You guys are underestimating how hard the tariffs will hit

Remember that electronic products in general(like PCs, phones and consoles) will not only be subject to the regional tariffs, but also the 25% auto tariffs and the 25% aluminum tariffs. And these are CUMULATIVE. Everyone focusing on the retaliatory tariffs is in for a surprise when they realize the announced industry and commodity tariffs haven't gone anywhere.

Basically, you're stuck with whatever hardware you have now until you're willing to pay 200-250% of the original price of the product. The point is to truly make the American market inaccessible unless you move your manufacturing here, this isn't a half measure.

Didn't Vietnam already agree to remove all tariffs if America did the same? Seems like Trump raised the stakes and they folded.

This is why I built a new pc last year once Tariffman won. I knew prices would hit the ceiling. He literally told everyone he would do it and they were either too dumb to understand or didn't believe him.

policy evolve over time most likely.

It was reported that they made the offer a few days ago but the US hasn't responded

He literally told everyone he would do it and they were either too dumb to understand or didn't believe him.

I guess most people assumed the tariffs would be sensible like they were in his last term and also under Biden

same. I just bought a pre-built though. I had originally intended to wait until the "next-gen" or whenever my series x became obsolete, but with the gpus being so expensive and trump I decided to pull the trigger early.

buy what you need now before it gets more expensive

switch 2 is basically a small computer

His statements on the campaign trail included saying China would get a flat 60% tariff and he listed other specific numbers for other countries as well although I don't recall the specific numbers for each. Pretty much China was all I needed to know. If people listened to his words, and believed him, they would've known what was coming.

Pay up tendie piggie

Taiwan tariffs already excluded semiconductors. Your blog post is from a retard

I got my 5080 before the first price increase. feels good man

min2.jpg - 768x1024, 196.39K

That means semis that go from Taiwan to the US. But once they go to China and are integrated into a product made in China, that's it. It gets the 54% Chinese tariff+ whatever else.

Same

Everything she eats goes to one place. And it's right there.

Australia have strong trade agreements with japan and taiwan
already preordered two switch 2s for 425 US
feels really good man, enjoy that pumped up price burger bros kek

This isn't even the same class of tariffs, OP's article are the Auto Industry tariffs which also include consumer electronics for some reason

Put it on ebay for like 5k

Cars include a lot of electronics now, anon

Vietnam has 7% tariffs on US goods.
US has 46% tariffs on Vietnamese goods.

You think they're gonna drop 46% to 0% if Vietnam drops 7% to 0%?

Here's waiting for that revised Switch 2 pricing.

Yeah but why the fuck are they hitting electronics which aren't in cars, how does that protect the auto industry

Nintendo should just not sell the Switch 2 in the US just for the lulz. I'd support it.

It's gonna be revised from $450 to $900

You guys are underestimating how little people not in the US give a shit.

muh tarrifs

Jewtendo was charging extra even for DIGITAL downloads of games not subject to tarrifs. Why are lefties so economically illiterate?

At the tradeoff of living in Australia. My bills could double overnight and I’d still choose that over living in your shithole.

These tariffs aren't meant to protect industries in the US, anon, or else they would've been targeted. Instead they're meant to force companies to manufacture every product they sell here (which the tariffs will absolutely fail at doing because there is no supply chain or factory base for moving manufacturing of all these products to the US, and it would take more than 4 years to build up such a base, by which time Drumpf will no longer be president and the tariffs will be gone).

I mean that's what they do in South America where a lot of countries have different tariffs and import taxes which cumulatively add up to close to 100% of the product's price. Basically it's up to the retailer to import them, some units go through official channels and some are smuggled so the market price is the average of the two

It's funny because everyone in the whole world is mad at nintendo prices but only anglos turn this into a US only problem

Because when you import shit into a country, there's distinct product categories under which shit falls under. And it happens that automotive computers and laptops are all under the same import code.

it's all part of the Japanese export economy which are collectively retaliating under the government
Lot of countries probably starting to realise America are nothing more than Jewish Mafia shaking down everyone for protection and not delivering when called
Reckon it's hilarious everyone is abandoning them lmao

gonna feel good to ramp up a switch 2 to 10 times its normal value and get paid for it XD

Perhaps it's time you neoniggers quit your McDonald's job and become entrepeneurs in these new opportune fields.
Sometimes the best change hurts

I already have a I9 and 4090.

I won't need to upgrade for 4 more years.

extremely mad post haha

I'm not underestimating shit. You either act now (if you didn't already) or hold your peace for the foreseeable future. RIP Switch 2, but making a move on any other hardware was the thing to do weeks ago.

And it's right there.

Ellie Mae.jpg - 1440x2560, 241.52K

I really think TPTB are just trying to force Americans to go back to American entertainment because they don’t want to provide what people enjoy

France is the only country that has it good

410€ Switch

games at most 70€

nothing will actually happen, you people never learn

Remember how in The Watchmen, Nixon was president for 16 years? ...You best start believing in dystopian horror movies, because you're in one.

why are people more upset about these sweeping change which will affect every single product and cost the average household tens of thousands per year than a $10-20 increase on video game cartridges

Gee I wonder

Why are you angry at Australia?
You are the retards who backstabbed your frens, suffer the consequences brother

either act now (if you didn't already)

What action am I supposed to take

not American

Won't affect me lol

Always add *in the US to your posts.
This effects not a single country other than the US.
Any increase in tariffs are passed onto the customer. Always have been.
That's exactly why the Japan version is so much cheaper and the EU one will be cheaper than the US as well.

Taiwan tariffs already excluded semiconductors.

Semiconductors are not the same as consumer electronics.

This is an American website, "in the US" is implied unless stated otherwise

I hate trannies.

I have backlog.

You play the wall street casino you lose sometimes.

Not my problem.

Anon Babble in Australia is out in the bush

JP version is much cheaper because japs run 2 tier pricing against the west.

the EU one will be cheaper than the US as well

lol lmao

Well he might be full of shit but that's what Trump has claimed, that if a country drops the tariffs they have against America then America will do the same

no one has patience anymore I guess

Enjoy your infinite shitjeets

Trump's idea of what "tariff" means is completely wrong though so don't count on it. He also thinks that VAT is a tariff.

Literally getting what I voted for. I love my president.

good.

Brainlet here
Does this affect me if I'm not American and I don't plan on buying anything American? It sounds like America is having its own personal Covid, which sounds rough, sure, but that's not my problem.

Nigger he put tariffs on places with zero tariffs on US goods.

