I could spend "All Summer Long" In Michigan if Kid Rock goes to El Slaveador and holds the UFC Budlight Blow Out..

Damn they got some hot MILFs in leadership.

Stupid answer twice. A Prius is not an EV, and I did not buy it to save the environment. I bought it INSTEAD of the Camry I was looking at because it was a better value for my dollar - no other reason.

You weren't there. You can't know. You can't judge intelligently. You're just running your mouth in ignorance - again.

My plastic - not tin - car was self-charging. I am currently in a Subaru.

Now say some **** about Subarus, dummy.

@MR-7  - here's Zeke's display of genius you were waiting for.   

I have been thinking about getting a Subaru...I'm waiting for this one to come out...

 

Sound familiar?

What does not add up is that he is talking THEORY.

To make his case, he needs to show that THIS IS HAPPENING.

That would mean links to the actual data. Not arguments. 

Get it now? Can you understand it? I am not asking if this COULD happen. I am challenging him to show that it HAS happened. 
 
 

Debating a theory vs theology, what is the balance point where 3rd party avoided actual life intellectual minds control 8 hemispheres of reasonable doubt every current generation gap added forward throughout history active in current events?

I listen to Sole's Girlfriend.  She makes Zeets2 look like a pimple on your secret childless cat lady on the side's azz.
The premise that a 10% currency devaluation can perfectly and automatically offset a 10% tariff, leaving the final import price unchanged and burdening only the exporting country, is overly simplistic. While a weaker currency can mitigate the impact of tariffs, real-world economics involve complex dynamics that complicate this neat formula. 
Here's a breakdown of the economic factors at play:

• Tariffs are not the sole factor in price. The cost an importer pays depends on both the export price and the exchange rate. For a Chinese exporter, selling a $1 item for 90 cents (due to devaluation) means they lose profit on every export sale globally, not just to the U.S.. However, in your example, the U.S. importer still pays the original $1 price, with the U.S. government collecting the 10-cent tariff. The U.S. importer's cost for the item itself is unchanged, but the Chinese exporter is absorbing the tariff's cost through devaluation.
• Consumers still face price increases. The premise that U.S. importers pay nothing more assumes the entire burden of the devaluation is passed on. In reality, retailers may raise prices to cover their higher operational costs and to hedge against future volatility. Price increases tend to follow in the months after a tariff is implemented, not instantaneously.
• Currency devaluation has other consequences. Devaluing the Yuan makes all Chinese exports cheaper for every country, not just the U.S. This could start a "currency war," where other nations retaliate with their own devaluations to stay competitive. Such a scenario risks global trade instability and can lead to inflation within the devaluing country, as imports become more expensive for its own citizens.
• Market forces vs. government intervention. The user's prompt suggests an immediate and perfect 10% devaluation in response to a 10% tariff. However, China's central bank controls the Yuan's exchange rate within a semi-fixed system, meaning they can influence, but not necessarily fully control, its value. While China did allow the Yuan to weaken during previous trade disputes, the devaluation was a market-driven response and not a perfectly timed, one-to-one offset.
• Macroeconomic effects are complex. Tariffs, exchange rates, and monetary policy affect the entire economy. As seen in the U.S.-China trade war, both sides imposed and retaliated with various trade barriers. The ultimate effects can include reduced global trade, weakened growth, and increased economic uncertainty. 

In short, while currency devaluation can blunt the impact of tariffs, the situation is not as simple as the prompt suggests. Both the U.S. and China experience repercussions from these policies, with final prices for consumers, the stability of global trade, and domestic economic conditions all subject to complex, interdependent effects

Of course I've provided a simplistic example!  That's how the process is most easily understood when you're explaining a basic principle to someone who is entirely clueless about the subject.  And YES, OF COURSE it assumes that the entire amount of the devaluation is passed on, but that doesn't change the fact!  We're NOT talking about ANY other outside factors that can ALWAYS affect the amount the importer charges his customer.  There is NEVER any such obligation intended in Trump's policy to add the tariff, WAS THERE?  An importer can raise prices for a multitude of reasons that have nothing to do with the tariff OR with the devaluation!  It's also quite possible that the currency devaluation could be reduced even more than the amount of the tariff increase, and that would make the price even lower than before the tariff was added.

Care to deny that?

An Update About CBO's Projections of the Budgetary Effects of TariffsPosted by Phill Swagel on August 22, 2025

We estimate that the changes in tariffs, both by the United States and its trading partners, will reduce the size of the U.S. economy. That reduction in output reflects both negative and positive effects: the negative effects of higher tariffs through channels such as reduced investment and productivity, and the positive effects of additional revenues from tariffs on U.S. imports, which would reduce federal borrowing and increase the funds available for private investment.

 The increases in tariffs will make consumer goods and capital goods (the physical assets that businesses use to produce goods and services) more expensive, which will reduce the purchasing power of U.S. consumers and businesses. Those increases in costs will put temporary upward pressure on inflation.

"But...but...but...November 2022. " Then I reply with " I gave you my definition in my examples and you refused to read it." Etc....etc,..etc...blah blah blah...and on and on....


Broken record.
