Who did we mean to punish here? What was this meant to fix?

Yeah, those of us who understand tariffs knew the short-term outcomes.

Keep in mind the European economy is in shambles.



But if only we could go back to the good ol' days where American manufacturing jobs were a dying breed. Unemployment, lost wages, yeah -- that's the ticket.

Now I did not read the entire study, but the second sentence makes me wonder what kind of control they were using. Washing machines are now app connected, they are subject to more stringent efficiency standards, and some of them even have a 'second' washer' in the base or on top for small loads. On page 4 they state they compare washers to other appliances in order to help offset "non-tariff" factors, but that assumes the technology and features increased at the same rate and cost for a washing machine as a dishwasher, microwave, oven, etc.

Using their own math and dividing the increased cost by the number of washing machine and dryer purchases, the cost of the tariffs to the individual buyer were approximately $84.

I am interested to see how Trump's tariffs play out the closer we get to 2020

Average increase in purchase price? That is it?

It's called a trade war for a reason.

But let's go back to America losing jobs to oversees nations and still having to pay higher prices for it.

I wonder what the economic impact is from all those people now having jobs is. Now they have money to spend in the economy and are paying taxes to the gov.

I don't have any hard numbers, but I'm going to bet that the overall positive economic impact is more than $84.

We had two that lasted 18 years and went and bought new ones last year. More for the warranty and they were on sale than anything else. I dont have time to be trying to fix no damn washing machine. That's for young men or men that know how to do it already.

Had an older coworker of mine one time that showed me the way on this kind of thing. We were talking one day and I told him how I'd spent time over the weekend mowing my lawn. He's close to 60 and was like dude you make way too much money per hour to be devoting 3+ hours on the weekend to do the lawn. Pay someone else. That really stuck.

I now pay for my lawn to be mowed and my house to be cleaned. Time means more to me than anything else going forward ever will when you break it down in a return on my investment kind of thing. That Saturday not spent working and doing what I want to do vs what I have to is worth it.

If I buy a cheap washing machine for 200 now and get 3 years out of it or buy a new one for 800 and get a warranty plus 18 years...you do the math.

Not to say if you enjoy fixing things or doing your yard that that is bad. I just dont enjoy doing either enough to not pay someone else.
