Now I'll never be able to afford games again
Nice going idiots
I'm convinced that people for tariffs are bots or literal Russian shills. There's no fucking world where tariffs are good for the average person.
Let's bring back low paying jobs to the US and substantially increase the price of any manufactured goods
Let's also kill the chips act for good measure and go all in on fucking Intel of all companies
Fucking retarded
Did the tariffs ever work? Chinese exports are still rising, highest under Trump.
Hey, can you please suck my dick?
fearmongering propaganda doesn't work, you know what hit gamers hard, reality, dei taking away jobs from qualified people and making terrible games, gas, and food prices
What do you think Xi is like, as a person?
Apparently his favorite movie is The Godfather. Not even joking.
free on pc. you retards still on those console boxes?
High end chips are made in taiwan, not china.
I’m all for getting rid of the income tax, but replacing it with tariffs might not work so well. Trump obviously wants to put them in place to push corpos into manufacturing here instead of importing, but they’ll probably just import anyway and raise prices.
I don't suck Jew cocks or buy Intel
Did the tariffs ever work
Lmao no. Just ask farmers that lost their Chinese customers to fucking Brazil.
This is just PC parts, not games. PC parts were already expensive under Biden. Nothing will change.
free on pc
what do you think will happen to pc parts?
protip: prices aren't going down
tariffs are intended to encourage spending on locally produced and manufactured goods
america doesn't manufacture jack shit since they moved everything overseas
all the food is produced by immigrant labor
nice going, ameritards
populism on the right, socialism on the left
what do?
Trump is not the president yet you fucking tard. How could they be "still rising" but the highest 4 years ago?
bring back low paying jobs to the US
As compared to having a job deficit, unless you consider working at McDonalds ""employment""? Sorry people still want slave labor, maybe you should shoot your nearest CEO, he ain't bulletproof and what else are you using the guns for?
They'll just skirt around it like last time, tariffs don't do anything unless the country in question NEEDS to trade with you to survive or you can supplement the materials with your remaining allies or your own land.
Nobody in the history of ever has actually asked a liberal for their opinion on politics.
interesting, can you point to an example of a ancap system that has sustained itself for 10+ years, to the present day?
have to drive everywhere to get to anywhere

surrounded by retards
now the cost of electronics will go up too
shit sucks
This image is satire right
God mary and joseph please say yes
Be real, can Trump actually do anything too dramatic? He couldn't during his first term. I doubt a single four years is going to make much difference.
They rose at a faster rate under Trump because the tariffs just made China look for new customers instead of the US

Let me tell where consoles are manufactured.
I'm okay with slave labor as long as I benefit
bad for consooooomers
great for Americans
hold on, is an inner-city ghetto technically working anarcho capitalism?
Yep, can't wait to see videos of fatfuck Americans try and fail to harvest their vegetables and build their houses after they kick all the immigrants out.
Anyone paying for AAA slop deserves it.
Oh now I wont to be able to buy any of the great upcoming games like...umm...
good.
They didn't work under Biden becausse they were too low and the corporations just pushed the cost onto the consumer by raising prices.
A lot actually raised the prices more than they needed so that they could gouge the end user more.
For tariffs to work they'd have to be high enough that the end user stops buying the product entirely, prompting the corporations to stop importing products or parts from China.
Why do people think he is even gonna do that?
but he said
You mean lie? You DO know everything they say is bullshit to win the competition right? Everything he said before he won was all lies, none of it is actually going to happen.
It's crazy to see "leftists" argue FOR slave labor overseas, and fewer jobs for the American people. Wild.
in his first term all the republicans were against him
since then they've all changed their tune or checked out of the party
This, you people are why we get games like fucking Concord.
Trump's too late. China is already producing their own stuff, which is rapidly improving. Their cars, tech, even video games, is nothing like 8 years ago. China is far more influential and less dependent on the US today. His strategy barely worked the first time, does he really think it will work now?
Do you agree vee?
I was not expecting this foil to be canon.
Heres my plan to fix the economy!!!!
Deport all the people willing to work the shit jobs
Tariffs to fuck every other person over
People voted for this unironically
this, him saying hes against project 2025 when in reality he is all in on it.
but who's gonna do something about the payment processors
hooP eht einniW?
xhe's defending multinational corporations unironically
Consoles will eat the cost, pc is always looking for an excuse to double the prices. Very much not comparable.
Why the fuck would business owners want to bring back low paying jobs when they can just automate that shit? Look at textiles, people bitch about NAFTA killing it but 80% of the workforce was already canned from automation anyway before NAFTA.
