I hate Biden. Truly
So true..
@@OfficialYakovNoam Then leave. No one's making you live here.
I don't hate Biden, but I hate his policies and I have zero respect for him.
@nickbarcheck1019 He didn't say he hates the country. He said he hates the man that's destroying the country. Moron!
@@nickbarcheck1019 first of all calm down, second of all take it easy and third.. I can live here and not like Biden. Well, this means a free country..
Everyone who voted for the dementia patient owe the rest of us reparations. We tried to tell you.
And yet there are some people who will tell you "what are you talking about? Gas prices are going DOWN. Inflation is going DOWN. Delusional
come on dude. most of his voters were dead.
We won’t get reparations from those voters-they’ve all been dead for decades.
Stop pretending like Trump was doing any better. The revisionist history that goes on amongst political nuthuggers is ridiculous.
All each of them do is pile their own set of problems on top of the problems the previous president had.
The US government was hijacked 50 years ago, and hasn't been about benefiting its citizens for a long time.
Ngl trump and Biden both suck, hard to shame anyone- also shaming is why both parties can’t agree on anything, can’t we just move past this
If you think it’s expensive to live in Biden America, try living in Trudeau Canada.
We will have the same, if this senile puppet gets re-elected.
That's mostly because they have higher taxes because healthcare there is free.
OMG fast food is so expensive in Canada, in the US it's just.. mildly shockingly expensive.
The Chinese are going to make EVs in Mexico.
And the cartels will sell them to the US
President Trump always worked to keep car factories in the United States.
Hopefully. CATL is helping Tesla make batteries in the US also. But Trump said he would ban importing Chinese cars through Mexico.
Musk has plans for Mexico already.

My mortgage went up from $2750 to $4100 within 2 years because of high insurance costs and taxes
Thanks for keeping corporate America humming along.
Yup...try to keep within your budget on a fixed income...no bueno😮
Jeez, where do you live and how much do you end up paying annually for property taxes and insurance? That’s a crazy increase…
@seraeggobutterworth5247 all the local and state taxes are higher, just to keep up with inflation,higher utility bills employees salaries and compensations. Insurance companies are not gonna take anything on the chin so the homeowner gets to pay royally. My taxes and insurance are what my total mortgage payment used to be.😵💫🤪😂
Holy shit!!
I heard Biden say the other day that everyone is doing well they just don't realize they are.
Bro, I’m 24. I moved out of my parents house when I was 18, last year I was forced to move onto my dad’s property and pay him extremely cheap rent for a spot to park my camper. The shit that Joe Biden did not only drove me out of a job that paid damn near $30 an hour, It forced me to move to a different state just so that I would not be homeless. if not for my family, I’d probably be lying dead in a ditch somewhere. I hate to think about the people that didn’t have anybody to call/rely on.

@@Kwildcat13Inflation affects every single good and metric in the economy, protein bars are just an example.
Even higher inflation will start getting you higher prices on schooling, services, everything.
Wages eventually are gonna start going down too if you don’t put a stop to it soon enough.
You have N0 idea how expensive things are going to get, not due to tariffs....it's due to endless money printing and government spending
It's hard to 'follow the money' when it goes in every direction to the horizon.

I think FJB should say. I can’t do this. I stole the election, here take your Job back
Hold up! 😬 "It's about to get MORE expensive"? I've been holding on by a thread for months now. I'm just about tapped out financially.
I'm the same here in the UK and I live very frugally, it's impossible to earn enough and keep up with rising prices and costs. I'm earning about 6-8% more than last year but goods have gone up by 20-30% and about the only thing I can get rid of now is my 15 year old car.....
So the government touched something and it turned into a steaming pile in record time?
Not surprised. Whenever the government says, "I'll fix it!" I immediately run in the opposite direction.
People have to resort to working 2 jobs or living in RVs because cost of living is way too high. There are so many mobile homes in the metro areas it is frankly disgusting.

