components are insanely cheap in the US compared to the rest of the western world
a 40% hike would roughly put you on par with europe, and your salaries are still 4x higher

Looks like they'll have to start making laptops in the USA.

We have to make it more expensive because

And then they wonder why China is overtaking you.

Fair trade since he wants to get rid of income tax

Here's what will actually happen, manufacturing will move to Vietnam and the Philippines.

god I hope trump wins and he imposes his stupid tariffs, it would give a huge boost to BRICS cooperation

Good.
It's about time the market was forced open to allow room for American chip manufacturers to develop.

What happened last trade war was companies didn't leave China because of the massive market and Americans paid for the price hikes.

vote blue

prices still go up

Where they have to pay tariffs on importing from.

you mean china will make laptops to 99% then add some last piece in a vietnam factory and then it's "made in vietnam", same as how "american" cars are 90% made in mexico then the seats are added in an american factory and boom, american car

The protection of America's companies and people is more important than your stupid little video game?

What would you rather? Paying just $20 more for your graphics card or having to learn Mandarin to get a job?

This is what happened in New Zealand in the 70s. An attempt at socialism banned any non-NZ made goods.
So what they did was import the parts and assemble them in New Zealand and claim it was NZ made because it technically was.
Capitalism ALWAYS wins.

Get rid of the minimum wage then
That's the only way America gets its manufacturing back.

american is horrified by the thought of learning a second language

KEK

Contrary to popular belief, all conservative politicians are bad for the economy, especially Donald Trump for having several failed businesses.

Does everyone ITT have amnesia or something? He did the same shit in his last term and shit was extremely expensive. He's the reason why GPU prices are no longer affordable anymore.

and prices will still triple due to cost of labor

I for one welcome the Chinese new world order with open arms if it means cheaper prices, boomer.

He's the reason why GPU prices are no longer affordable anymore.

No, that's not the reason why. Semiconductor manufacturing has insance demand from AI, crypto and computing.

only for the rich

Brazilian here. We pay 80% tariffs and earn 5 to 6 times less than an American.

And every favelashitter is still full of gadgets, polluting the Internet.

I like how in muttistan you're fucked no matter who you vote for

$20

You won't even be able to afford electronics anymore. You will own nothing (red edition)

Such a bad liar. Everyone knows GPU prices went high as fuck because of the combination if bitcoin mining and 2020–2023 global chip shortage.

he thinks that companies would let that happen

lmao
no
they will start pirating first

more like $500 more, imagine wanting to copy Brazil's policies lmao

cost of labor has been an irrelevant talking point for ages, chinese workers make more than american workers (no mark zuckerberg and larry fink making gorillions every month doesn't matter), china just has better logistics networks and a skilled workforce, american logistics are horrible in the rare cases where they even exist and they spent the last few decades training social studies and sensitivity training experts instead of stem engineers, america already has a competency crisis, the amount of high quality products that they can produce is tiny

Lmao China is loving how shit both candidates are. Remember China had the highest exports ever under Trump. They're so looking forward to a retard president.

conservative politicians

Both sides are owned by the same people, retard. They cycle the winner so they don't tip the boat too quickly.

chinese workers make more than american workers

the average trumptard everyone.

Spics and fentanyl addicts make for very bad workers anon

left wing media pundits must be shaking in their boots if they totally gave up on the social justice angle and have now resorted to purely economic doomsaying

Labour is a miniscule cost for manufacturing even in the US, it's environmental regulations which makes electronics manufacturing unfeasible in the US (and why China is carcenogenic as fuck).

You don't have to be an economic genius to understand that slapping a huge tariff on everything is a pretty retarded idea. Elon even said so himself that we're all gonna be in for a shit time if Trump's allowed to do what he wants to do.

Trump won't win though, right?

the most i ever paid for a pc was when he had this stupid shit previously

chinese workers make more than american workers

Are americans actually this retarded?
There's no way you unironically think this

americans are poor as fuck, they don't have higher cost of labor than other countries, the reason why nobody wants to manufacture in america is that the workforce is a bunch of retards and setting up any kind of logistics is a nightmare

but what about gas and food

Literally just upgraded my PC, 14700k, DDR 5 ram and re-using my 3060ti
I'm set for the next 5+ years

muh environmental regulations

wow you dumbasses just take everything the orange man says at face value huh

Welcome to the third world life muricans, where you have to spend several paychecks for a gpu

Trump

winning

lmao

inceltel

oh nononononono HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH

why are right wingers obsessed with these bizarre fantasies

CHINA IS GONNA TAKE OVER! WE'RE ALL GONNA BE SPEAKING MANDARIN!

THEY'RE GONNA FORCE US ALL TO EAT THE BUGS!

LE YOU WILL LE OWN LE NOTHING

I don't get it
is this some bizarre victim complex?

>CHINA IS GONNA TAKE OVER! WE'RE ALL GONNA BE SPEAKING MANDARIN!

>THEY'RE GONNA FORCE US ALL TO EAT THE BUGS!

>LE YOU WILL LE OWN LE NOTHING

China isn't doing these things to Americans. America is

doesn't pay 50% income tax, pay 20% instead

doesn't pay 15% sales tax, pay 5%

complains about tarifs that taxes on corporation that imports foreign goods

You fucking murrikans

you"re delusional and use muh cost of labor as a shield to ignore the more glaring problems that the american workforce has

food will be expensive if he continues his migrant ban, fuel will be cheap if he invades Iran for Israel

Really weird but there's a blue president current in the WH and the MSRP of gpus are like $3k and the cost of nvme SSDs are actually $100 above MSRP kek

2009

nigga u ok, but "environmental regulations" is a retarded talking point too

Trump doesn't have a chance at winning another election. Why are you sad fucks in a such a state of desperation that you have to make an election thread on Anon Babble?

14700

Oh no no no

nigger GPUs are straight up double the price of what they were 5 years ago