He certainly CAN. He's got all three branches of government on lockdown, staffed with people loyal to him unlike last time, and he doesn't have to worry about reelection (that's the reason why presidents tend to go more extreme on second term). The question is WILL he?
Can someone explain to me how the United States existed before all the Guatemalans existed to work labor jobs or at McDonalds? Were the pioneers actually fat little brown goblins?
>For tariffs to work they'd have to be high enough that the end user stops buying the product entirely, prompting the corporations to stop importing products or parts from China.
This doesn't work, China just looked for other countries to buy their goods instead. It's just a tax on US consumers and US manufacturers lose out on business due to retaliation tariffs.
Nice going idiots Anonymous
I am a Brazilian who can afford games, so can you burguer.
And to think this all started because some cumgargling bitch couldnt keep her grubby hands out of video games.
Could have just left the bread and circuses alone...
hit gamers hard how? what's there fucking play? there are no games that are coming out that is worth upgrading your PC for
affording video games
Nigga, they're literally free.
Now Republicans control the house, the senate, and the Whitehouse, as well as the Supreme Court. He can do pretty much anything he wants
well to be fair the opponent just kept pretending everything was fine because numbers went up while the average person got poorer, horrible messaging

You need black people in your life you racist incel.
No! Biden, don't strangle Kosaka-chan! Smell her! Smell her!
trump brings back slavery
uhh based
Napoleon Bonaparte appreciator
Based, Napoleon did nothing wrong
brings order to the chaos of the French Revolution
saves France from aggressors
brings primitive democracy to conquered aggressors
fucks off before he can become a problem
Anarcho capitalism is one of the biggest retarded stuff ever shouted. The moment a govern supposedly fall, the army and crime lords will be the ones taking over. If not your neighbor country invading to "restore democracy"
What if we just start making gamer chips in the US? Then we'd get them for cheap right.
people voted trump cuz of muh economy
all of his policies promote inflation
can't even afford vidya with how expensive it'll get
The US was fucking poor until Europe fucked itself over with World War 1/2 where we started transitioning from manufacturing to a service economy which has higher profit margins. We also used slavery.
people voted trump cuz the opposition was an unhinged mixed race niggerfaggot
Have the same number of people working more machines. If that many machines don't exist, they'll have to be made.
We can't keep giving money to China. If anything, fuck the Middle East, we should be invading people who still use Chinese slave labor, under the context of supporting their ecological disasters of industries.
So do you think he prefers Trump over Biden? I always felt that Xi and Trump got along well at least before pandemic. Will they get along well this time?
All these people getting upset that Trump wants to stop people from buying products from slave labor and sweat shops.
Man I didn't know that dems were so into slavery.
150$ games incoming
The US is the single biggest market for Chinese products. It would work if the tariffs did. The problem is that right now the tariffs are too low so it's not affecting China at all, only US businesses, because Americans are idiots who will pay extra for Chinese products.
I unironically wouldn't trust even pants getting made in burgerland
A 10% tax on 0.00 is still 0.00.
we should be invading people who still use Chinese slave labor
You sound like a neocon. The Cheney days are over, chud
Oh, no. Shoot. How am I gonna enjoy video games if I'm not constantly buying new electronics and software? This hobby is entirely about conspicuous consumption and not playing fun games, after all.
Wait, this retard is going after CHIPS? What negative is there to not only getting chip manufacturing made domestically but also not having it centralized on an island constantly under threat by China?
People voted trump because they were sick of the dems pushing retarded irrelevant issues like DEI hiring mandates and naturalization for illegal immigrants
Nobody cares what Trump's policy is, because whatever it is it can't be dumber than Harris' (who btw proposed price ceiling on groceries, which is a far more economically dubious move than tariffs)
And you'd rather tank the economy and destroy your livelihood for decades to come just so that le annoying Latina can't get in?
Inflation is a product of monetary policy, not fiscal policy.
I liked Anon Babble more when there was less propaganda posted on it.
Trump doesn't want China to overtake America. That's literally it. Just like banning abortion is to raise the birth rate, and has nothing to do with Christian values.
Prosecuting price gouging bad
Extra tariffs good
America deserves what it gets
Yes. Trump can be manipulated with money. Biden placed 100% tariffs on Chinese EVs.
the video game industry will suffer because of this
GOOD.
have PC already that will play games for next 10 years
pirate everything
wont effect me
and the corporations just pushed the cost onto the consumer by raising prices.
As opposed to?
