What worries me most is that companies will probably use the incoming tariffs as an excuse to artificially inflate prices. Some of these companies have already shown that they’re willing to bring the prices of products up way past even what inflation would bring. Consumer electronics, however have been the one thing that inflation hasn’t really messed with, and I’m hopeful that that will continue

[@SWAIMERS]

Companies inflate prices tariffs or no tariffs. Let’s be honest.

[@TheLordAizen]

There is still a world of difference though. You say they inflate prices but a 25% tariff means a 25% increase on an already inflated price. Like you can argue the ps5 is too expensive at $500 but if the tariffs on various parts is about 20%, then the too expensive ps5 is now $600. People already are mad at inflation. Not only that, the president elect also wants to pressure the feds to do massive rate cuts. That combined with tariffs is asking for crazy inflation across probably all sectors even with decreased demand

[@SWAIMERS]

@TheLordAizen didn’t the president elect do tariffs last time he was in office? I don’t remember things being more pricey tbh. I know we are in different times but just him saying he’s doing tariffs already has companies making moves to be more domestic or keep prices the same by producing somewhere else. The companies know if they raise their prices to high they will lose profits. They are going to be forced to keep it affordable to an extent. I feel like this video was decently neutral but fear mongered a bit. I guess we will wait and see what truly happens.

[@Drift0r]

Because inflation usually takes years to build up. You can't change market momentum like flipping a switch. The 2020 & 2021 inflation nightmare was a result of Trump's actions in 2018 and 2019. Tariffs however, do raises prices within weeks/months.

[@SWAIMERS]

@@Drift0r really? The last administration blamed Covid for inflation. So which one is it? I’m not trying to make this political but it’s a bit unavoidable sorry lol. So if it’s takes years for inflation to happen that means due to the tariffs being reverted during the last administration that logic means the tariffs will “appear” to help again. Or maybe, just maybe the tariffs actually helped.

[@MiKUltra]

But won’t costs still be high even if we get more domestic products? The reason overseas products are cheaper is because labor costs are very low. Not the case here in the US. So I kinda doubt prices will be any better on domestic products.

As long as it discourages slave labor and our country is more self sustaining I’m happy.

[@GremlinSciences]

There isn't as much human labor involved as the process as you might think. Just 4 or 5 people in a single factory can crank out hundreds or even thousands of devices in a single shift, their wages are nothing compared to the cost of international shipping. The tariffs just add further encouragement for companies to bring production state-side, which is part of the reason why Biden kept upping the tariff on semiconductors after creating the CHIPS act. (BTW, those CHIPS act tariffs are going to have a much larger impact than what Trump wants to do, the tariff on semiconductors is going up to 50% next year)

[@robob221]

@@GremlinSciencesthe labor that is involved up and downstream is what people are referring to. Not just the act of putting a chip on a board.

Listen to the people trump has by his side. Vivek or JD talk about this in detail on podcasts where you can learn a lot about the geopolitical issues stemming far beyond Biden being in office.

@@robob221 Rather than how the current administration structured information control, it's how they didn't tell the People anything before making major decisions. The CHIPS act passed to almost no acclaim, encouraging domestic production of semiconductors and electronics, then they reinforced it by silently creating a massive tariff on semiconductor imports, before silently doubling it and passing the blame to the next administration when that proved to not be enough. They also went and decided to push for a national switch to all-electric, while silently creating tariffs on everything needed to make that switch. But even with all that income from the new tariffs they silently created or increased, it still wasn't enough to pay for all the other garbage they silently passed.

Canada provides 60% of your crude oil. Even without negotiation and counter tarrifs from Canada your gas prices will go up at least 20% and that rolls over to an almost equivalent amount of inflation... It is a buzzword it's not the magic word he thinks it is.

On the point of climate and pollution, this has also been much better in China in recent years, especially if you look at the data as per capita but also without (there's been record growth in low carbon emission energy sources).

If a company comes to the US to do their manufacturing they will be unaffected by tariffs and will also receive tax benefits.

You're pretty much spot on!

[@cenation7mjc]

USA is the largest gaming and consumer economy in general Sony microsoft or any other conpany wont risk hurting their biggest buyer If you want to see this more compare USA to other contries ps5 is more expensive in europe and UK and much higher in contries like mine in egypt while kind of cheaper in places with no taxes like dubai The higher prices were already there to combat inflation even tho the profit margins are at all time high

[@Bunta559]

yep bought my ps5 pro on Black Friday because of these future tariffs. Buckle up America, Trumpflation is coming.

[@ryanbowen9718]

But the controllers don’t even work they are meant to break

[@EclipseDarknessX]

Sony is not an American company. Nothing they do will get tariffed. You put tariffs on Chinese company’s selling products in the US. Not Japanese. Learn something.

[@Drift0r]

Uhhh.. you should really look into where PS5's are manufactured. You might be surprised to find that they aren't made in Japan any more than iPhone is manufactured in America.
