American Therapist on Tariffs: "I See People Struggling Every Day"

The impact of US-China tariffs is a complex issue with far-reaching consequences. This TikTok video offers a glimpse into the daily lives of ordinary Americans affected by these policies. In an interview, a therapist in the US shared that his annual household expenses are around $200,000. He believes that if iPhones were manufactured in the US, they would cost approximately $4,000 due to higher labor costs and distribution expenses. He noted that the tariffs have not significantly impacted his personal finances, but he is concerned about their effects on working-class Americans who are struggling to make ends meet. "I see people who are struggling every day," he said, "and I have clients who work two or three jobs just to pay rent." This highlights the economic disparity and the challenges faced by many Americans amidst changing economic landscapes.
