No, it is not. Tariffs cause both.
When you make things cost more, you reduce the amount of that thing that is bought. Then less is produced, and fewer employees are needed to produce and sell it.
It’s not as if we can just automatically and immediately ramp up.
Those were the days when you did not want to buy a car built on a Monday or a Friday, or any day in between when the guys snuck in a few six packs while the shop steward looked the other way.
Why, as an American, should I care if a Chinese factory lays of some of it's slave staff because a US import tariff decreased demand for its product? I don't give a f***. Actually this makes me happy.
The fact that you cannot see the difference says a lot about YOU.