Americans have no concept of consequences. They just look at Asmongold reacting to Trump saying insane shit and go "KEK KEK BASED".

If you can pay $1,000 for a RTX 5070 Ti, you can pay $1,500 for it just as easily.

This whole freak out reminds me of that Anti Union ad from that airport telling you that unions dues costs as much as a new game console

Companies could raise prices on their products world wide so they won't have to raise them so dramatically in the USA.

So a carton of eggs basically

He also thinks that VAT is a tariff

Does it apply to American goods? Yes? Well then - it doesn't matter what you call it.

And why would they do that? Most countries have less buying power than in the US.

companies could lose money in every region instead of just america

But why?

Everything in the world is going to be more expensive for everyone

Gravity also applies to American goods. Are gravitational forces a tariff?

Good. It's time to start making computers in America again.

Makes sense. He wants companies to move their factories to America. Not to whatever country has the lowest tarifs.

spent second half of last year and 3 months this year trying to find work

get job just in time to get fucked anyway

Because there's more to having a successful product than just sales numbers, they'd be better off having more sales in a huge, influential market like the USA than losing those sales in America, even if they're technically being made up in some thirdie country.

you can blame the first part on the total economic meltdown we've been seeing since NAFTA

Generally, companies don't own the factories where their goods are manufactured. Third parties own the factories and are commissioned to make the products.

That makes zero fucking sense. Why would they want to be lucrative in a market where they can't price their products so that they make a profit?

I really give no shits
I have a job where my company pays for whatever I need
I have a 5090 and they paid for it
I'll be fine

Get back to me on this at the end of the month.

Do they pay for your food too?

He realizes he's only in office four years and whoever the next president is is going to immediately abolish the tariffs, right? No one's moving their factories here.

Yup, I was putting off buying a new tablet, then I went for it because I knew retardation like this would hit.

Here's hoping my steam deck lasts me two more years.

I don't care, I'm done with modern games, my old piece of shit still works for indieslop

We lived through four years of constant, everyday "THIS SHIT IS ACTUALLY FUCKING SCARY DUDES." Enjoy the fearmongering you stupid little faggot.

not really, it's mainly retaliation for tariffs placed on Japanese vehicles which is a major part of Japan's economy.
If you're frens with japan, taiwan and china your electronics and jap/chink vehicle prices will probably go down
Japan and China are actively seeking new trade agreements with non US countries as I post this.

Now I don't feel so bad for buying a scalped 5080.

No, not directly.
Iwhen I pop into the office I get lunch from the restaurant there 2x a week since they 2 in office days
and they do provide cereal/other breakfast foods 5 days a week

never forget that ps vita was wracked with hardware problems ranging from drifting joysticks all the way to failing gpus all cause vita was made in china unlike the 100% japanese psp

vita_dead_xd.png - 1181x806, 1.08M

My country is obsessed with buying useless tat from Temu so I can only assume we're besties

In that instance, they would still be making a profit; they would be spreading the tarriff difference out globally instead of concentrating it in America.
But, even if that wasn't the case, there's still major benefits to being a hit in America. Imagine if all of Minecraft's American sales were spread out amongst the thirdies instead and your average American wasn't familiar with it. Would there be a Minecraft movie with major Hollywood stars coming out this weekend? Would Minecraft be one of the biggest merch machines in the world?

The guy is nearly 80 years old and is angry at the world. Whatever he's doing is just to fuck people over he hates and to get more money for himself. Dude then goes golfing while MAGA keeps chanting his name.
The golden immigrant card is also peak comedy for him I imagine. He's just old and doesn't give a fuck.
Why Americans voted old demented fucks into office is another matter.

Odds are people listened and liked the long term, but never understood the short term. Many have a hard time connecting what politics they hear and connecting it with their life. I was for the idea, just didn't expect nintendo to pump this shit out RIGHT AT THE START.

I'll enjoy the show.

I'm sure he'd like to, but that's just not something that's going to happen.

Americans facing the stark reality they're not as important as they think they are

lol. enjoy your Intel arcs bros, should be at 3070 levels in 10 years KEK

Should have voted for Kamala

By this logic, we could have like four new Minecraft movies if we just made Americans pay 4x prices and gave three free copies of Minecraft to third-worlders for every purchase.

Say America is 50% of your global market

targeted console price before tariffs across all regions is $500

america imposes a 50% tariff

selling the console at $750 in America would lose you 80% of your sales in that region, or 40% of your total sales

The alternative strategy would then be:

split the cost of tariffs across all regions, standardizing the console price at $625

this only loses you 30% of sales in all territories

That would be the basic idea. Another factor is that when a customer buys a console, the majority of the money you'll make from that is not from the hardware itself, but games, online subscriptions, accessories etc. Historically American customers have spent more on those than Europeans, so they'd rather an American get their hands on a Switch 2 than an European

Should have voted for Bernie back in 2016.

Trump likes Russia so much he wants to turn America into an Eastern European shithole as well

He was a business man and we wanted a business man to fix the country, not a politician. But just like politics, the average person does not understand business. No one is ever happy in politics or business.

The dems destroyed their own party and now everyone has to deal with the consequences

Intel as a company is a perfect analogy for what's happening to America

bought a brand new car in January for $30k

just sold it today for $49k

can go back to my old beater with $19k in pocket

I love the tariffs. And there's no game my 3070 Ti cannot handle at 1080p, so what do I care?

Russias biggest trade partner is China, who Trump just tariffed the fuck out of.
At least you still have le greatest ally haha

I don't think anyone can stop him at this point. He does whatever he wants, he can ignore any law he doesn't like.

Nah. They're just going to do market research to determine how many units they should have ready for the US. They'll increase the price for Americans and produce fewer units for the US.

410€

No way. They're charging 650 to 750€ here.

t. Swede

You realize Bernie subscribes to the exact same boomer protectionist policies as Trump, right? He's defended tariffs since the 80s, he's gone quiet about it recently because it's bad optics to align with a political opponent

Seems to me you elected a clown to run the circus.

Americans laughed at thirdies making this exact post a year ago

KEK

This strategy makes no sense.

You're attempting to increase sales in a region where every sale LOSES you money. If you sell 100 units, you lose $12,500. If you 100x your sales, you lose $1.25 million.

And the way you are attempting to increase sales in a loss-making region is by reducing sales in a region where you actually can make a profit.

What the fuck does that have to do with anything I said
I'm not saying it will happen, I'm just explaining the idea

You don't even use euros you cunt.

Unironically this.

