Yeah, I can agree with that point. It also may turn out to be a bad decision by HD..... 1 Link to comment
Moiraine Posted June 29, 2018 Share Posted June 29, 2018 Just now, TheSker said: Yeah, I can agree with that point. It also may turn out to be a bad decision by HD..... I'm sure they knew there might be backlash. They probably feel there wasn't a choice. Or maybe they wanted to do it all along and this was a good excuse. Link to comment
commando Posted June 29, 2018 Share Posted June 29, 2018 why is it bad for HD to some move production to Europe but its ok for the trumps to have so much stuff made in china? 1 Link to comment

Which brings us back to the point, many pundits that warned of this were right Link to comment

The tariffs are too new to know consequences. And if the consequences are severe, Trump will be one and done. Link to comment
jsneb83 Posted June 29, 2018 Share Posted June 29, 2018 Quote Polaris Industries considers moving output overseas A Minnesota-based company says it's considering moving production of some motorcycles out of the country because of European tariffs, just days after Harley-Davidson announced a similar move. A spokeswoman for Polaris Industries acknowledged Friday the company could move some production of its Indian brand of motorcycles from northwest Iowa to Poland. Spokeswoman Jess Rogers noted "nothing is definitive. We're looking at a range of mitigation plans." http://www.ktiv.com/story/38544542/2018/06/29/polaris-industries-considers-moving-output-overseas Link to comment

Brazil will out produce the US in soybeans for the first time this year. Brazilian transportation infrastructure and product quality has made this possible. Link to comment

Guy Chamberlin Posted July 11, 2018 Share Posted July 11, 2018 Do you know the one sector that's totally thriving right now? More jobs and careers than they can fill for years to come? Healthcare. That's great for the job numbers, but it doesn't take much digging to see how the flow of money into healthcare, the weakening of more productive sectors, and the gutting of medicare and medicaid could create a really ugly scenario. 1 Link to comment

So....you’re saying that these countries will simply have another country to buy from .....this either screwing the American farmer or we spend billions propping our farmers up....or probably both. Such a graat tactic. Link to comment

Just thinking out loud, but healthcare is one of the issues that I wonder if the real answer might be tort reform. Link to comment

Such a graat tactic. China has been increasing their Brazilian soybean imports for almost a decade. Tariff issues aside.....there's always a market for the best product. And Brazilian soybeans are considered the world's best. Link to comment