Higher tariffs just results in this but even worse. Unless you're talking about tariffs so hard that it just kills whatever market the tariff is on.
But there is no scenario where tariffs aren't inflationary.
For tariffs to work they'd have to be high enough that the end user stops buying the product entirely, prompting the corporations to stop importing products or parts from China.
How is that a success?
If that's what you consider a "success" then it's not a tariff you want, but a ban. Maybe a ban with exceptions, but you want hard restrictions and limitations. Not a tariff. If a tariff kills the market then there isn't even anyone to pay the tariff. At which point the tariff serves no purpose. And if you say that is indeed the purpose, then why ever propose tariffs in the first place? If you want to kill the imports instead of taxing the imports, then kill the imports instead of taxing the imports.
Tariffs are import tax. The purpose of an import tax is not to kill imports. It's to tax imports.
The problem is that right now the tariffs are too low so it's not affecting China at all,
It did effect the Chinese they just sell elsewhere. Look at the basedbean farmer shit that happened under Trump. American farmers lost out to fucking Brazilians because of the tariffs.
the shit jobs
You're right on tarriffs but you're retarded here. The "shit jobs" are called entry-level jobs and it's how your father (who you don't know) was able to work 4 years digging ditches to move up with his work experience to working in an office.
Now you have Pablo and Fuentez who crowd every entry-level job, making them untenable and paying literally nothing, and pushing the regular Americans who would normally get their start there into colleges to saddle them with $100,000 debt before they have their first job. Good work Uncle Sam. The tariffs thing is just stupid but the "THEY WORK THE JOBS WE DON'T WANT" shit was a literal piggy psy-op by billionaires to destroy the lower-middle class who relied on those to get their foot in the door of the labor market for cheap.
Americans don't actually know what inflation is
They think any kind of price increase is inflation
What if we just start making gamer chips in the US?
they tried that but they never managed to build the factory because DEI policies required they hire women, trannies, niggers, etc, instead of competent people
Black slaves from Africa and whatever in the south, and white slaves (irish and chinese) everywhere else.
oy vey mods shut down this off topic thread
Did the tariffs ever work.
Nope. Google Smoot-Hawley tariff act.
They didn't work under Biden becausse they were too low and the corporations just pushed the cost onto the consumer by raising prices.
This is what all tariffs do. The tariffs you're talking about were also passed by Trump, Biden just kept them in place.
For tariffs to work they'd have to be high enough that the end user stops buying the product entirely, prompting the corporations to stop importing products or parts from China.
Why would any corporation return manufacturing to the US because of this? Factories can take years to relocate, and the next president could just do away with the tariffs entirely.
Also to build products in America would mean American workers having to take a pay cut while the price of basic goods increase. If Trump actually does this the way he says it will crater the economy and the Republicans will own it.
The supreme court ruled he's above the law to point he's allowed to assassinate anyone with impunity (Trump's lawyers actually made that argument), and the staff members who stopped his worst impulses during the first term will be replaced with yes men who will carry out his orders with zeal. So everything he said he's going to do? He's going to do them.
The real question is, will Trump do something like suspend the Constitution since he's already said he wants to do that too, 'terminate' it in his words.
How would getting rid of unskilled labour tank an economy that's already in shambles?
I never said tariffs were good
Calling price ceilings "prosecuting price gouging" is utterly absurd. The market should be able to prevent price gouging, and if it can't then the govt has fucked up by allowing a monopoly. The solution is to enforce antitrust laws, not to apply an arbitrarily chosen cap on prices
They certainly do. China's influence rose fast under Trump. Trump alienated America from its allies and China too advantage of that. Plus, there is no threat of full out war under Trump. They can handle tariffs and Trump's stupidity benefits them.
He won't do shit, and you are fearmongering.
bro trump will assassinate all his enemies and destroy the constituion
lmfao
The US is the single biggest market for Chinese products
NTA but thats because the US is big and cheap for now. But the US is also only 300m people. If China can't sell to the US, they will sell to the other 7 billion people on earth.
Dude just let businesses hire illegal immigrants for absolute shit wages by dangling a promise of a greencard in their face
Americattle is mentally retarded
No fucking way!!!!!!
He wants to scrap the entire act because companies like TSMC benefit from it as well instead of just American companies which is fucking retarded because Intel is a goddamn dumpster fire right now that can't compete.
Yes :D
yes
Mike Johnson revealed it to a student journalist like a retard then Brandon Williams had to wrangle him
youtu.be
oh no I have to pay an extra 10$ for chinese garbage!
literally no one cares
Cope more chang, business moves literally 50 miles into vietnam and no more tarif.