I hope people vote with their pocket books. Brandon will be gone if that happens.
The power is with The People. And will always be with The People.
Far too many won't. They vote with the feelings, mainly because they don't have pocket books, or savings accounts, or cash on hand. They DO hand MOUNDS of debt that they hope the Feds will pay off, though.
@@sterlthepearl1000the power is with mail-in ballots, and apparently always will be.
This is how incompetent the Biden administration is.
First off, putting a tariff on Chinese Semi-conductors is an absolutely pointless endeavor. China is woefully behind the majority of the world when it comes to semi-conductor market share. Taiwan and South Korea dominate the market, producing over 81% of all semiconductors in use, meanwhile China's two state owned semi-conductor manufacturing companies struggle to maintain 5% of the market share. That tariff makes zero sense since we don't buy Chinese semi-conductors anyway.
But then he proceeds to severely tariff EV's and Solar Panels, while pushing these asinine clean energy agendas, meaning people are forced in higher priced energy options without any option to default to cheaper options that rely on either petroleum or more often natural gas, just a stupid move all around if you're actually trying to adopt clean energy policies (which are already stupid, but I digress).
But these are the "economic experts" we're supposed to trust.
The light at the end of the tunnel is a train.
About to get expensive? It already is!
Means it will get worse.
This isn't a win for American citizens. It's a win for votes.
Not if your IQ is above 75. No one with any knowledge in the cost of things thinks it will have any effect, If anything will make things cost more.
I didn't even think it's a win for votes.
Votes for who? Trump?

Ben's wrong on this one and this is about the only Biden policy I have ever agreed with. Only better policy than tariffs would be a 100% ban on imports from China.
Toxic products - children's toys with lead and cadmium paints, sub-par metal quality tools that break the first time you use them, oxidized unsafe electrical components and switch contacts, toxic and fake food products, goji berris with heavy metals, plastic rice, gutter oil.
Let alone the fentanyl analogues, nitazenes and methamphetamine precursors poisoning and killing more young Americans than the Vietnam War every year.
If we are too stupid to realize China has been waging both economic and biological warfare against us for decades while strategically supplanting American industry through intellectual property theft, and subsidy of strategic industry by their military then there is no hope.
The biggest geo-political mistake in history was Nixon & Kissenger's "opening" of China to the Western world. Its never a good idea to expedite an authoritarian communist regime into economic super-power status.
I recall buying virtually indestructible electrical outlet boxes at home depot in the early 2000's made of steel and manufactured in Detroit. Now they are all from china- aluminum and so thin you can crush them in your hand, basically thick aluminum foil, and the screw threads strip when you try to mount the outlet covers on them. And how about the toxic drywall that outgasses formaldehyde fumes for years?
Even if its some short term pain for consumers it's time to break the addiction to cheap, toxic and dangerous Chinese goods. Why do we continue subsidizing our own poisoning and the outsourcing of our manufacturing and ability to produce our own goods. If you actually believe in the markets and capitalism this will become opportunity for American entrepreneurs and manufacturing. Yes it may be painful for a while, but not addressing this problem in the long term will be suicide.

Don't forget how much the batteries are going to cost
This sounds like a perfect debate conversation for Donald J Trump.

You have to simultaneously reduce taxes on domestic industries that produce the same products. Which is what Trump did.
Electric cars suck in the Wintertime did they not learn that lesson a few months ago?
They suck for road trips but are fine for commuting.
Yes! The batteries don't hold the charge in winter. They are a pain to charge if you don't live in a house with access to electricity. Try finding an apartment with electric access to recharge a vehicle. Nope.
They suck in general, we shouldn’t be forced to have something, where’s the “freedom” in that?
This is the same thing that I said to my wife when I heard the news yesterday. American products will price match anything that comes from China. Consumers are already being ROYALLY screwed by ALL retailers. The only retail area that hasn't gone crazy in price is electronics. This is a USA problem. You can get the same products from European countries for significantly less money.
CANADA as well.
I worked in manufacturing during Obummer. The American Plywood Association lobbied congress to put a 100% tariff on Baltic plywood due to practices that they couldn't compete with. Congress did so, raising the price of Baltic ply from $40 to $80. Right exactly equal with American plywood, the manufacturers of which - Immediately raised their prices to $120 a sheet claiming, "They had a superior product worth the difference."
And it's not inflation, but simply corporate greed.