Someone is going to back down

price of tendie product might go up

Anon Babble immediately becomes Anon Babble-lite

Worst case scenerio I'll have to live off my backlog for the next few years while I wait for hardware prices to drop. Not the worst reality as I got dozens of games I've yet to play. Only game I'm looking forward to is GTAVI and its not coming out for pc probably for another two years.

Yeah but Bernie wanted to actually help Americans, not just enrich himself and his billionaire buddies.

Thats not how trade wars among major countries work. Instead its endless retaliation

You're attempting to increase sales in a region where every sale LOSES you money

You ignored my last point. The profit margin on the actual unit is just a small part of the expected value per unit sold over its use of life. Anyway I'm not saying it will happen, I don't think any of the factors needed for a decision like that can be estimated with any certainty at the moment

You think they're gonna drop 46% to 0% if Vietnam drops 7% to 0%?

I think the bigger retardation is believing that the main reason that Vietnam has such a loop sided trade imbalance with the US is because of their 7% tariff.

Why aren't the typical Vietnamese gooks who only make 4,000 USD a year buying mountains of the most expensive US made products?

444743.png - 1000x743, 84.19K

Trump will back down when the (((markets))) screech at him like he has done every time something he's done has pissed them off.

naw, bernie is also sucking millionare dick which he shut up about ever since he became one

if you haven't noticed, there are only clowns in this circus (and bearded women)

Can anyone explain to me why this cunt is so angry at the world to begin with? Why the fuck is he making an enemy out of everybody? Yeah he's not waging a military war but it's a form of war he's announced nonetheless.

The profit margin on the actual unit is just a small part of the expected value per unit sold over its use of life

No, that's just a completely different thing. That's just the printer and ink model, where you sell the initial product at a loss and then make the profit on addon sales.

Trying to kill your business by accelerating losses and decreasing profits is a whole another idea and it's so fucking retarded that it hurts.

yfw you bought a 4090 before cheeto won so you get to play all the unreal slopgine games and no one else can

what will happen if Gamers start actually rioting over this ?

He is entering late-stage dementia.

Good thing I upgraded my rig last year.

his plan is to make crazy retarded sanctions so that countries will kneel and take a reasonable deal instead.

The demand curve humbles all, even shitendo.

If a witch doctor is attempting to cure your strep throat by drilling a hole in your skull instead of penicillin, do you give a shit what his intentions are?

That's an easy fix. All Vietnam has to do raise enough taxes to buy a bunch of American state goods.

file.png - 1011x427, 69.19K

The plan is to make the USA isloated. Which will stop immigrants, have businesses be built in country which will make local goods cheaper and lower unemployment. His long term plan is good, problem is short term everyone is fucked and people are too used to globalism that their normal life is sacrificed.

He can't ignore law of time.

That's just the printer and ink model, where you sell the initial product at a loss and then make the profit on addon sales.

Which is the predominant model for the video game industry. Sony has literally always sold every Playstation unit at a loss for the first few years, and Nintendo only moved away from this model with the Wii

I got myself an RX 6800 back in December and the post office held it until the end of January. Returned it because a screw was stripped and it had quite a bit of silicone sweat. Now, my folks won't let me buy anything for the picosecond they're actually available for MSRP. They don't understand.

His long term plan is retarded even if you ignore it's utterly unfeasible short term. It's all a smoke screen to prop up a kleptocracy like his best friend Putin did.

Uneployment is already at 4.2%, that's only .2% higher than full employment. Anyone else who is unemployed is willfully so like seniors, rich people or NEETs

And again, that has nothing to do with the retarded idea of making other countries pay for other countries' taxes.

Decades and decades of corporations and politicians selling out the American people called for drastic measures to attempt to undo the damage. Will it work at all? We’ll find out.

He will have himself integrated into the Mammon Machine, which will draw out the great power of Lavos sleeping under our lands.

Which Trump-aligned oligarchs are getting rich off of the tariffs?

It does because Americans buy more ink. You get your shitty customers to subsidize your good customers

He can ignore the law all he wants but he can't force states to include him on the ballot.

Will we have to listen to this retarded trumped up fear mongering the rest of the term guys? I'm a zoomer so I was admittedly not as politically aware during 2016-2020 to know how bad it was then. It is fatiguing how everywhere is getting filled with talk of some new "world ending action" that proceeds to be forgotten in a week.

The complete death of the economy by the end of the year

And guess who's buying less ink? The people in the countries where you were poised to be profitable with hardware alone.

Jesus, how is your economic thinking so poor?

Ill call my dick a tariff and tear through "your" economy anon

but he can't force states to include him on the ballot.

The hyperbole won’t stop as long as the people in charge are challenged

That's a lot of dongs!

zoomer not understanding consequences

Just watch your Asmongold TV and be quiet buddy

I couldn't though. He got shafted by his own party because it was Her turn. The repubs actually ran the populist candidate their base wanted so they won.

have businesses be built in country

They do not want to pay people for their labor. At all. If they have to proxy ship items to three different countries, they will go with that option before resorting to paying Americans enough money to be able to afford any decent lifestyle.

I thought that thing ran on infant blood.

Unemployment rates are cherry picked. That implies you're 95.8% likely to apply and get a job, or that out of 100 applications, 95 will get you hired.

Because that's how you get clicks. Even politicians have become clickbait

Trump is crashing the economy with tariffs while promising it will bring manufacturing jobs. There is no concrete plan or achievable milestones. He does not even tell you which jobs, how many jobs, when they will arrive or where they will be. Even the Soviets respected their people's intelligence enough to promise fake numbers, they'd promise increasing grain production by 50% in 10 years and everyone will have a tractor or something. Trump has nothing, no plan, but you are supposed to trust him anyway.
How is his record? The last and only time he tried bringing a batch of jobs to the US was the Wisconsin foxconn debacle, which ended with zero jobs created and the factory cancelled.

being this mad you're gonna foot half of my tariff bill for me

It's nothing personal, I'd cover all of it myself since I know your wages are low but it's out of my control

The one who benefits the most from that short term, ofc. They didn't get rich by sticking to some other guy's plan.

Shut up retard. It's to make it simple to compare.

Irl JRPG villains are so lame. Trump doesn't even have a mech suit, let alone magical powers.

the only way to defeat Trump will be through lesbian deus ex machina

Vote for stupid candidates, win stupid prizes.

Honestly, I don't blame Americans that much. Everyone knows that Americans are 100% retarded. So when the democrats put Kamala up as their candidate, I knew Americans were going to vote for Trump. Nobody likes Kamala and everyone is sick of identity politics. If they put up some casual white dude then Trump would've probably lost.
Kamala though? What were they thinking?

