?Q?LG_washing_machines_to_cost_Americans_more_=e2 =80=94_gues?=?Q?s_who=e2=80=99s_to_blame=3f?=
LG has announced its upping the price of washing machines in the United
States, thanks to a new import tax imposed by President Trump. The firm said the tariffs on front- and top-loading machines will be largely passed on to US consumers wishing to buy LGs white goods (via Reuters). Tariffs on the company will be 20% on the first 1.2 million machines imported into the US, while anything beyond that will be levied with a 50% charge. Trumps new War On Foreign Washing Machines is part of the same ruling likely to undermine the growth of the solar industry in the United States. 30% tariffs will be placed on imported solar panels, largely from China, which has led to predictions that 26,000 jobs in the US could be at risk (via CNN). This reckless decision will threaten tens of thousands of American jobs and hurt our climate, said Howard Crystal, a lawyer for the Center for Biological Diversity. http://www.trustedreviews.com/news/l...zhhLZJxoLE4.99 -- Bod |

I see, so you like to pay an extra $100 or $200 for a washing machine eh? We all know you trumpets would be the first to complain about items costing more. And in the case of the solar tariffs, raising the panel price 30 percent kills more jobs installing them, saves few jobs making them because 95% are made overseas, and it raises the cost to consumers. But hey, Trump did it, so it must be right because Trump is always right, never lies, etc. |

LG washing machines to cost Americans more guess whos to blame?
LG has announced its upping the price of washing machines in the United States, thanks to a new import tax imposed by President Trump. http://www.trustedreviews.com/news/l...zhhLZJxoLE4.99 No great loss - my LG front load washer takes 1 hour 15 minutes for an average load ; the clothes aren't completely wet until about 12 minutes into the ordeal ; the "lint filter" catches zero lint and only serves to provides a sump for water to sit and become stinky. Its one good point is the high speed spin. If it's anything like Samsung - the electronics will fail at 5 years and cost more than the machine is worth to repair. I wish a USA manufacturer would build a non-electronic front loader - watch the grey-haired customers line up ! John T. |

I too am not fond of microprocessor controls on modern appliances. I installed a whole house surge suppressor to try and prevent damage to these system. I also don't like the front loading washers, they seem to use less water and the clothes don't seem to get as clean as with the top loaders. Last time I knew I was going to need a washer, I went to Craigslist and waited for an older, mechanical control Maytag to come up. I got really lucky, someone was selling one from a storage unit that hadn't been used in years. It was more than 30 years old and in perfect condition, got it for $25, brought it home and it has been running great for five years now. Didn't even need to replace the belt. |

He needs to go back to saving spotted owl habitat. But to get back to the title, LG and Samsung have been playing whack-a-mole for years and undercutting US manufacturers like Maytag and GE. It's time to protect and rebuild US industries. Estimates are a protective tariff on washing machines might raise prices up to 15%, say $120 on a $800 machine. Considering most people don't buy one every year and the life expectancy is about 12 years, that's $10 a year to bring back US manufacturing jobs. Yeah, I know the American way is to look out for number one and the hell with the nation. MAGA, unless it costs me a few bucks. Stop illegal immigration unless you're talking about that guy who mows my lawn. Of course, with a 'propositional' nation there is little incentive to give a damn. |

Does that include the thousands that could lose their jobs in the US solar industry? Stick to the title instead of mixing and matching. But, if you really want to talk solar: https://seekingalpha.com/article/414...-years-tariffs Now let's look at those 'jobs in the US solar industry'. Are they jobs manufacturing solar panels? No, those have been hurt by the 500% increase in cheap imports and will be aided by a tariff. So exactly who stands to lose? Principally installers if an increase in panel prices decreases the number of new installations. Considering solar is most attractive in the southwest, want to bet a lot of those people up on the roofs couldn't cough up a green card? |

