    I hate this because for Europe it will become expensive too, just for the heck of it.

      Do his tariffs affect exports to the EU as well? Idk economics and I wanna buy a Framework laprop next year

      • If country A sells most of an export to country B and country B makes it harder for country A to sell to country B, country A may raise prices for countries C, D and E to make up for the losses caused by country B.

            A bit over a half of them, yeah. (I do realise that voters aren’t 100% of the population but)

                Yeah those fuckers would be included, which is why the figure doesn’t work but also getting too pedantic would make it far less quippy, so…

          Could country A try to decrease exports to country B and increase exports to country C, D, and E, perhaps by lowering the cost in C, D, and E?

          I don’t have any evidence for, and this document is just too long for me to read at this late hour. [IMF - Macroeconomic Consequences of Tariffs](Macroeconomic Consequences of Tariffs. https://www.imf.org/-/media/Files/Publications/WP/2019/wp1909.ashx)

            Yeah, I’d think they’re going to produce what they are going to produce and will adjust allocation and prices to accommodate the demand change in the tariff country.