Being isolationist when you're on top of the world is the single most retarded thing you could do.

that guy makes like 5 figures per day just from watching youtube vids per day so he doesn't care about the cost of living going up, he can afford to laugh while his retarded viewers feel the burn

I voted for this, we need to rip the bandaid off and get it over with if we're serious about fixing this shit hole of a country. There will be growing pains, which I'm sure most Americans don't understand and will rage about orange man bad, but shit like this needs to happen. The only problem is that this fix NEEDS to be constant from term to term, if a dem. Gets elected and undoes this it'll tank the economy even harder and make it all for nothing

I didn't bother because I was happy with my current computer and AAA games were shit. Didn't really want to bother fighting for a 5XXX low/mid tier either even if I knew they could be sold on ebay as I pleased

Democrats really could've ran RFK as a moderate and won easily

The fact that corporate right wing still fears Bernie shows he could still fix America

This was already a case in front of the Republican supreme court over if Trump should be on the ballot even though he shouldn't due to his failed coup and the 14th amendment. The Republican supreme court just said 'states rights and the constitution doesn't matter, you gotta put him on'

Also this, he's going to invoke the insurrection act to cancel the 2028 election in a self coup.

Which would be...?

file.png - 1920x513, 362.94K

Gamers rise up!

This is cope from a suffering fetishist.

I want a president who does stuff and I don't care if that stuff is stupid.

rip the bandaid off

a total economic collapse that will last decades

Better you than me buddy

people want a business man to run the country after seeing people get laid off en masse for years during and after covid

the people are retarded

If a crash happens then they'll just buy all the property while whitepill cope merchant articles saying "HOLY SHIT BEZOS JUST LOST FIVE HUNDRED GAZILLION DOLLARS" blind the normalfag populace from realizing their liquid assets drawf them hard when they buy up all physical property

is cost of living going up?

I could play Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate for the rest of my life and never get bored of it. I recommend you guys find your comfort games and build communities around them.

LET THEM FIGHT

Kamala lost
Bidenflation tanked
the US are no longer Ukraine's wallet

based

Why would anyone else continue this policy? No one believes it except one demented lunatic. There was nothing wrong with the economy before 2025 that needed fixing.

We're making up for participating in occupy wall street. Chuds can stay on the wrong side of history all they want. Enjoy your orange man while you still can.

Kamala though? What were they thinking?

They weren't. Kamala wasn't even voted in. They just gave her the nomination after Biden crashed and burned.

there will likely be an increase in interest rates globally if trump actually goes through with this paln
that'll mean that any debt you have will become more expensive, and will depress business activity in your cunt, which could lead to lower employment, lower wages, stagnation, inflation, and recession in the mid term, but you'll be able to have a good giggle at all the americans paying an extra tax on basically everything for a while

Don't worry, you will be footing your bill because the idea of raising prices in other countries to make a loss in another is so stupid that no company will do it.

They failed at memes so now they are trying to get the "gamers". They unironically believe the meme about gamers singlehandedly electing Trump.

corporate right wing still fears Bernie

The dude couldn't get close to winning a primary and won't be alive by the next election cycle, no Republican is losing sleep over Bernie Sanders

chop your legs off

this will help you develope your arm muscles

fear mongering

Cause and effect that you pretend doesn't exist is not fearmongering.

Anon Babble elected Trump, not gamers though there is overlap.

The next president will remove the tariffs but the prices wont go back down
These companies could all lower their prices massively already but choose not to since they want to make as much of a profit as possible

The problem is both candidates were stupid.

One would allow illegals to flood the country while the other would tarrif everything that has a pulse including penguins.

They want you to get scared so the other side can come back and stop challenging the status quo.

corporate ring wing

what reality are you living in?

One thing to note is Trump's first term went fairly smoothly outside of COVID. Because his administration was filled with tard wranglers like Mike Pence, Mike Pompeo, James Mattis and other career bureaucrats. Trump 2 is filled with silicon valley idiots who worship Chinese manufacturing like a cargo cult, and useless ass kissers who form their opinion from twitter like JD Vance.

The fact they're still trashing him every possible step says otherwise.

and the effect is?

Dumbfuck

I know. I'm upset that we could have had free college and healthcare but we all voted incorrectly last November...

But you already have a computer.

that proceeds to be forgotten in a week.

That doesn’t mean it’s stopped, retard.

He would have easily been the Democratic candidate in 2016 if Clinton had not stabbed him in the back.

HE'S COMING FOR YOU, ANON. THE MAN WITH NO FACE.

Fact based one, clearly you're allergic to it. Who is pushing for a tripled down version of trickle down economics again? Oh right, Republicans.

???

I need a new shiny one with an extra button!!

Illegals are good. They are our slave caste who do the jobs Americans won't do.

Double the taxes you levy and then fork them over to us, or we won't buy the shitty T-shirts you make

You know Vietnam might just decide it's better to just take the loss in sales of shitty T-shirts than to start writing 11 or 12 figure checks to Washington.

Nobody remembers he exists until one of the remaining members of his millenial cult from the 2016 election brings him up

higher prices on consumer goods

Are escorts in America still illegal? In Europe escorts are perfectly legal. They even hire accountants and pay taxes on their income. I'm wondering if these entrepeurs will be increasing their prices across the globe as well? Asking for a friend.

we could have had free college and healthcare

That would never happen. It is just as crazy as the shit we are already doing now.

It's the worst of both worlds
Manufacturing won't actually return to the US because most companies expect the tariffs to be gone by 2029
But the damage to America's economy, businesses and reputation are permanent as US allies will diversify their trade and use Trump as an excuse to get closer to China economically

They are?

He's going to be 82 by the end of this term. He wants to be ptesident at 90?

Holy fuck, American education is why this is happening.

America went into isolation after World War 1, and in so doing, allowed authoritarian nations to influence the world unchecked, which led into World War 2. This is currently happening right now yet again, with America allowing China, North Korea, and Russia to expand their global authoritarian influence unchallenged.

Those who do not learn from history are doomed to repeat it

they depress wages

I do not care about the price of random bullshit on temu and vidya going up because I dont waste money on video games like a dork.
I watch cartoons(for free) play games i already own(for free) and I wanted to, have sex(for free). You can enjoy life in other ways without wasting $100 on video games.

Also, if the price of this stuff irks you, have you considered not buying it?

#
I know what a tarriff is dumbass. Im saying the price of ESSENTIAL ITEMS (food, gas, clothes, perhaps internet) while going up, has not went up significantly. You dont NEED a switch 2. You dont NEED the next generation console. You DONT NEED funko pops. You dont need this bullshit. These are wants. Worry about wants when you have enough money. For now stop being lazy, go to work, and save up.