How hard will the tariffs hit Genshin?!?!?!
BUY games??
If 2 people disagree who owns a plot of land, how are they going to resolve that conflict in an ancap society?
NTA/Faggot but where the fuck did he say Tariffs are good there?
Were the pioneers actually fat little brown goblins?
No. They were poor.
Is that what you want to go back to?
Non-america here, could you guys please explain to me how the side with two literal billionaires are "for the american people"? I thought they were more about having cheap labor for maximum profit? Are his policies that good or is it just tribalism?
Let me break it down in simple term you brainlet.
Selective tariffs on things we make in the US = Good
Tariffs on literally everything including shit America sucks at making (like video games) = COMPLETELY FUCKING RETARDED!
TIL: leftists go full Libertarian free market economics the second a republican gets in power
The US was the most powerful economy in the world before WW1. Slavery preceded this prosperity by several decades, so attributing success to this is silly.
you are already poor retard, wages have not budged in decades and maccas costs you like $20
Trump cares about money and himself. The only thing of actual note that was his idea and he executed quickly was giving himself tax cuts.
Who cares what he thinks or wants to do, its the people around him you should be worried about. Like the evangelical retards who want to ban the internet, porn and gaming.
US and EU started building chip manufacturing facilities 8 years ago, they are just now becoming operational. They did this due to increased tensions with China due to there position on Taiwan.
NTA but I did not vote for either. I voted for Sanders.
Paying protection dues to a local militia
Yes this is actually what ancaps believe would work
business moves literally 50 miles into vietnam and no more tarif.
You mean Chinese businesses do. They make 99% of their products in China, then the remaining 1% in Vietnam to evade the tariffs. That's what they've BEEN doing.
There's a ton of retards that though the foreign companies would pay the tariffs. The republican party is literally entirely retards who have no idea how things actually work, and then people taking advantage of those retards.
You're right on tarriffs but you're retarded here. The "shit jobs" are called entry-level jobs and it's how your father (who you don't know) was able to work 4 years digging ditches to move up with his work experience to working in an office.
Entry level jobs in manufacturing used to be able to support a family years ago. Guess what you can buy now on minimum wage.
Have you seen my rent and groceries cost you utter retard?
He's not going to do the stuff he said he's going to do and push the limits of his the powers, because, he just won't.
Not the most compelling counter argument.
Meant to reply to
Why would Russia care? They are already embargoed by the west while the west still buys their oil at a markup from vendors buying the Russian oil thru India. Also Russia got China right next to them. Its a Russian non issue, enough coping, Hilary.
Sorry but the illegal slave labor is going to stop.
I really hope that the liberals realize that all of the “white” nationalists on the internet are spics soon so we can finally do something about them
Trump won. Crying here wont change anything
Honestly the US should instead ally with China to pressure the Russians instead.
Makes geopoltical and economic sense.
I love slavery
Now if you'll excuse me I need to tell Grandma to kill herself for upvotes
The 41% will soon be 42%
Nothing ever happens.
This dude will say he'll be hard on China, then immediately sell out as soon as he gets into office.
i laugh because i would love for him to send snipers after hillary and beginning putting gays and mexicans into death camps
we know that isnt going to happen, the republican today is the democrat of 1995
Yeah and thank the retards who voted him in for that.
DEI TOOK URR JERBS!!!!
What games have you made?
Why is it that you guys think he won't do the things he's said he will do? What causes you to think this?
you are already poor retard
And therefore the conditions of pre-industrialized, post-colonial settler America, were somehow better? Richer?
No.
Are his policies that good or is it just tribalism?
It's just tribalism induced by the state-endorsed news media in this country.
Both of the major political parties here are openly bought and paid for by AIPAC, the American Israel Public Affairs Committee. The red and blue teams serve the same masters: political Zionists.
We had the blacks and then the Irish
It's not like the president is actually in charge. If his bosses want something dramatic then you'll get dramatic. Probably won't like it though.
Trans rights are not negotiable
why do people keep saying this like there wasn't a 4 year period with him before that you survived just fine?
Don't bother.
as long as it gets troons killed and we have a cleansing of undesirables in the game industry im all for it
Not even joking
non western source..........?
Gamers played themselves.
Minesweeper.
A huge win for Tiktok and gacha!
How the fuck do you apply tariffs to digital goods?
Is it even possible?
tariffs are a bargaining tool retard
I'm sure they are talking about hardware.
