I feel like we're stuck in a loop, many of these same people having the same discussion.

"Causes inmates to violently struggle and gasp for air..."
Yeah...it's called "dying".
The old method didn't do that, first drug knocked you out, second drug paralyzed you, and third drug stopped your heart...
That was the humane/painless method upheld and approved by the supreme Court.
Torturing people, even people you intend to kill, is a no-no.

As for who pays the 20%, idiots. Think about it. Are you really going to pay 20% more for something made in Mexico? No, you're just not going to buy it. Hence the crippling of Mexico's economy.
Meh, maybe... If you're already spending $20 on some little doodad or gadget, (maybe a nerf gun, or a quadcopter) are you really going to change your mind over $4? Or are you just going to say, oh well, this is what my kid wants... Here's $24

I didn't forget, the tariff isn't coming out of the pockets of Mexico, or Mexican suppliers, the money is coming out of American consumer's pockets (if it works at all)...
In no way can you say "Mexico" is paying for the wall.

You aren't eating it (hopefully), but it has already been paid. As a business, you are then trying to make a margin on those costs.
https://faculty.washington.edu/danby/bls324/trade/tariff.html (there are plenty of other sources that will say the same thing.
" A tariff is a fee assessed on imports. This can be imposed in various ways but we’ll stick with the “specific tariff,” a simple per-unit charge. The tariff represents a per-unit charge that has to be paid to the government by whomever brings the good across the border and into the country. If there is a $1,000 tariff on imported automobiles, then no new car can be imported into the United States without paying $1,000 to customs agents as it is brought in. "
But it's not affecting my margins, it's affecting the final price paid by my customer. Ultimately, I'm not paying it, they are. Whatever they do with it once it's in their possession is up to them.
If it's a new car, that tarrif goes right on the invoice as part of the delivery charge.

Sorry but no. Tariffs are not collected at the time of sale. They are collected at the time of import. Paid for by the importer/exporter.
The wholesale price is higher, so it's very likely that the retail price will also be higher. Even if the price was too high and the product NEVER sells because consumers instead bought products made in the USA (not subject to said tariff), the import tariff has already been collected.
Try harder next time.
When you quote someone a price, you account for your costs. This includes any tariff or tax you pay. So if Pennsylvania institutes an ohio tariff and I'm quoting a price to Penn, I'm adding up my costs, labor, materials, profit margin, tariffs, shipping, and taxes, then quoting that price to my customer in PA, they're paying it... They might get a lower price from someone within the state, but I'm not eating that cost as a supplier.

I'm fine with that. Buy from Mexico..pay a higher tax. If the market sustains that tax, then it's a closed system. Problem is they'll build it first and then come to collect from us when we stop buying imported goods.
So, unless they do it right..we get fucked. Again.
Oh he's already said he's "borrowing" the money from us...
-
The government is collecting it, the consumer is paying it...It's the same thing as a border tax.
Mexico isn't paying for the wall, anyone buying imported goods is.

When Trump said Mexico would pay for the wall, I always assumed he meant from funds collected through an import tariff.
Tariffs don't work that way... The consumer ends up paying the tariff.

So now I'm not wrong, I'm just off the mark to a subjective inflection of the word hard. Just when I thought you've topped yourself at entertaining me you drop this. Seriously, thank you. My afternoon has gone much quicker on a slow day at the office.
And the nice thing about having been in oil and gas for so long is I don't need to do any research because I know all about it already by working, attending trade shows, safety classes out the ass and such. I learned about this stuff years ago before it was trendy to google two weeks ago.
So you intentionally misled these people about the significantly increased difficulty with attempting to clean up bitumen vs other crude oils?
That's pretty shitty.
-
Actually your comment "all oil is hard to clean up" is completely off the mark in its dismissal of this particular shit...
Again, go do just a little tiny smidge of research on this shit. Or don't and keep telling yourself all crude is the same...
I'm guessing you're more prone to remain willfully ignorant on the differences.

oh you silly Libtard. Thank you for making my day
So no? Just laugh it off and pretend you're not completely wrong about different types of crude... Cool man thanks for playing.
-
Am I not saying it right?
Keystone XL
Big pipe, carrying lots of shit that is VERY difficult to clean up compared to it's conventional counterparts...
Maybe read just a little about the bitumen? (Tar sands crude)
Maybe?
Or just stick your head in it and insist it's perfectly safe.

So you oppose all motorized units on all waterways then too
Motorized units carrying millions of gallons of bitumen, yes!

True that. Typically I avoid engaging Magdor but it's laughable when it comes to oil & gas.
And it was worth it to watch him drop a link to 1 pipeline failure. It's like Nancy Pelosi lecturing on gun control with her finger on the trigger of the gun she's waving around like an imbecile
It wasn't about the pipeline failure itself, it was about the problems associated with the cleanup of what this pipeline was carrying...
You seem very preoccupied with pipes in general.

Show me where I called pipelines unbreakable? Nice spin. Like Pauly said, it is statistically the safest most environmentally friendly way
Why don't you look up the failure rate of all pipelines transporting crude across the US? Or is it because you know the rate is so small that their is a higher probability of winning a state lottery.............twice............in the same year.
I didn't say you said that, I said, factually they break, and I don't need a working knowledge of how they are installed to understand that fact... Also when they break, the stuff that was inside flows outside. This particular pipe is particularly large, and this particular pipe is carrying particularly nasty shit that is particularly difficult to clean up in waterways....
That's why I oppose it. I haven't seen a clear rebuttal of any of these facts.

and clearly you have no idea how pipe is created and how pipelines are installed ace
Do I need a working knowledge of how they are installed to understand the fact that they break?
And when they break, the stuff that was inside, goes... Outside?
