Richard Wolff on Trump, Tariffs on China, and Inflation

The Community Church of Boston: A Peace and Justice Congregation Since 1920:

The relative economic decline of the US and its allies (G7) versus China and its allies (BRICS) leads to (1) realignment of global trade and investment, (2) changed global politics and alliances, and (3) basic cultural shifts inside and among nations. The political crises facing the United States at home and abroad hinge on this question: How will the US manage its decline?

What is not understood is that Trump doesn't care about any of it anymore. He got elected.

❤Thank you very much for your TRUTHFUL advice and professional insight Professor Wolff.

Inflation will destroy small businesses and accelerate collapse. THANK YOU trump

[ernest]

With the fools he's picked for his cabinet they'll be afraid to say anything to him. Just the way he likes it

US got a lot of benefits from China; inflation is lowered, etc. However, we lost our industry. Basically, Americans love this county, but bankers ... love $$ more than our country.

I don't want to hear a single MAGA person complaining about the economy for the next 4 years. This is what y'all wanted, right? Maybe next time, do a modicum of research BEFORE you vote.

I love your presentations. Thank you 😊

Two effs in tariff. We will be saying that a lot over the next years. Remember Truss in the UK?

[hammadsethi]

Imposing tariffs is nothing but a class war. 😢😢😢

Oh, we know BYD as investors. However, the constant vilification of China in mainstream news keeps us from anything Chinese. Thank you for your perspective.

BYD stand for Build Your Dreams.
I'm from Australia, a year ago, i switched my 5 years old engine combustion Toyota RAV4 for a brand new BYD atto 3 electric vehicle and i must say that the BYD atto 3 is really a good suv.

To date, Americans have paid more than $242 billion to the US Treasury for tariffs that Trump imposed on imported solar panels, steel and aluminum, and Chinese-made goods, according to US Customs and Border Protection.

I love the laughter at the end of the question… says it all 😂🎉

“It’s the economy stupid “ was coined by James carville during Clinton’s campaign.

[swamppop]

So, Joe helped Musk while Musk helped Trump? ugh grrr

Given the persisting global economic crisis, it's essential for individuals to focus on diversifying their income streams independent of governmental reliance. This involves exploring options such as stocks, gold, silver, and digital currencies. Despite the adversity in the economy, now is an opportune moment to contemplate these investment avenues.

[menudobucket]

Btw, I’m just curious about what the government does with the money collected in tariffs?

Glory!!! After so much struggles I now own a new house with an influx of $360, 500.00 every month God has kept to his words, my family is happy again everything is finally falling into place. God bless America 🇺🇸

[garrettcole]

Shipping rates from china will go up again

[hanfucolorful]

China should make an EV truck named MAGA, Trump will give it tariff free
