Discussion: Trump Applies Tariffs To Solar Panels, Washing Machines

Meanwhile, the British have issued its verdict on allowing Murdoch to buy Sky News. “Piss off,” it said.

30 and 50 percent! Holy shit that seems like a lot. Are they that much cheaper than US built stuff? About what was put on japanese motorcycles though. Couple article looking at that.

Only slightly off topic, we really need to fix the Electoral College so that it works like it is supposed to and keeps moronic US citizens from electing an even more moronic person as president. Jesus I hope Mueller soon reveals enough info to get Donald removed and that Pence isn’t even worse.

“…will raise their prices and hurt demand for the renewable energy.”

To the Coal and Oil administration, this is a feature, not a bug.

Also, “large washing machines” sounds like what laundromats, commercial laundries, and hotels would buy, not machines for home use. Maybe that translates into a smaller financial hit spread across more of the population. So, yay?

would create new manufacturing jobs in Ohio, Kentucky, South Carolina and Tennessee.

Will these washing machines take 1’s , 5’s and 10’s ??
after the 30 day warranty you are going to need the money to recycle and buy another one.

Nice links. And the funniest thing about this story: that American solar-panel company this is being done for, Suniva? China owns a controlling interest. America first!

Well with Donald it’s Trump first with no regard where the money comes from.
