And a tariff on it will increase the price, because that is just how economics works.

this is not very scientific.

[–] HappycamperNZ@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

No, but its exactly correct in a short sentence. Science wishes it could be that exact.

Please tell me any way a tax, an additional cost added on to something could lower the price.

it's not causal

The cost of getting the goods to consumers goes up. Does the consumer pay:

A) More

B) Less

C) The same

This election was decided by the majority of people in this country not being able to answer this very simple question

Edit: oh shit I didn't even notice it was you lmao I see you're still roleplaying The Person With The Worst Takes

[–] commie@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

why did the cost go up? what other variables are at play?

[–] starman2112@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Good guess, but that wasn't one of the options. Does the consumer pay:

A) More

B) Less

C) The same

I promise you, if you think about it for even a moment, this has a very intuitive answer

[–] commie@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)
[–] starman2112@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Sorry, the correct answer was

A) More

Explanation: when the cost of producing or acquiring a product increases, a business must earn more money to cover the additional expense

[–] starman2112@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Sure thing

If you make it cost more money for a company to provide their good or service, they must charge more for that good or service in order to break even

[–] HappycamperNZ@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago (2 children)

You're arguing with a troll mate.

[–] starman2112@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I know, I've been interacting with commie off and on since I joined this forum. Usually he's a little more unhinged and fun

[–] HappycamperNZ@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

Try poking harder, might work :)

[–] commie@lemmy.dbzer0.com 0 points 1 week ago (1 children)

calling me names doesn't make what I'm saying any less true

[–] HappycamperNZ@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Won't respond to anything else.

You've perfected the art of talking without saying anything.

[–] commie@lemmy.dbzer0.com 0 points 1 week ago

this is posturing and the rhetoric. it is not evidence.

[–] commie@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 1 week ago

this isn't proof. it's story telling
