On the otherhand, a person in China gets hit with a tariff on a product from the US that already costs 40++% more to produce than in their own country.
WTF? I have him on ignore, so I don't see his shit unless someone quotes him.

A 25% increase on tariffs for INCOMING CHINESE CIRCUIT BOARDS means that now they cost as much as American made circuit boards.

It does not increase the price of the American made product.

I was thinking of clearing my ignore list, but I guess I won't.
