you need to learn how to do proper research and not just take media's word as gospel
Good point. Have you concluded the research of the tariff formula's divisor yet?
YOU thought the i
mports was the bigger number
actual fact is the e
xports
from [country] was the bigger number
x - m
____ = 2
m
remember the explainer was the RECIPROCAL RATE.. it was not 'tariff amount'
and when doing the math for all countries, the unweighted average came to 2 aka /2 aka 2:1 discount
if you were to invert the math your way and add up all countries math to get an unweighted average.. guess what number.. 0.5 aka 50% discount
you took so long getting it wrong that in the meantime world dynamics of communication/diplomacy had changed the plan.. trump actually changed away the model of the 50% discount and moved onto a case by case amount depending on if countries were friendly or hostile with their responding rates
so its time you catch up and realise your media you adore set up back and wasted your time.. kinda good for you because you dont have to work it out no more.
