about a lot. i think it is normal for global trade. this president has said exactly what he said he would do. put tariffs on countries he feels is not playing fair. i think it is terrible strategy that we ve ended up in a trade war with allies like the u.s., canada, mexico, at the same time we re fighting china, which is really the real issue here. china and the u.s. have real trade beefs. the rest of it is a little more of a side line to the real core issues. is that sa a natural consequence and do you think we ll see other u.s. companies follow suit and do something similar? you know, if companies will play by the rules of globalization of the last 40 years, then yeah. they are going to shift jobs abroad. they ll go from wherever they think they can get the cost benefit analysis down, make products cheaper. that s the way business has been
and do you think we ll see other u.s. companies follow suit and do something similar? you know, if companies will play by the rules of globalization of the last 40 years, then yeah. they are going to shift jobs abroad. they ll go from wherever they think they can get the cost benefit analysis down, make products cheaper. that s the way business has been run. i think they re going to face some real difficult decisions as potentially these trade wars heat up. they ll be complicated. it will be difficult to know where you can and can t go and who will get hit with what tariff. i think companies will face a lot of domestic pressure from the administration to stay here. i think we ll see regionalization of supply chains. i think it has become very complicated. it didn t start with this president. is joe still there listening?