@@kencurtis2403 it really has been one of the worst 4-year terms in my 45 years of breathing.
Love how they are putting in all the EV charging stations and when the cars are bought that are new or "upgraded" they will have to replace them all unless they actually deal with it. Like the charger of your phone. Usb to usb c. Why is no one asking this.
Tip of the iceberg. This is how so many corporations function - in a disposable world.
so china will switch to making the final assembly in mexico and it will then import them from mexico with no tariffs
What!?! It’s already SOOOO EXPENSIVE!!!!!!

Tariffs increase consumer prices. As a result, people buy cheaper items that have little to no tariffs built into the price.
And China won't sell as much and lowers their cash flow.
I want my gasoline. Cheap, abundant, reliable, etc.
EV's are horribly expensive, expensive and difficult to repair (which you cannot DIY the repair), very limited travel ranges, LONG recharge times, etc.
And when it comes time to replace batteries, that will cost as much as what the vehicle is worth.
Switching to EV's just switches the LOCATION of the pollution. Doesn't save squat.

Tarrifs are a bad idea. No matter who passes them. All Tarrifs do is drive up the cost of the goods we all need.
I'm all for tariffs, as a replacement for the income tax just like we did up until the 16th amendment was passed.
I feel the group that'll suffer the most are people in the early/late 20s just starting out in a starting home, apartment, or trailer. We unfortunately are in an unpredictable economic climate where we're lucky to budget 500 a month in savings meanwhile minimum down payments and mortages keep climbing faster than our wages. Getting a house feels like a mind numbing grind meanwhile downsizing an apartment or getting roommates seems more realistic.
You mean the people who most vote democrat? Good. It's what they wanted
They’re digging tunnels right under your studio, Ben. Get out while you still can.
The prices given for filling up a 100 miles worth on an F-series truck vs an F-lightning are complete nonsense. Not even remotely close to accurate.
It absolutely is. EVs are a massive wealth destroyer. Not only are you financing an extra 12-22k @ interest with your car for a battery, you now pay close to gas cost to use it. The EVS ranges are grossly over estimated. If it claims 250 expect 170, 80 if towing, heat or A/C too? now 35 miles. Cold out? Forget it, you may get across town
@@MartinX192 Nope. You have no experience with EVs. I have lots. You are wrong about every single claim you made.
@@NoahThacker But that is what he has been told to say.
Agreed, the numbers are way off. Costs me $3.50 to charge my F150 lighting at home to drive 100 miles. Costs $16.50 do drive a diesel F250 100 miles. Substantial savings with an EV if you charge at home.
You can't just hijack it without understanding it
Why are we choosing between Trump and Biden... Why does America want a repeat of 2020? Can't we move forward from the same two options and find somebody new?
Probably because there is a clear compare and contrast on what to expect from the last administration vs the current one

How do you go fully electric by 2050 with a 100% tarriff on electric cars. The only way that works for Trump is “drill baby drill.”
Tariffs may have worked when there were American products and the tariff leveled the playing field but the US does not produce much anymore. FJB
I'm with you on most things, but we ought to tariff every single thing that comes out of China until the country learns to respect intellectual property, reject slavery, and compete fairly. Agree that the timing isn't the best, but our trade policies have benefited China and the very wealthy at the detriment of small businesses and the US worker.
Yeah, they literally harvest organs from religious dissenters. It doesn't get much more 3vil.
Agreed, I normally disagree with tariffs in most cases because it hurts competition and drives up prices, but when you're talking about a country that manipulates their own prices and economy already to the detriment of us, I think it's completely justified.

