Do you think these companies can just snap their fingers and suddenly start producing stuff locally?
And even if they could, why would they? In three years another guy comes in the White House and the tariffs are gone. Also why would they produce locally when they could just raise prices and shift the expense to the consumers, maybe a bit more so they can even get a little extra.
Also what are you gonna do about it? Get your toothpaste from a different company? Good one, they bought out all the others and the ones they didn’t buy out are just gonna rise prices too because they’re not gonna leave money on the table. Don’t you love unregulated capitalism?
I wonder what ingredients in detergent, toothpaste, and deodorant, can’t be sourced locally?
Cheap, existing labor and infrastructure?
Don’t forget nonexistent environmental laws that allow for chemical plants to operate with “better margins”
They’re working on it though…
