Cheaper gas isn’t going to mean much if the new tariffs are going to jack up the cost of a new car around $10,000. But I’m happy you’re saving .30 a gallon for now at the pump.

Your trade is worth 10 more to so what’s the dif
JohnnyFatSack@reddit
Hahahaha! Clearly an Econ major…

Or in the car business and actually do it for a fukin living. Move on Reddit reader

So say someone has an old used car that’s worth $3,000 that they are trying to trade in to get a used but newer car that normally costs $35,000 but is now $45,000 because of the tariffs. By your logic you’re saying the dealer is going to give that person $13,000 for that old trade in?
dondavischris@reddit
No that’s not equal. 35k car 25 percent increase is 43750 not 45k. 3000 car w a 25 increase is 3750. Prices in used 35k cars are 37-39-40k now and in a matter of weeks. Like now now soon. Shit already happened. In the used market this min it’s a mix of old priced trades from weeks ago and new acquired inventory over the last week. So no math wizard you won’t see a massive 25 percent to 433 percent dif in new and used. Great argument though. Dureerrhhhhhhhh

Here’s Fox News talking about how the CEOs of US car manufacturers are bracing for price hikes and lower sales and how this is going to benefit countries like Japan, China, S. Korea, and all the European manufacturers that don’t do dumb stuff like this.

I tell you real world shit from inside the industry and you give me a fox new article. Another home run for you. Jesus Reddit.

Tariffs
Prices are going to go up for the consumers. Cars, lumber, electronics, steel, fruit… the US population are going to be paying the higher prices while Trump is giving tax cuts to millionaires and billionaires. It’s economics 101.
dondavischris@reddit
Well at least you gave up the car price argument

Yeah I think gas will stay the same. Eggs will come down but not all the way. Everything else will increase.
PurpleQuantity6688@reddit
Why on earth would you expect egg prices to come down in the midst of avian influenza, though?
david_jason_54321@reddit
Because we're going out of our way to buy them from other countries and the policy to kill chickens is probably not being enforced anymore. Supply is going to go up.
PurpleQuantity6688@reddit
But that won’t stop the problem, which is H5N1. I think there are actually more variations of highly pathogenic avian influenza, now. You might be right in the short-term, but I do think as the virus spreads(now unmitigated) prices will almost definitely go up. Scientists have been watching this virus for a long while.. it’s not going anywhere, and it is going to get worse. It’s already zoonotic. It’s just a matter of time until it adapts to spread easily among humans.
david_jason_54321@reddit
Isn't this post about prices?
PurpleQuantity6688@reddit
Well yes, so in the short-term, not culling the flocks would keep egg prices stable. But in time, they will succumb to avian influenza, which will also spread to humans, and then you have a whole new pandemic, much worse than Covid could ever have hoped to have been.

The mods are clearly on the wrong side of history. 😔
KarmaLeon_8787@reddit
We are about to be winning bigly now after today's tariff announcement. /s
PurpleQuantity6688@reddit
The /s denotes sarcasm
PurpleQuantity6688@reddit
Gas is the only thing I can think of that fluctuates in price so drastically. Why is gas the only thing that seems to change price based on market conditions? Everything else just goes up and never comes down.

This has been the common occurrence since Biden put in guardrails to get inflation under control, price of gas goes down for a few weeks and then back up but to lower than where it started to drop. For example, it starts at $3.75 and goes down to $3.40 and then goes back up but to $3.65 and the cycle continues to this day.

You guys don't get it. He's trying to show the world that we are rich and high prices don't affect It's a 4d chess move negotiating tactic and not at all trying to crash the global economy cuz his rich billionaire donor buddies want an asset fire sale even if majority of Americans suffer.

It's not too bad yet for gas. Everything else though...
