This was shown to be propaganda. A local went down and vid showed the Seattle port full of container ships ready to be unloaded.

GM’s tariff “mitigation efforts” are largely focused on upgrading existing US factories to bring more production of vehicles, batteries, and components to the US.
CEO Barra outlined one of the projects for bringing production to already existing plants in the US as part of the tariff mitigation efforts:
“For example, the $4 billion of new investment in our U.S. assembly plants will add 300,000 units of U.S. capacity for high-margin light-duty pickups, full-size SUVs, and crossovers to help us greatly reduce our tariff exposure, satisfy unmet customer demand, and capture upside opportunities as we launch new models.
“The capacity begins coming online in just 18 months after which we project building more than 2 million vehicles in the U.S. each year as we scale.”
So these “mitigation efforts will take time to yield results, limiting their effect on the second quarter,” explained CFO Jacobson.
On the news that GM and suppliers are eating the tariffs, rather than consumers, and that GM is investing in the US to cut the costs of those tariffs – all good news for the US economy and for the precarious US fiscal situation, but not for shareholders – GM’s shares tanked 8.1% to close at $48.89.

Amazing how much Pricing Power labor arb from outsourcing gave big business, that they can eat double digit tariff rates without passing them on to consumers...
I think the whole "Multinational Companies hanging on by their fingernails" is dead and buried.
Another one is that all the stupid REITs and VC involved in housing are getting royally schlonged by reality. MBAs do not consult easily available and extremely accurate social metrics like Demographic data.

I don't think anyone does except high level elites, who in turn bring in immigrants as an act of desperation.
Most corporations and PatNet 'Real Estate Experts' certainly do not.

Still a better deal than Palantir. It's trading at 100 times sales- not profits, but sales.
We have people in charge of trillions of dollars of investments, who don't give a crap if the investments make or lose money.

Everywhere, not just on PatNet. And the basic gist of it is:
1) The globalists and their Minions are crying Chicken Little because something for realz is happening that is bringing their means of ass raping us to an end or at least seriously limits it.
2) Part of that, they are pushing the same old bullshit 'free trade' narrative.
3) But NOBODY is buying it. Furthermore, even the least articulate/educated ppl even seem to catch some crap the globalist bullshitters post and use it to rip 'em a new one.
My X feed is filled with them. It is awesome to behold.
This one is a tad more on the sophisticated side than what I just described, but is my fav AND IS representive of what I just said:
4) We are even seeing what I call 'mini-manifestos' being posted by ppl -- myself included -- who had bought into the Globalist Bullshit now openly admitting that they were wrong and calling it what it actually is.
Example: https://patrick.net/comment?comment_id=2164721
5) I am seeing this from the Left. From the Right. From ppl I can't stand. From ppl I respect. From ppl I disagree with on certain things but agree on others. From ppl who I would normally wouldn't see on my feeds at all. From ppl not even on any feeds because they aren't online like me.
6) LIKEWISE, I see the bullshit response from ppl I either a) never heard of before or b) ppl I always knew were bought off - like Senator Grassley. The real stupid ones in my view are those like Bill Krystal who is jumping on this bandwagon simply because he hates Trump.
They are only shooting themselves on the foot.
I don't know for sure if the tariffs will work as advertised. I do believe, however, that they will work a lot better than the screaming globalists rant. In fact, I -- and all the aforementioned others -- see that they are actually in fear that they will actually work enough to fuck with their free trade scam.
This thread is to talk about that. The various other tariff dedicated threads have already started doing so. So maybe this is a little late.
But let's see..
