Nothing in my town has closed. Plenty of jobs out there with full benefit packages. Or I could search on all the oil fields Trump plans to open up. [/quote] Thanks for your input. Sounds great in your area. [/quote] No, OP, it really doesn't sound that good. You're correct, OP, that there hasn't been much job growth, "Just a bunch of distribution jobs distributing Chinese goods," which is exactly what he's talking about. Those "fulfillment centers" are exactly that. The guy from Ohio is proving your point without realizing it. He mentions "talks" of steel mills and auto manufacturing. If it happens, it will be a small operation making expensive products with limited range. And, again, IF it happens. A few new grocery stores opened up. Wow. The Ohioan can write pages and pages of nothingness. [/quote]

What the fuck do you think will happen when tariffs on Chinese goods take place?
I'll tell you. The prices will go up! The Chinese are not going to eat this.
They will raise prices accordingly.
Us little guys will be the ones hurt.
And where will the money that is generated from the tariffs go?? Your pocket? Mine? Pfffttt!!!!
Explain to me how this will benefit the little guy in a western land.
