Tell me about Trump Tarrifs

60% of all good are chinese imports

Trumps overall goal is to put more tariffs on imported goods. He has stated for his second term he plans to put a 60% tariff on all Chinese imports, 10% on all imports from all countries.  

Prodcution in other countires is cheaper mainly due to labor costs so that is one of the benefits of importig from other countries. Overall products can be produced and sold for a much lower price which can benefit american companies and consumers until a tariff is put on those imports.

different capitals owned by individuals can determine their positions in the social stratification structure, and further influence the pattern of social behaviors.

In this instance where you fall on the social structure does not matter because everyone would be effected by the tariffs. It would affect the goods and products we get but it would also effect the big companies. 

LA Fires

• 3 main fires that started this, the palisades in la neighborhoods located east of malibu began january 7th as a bush fire 

• Eaton just hours after the palisades fire began this blaze began near a canyon just north of downtown la

• Hughes on the morning of january 8th this fire began in the northern area la 

• Given the fires’ locations, and lack of lightning at the time, it’s likely that utility infrastructure, other equipment or human activities were involved.

• Research shows U.S. wildfires are up to four times larger and three times more frequent than they were in the 1980s and ’90s. Fast-moving fires have been particularly destructive, accounting for 78% of structures destroyed and 61% of suppression costs between 2001 and 2020.

• The Palisades and Eaton fires, along with other smaller blazes, have spread more than 40,000 acres (larger than the land area of Washington, DC), with the flames being fanned by a fierce windstorm known as the Santa Ana winds.