IMG_1230.jpg - 735x701, 56.32K

Conservative and pro-buisness policies are an affront to humanity and the natural world.

I WOULD be able to pay $1500, but I just paid $700 for groceries that would normally cost me $200, so that $500 already got claimed. You were too slow.

And why should America be the global authority? Need a break for fucking once.

Clinton didn't even need the superdelegates to win in 2016 and he got dunked on even harder by Biden. Could you imagine actually running a hard left candidate without the minority vote? Even Jeb Bush would dogwalk him in a general election

It's just an evangelical conspiracy to accelerate their previous end times.

next president

lmao

Bidenflation tanked

Lol we will have the much worse trumpflation now
Enjoy paying the Trump tax

Are escorts in America still illegal?

Yes, prostitution is illegal outside of Las Vegas.

7 Trillion in giveaways to the rich thanks to Trump.
But you're going to poison the well now because you need to defend this.

Its not a conservative thing. You can be a conservative and support free trade. Its a

do we want an American economy to stand strong on its own

Or

do we want to be dependent on China for literally everything

I want a strong American economy. Im fine with working in a factory because I get paid in the strongest currency in the world. Businesses are already coming back. Trumps economic policy is aggressive, be he has a plan.

Ah damn. You could've been a decent human being during covid lockdowns and taking the jab but you just had to do your little "THINK OF THE ECONOMY" gag and extend the lockdows to two years.

America was a country full of chads so democratic countries relied on them. America benefitted a lot from this by having global power (big dick swinging) and an enormous amount of military financing.

Don’t care already preordered doom dark ages and it’s a locked price

Japan is getting shit on

RCEP (China Japan SK ASEAN Australia) is the largest trading bloc in the world, bigger than NAFTA (which Trump killed anyway)
Asia + EU trade integration will make America the new Soviet Union. Self sufficient, a superpower, but falling behind and falling apart.
Maybe learn why US policy since WW2 has been the way it is. Idiots are now running a machine built by far smarter dead people.

Businesses are already coming back.

What businesses, and who are they employing?

Well Trump should legalise it then. America could use a win.

as US allies will diversify their trade and use Trump as an excuse to get closer to China economically

Good luck.

How is that supporting trickle down economics? Why are you just throwing random terms around and hoping something sticks?

The correct term is Trumpcession

There's really no need when women can sell porn without having to actually encounter people.

For shitty jobs.

Tariffs aren't going to fix that. Maybe mandatory unions across every industry would but who knows what kind of side effects that would have

This is what Trump is counting on. He's hoping to collapse the entire global economy. America is the one world superpower for a reason.

How's BRICS doing nowadays

He's gaslighting and sealioning

Oh,I see you just aren't being serious.
How are you going to pay for the 7 trillion going to the rich?

Trumps economic policy is aggressive, be he has a plan.

Can you tell me the plan?
What are the milestones and deliverables and their ECDs?
If the plan fails what are the backups?

good. I want poorfags filtered out of my hobby and I want tendies to suffer. I upgraded my pc last year and got an oled monitor and tv, I am content.

are people having more difficulty living with their money?

China is actually better positioned for a global economic collapse, as they have manufacturing.

It's a Tophiachu reference

Damn... so why were tariffs invented? You seem to know everything.

Brics is a meme
China + ASEAN + EU trade integration won't be

No, we did not need to rip the band-aid off. I'm not entirely against tariffs, but there needed to be an actual plan and some thought put into targeted tariffs. Instead we got a full retard blanket tariff based on a ChatGPT formula that has done nothing but tank the stock market, guarantee that everything will triple in price, and cost Trump all the political capital he could have used to achieve the actual good parts of his platform.
You guys have no idea how long it takes to build a factory. By the time one got built, the tariffs would probably be gone anyway. So the corporations won't actually bother trying, they'll just raise prices and wait out the tariffs. This is a disaster and woke leftists will dominate politics for generations because of this.

Yeah they have no choice. Exports to the US are so key. Not to mention them losing Nintendo's business and all the jobs that brings if they don't remove the tariffs for Trump

Trump and Musk are on an unconstitutional rampage, aiming for virtually every corner of the federal government. These two right-wing billionaires are targeting nurses, scientists, teachers, daycare providers, judges, veterans, air traffic controllers, and nuclear safety inspectors. No one is safe. The food stamps program, Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid are next.

It’s an unprecedented disaster and a five-alarm fire, but there will be a reckoning. The people did not vote for this. The people do not want this dystopian hellscape that hides behind claims of “efficiency.” Still, in reality, it is all a giveaway to corporate interests and the libertarian dreams of far-right oligarchs like Musk.

Common Dreams is playing a vital role by reporting day and night on this orgy of corruption and greed, as well as what everyday people can do to organize and fight back. As a people-powered nonprofit news outlet, we cover issues the corporate media never will, but we can only continue with our readers’ support.

had to settle for a 9800x3d because the 9950x3D is nowhere to be found

Oh well, I have something that works, at least.

Tariffs are employed by poor backwards countries to protect their uncompetitive domestic industries.
America isn't a third world shithole. It produces the highest end products and services in the world. No one matches its cars (Tesla), biotech (Pfizer, Gilead), weapons (Lockheed). It has no need for tariffs, as they would only hurt its high end industries who buy lower end supplies.

So how are Republicans paying for the 7 trillion dollar giveaway to the rich?

Tariffs are employed by poor backwards countries to protect their uncompetitive domestic industries.

So how many countries in the world don't have tariffs then?

Bernie is another senile grifter just like Trump, Joe, and the rest of them. Notice how he went from ranting about "millionaires and billionaires" to just billionaires after he became a millionaire. But yeah, I'm sure this rich "socialist" will fix everything once he buys his third summer home and fourth yacht.

That's not going to happen, instead some sectors are just going to die because they're not profitable at all. Tabletop games are about to get gigafucked and there's nothing they can do to stop it. Don't forget, tariffs make it more expensive to manufacture things in america on top of having more expensive labor.

Many will suggest simply moving production to the US instead to avoid the tariffs, but the reality is that hasn't been possible for a long time now. At best, the majority of tabletop products are enormously more expensive to manufacture in the US than in China (eclipsing even the added costs of the tariffs). At worst, many items simply can't be made in the US for any price—the expertise and the equipment isn't there, because such businesses were priced out of the market by Chinese labour decades ago.

