              So much winning on the trade war front. A 10% tariff on different Chinese goods is being added to the existing list.

                Washington (CNN Business)President Donald Trump tweeted Thursday that he will add a new tariff on $300 billion of Chinese-made products on September 1, which would effectively put a tax on all Chinese goods coming into the United States.
                "Trade talks are continuing, and during the talks the U.S. will start, on September 1st, putting a small additional tariff of 10% on the remaining 300 billion dollars of products coming from China into our country," he tweeted.

                The new tariffs could hit US consumers harder than the earlier rounds. It would tax goods like iPhones and other consumer electronics, sneakers and toys. Last year, Trump imposed tariffs on about $250 billion in Chinese-made goods, targeting industrial materials and components.
                This is insane. Absolutely insane.

                Oh, and just remember, this is the same as a federal sales tax. This is going to disproportionately hit the poor.

                      Oh no I’m sure all the shoe companies will come home for labor. Who doesn’t want to average $350 for shoes

                        I've been thinking about this recently. If the rich paid their fair share and we were all paid living wages, it might work to onshore more manufacturing. If there is a downward pressure in income distribution, we could all afford to pay for stuff that isn't cheap crap made in China.

                        It would never happen, but I suppose I can dream.

                          CEOs would need to make less than 400 times their average worker.

                            New Balance was championing the Chinese tariffs because they make their shoes in the USA. I remember reading an article about it this past spring.
                            "The party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command." George Orwell, 1984

                            "One does not simply walk into Mordor. Its Black Gates are guarded by more than just Orcs. There is evil there that does not sleep, and the Great Eye is ever watchful. It is a barren wasteland, riddled with fire and ash and dust, the very air you breathe is a poisonous fume." Boromir

                            "Good news! We have a delivery." Professor Farnsworth

                              Every trade deal we ever made needed labor protections and wage minimums for these countries workers. Bring their standard up to meet ours, rather than bring ours down to them.

                              Alas, never underestimate the power of greed.

                                That's the thing. It's dang near impossible to do with a limited budget and/or on "Everyday use" type items. We've reached a point to where final cost trumps all.
