>>49104 SAP is manufactured and exported from Japan, Indonesia, Belgium, and is in fact also produced domestically in the USA. Plastic is manufactured here in the US so much so that we handle a lot of plastic manufacturing for Canada. Canada is the world producer of wood pulp used for diaper fluff and the US does a fair amount of production of that. 3M (the adhesive producer) is literally a US company stationed here. Finally, Vietnam is the actual #1 global producer of thr elastic used in diapers. So, no we don't need China to make diapers, nor do we need them to get the raw materials. Honestly I can't tell if you are just an idiot that doesn't understand China is just used as a manufacturing sweatshop and isnt the place all raw materials are produced from, or if you are just a CCP plant here to sow diaper discord for the communist party.

>>49102 California is the scapegoat in media, but it is just another state in real life. In general, if you take a shit on the street anywhere in the U.S., you'll get a sex offender registry, assuming your genitals are visible. I love California, and the numerous ghosts of the redwood forests who reside there

>>48814 Well a bunch in the community are autistic and I'm sure there's a huge overlap of them.

was gonna sperg out about the logistics but tldr if tarriffs arent dealt with prices will probably go up 25-75%, along with a slight increase in quality. xl goodnites have some really nice SAP and etc, and with probably new machines for domestic manufacturing we might get some developments from baby diapers like segmentation to reduce clumping when wet.

Wrong California is trash because of leftwing nihilism.

>>49645 California is good, I love my state :)

So is this thread just a bunch of dudes arguing with a single troon?

>>49647 >So is this thread just a bunch of dudes arguing? FIFY

California is drug addicted broken hell hole overrun with feces and used needles. That is your legacy drug addiction and squalor and mass state debt.

>>49646 Yes, yes, this!!! Because where else can one live where they need hazmat suits to clean the streets...

>>49663 >>49670 California has salmon runs and ancient redwood forests and historical structures. It even hosts Babyfur Con. I am proud of my state and its place in the Union.

>>49674 It would be so much nicer if Northern California succeded from the rest of the cesspool. And there is a no denying that the state is rich with culture and history, but having decades of unchallenged progressive political supermajorities has made the state a dump. Time to elect some conservatives to swing the pendulum back towards center.

>>49695 Don't have any personal stakes in the political struggle, but I would like to thank you for acknowledging the state's history, anon. Seems like most talk about states nowadays center around using them as polemical tools rather than actually having a concern for their welfare.

>>49697 You're welcome, and let's be honest - modern issues notwithstanding, California is a stunning place to live. The growth of America to today is, in large part, due to California. Our expansion to the West, the railroad systems, and our industrialization were driven by those needs. Later, business and entertainment grew there. Nobody can take away the majestic beauty of the state or of its history and importance in the growth of America as a country. The current situation, and its future, is in jeopardy though. Think about what will happen if the current leadership continues unabated.

ITT: People assume anyone who hates tariffs and thinks Trump is a fucking moron on the "Make Everything More Expensive Again" tariff movement and has been since 2016 is a leftist or a troon. Stop drinking the fucking kool-aid, Orange Man has done a lot of good shit, but he is absolutely FUCKING STUPID on tariffs. Louis Rossman summerized all of this quite well in a video I'm sure most of you don't have the attention span to watch. https://youtu.be/xR2_eqNL604

>>49720 >Louis Shillman Yeah the faggot that made his career fixing apple shitbooks in Jew York couldn't fathom apple fucking him over and instead of swapping to repairing anything else decides to lobby to have the government police companies to keep him in business. The same guy whos business is now more fucked because he can't get bootleg apple shitbook parts is definetly the guy who has a non biased opinion on tariffs.

>>49724 >>49724 >A bunch of strawmen Awww, that's right little buddy, you keep making all the shit up in your own mind to justify why tariffs are a good idea because Orange Man said so!

>>49727 >calls out strawman >responds with strawmam + ad hominem Retard lol >>49724 Rossmann just hates Trump. He's very on point with many subjects, but he hates anything Trump related so he's looking for ways to attack him and his policies rather than trying to look at what's actually happening. Maybe no one else saw, but there were two videos right around the cabinet appointments where he crapped on the new admin, I think the new head of FTC or FCC, (before they'd even done anything lol) using speculation, baseless assumptions, and even going so far as to praise the previous position who he'd been dumping on for the last four years. Something along the lines of "well, they got nothing done and everything sucked, but at least they tried. But this new guy is bad because of a quote I can't source and here's a link to an article about something bad which has no relation to this new guy at all." I think the topic was about being able to have different internet providers and the rights of landlords, etc. He was trying to put all this in that wiki he's making, but none of the links went where they were supposed to. He deleted both videos like a fag, and pretends they never happened. Clearly he made them while mad on TDS because again, he's usually really accurate about this stuff, but these vids were MSNBC tier smearing. Anyway, Rossmann isn't a complete idiot, he's just suffering from severe TDS. lol My take is the tariffs are a high-risk play to light a fire under everyone's ass, draw a ton of attention to the issue, and ultimately most these tariffs will not be around in the long run. A number of tech companies are building production in the US, which is more important for national security than for business. America competes with literal slave labor and not only can we not win, but we're also supporting horrible conditions for Chinese/Indian slaves, preventing basically anyone in the US from being able to compete, losing tons of existing and potential US jobs due to outsourcing, and encouraging a lowest cost goal rather than best quality. We are everyone's best customer and we're getting fucked over. As for the rising prices, this is to be expected. Both from the higher cost of production in the US and from the pushback by all those who are getting kicked off the gravy train. I've heard it said like this and I think it's a good analogy: surgery is risky, painful, and uncomfortable, but it can save your life. Our economy is dying. Sorry diapers are expensive. Oh well

>>49729 >>49729 Nobody ever said he was pro-Trump. >>49729 >Our economy is dying. And as we all know, making prices increase an effective 145% percent is going to make that so much better! Suck the orange cock harder!

