Implying I could afford that shit in the first place 🤡
Any reason for the unnecessary outlining and underlining instead of just cropping the picture decently? Ffs
It’s a shitpost. You may want to check your expectations.
Tbf, this makes it more shitpost
but then we wouldn’t get to see the pretty boat!
That’s all cool and nice, but let’s see what happens to the prices when Taiwan gets invaded.
No need to invade when their economy collapses internally and Beijing can step up to buy the whole island out from the bargain basement bin.
There’s still the rest of the global electronics market
Had
a friendan acquaintance of mine say that this wouldn’t happen because “Trump hates China so he’ll defend Taiwan” He’ll also “support Israel so Iran won’t get so uppity!” He also believes that whilst Ukraine is probably fucked, at least the war will be over.That’s nice, isn’t it?
Ah the poor soul! Having to hear about the Ukraine war!!! He’s just too precious, how dare we inconvenience him by keep this in the news???
Even my girlfriend, who doesn’t really do politics, turned to me and said “but surely Putin then just goes after his next target like Hitler did”
It’s pretty telling when someone who struggles with politics in general understands it better than a guy who spent time in Afghanistan.
And that’s exactly it. Putin has literally made no secret that he wants to take back, by force, every former SSR he can’t force into CSTO. The Baltics, Moldova, Poland, Finland probably. Then south to Georgia, Armenia, and who knows where it’ll stop - maybe he’ll be dumb enough (and live long enough) to try to start Afghanistan War #4.
That’s why he needs Trump to sabotage and get the U.S. to leave NATO. If he gets the U.S. out of there and convince Hungary/ Germany to slowly turn against Poland… the odds slowly keep changing
Ah… appeasement. Certainly that worked out for everybody involved…
“Peace for our time!”
Neville Chamberlain.
I hate this because for Europe it will become expensive too, just for the heck of it.
Do his tariffs affect exports to the EU as well? Idk economics and I wanna buy a Framework laprop next year
If country A sells most of an export to country B and country B makes it harder for country A to sell to country B, country A may raise prices for countries C, D and E to make up for the losses caused by country B.
So what I’m hearing is, we should all be very mad with the Americans?
A bit over a half of them, yeah. (I do realise that voters aren’t 100% of the population but)
Eligible voters that chose not to, were they just fine either way?
Yeah those fuckers would be included, which is why the figure doesn’t work but also getting too pedantic would make it far less quippy, so…
Could country A try to decrease exports to country B and increase exports to country C, D, and E, perhaps by lowering the cost in C, D, and E?
I don’t have any evidence for, and this document is just too long for me to read at this late hour. [IMF - Macroeconomic Consequences of Tariffs](Macroeconomic Consequences of Tariffs. https://www.imf.org/-/media/Files/Publications/WP/2019/wp1909.ashx)
Yeah, I’d think they’re going to produce what they are going to produce and will adjust allocation and prices to accommodate the demand change in the tariff country.
Oh no, what will I ever do if I can’t keep buying stuff I dont need.
“Americans might have trouble expressing greedy tendencies under a Trump presidency.”
The entitlement of americans is absurd. Palestinian children are killed with made in america bombs while our population weeps over its loss of made in china electronics.
Clearly the american dream is dead if you can’t replace your computer every year.
Your post right there? That’s one of the reasons Harris lost.
Of course people (not just Americans) are selfish. Doesn’t matter if it’s good or not, that’s just the factual truth. The Republicans knew how to work with that, by selling the voters a solution to the things that actually interested them. That’s also what helped Obama (“Hope”, though a bit vague) and Bill Clinton (“It’s the economy, stupid”) get elected (Yes, it also didn’t hurt that they were rock stars). Now the Democrats are perceived not only as a party that’s not willing to work on issues that concern them, but as actually criticizing them for wanting what they want.
Fuck.
It hasn’t even started yet and I know that I have 4 more years of this stupidity news ever single day
Oh wait
Since Trump will install himself as a dictator, then die, we have a few decades of couche fucker Vance to look forward to, yeeeiii
I’m not convinced we’ll go even a single decade of this regime without total socioeconomic collapse.
The Hitler lasted from July 1932, and Hitler killed himself in April 1945 - 13 years.
Mussolini lasted from 1922 to his execution in 1945 - 23 years.
Stalin lasted 1924-1953 - 29 years.
Fascism inevitably implodes and crates untold suffering along the way, but you might have longer than you think.
The main difference is that in equal measure to being a fascist, Trump is an idiot.
Fascism and idiots - I couldn’t name a more iconic duo - though I do agree with you point… Trump is exceptionally stupid, and has surrounded himself with gibbering idiots like Musk and RFK.
…that said, when Trump’s heart inevitably explodes, Vance will almost certainly have competent (evil) advisors, and they’ll get (horrible) shit done.
something about leopards and faces
Seeing a stark void of “Fuck China” posts all of a sudden. Crazy what happens when the treat train gets held up at the border.
So much for building that new desktop.
You’ve got a couple months…
TIL, lots of Trumps voters don’t even know how tariffs work and thought the foreign companies are the one who paid those instead of the domestic buyers themselves.
Doesn’t matter who the tax is levied against. All costs will be passed on to the buyer. They should be familiar with this idea. It’s the Republican’s key talking point against business taxes.
Even if, did they think prices would just stay the same? Tariffs only work if production is moved back home, which for many industries won’t happen, which means costs will be passed on to consumers.
Also, the costs would still be passed on to consumers even if the production was moved back home, because it will cost more in general. And gotta keep those profit margins up.
Mexico about to make a killing in shipping.
They already have been. China has been working at circumventing restrictions by basically offloading raw materials or parts to Mexico and having them build the product to ship to the US.
Hola world.
American Kazahstan.
Its a shame I don’t have enough for solar yet. If you get it now its like getting a free battery if they are all getting a 40% hike. Probably gonna get rid of the tax incentive too cause the rich need it more too right?!
Probably worth financing it. What you lose in interest costs will probably be worth it if these tariffs go through.
You aren’t wrong but my goals to pay off my car loan first and that should be done in a year. Sucky timing I guess.
The average yank was ready to endorse genocide to preserve his first world lifestyle lmao what a bunch of sickos
Rich get richer, poor people suffer. Americans are so f dumb i cant take it
Isn’t this exactly what Trump said Harris was gonna do and that he was gonna not do?
