gamers nexus just dropped a 3 hour video where they talk to various companies involved in the consumer PC space, some of whom really open up about their costs and economics and how operating in america just isnt feasible under the current tariffs
Somehow everything will become more expensive in Europe too
And somehow those prices won’t really drop when the tarriffs are quietly removed.
I’m looking at you, energy prices.
Watch the Louis Rossman segment of the video, where he actually makes a pretty good point about why the price doesn’t go back down: https://youtu.be/1W_mSOS1Qts?t=5774
Louis part alone needs to be extracted out as a separate one. Interesting.
Fascinating perspective, I hadn’t considered the business confidence angle but the metaphor of the body storing more energy from a feast after starvation was great
Exactly. Uncertainty leads to higher prices, because businesses need to weather potential higher costs to them. Protectionism leads to higher prices, because it cuts out foreign competition, and competition is what leads to lower prices.
Louis Rossmann is 100% correct here IMO.