>>49731 >And as we all know, making prices increase an effective 145% percent is going to make that so much better! One of the arguments I find most enjoyable from the Left is the added costs we will see. This isn't a permanent tariff, this is only meant as an incentive tool to bring China to the negotiating table. I would be quite happy if we put a 1,000 percent tariff on all Chinese goods - fuck China! They are the largest threat to the planet, bar none. They are trying to corner the market on all raw materials so they can further their rule over the planet (even if by indirect means). Countries like Ivory Coast, Nigeria, Mali, Sierra Leone, Uganda, Kenya, Mozambique, to name a few, are practically wholly-owned subsidiaries of China by their government's greed and corruption - by accepting high-interest Chinese loans that ultimately went to pay for Chinese companies to perform poor quality work in these countries. Now China controls their resources (case in point, companies like Total and Tullow Oil were basically pushed out after spending hundreds of millions of euros in favor of CNOC to operate the Kingfisher project, amongst others, all because Uganda couldn't pay back its loan and China forced Uganda to give the oil production licenses to the Chinese company). So fuck China. When you realize that the tariffs are a way to real China in and get them back in line and obedient then you'll see their value better.

>>49762 Except china's economy is already far sturdier than the united state's economy. Mostly because china has diversified their markets, and is both a producing country and manufacturing country. The states is mostly a manufacturing country, and has pretty shitty market overall. China's income is barely affect by whatever the states do, but the states on the end are heavily dependant on chinese goods. Sure bringing back factories is a great idea. I love it. Problem is, it's not fast, it's not a press button and boom done. The tarrif will basicely just piss off current companies and make them move outside where it's more stable and reliable. A few companies are already doing that, not sure which anymore but saw news about one closing 40 000 jobs like 3 days ago. Setting a fire under people's ass is fine and all, but fucking do it properly with a reason. Give companies incentives to bring back factories, don't just raise prices randomly. People want a stable economy, not whatever the fuck trump is on.

>>49763 China lives on export cheap shit on other country, primarily, the U.S. Now with tariff, they couldn't do shit and their production is coming to an halt. And if you know China, they are a bunch of lying piece of shit and of course they will do anything to cover the fact that their economy is in turmoil. Hence China just dropped out the retaliation tariff on the States because in the long run, they will get fucked. And the 40k job cut? Nice fearmongering there, people said the same thing when Trump fucked USAID aka CIA's child because they cannot afford to put money into their pocket while funding their own project in other people country

>>49763 >Except china's economy is already far sturdier than the united state's economy. It's not. It's on the brink of collapse. China has never had the economy they say they do. It's foolish and ignorant to believe anything they say. Their entire culture supports the idea of lying outright to save face, this is woven into every aspect of their lifestyle. Wait till it's revealed they don't have their stated population, that's gonna be a wild one.

>>49813 You can say that again.

>>49815 "A special team of female invigilators was on hand to intimately search female examinees ..." Oh my....... Also, "There is no fairness if you do not let us cheat" Who knew there were Progressive Democrats in China (I mean besides Eric Swalwell's girlfriend or Diane Fienstein's driver)

>>49848 >Progressive Democrats in China It's literally called the Chinese COMMUNIST Party and Progressives LOVE Communism.

>>49855 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=__HBBf_eDLM

https://www.reuters.com/world/china-says-us-eager-negotiate-tariffs-beijings-door-is-open-2025-05-02/ I believe Xi just blinked.

>>49985 From the story: "Beijing has expressed its anger at the tariffs, which it says are tantamount to bullying and cannot stop the rise of the world's second-largest economy." When the one crying "bully" is one of the biggest, baddest bullies on the block... Seems about right, no?

Sucks to suck. Maybe if you idiots had money your life wouldn't suck. "Muh grocery prices", stfu, this is what america wants, if that's too much for you, work a 2nd job.

>>50004 >Maybe if you idiots had money your life wouldn't suck. > Tell us you live at home at 40 with Mommy and Daddy and don't have a job without telling us.

>>50004 >Maybe if you idiots had money your life wouldn't suck. Are you volunteering to donate to our cause? I mean, I do pretty well for a retiree but I could think of useful ways to spend any extra cash I get...

Now to see how this plays out in the markets and in the stores. Mostly curious to see how this will effect my wallet. From the BBC: https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/clyg2939ej2o

Typical CHICOM bullshit.

It's delightfully fun watching burgers continue to shoot themselves in the foot over and over again. Long live comrade Trump.
