the average #US household about $1,800 per year, the Yale Budget Lab estimates.
The admin’s crackdown on #immigration is similarly being conducted in ways that maximize the economic costs.
“But the policies they’ve chosen have created extra costs for businesses, & businesses tend to pass on costs,” Sahm added.
The cost of #Trump’s policies is likely to increase in the coming months.
His most inflationary policy is his campaign to build a wall of #tariffs around the US #economy. Tariffs are #taxes on imports, & they are *initially* paid by the businesses that bring goods into the #US.

It manages the contradiction not by overcoming it but by exporting its #costs. Through #imperialism, social #democratic states extract cheap #labor & natural #resources from the #globalSouth, allowing them to sustain prosperity, high #wages, & #welfare systems at home while keeping #capital #accumulation intact.

Has anyone else noticed that #ChatGPT 5 is pretty bad? It keeps asking for details and a lot of follow up questions before commencing work. Might this be an attempt by #OpenAI to reduce the insane computational demand?

Sweeping #tariffs on imports from #Canada, #Mexico & #China went into effect just after midnight Tues, raising #US tariffs to levels not seen in decades & rattling foreign govts & businesses that depend on international #trade.
As of 12:01AM Tues, the #Trump admin added a 25% tariff on all imports from Canada & Mexico. The admin also added another 10% tariff on all imports from China. That comes on top of a 10% tariff on Chinese goods put into effect just one month ago….

…by altering the terms of #trade between the #UnitedStates & its largest economic partners, the #tariffs will probably rattle #SupplyChains, strain some of the country’s most important diplomatic relationships & add significant #costs for American #consumers & manufacturers.
#Canada, #Mexico & #China are the 3 largest trading partners of the US, accounting for >40% of both US imports & exports last year.
