Default ?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.

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.

The interesting point here is, there are no tariffs being applied to
shoes, shirts, ties, jewelry, you know, all of those items that have
the "Trump" name and are made overseas.

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 !

Thanks for the link - I might be travelling to USA for my next

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

You are welcome, my pleasure.

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.

What's your point? Does it in anyway relate to the fact Trump hasn't
implemented tariffs on the junk that he and his family import and sell

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.

Stick to the title instead of mixing and matching. But, if you really
want to talk solar:

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?

The interesting point here is, there are no tariffs being applied to

When buying small-ticket items, the vast majority of people buy the
cheapest product on the rack. Later, when they lose their job to a
foreign worker, they blame the president for that too.


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.

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.

That was pretty humorous Bowman, you demand that Bod "Stick to the

about illegal aliens working the solar industry.

I am sure no one else noticed, your secret is safe.

Donald Trump is a liar and a hypocrite. He's repeatedly blathered on

Twitter-rant topics. Meanwhile, his own products are made all over the

The backlash from the hypocrisy forced Ivanka to move the production of

I don't think it will make a lot of difference in the end and won't

I have no idea. All I know about washing machines comes from periodic
trips to the laundromat. I dimly recall buying a used one when I was
married but that was a long time ago.

Just because you are paranoid doesn't mean they are not out to get

In a country that is actually doing fairly well, some think very well,

No great loss - my LG front load washer takes 1 hour 15 minutes

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.

If it's anything like Samsung - the electronics will fail at 5 years

"John Stuart Mill called it 'commonplace' for political systems to have
'a party or order or stability and a party of progress or reform.'" 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.
