Economy US Imposes 19% Tariff on Thailand in Major Trade Shift
Not quite as generic but yes. If I hated Ford, would never ever want to own one because in my mind it's considered a pile of [insert dirty word here], then even if it was cheaper than competitors, I still would not want to buy it. On the flip side, if I really loved that thing, but it was double the price of a competitor, for example, but I really really wanted it, I'd still buy it anyway. You have this example with luxury goods in Thailand. People still buy Rolexes etc. despite being considerably more expensive than other brands, and considerably more expensive than in other countries. In fact you can buy a new one in Hong Kong (or US) cheaper than a second hand one in Thailand. But did that stop people from buying them? It didn't. Some just found a way to smuggle them in, others coughed up whatever it cost locally. But when they wanted to have it, they made it happen. On the other side, you could see someone trying to give something away for free and it's still not accepted as it is undesired. But of course, there will be people on tight budgets who only look at the price, have no brand loyalty, don't care about quality or where it came from... Obviously those would be only swayed by price and take all the freebies they can get. But how many of those would go for a US manufactured product vs. whatever is the cheapest on the market, probably something Chinese? -
