Gang… what would a 25 percent tariff on metals do the scrap metal market??
Increase demand for American scrap??

Much of the US scrap metal is sold to foreign countries like Turkey, India, Bangladesh and Mexico. Since the scrap metal is being exported, there might not be any gains in scrap prices, until US processors come back.

India gets huge amounts of discarded electronics from the US. I've seen a lot of documentaries and travel shows showing Indians pulling all the different materials out of electronics. They burn the coatings off of the wire in what looks like a dystopian hellscape from a deranged lunatics worst nightmare.

They beat old metal ships apart in India with hammers too. The workers go mostly deaf.

No, but get ready to pay more for anything made of metal thanks to the Trump tariffs.

I read an article on tariffs and how it would affect us all on the average. It said 1K to 1.2K person more a year for all the tariffs he wants too install. Not all those will happen. Tariffs are not all bad they can do the US better than harm. All most all imports we get have tariffs just not called that and are hidden with other names.

To curb tariffs and inflation just don't buy some of the things that are inflated or have tariffs if you can help it. You do without or improvise what you buy.

Tarriffs are like the guy holding a gun to his own head and says-back off or I'll shoot the hostage.

We dont have tarriffs on you yet but we will when you put them on us.
We had a free trade agreement which you broke.

Any chance you could make a video and show us what you mean? Be sure to use live ammo to make it realistic.


I have nothing clever to put here.

Many countries subsidize their own industries to bypass tariffs.
