Even if opting out of nafta was the right choice (that's a diff argument), don't you think any taxes and tariffs would be better used somewhere else? Building a wall is a ridiculous, frivolous and wasteful undertaking

like

You're delusional if you believe that claim of 15b. That might be the cost just for the California border. What about a wall do you see as beneficial? You don't think there's other ways that people get through illegally? Overstating tourist visas? Flying to Canada and then crossing the border from there. Hopping on a ship and then getting off there? How about the tunnels that are already built to bring across drugs?

Via taxes/tariffs collected on imports once we leave NAFTA. Not inconceivable.

If you leave NAFTA and are imposing trade and tariffs, there will be similar corresponding tariff increases on American goods (I'm aware there already are some tariffs in spite of NAFTA), which decreases American companies' net profits and the taxes they pay. So overall it's probably a wash. You can't just say "trade deficit"/tariffs/etc will pay for it ... that's not how it works

like

Morons. The tariff is not paid by Mexico. They are paid by the American consumer. Thanks

They're negotiating nafta right now. It was never going to be a cash check. And it's not that expensive anyways. $15B or so out of the trillion+ that'll be allocated for the total infrastructure rebuilding project.

like

Also, does anybody see an angle in which Mexico has any significant negotiating power whatsoever against Trump and the US? The country literally has nothing to offer.

like

Also, a large part of this tariff is just going to be paid by American consumers. So Mexico still ain't paying for crap even with the tariff

Don't necessarily disagree, but that's a different topic. This was on how said wall could realistically be paid for by Mexico.

like

Well, the justification of the taxes and tariffs is to build the wall. That is money that currently doesn't exist, so why not use it for the wall? Once the wall is built, it's all gravy. At the end of the day, the US gets a wall and gravy. Win-win. $15 billion also isn't that much. Although, I would bet they go over budget on it.

like

Also you are delusional about economics if you don't think us companies benefit immensely from trade with mexico. Do some research before you spew your ignorant drivel.

like

I understand that companies benefit from trade with Mexico, but if Mexico ceased to exist tomorrow, there wouldn't really be any negative long term impacts to the US. There are other countries in the world that can offer what Mexico does. The only advantageous thing about Mexico is the close proximity to the US, i.e cheaper shipping of goods.

We were going to go on a hike and had a hotel booked for a night. Texted him 5 min before arrival and when i was there to pick him up. He hopped in the shower. I got annoyed that he did that because i communicated beforehand to be ready. He didnt like that and said that he thinks that i think my time is more important than his... he canceled the trip and we are not speaking because of this incident... Am i crazy or something?

I had my PM 5 on-site interviews at Google yesterday! It was great except for my last interview. My estimation was maybe a 5/10. A few things happened: it was introduced with only 10 minutes, there was a surprise extra person shadowing, and my interviewer turned her camera and mic off twice turning that part of call. I wasn't sure if I should keep going or wait and late I day, I couldn't stop from being thrown. Is there any value in letting my recruiter know that the interview didn't go well?
