2025 Tariffs and computer parts
Is better to buy computer and/or parts before the tariffs goes into effect?

Are people buy more now and resell it after tariffs?

After effect, would it better travel to other countries to buy it? Tariffs only affect US imports?

The Tariffs if Trump goes along with implementing means higher prices for consumers in the end so in a way, it is better to get things now before those Tariffs go into effect.

Dont worry, they will raise regardless of that..... just because they can (and as it will be bought regardless of price)

Well there was speculation Nvidia is rushing the new cards out to try to get ahead of the tarrifs. The enthusiast pay any price. Regular people don't.

Yes, Trump provided more details how he going to do that. On day one after January 20th, he going to tariffs the hell out of our enemies including China. 100 percent tariffs, 25 percent tariffs for Canada and Mexico.

Tariffs only effects consumers if you buy products outside of United States and import of said product into United States. Most of us don't import products, we buy in local stores.

Companies on other hand that do import products from another country will suffer as rightfully so.

Personally I don't think the tariffs are going to go through, sure some slush funds will get funneled into a few pockets but ultimately...not much will change.

The Wall™ for example was supposed to cure illegal immigration. It got circumvented with ropes, rust, and power tools.

Said by someone not even American. I do hope your country isn't targeted by tariffs.

In that case, you're embarrassing yourself by that comment, lol.

By the way on another post, you claimed from London. There's no London in United States.

And all you've done is show you don't know how commerce works. For example, a huge portion of off-season fruits come from out of country during the winter.

It's not just going to be people who "only buy imported goods" that are going to feel the hurt. Go take a look around at what you buy and where it comes from.

If you wanna take a swing, at least have the courtesy to do it from your main account.

And no, I never once claimed I was from London

London is a city in and the county seat of Madison County, Ohio, United States. :csd2smile:

Located about 25 miles southwest of the Ohio capital of Columbus, London was established in 1811 to serve as the county seat. The population was 10,279 at the 2020 census and it is part of the Columbus metropolitan area. :chirp:

You know...
Most of the stuff you buy comes from outside the US, so the majority of people who will get damaged by that are the people who live in the US not the ones who Import goods into it....

Even stuff MADE in the US often imports the base product.

Hell, for example Bumblebee Tuna. Lot of it comes in off foreign boats, despite being packed and canned here in the US.

Its astonishing so many people don't understand how Tariffs work or at the very least didn't bother to research it. No one should be happy about them, let alone excited.
