Comment on Dear Americans, be prepare to get screwed!
Kolanaki@yiffit.net 1 month agoIf country A sells most of an export to country B and country B makes it harder for country A to sell to country B, country A may raise prices for countries C, D and E to make up for the losses caused by country B.
Could country A try to decrease exports to country B and increase exports to country C, D, and E, perhaps by lowering the cost in C, D, and E?
I don’t have any evidence for this, and this is just too long for me to read at this late hour. www.imf.org/-/media/Files/…/wp1909.ashx
Yeah, I’d think they’re going to produce what they are going to produce and will adjust allocation and prices to accommodate the demand change in the tariff country.

Yeah those fuckers would be included, which is why the figure doesn’t work but also getting too pedantic would make it far less quippy, so…