Precisely, although even if you aren't looking for the cheapest item you still may not be keeping a US worker in a job. REI isn't known for their bargain prices but you have to look long and hard to walk out with something made in the US. I switched to Red Wing boots but you even have to do your research with those; not every one of their products are made in the US. |

The firm said the tariffs on front- and top-loading machines will be largely passed on to US consumers wishing to buy LGs white goods (via Reuters). Tariffs on the company will be 20% on the first 1.2 million machines imported into the US, while anything beyond that will be levied with a 50% charge. Trumps new War On Foreign Washing Machines is part of the same ruling likely to undermine the growth of the solar industry in the United States. 30% tariffs will be placed on imported solar panels, largely from China, which has led to predictions that 26,000 jobs in the US could be at risk (via CNN). This reckless decision will threaten tens of thousands of American jobs and hurt our climate, said Howard Crystal, a lawyer for the Center for Biological Diversity. http://www.trustedreviews.com/news/l...zhhLZJxoLE4.99 Only lazy welfare democrats that refuse to work and support themselves would be against this tariff. Does that include the thousands that could lose their jobs in the US solar industry? Stick to the title instead of mixing and matching. But, if you really want to talk solar: https://seekingalpha.com/article/414...-years-tariffs Now let's look at those 'jobs in the US solar industry'. Are they jobs manufacturing solar panels? No, those have been hurt by the 500% increase in cheap imports and will be aided by a tariff. So exactly who stands to lose? Principally installers if an increase in panel prices decreases the number of new installations. Considering solar is most attractive in the southwest, want to bet a lot of those people up on the roofs couldn't cough up a green card? When you have facts and numbers to support that allegation, let us know. I do know that Great Adventure just started a project to install an 80 acre solar farm here in NJ. I see many homes with panels driving down the street. Are some illegal aliens involved? Probably, but there are plenty of Americans employed in those industries too. And illegals could just as well be working in one of solar panel factories that are being helped by the tariffs. Funny how you can turn a tariff issue into an illegal alien issue. |

In a country that is actually doing fairly well, some think very well, he still gets 85% negative press. |

LG washing machines to cost Americans more guess whos to blame?
LG has announced its upping the price of washing machines in the United States, thanks to a new import tax imposed by President Trump. http://www.trustedreviews.com/news/l...zhhLZJxoLE4.99 No great loss - my LG front load washer takes 1 hour 15 minutes for an average load ; the clothes aren't completely wet until about 12 minutes into the ordeal ; the "lint filter" catches zero lint and only serves to provides a sump for water to sit and become stinky. Its one good point is the high speed spin. If it's anything like Samsung - the electronics will fail at 5 years and cost more than the machine is worth to repair. I wish a USA manufacturer would build a non-electronic front loader - watch the grey-haired customers line up ! John T. The Speedqueen FR3 https://www.speedqueen.com/products/...ers/models/FR3 Thanks for the link - I might be travelling to USA for my next washer ! ... seriously - unless a Canadian distributer gets smart and starts to import it. Before buying the LG - after exhaustive search - the only one I could find in my part of Canada was a Huebsch at almost $ 3,000.00 John T. You haven't narrowed down where your "part" is, Speed Queen is available at several western Canadian suppliers including Trail Appliances, the top loader sells for 1300.00 cdn Kitchener Ontario. http://www.taappliance.com 1 model Speed Queen front load $ 2300. http://www.goemans.com 2 models ~ $ 3,000. all electronic John T. |

So begins a recent paper in the journal Behavioral and Brain Sciences. But is this "commonplace" observation rooted in our brains? Is it even true? The paper, Differences in negativity bias underlie variations in political ideology, by lead author John R. Hibbing of the University of Nebraska, answers yes to both questions. It advances three successive waves of evidence, which combine to show that conservatives differ from liberals by having stronger, more intense reactions to negative aspects of the environment such as physical threats, or potential sources of disease which are ultimately physiological. At the same time, with multiple forms of mass hysteria going on at once, American conservatives seem dead set on proving the scientists right, and underscoring the importance of the work they're doing.