You don't have to care about tabletop games but that's not the only sector who has this same exact problem.

Stop medicare

The food stamps program, Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid are next.

Yeah you know it's bad if fucking South Korea and Japan are doing this, imagine what the EU (who has no conflicts with China) has already planned behind closed doors.

The fact Republicans are already using accounting tricks to cover for the true waste of their giveaways to the rich should be a red flag.
The other fact your excuse is, 'Republican's aren't giving that many trillions to the rich at the expense of everyone else' is not a good defense.
As it stands, it's 7 trillion, how are you going to pay for it. Unless you want the French Revolution 2.0 like

The richest countries have either none or very little. Look at Singapore and Hong Kong. The poorest shitholes like India have the highest tariffs.
The US literally had FTAs with most first world countries until Trump shit the bed.

Oh. My. GAWD. TABLETOP GAMES?!!???!

That’s the plan. Then Donny can declare martial law.

Third world shitholes don't create spaceX, openAI, Google and the F-35, paco.

Are they actually using accounting tricks or did you just blindly trust in what a clearly biased source said again

This is a gaming board after all.

I'm not a Burgerstani or a lefty-faggot, so I did enjoy the whole DOGE USAID debacle because it revealed a ton of corruption and how deep the globohomo apparatus goes.
However this tariff bullshit has killed all good will I had towards Trump. Officially killed all my support for him.
Inevitably this is going to give China and Europe so much tailwind, and the last thing I wanted was for that evil witch fuck Ursula von der Leyen and Winnie the Pooh any cards in their hands.
Europe doesn't need to be more power to be a technocratic anti-white shithole, and China to have any influence over trade deals...

Maybe read the sources, but it's clear you're intent on just poisoning the well because you can't defend it.
So how are you paying the Republicans 7 trillion give away to the rich?

Man the third worlders got mad at this post. Makes sense Trumpism is American third worldism. Trump wants the make the USA as corrupt as latinx America.

someone who has been compromised by foreign powers is whispering this shit into his ear, but who

Most Americans still think the country sending in the product pay the tariff and not the importer.

They have tariffs, though?
Damn.
So how does a 1st world country, like America, compete with 3rd world manufacturing on the long term?

There's an actual board for that

I'm not paying for an imaginary give away because I can actually read.

Is America great again yet?

So what are you going to do now?

So you can't defend it because you know it's undependable and are just pretending it doesn't exist.
Surrender accepted.

We have always been Great

not vidya, but can someone explain me why Trump isn't applying tariffs to Russia?

I have never met a maga tendie irl

So how does a 1st world country, like America, compete with 3rd world manufacturing on the long term?

Any country can make shoes and cheap plastic crap
No country except America can make the F-35 fighter or the B-21 strategic bomber
The USA doesn't compete with 3rd world manufacturing. The 3rd world exists to manufacture low tech inputs to America while being completely mogged technologically and militarily.

He's gonna try to get the 22nd amendment abolished so he can run for a third term.

Because his KGB codename is Krasnov and he was recruited by Russia when he visited Moscow back in 1987

A previous version of this story incorrectly stated the analysis was conducted by the Congressional Budget Office. It was conducted by the Joint Committee on Taxation.

How the fuck does anyone make $130k without just lucking out with gambling on stocks or crypto

They are already sanctioned and shit
It is why we don't do it to North Korea

Nothing is cumulative because nothing is produced in the US.
The reason things are produced in other countries it that they don't have rental jews siphoning off 90% of worker income. Those factory workers making 5 cents an hour have better lives than you ever will.

I have. They’re fucking cartoon characters.

sanctions != tariffs

And that doesn't disprove it's going to be a 7 trillion giveaway to the rich.
Why are you so desperate to defend it?

I really don't understand you dumb Americans. These tariffs are insane.
If I was president of America, I know exactly what would make it great again.
Porn games. We focus on making high quality triple porn games with peak animation and interactivity. Studios who commit to gender politics will go bankrupt on their own so no need to worry about that.
But what America truly needs is a large industry of porn games featuring attractive blondes with big tits.

Here's waiting for that revised Switch 2 pricing.

it's $657 with tariff, so $659.99

has literally never held an election

has declared himself President For Life

regularly imprisons and executes political dissidents and rivals

implemented the largest internet censorship system on earth

singlehandedly supplying everything that remains of Russia's military logistics

Serious question
Why the fuck does the "Liberal Democratic Western Order" PREFER this guy to Trump?
Hate Trump as much as you want, this dude ought to be their worst nightmare

Never.

They climb the corporate ladder successfully

Probably lives with family and just stacks cash. I'd have that much too if I had no bills to pay.

Trump won't remove shit, because his "reciprocal" tariffs are based on trade deficits. Even countries that the US has a trade surplus with, like the UK, got slapped with a 10% "baseline" tariff.

Iran is sanctioned worse, yet they got hit as well and Trump was threatening to start World War III by bombing them on Israelis command.
So why did Russia get a free pass?
More than Trump being owned by Putin.

i'm in my 30s i have a job nigga i save 3200+ a month on average

The what?

I lucked out so fucking hard.

He is not Trump.
He is communist.

You are not supposed to ask that

Because China has played it smart for decades. Yes their political views do not allign with the Western world at all. But China has been investing in their own industries for decades, even making sure to implement anti-pollution shit when that got out of hand. They were a silent giant on the rise and they provide goods at a reasonable cost. But most importantly, they're a stable trading partner which is good for the welfare of citizens.

It's high-school math used to create complex policy, leading into ridiculous results. Would you buy a car some literal kid designed on a napkin?

WhyNotBoth?.jpg

Yeah, I have to pay $1,000 for the PS6, but thank God I don't have a black manager.

It's actually mindblowing to imagine that people are so ready to set their own country, along with the rest of the world, on fire because they developed such a strong hatred for a subculture that they never have to interact with if they would just stop consuming the related media (wokeism in this case)

I'm saying you're retarded for believing in a story made up by someone as incompetent as that journalist.

Because it's natural for a developed nation (master nations) to have trade deficits with developing nations (slave nations). The slave nations do dangerous, shitty jobs like manufacturing, the master nations get office jobs largely.

is it all made up nonsense because it hurts your feelings?

Imagine how good Russia would look right aboit now if they hadn't attacked Ukraine.

So you're just trying to gaslight again.
Why are rightoids like you so shitty at this?

Why would it hurt my feelings?

