President #JoeBiden hung on to a signature piece of his predecessor's economic policy: #tariffs on imports of Chinese goods. We explore why they've been kept in place, and what it means to U.S. companies.

The 1893 case of Nix v. Hedden ruled that tomatoes are vegetables, not fruits, for tariffs, imports, and customs.

The Supreme Court used the ordinary meanings of the words rather than the botanical definition.

Fruit merchant Nix sued customs inspector Hedden over a tomato tariff, but the Court sided with Hedden, stating that fruits and vegetables had no special meaning in commerce.

Since 2017, US has continuously increased #tariffs against #China. The reason for the #tariffs was, among other things, to protect its own industry, which was put under pressure by the low prices of #Chinese goods, chart @SGKB_News

#Trump is Truth Socialing about his new #AmericaFirst “tax plan” which would raise taxes on all Americans. Using Universal #tariffs he’s going to tax every country for imports.

Yeah… I typed that out correctly. He still doesn’t understand and it’ll always boggle my mind how we let such an unintelligent person assume the Presidency.

“The average US tariff rate on women’s undergarments is 15.5%, compared to just 11.5% for men’s.”

“Tariffs on US underwear are regressive, meaning that cheap materials tend to be taxed more than fancy, expensive fabrics. That likely comes from US manufacturers feeling more threatened by overseas competitors making cheap undies for the masses, as opposed to luxury goods.”

"In the end, these protectionist policies proved ineffective at shielding U.S. companies from competition... But the tariffs as they were crafted decades ago continue anyway, with their same class and gender biases.

The U.S. tariff system is pretty broadly regressive in other ways, too, given that lower-income consumers spend a higher share of their budgets on products subject to import duties."

"Incidentally, gender is not the only dimension on which U.S. trade policies are systemically discriminatory. The even starker pattern... involves disparate impacts by income class...

This regressive tariff pattern exists across many categories. “Almost invariably, things made of cheap, simple materials meant for mass markets are taxed more heavily than those made for elite, richer buyers,”"

Opinion piece by Catherine Rampell (Washington Post): "What women’s underwear tells us about our trade system"

"...gender is not the only dimension on which U.S. trade policies are systemically discriminatory. The even starker pattern Gresser (a former U.S. trade official, now a vice president at the Progressive Policy Institute) and other researchers have identified over the years involves disparate impacts by income class."

"he found that ladies’ undergarments are systematically taxed at higher rates than men’s.

The average U.S. tariff rate on men’s underwear is 11.5 percent. The average rate on women’s undies, on the other hand? It’s a few points higher, at 15.5 percent....

Unfairness on underwear reflects a broader, bizarrely anti-lady pattern in our trade system: With a few exceptions, men’s apparel items are more lightly tariffed than women’s."
