 The problem is the West had moribund economies, with an aging declining population so there was a decreasing demand for products so economies were shrinking and living standards were falling trading with the East reversed part of that trend however the downside is the reduction in wages for Western workers. I dislike that same as any man however how do you solve the basic problems of the aging and declining population?

I offer this story as further evidence about how the tariffs are working, or not working, within North America.  Further to Jan's informative comments on this previously, it is interesting to see some of the corporate wrangling that is going on here.  I think it's a pretty well written article with a relatively, relatively, minor political slant.  Anyone care to break it down further based in information/knowledge you may have?

The X12 driver has a ribbed shaping in the surround that Paradigm calls the ‘ART’ surround. ART is the name Paradigm has given to their patented surround design that uses a pleated ‘ribbing’ over the length of the surround; it is an acronym which stands for Active Ridge Surround. Supposedly, ART allows for more headroom than conventional half-roll designs. When typical surrounds are stretched at high excursions, particularly in the inward-stroke, deformations can occur from the high tension, and these deformations can cause distortion or even tears in the surround. This ridged surround design by Paradigm supposedly reduces these deformations by directing material stress to points that can better cope with it due to the shape of the surround. Paradigm claims that ART allows 1.5 times the excursion for the same surround roll that results in a 3 dB increase in headroom.

The biggest whack, and win, would be to hit the Canadians with a 25% auto tariff.  Some 85% of Canadian production goes straight to the US market, thus enriching Canadian (highly paid) auto workers at the expense of US jobless workers.  Personally, I anticipate that Trump will do that, notwithstanding the howls you will hear from anyone and everyone.  Also, remember that a large number of US plants have closed as Mexican assembly plants started up; a hefty duty against Mexican-assembled autos will sting.  Right now Volkswagen has a large assembly operation in Mexico with the product immediately shipped to the US, including the Beetle.  US VW production is only for the Passat model, which is a nice seller, but I don't think consumes the volumes that would keep Trump from tariffing Mexican production. There are some ten auto plants in Mexico that ship their product to the US.  Also, a number of engine casting plants are set up in Mexico, including (strangely enough) the engine casting plants for Outboard Marine Corp and I believe The Mercury boat motors.  All of that is work taken away from Wisconsin, home of Paul Ryan as I recall.  Don't be surprised that the auto parts industry gets slapped with tariffs. Would that upset the auto makers?  But of course.  So what?  It will push that work back into the US, no question.  (The result for Canada would be acutely unpleasant, probably pushing the country in a recession and a 40-cent dollar). 

Reviewers have nothing but great things to say about this foaming eyelid cleanser, which works to help get rid of oil, debris, pollen, and other harmful irritants from the eyelids. Because of that, it can be terrific for alleviating symptoms from blepharitis to psoriasis and more. "I used to get psoriasis flare-ups on my eyelids and other parts of my body. With some research I discovered this product from Ocusoft," wrote one reviewer. "It works really well to gently deflake the scales and is not irritating."

At one point you seemed to think I am pro globalisation, maybe you still do, but I will reiterate my view point. The problem is the West had moribund economies, with an aging declining population so there was a decreasing demand for products so economies were shrinking and living standards were falling trading with the East reversed part of that trend however the downside is the reduction in wages for Western workers. I dislike that same as any man however how do you solve the basic problems of the aging and declining population? Closing borders and going inwards only accelerates the end. My view is that rising Eastern standards of living and costs will meet declining Western wages and living standards at a midway point so we will not hit the bottom. I base this theory on observation of my friends in IT who were one of the first professional sectors to encounter the cheap labour of India. Their rates fell from about 10 to 1 to about 3 to 1 and have levelled out there to be fair they were paid double what I earned, I am an O&G I&C engineer, so the reduction has not really made them paupers and they still earn a good living and can get better rates that the 3 to 1 reduction for a bit harder work that they used to do, again they did not seem to have been unduly over worked previously.