Well the world has had economic ties with them since the 1970's, so it's not hard to just cut them off. Trump is also shit for business as history constantly shows. He doesn't care for negotiations just "GIMME WHAT I WANT!!" which isn't how you do global interactions. He can act like that as an American businessman to Americans, but internationally that turns people away. He basically handed Africa over to China by barely sending anyone out to make deals and just assumed everyone would come to them because America is so "great."

Whatever Trudeau and Macron and Starmer and Olaf call their club

I honestly wish we would get a president that would try to reconcile with China. We don't need rivalry anymore, I honestly don't care how they treat their citizens. I suppose the system would never allow such a big piece of propaganda to go away though.

sounds like an america problem

I hope they at least pay you for this.

So we should import literally every essential good while we make a bunch of bullshit nobody needs. Got it.

There's nothing inherently wrong with a trade deficit. And enacting "reciprocal tariffs" based on trade deficits rather than actual tariffs is ridiculous.

Texas

We're all about freedom. The freedom we choose for you.

Hopefully, that will finally kill this industry

I genuinly want to know where you Trump supporters get your news and information because every economic expert that I've seen says this is bad and you all just completely refuse to accept fact as reality

i guess i should have asked if it did, i merely assumed it did because of how bootyblasted you are over it
anyway, back to the question, is it made up because it hurts your feelings?

Texas is infested with retards and has even been called out before for it. Trump has literally been seen watching Prisma Illya before.

He didn't hand over Africa to China wtf are you talking about. The western investors were just tired of african nations constantly defaulting on their debts and collectively decided to pass it on.

I'm not an economic expert but I'll tell you one thing. Any political party that thinks it has the authority to stop me from watching high-quality 4K pornography in the comfort of my own home will not be getting my vote. Imagine being an adult and someone telling you "hey you can't watch naughty stuff like that".

Texas neither produces anime nor is it a financier of anime, so this doesn't affect anime at all. In fact Japan has already had major figures in the anime industry coming forward to denounce foreign influence (especially American influence) on anime, and that steps should be taken to break away from it. This is only going to strengthen that point of view.

Wow, what brilliant economy you have there, let's all speculate on it!

Who got prosecuted? Who had to stand before a judge for trial? Who got sent to prison?

I don't give a fuck about USAID in particular, but if there were actual evidence of corruption, then those would have happened to people, people with names. The administration, that loves to lie all the time, told you some unverified bullshit and you believed them.

I'm serious dude; there's a lot of knowledge and history that people are either seriously pretending to believe is real, or just simply never learned and that's what the result of a shitty education

but cutting the departmant of education for failing to do their job is bad somehow

hey man im not the one out here defending a policy of trillions of dollars worth of tax cuts for the richest people with no real plans of how to raise that money otherwise

The time has come for the McDonald's Switch.

Read the article you posted.

the department of education doesn't set the curriculum

Vietnam is free to find other buyers for its good.

I mean. That's generally what you have to do if one of your customers decides that before he buys 20 dollars worth of stuff from you, you need to pay him 25 for the privilege of doing business.

I'm going for a month long trip and was thinking of buying a cheap laptop to game while im there (4060/8845HS ryzen/16gb ram/1tb/144hz 1080p) for 749 right now from MC. I looked at the price of it used on ebay as well and its going for 850 too, so if i get it now and then sell it after trip it seems like i wont lose any money (or hell if tarifs kick in maybe sell it for higher?)

i already have, thus far the sum total of your rebuttal is, so how about you read it

i don't like it therefore it's not true

Trade deficits aren't deficits in the sense that someone owes us money.

For example, if you order a dildo from canada for $10, the trade deficit with canada increased by $10. But you got a dildo and they got $10, its a trade. On a trend these trades happen at market value and it's mutually beneficial. If someone points out a "trade deficit", If they know what they are talking about, they mean one side is the consuming more and one side is producing more.

There are other arguments for tariffs, but they are bad for market efficiency. The point of a 'reciprocal' tariff is to coerce the other country to drop their tariffs so nobody has tariffs and we have free trade. But if you put up a tariff in response to a trade deficit, what can the country with the trade surplus do? Consider if you bought bananas from south america. What are they going to do? Stop selling you bananas? Force their citizens to buy your slop? It doesn't make any sense. The balance of trade, production and consumption, can't be directly manipulated by governments like simply dropping a tariff can be.

I hope it sucks more

A complete reset of the electronics industry is required

Yeah cutting a department that doles out a small minority of school funding will solve the disastrous effect of social media, smartphones, and pads have on kids. Like I don't give a fuck about the department, but you're not fixing the problem, just chose a scapegoat to punish and pretend that will fix everything.

Wallace Kirschner and Lawrence Haskell invented a video gaming console that could change games by swapping a circuit board designed to easily snap in and out

Jerry Lawson contributed the idea of wrapping those circuit boards in a plastic shell to make them easier for customers to handle

Lawson is credited for the whole concept because he's black. "Somebody else would have invented it" is a fair take because nobody would want the average customer to have to fiddle with pic related every day. Betamax had already done similar things for people who didn't want to fuck around with physical film reels.

If it wasn't for that you wouldn't have video games because it was a black man who came up with the first cartridge based game system.

You're on the wrong site monkey

This would be a great explanation and all but you're being fucking retarded by not pointing out the tariffs are already reciprocal and the deficit is a direct result of foreign tariffs

every (((economic expert))) that I've seen says this is bad

And (((experts))) told you to take poison too. Why oh why would there ever be mistrust of [the experts]. Next you'll tell me all (((the media))) says so too.

who's pretending it will fix everything?

does unemployment still only count people who were fired from their job in the past month or so and not everyone thats actually unemployed.

it would only be catastrophic for America, a very small part of the world.

You're retarded. Wokeism was never just an entertainment fad that could be ignored. It's become the dominant ideology in schools and universities, corporate boardrooms, and pretty much every societal institution all over the west. It's an actual problem, but unfortunately, Trump's own insanity will guarantee that wokeness makes a comeback and will be here to stay.

I dont want to fund the totally not nazis in Ukraine

You're brown

My Vietnamese in laws still buy random shit like used Iphones, Colgate toothpaste or Ferrero Rocher chocolate as if they are some high end goods to bring to Vietnam as gifts. Do Vietnam not have decent products imported? Perhaps the tariff being Zero will change things for the better the average viets.

I wonder how accurate this map actually is. I looked in the Florida laws once out of curiosity and it is not mentioned (the wording almost could be interpreted as protecting loli). The federal law also overides it all so the states get btfo in this case as the Supreme Court has pretty much protected it multiple times.

Trump's own insanity will guarantee that wokeness makes a comeback and will be here to stay.

Jesus you guys are so bad at acting like humans.

