    What happened to open markets? I guess they're okay as long as no one can outperform us.
    Do you think China had an open market?

    They (TSMC) do not pay the tax. The American company that imports the product pays the tax, and and they usually pass that increase on to the consumer, resulting in higher prices.

    TSMC makes the same amount of money per chip no matter what.

    Trump is an idiot.

    you obviously know knowing about economics or the workings of tariffs.  Yes tariffs aren’t paid by the company that produces products.  Trump uses the threat of tariffs as a negotiating tool.  Look at how Columbia changed their decision on accepting the return of illegal Colombian immigrants after Trump threatened them with tariffs.

    The GOP is the tax cut/deregulation party. Trump's 1st term featured a $2 trillion stimulus in the form of a tax cut that primarily benefited the wealthy and corporations. And now you have Trump trying to claim he doesn't want to incentivize through tax breaks. It's so transparently false. That's all the GOP/Trump do: claim that tax breaks juice the economy. And it's guaranteed that they'll renew the $2 trillion in cuts from 2017 and add even more on top of it. 
    Half of the country pays no federal income taxes.  It’s hard to give people who pay no taxes a tax cut.

    I wonder if Tim is regretting that $1m bribe? or wondering if he should have made it $100m?
    Tim is facing the realities of doing business in China.  Tariffs will force him to confront the China challenge.  Apple could possibly build Mac’s or iPads in the US using lots of automation.  But iPhones still require lots of cheap manual labor which isn’t available in the US.  So Apple will have to accelerate moving more production out of China.  Which will upset the Chinese government to the point they might restrict iPhone sales in China.  A tough situation for Apple.  Trump will keep China from doing anything to Taiwan, which buys TSMC some time.

    Donald is a totalitarian fascist.

    Americans vote3d him in because they are idiots.

    He is a predator and will hurt America.

    Tim's bribe will not end up looking good.
    I’d say the idiots are the people who after four miserable years of Biden, whose declining health was covered up by the Democrats and media, thought Kamala was worth a vote.  Other idiots are the Californians who voted for Newsome and Bass.  Total failures.