NJ just put an additional $200 on the registration of an EV. Also raised the gas tax. (again)
We already pay 25% tariffs on steel related products from China
I really agree with you, Ben, that putting tariffs on foreign products always harms the local consumer.
Yes. I want to hear about just ONE corporation that took the hit. We know that would upset INVESTOR's whom give a rat's ass about their fellow countrymen.
More expensive, again? This is fucking unreal
Let's thank "Ben's" wars.
we all saw this coming thirty years ago when the government more or less made it impossible to manufacture goods here in the states and gave "most favorite nation status" to china
The EV push by the gov is half baked to begin with. The power grids across the US aren't even ready for a massive EV push, and there are still problems that have yet to be solved with EVs such as...
1. People who don't have a garage - How can they charge them at home?
2. Power grid can't handle everyone turning on their AC on a hot summer day. How will is also handle people charging their cars?
3. Cost of batteries - If a battery pack get's damaged by running over debris, it's not uncommon to total the EV due to battery costs.
4. Northern states that have this thing called Winter. Cold snaps raise havoc on batteries. We saw this just a few months ago.
5. Emergency situations where the power is out - Example, Houston right now or southern states when a hurricane goes through or a Tornado in other states, or a blackout when the grid fails, etc..
6. Long distance trips are a complete headache because you have to calculate long stops at charging stations or plan routes to include those stations.
I'm not against EV, but we should probably solve these issues BEFORE pushing them on the general public.
But instead, the current admin and liberal states like CA pushed them hard because they are "greener"... Are they?
No, they don't have emissions, but they are certainly dirty to build them due to the massive amount of batteries in them. There are also concerns over the damage EV's do to infrastructure due to their massive weight. The average weight of a small car is a little over a ton, maybe 1.5 tons. The battery pack alone in an EV can weigh more than that.
Oh, here's some fun to see how biases Google is with their searches.
Google "Average weight of a small car"
Then Google "Average weight of an EV"
Notice the results of a small car are nice and clear, and in lbs, but the results for the EV are converted to metric and they put the battery pack in lbs to make it seem like they aren't that heavy.
Ye ai Google it and they do the go around for an exact answer lol
@@MegaKg9 It would seem they don't want people to see the truth there.
Yet the UAW endorsed Biden.

Solar panels are commodity, we should just buy their subsidized panels. Not a key industry.
We cannot in the United States make solar panels. The EPA is to thank for that. So no matter what the solar industry is screwed
FJB 💯
Damn I thought it was already REALLY expensive…
3:00 The problem with this case is that some industries become more efficient over time and get economies of scale. My understanding of the engineering realities of EV's is that in the long run the costs are expected to be lower than those of gas-powered vehicles (did a quick web search and found some articles confirming this).
So it's doing exactly what they want.
This what happens when the people who are running the country never had a real job.
Those inflation prices aren't included in the "core" PCE. Is it genius of the democrats to inflate prices that don't won't come up as "inflation numbers"?
Also, tariffs on steel and aluminum affect the construction industry hardcore. I'm an electrician that builds downtown buildings. All steel and aluminum in materials to build framing, hvac, electrical.
Thank you Ben for spreading the truth!
May I please say, FJB!
The tariffs only make sense if we bring the jobs back and make things that we use here in our country.
Most people have $700 car loans that they agreed to. Don’t worry people will waste their own money, inflation is almost irrelevant.
First time I'm seeing the new cartoon image of Ben. Love the bushy brows!
They play both ends against the middle! The target is the wealth & health of the people!
Talk about subsidies, how many trillion have the US taxpayers paid protecting oil, we didn’t love Kuwait when we sent armies, navy, the Air Force to liberate them, we loved their oil. We would pay no attention to the mid-east if they didn’t have oil. We always have a large (expensive) military presence there, all to protect the supply of oil for our vehicles

Not only are we facing the expiration of the current Fed income tax, Corp tax going back to 28 percent, capital gains 40 percent. The US consumer will be essentially paying a tariff tax. The straw that will break the camels back will soon be here.
How bout giving tax breaks to businesses that produce OR START in the U.S.
Thats not true it means there margins are fucked , now companies over seas will work on the same smaller margins as domestic manufacturing does. What the gov needs to do is also expand there policy and start breaking up big companies and create more competition.
Wow higher car prices. Higher prices from any Chinese manufacturers
Oh great. Just what I needed. A 25% rise in everything.