You all laughed at the KFC console! Well who’s laughing now!?
wait it’s made in china shit

no you fucking retard the deficit is a deficit because only good are included in the imf definition of the balance of trade, and america primarily sells services overseas because it's an advanced services based economy
holy shit you guys really are as dumb as fucking rocks

Wow, just when I thought the south couldn’t suck any more than it does…

Trump's supporters have certainly stated that he will fix everything, everyday, all the time, in any discussion about him.
You'll still have cattle children.

read you subhuman retard

You don't have to care about tabletop games but that's not the only sector who has this same exact problem.

Do you think tabletop gaming companies are the only ones importing shit in america? Dumbfuck.

you sound deranged and out of touch with reality.

Given it's from Anon Babble, I trust them more than any honeypot language from Florida.

I'm pretty sure the only guys that actually went to prison possessed the real thing anyways

Leftists

Trumptards vote against their own economic interests with billionaire tax cuts

Also leftists

BILLIONAIRES ARE LOSING MONEY ON THE STOCK MARKET HOW COULD YOU TRUMPTARDS DO THIS?!

Make it make sense. The left hasn’t presented a counter point or argument in the last 5 years, that they themselves haven’t undone months later.

Perhaps the tariff being Zero will change things for the better the average viets

Their tariffs are currently at 7%. It won't change shit. They're sub Saharan Africa level poor.
Trump's table showed Vietnam having 90% tariffs which is one of the funniest parts of the whole joke.

the deficit is a direct result of foreign tariffs

Deficits are naturally occuring even if tariffs make them more unbalanced, thats why they shouldn't be the number you base your own tariffs on.

Quick we need to distract from Trump making vidya more expensive

WHATABOUT LEFISTS

It's all so tiresome

>BILLIONAIRES ARE LOSING MONEY ON THE STOCK MARKET HOW COULD YOU TRUMPTARDS DO THIS?!

Billionaires don't just own stocks, they own real estate. It's the middle class that relies on stocks for their 401k and investment funds. As always they get screwed over the most while the rich and worthless poor don't care.

To be fair, the entire state is considered a constitutional exclusion zone or whatever (meaning glow boys don't have to respect your rights). It is also a state of hobbyists, many in grey areas like that tiger stuff. It literally feels like the entire place was made specifically to be a honeypot.

Dude, just give the government a way to jail you, they totally won't use it against you.

That was debunked already.

He doesn't have the tard wranglers he did in term 1 and his political opponents spent the last two years trying to jail him. It's pretty easy to understand.
He should have constrained tariffs to countries that were interfering in the election desu.

Why is the Switch 2 also $500 to $600 in every other country (except Japan itself, where it is $350)

finned.png - 1232x1058, 444.47K

Maybe according to your faggy aristocratic roleplay, but Americans never wanted to outsource those jobs. There's nothing natural about globalism and it's going to be destroyed.

it's actually hilarious how royally fucked boomers are about to be thanks to trumpanomics, well it would be if everyone else didn't have to suffer through it too

If someone has looked for work in the past 4 weeks they are still counted as unemployed--that means someone could theoretically remain counted statistically as unemployed for years. The reason it is done this way is because there are retired people, people so rich they dont have to work, people who don't want to work like NEETs which Anon Babble should be very familiar with, etc.

tariffing russia is in fact something he didn't do, funny enough

Sorry. What I meant to say was," OH MY FUCKING GOD. THE OTHER UNAMED SECTORS WITH THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM. JEEEEEESUS."

It's the middle class that relies on stocks for their 401k and investment funds

Imagine unironically writing this out let alone believing it.

The fall of rome/Babylon it will get worse before it ever gets better remember that it also will effect everyone worldwide

If I was deranged I would be parroting the copypasta from Anon Babble about how Trump was crashing the stock market to take money from rich people to give to the middle class. Rich people like Buffett who already pulled out a while ago.

Who?

One of the big concerns about American industry was shipbuilding, which is valid since it directly relates to naval power
The right move would be to target Chinese shipbuilding specifically while cutting regulations, the Jones act, and working with South Korea and Japan to invest in American shipyards
Instead he tariffs every country including Korea and Japan
There is no goal, no plan, no consideration for America's strategic interests. Trump is a joke.

AAA slop

vidya

Anon, your desperation to stay relevant is obvious.

I meant all the Eurocunts

Actually trying to defend the Trump price hikes

Sad

Trump just welcomed in 100'000 + spouses and soon anchor babies into the United States. We aren't in a good spot ourselves.

Only about half of women work so that's 25% right there. 35% of men are NEETing. So yeah not as many working as they want you to think

Actually, wrong. They chose to outsource those jobs by their buying practices. Every time an American chose to buy a product not made in the USA, they chose the outsourcing of those jobs. If Americans had valued a product being made in the USA more than a product being cheap, then it would not have been financially viable to outsource the jobs.

Well, he’s never spoken to a rich person other than his parent’s whose trust fund he leeches off of, which is taking a hit right now and thats why he’s mad + pretends to understand how markets work.

Yeah, I agree. There's very little long-term thinking going on anywhere in the admin.

Have you ever held a real job, paid income tax, property tax, land transfer tax or capital gains tax? Have you ever managed your finances? Or are you underage and in school?

if i was deranged i would be parroting a shitpost

yeah you're mentally ill.

That literally doesn't address what I said at all
Did somebody elect Trump president of the fucking world, so everybody gets to pay American high prices

raked.png - 868x918, 433.6K

So true xiestah, we’d be much better off if eggs were $12 from the inflation caused by printing billions of dollars to money launder… er I mean fund democracy in Ukraine.

100'000

Bro there's no way you're American. Even retarded children here know you use comma to break up numbers.

You're brown and not even American

MIGA damage control intensifies

You might make it look less obvious if it wasn't so coordinated

Yes yes yes yes yes and yes. No.

honestly it's transparent that he's been captured by foreign interest
dismantling the soviet weapon stockpile, miring a geopolitical enemy in a costly war, and exposing them as a paper tiger for the cost of zero active servicemen and what amounts to almost a rounding error on the dod budget spreadsheet is probably the greatest coup of the last few decades, and for some reason he wants to stop it, jesus christ

That's their choice, but they have to get money from somewhere, and eventually they will be forced to work unless they have a source of income to sustain them for the rest of their lives, which women tend to get by marrying some rich guy, but NEETs don't

You're also a joke if you can't make computers and electronics and probably 1000 other things I've never thought about

You mean like how Trump himself reposted a tiktok version of the shitpost and lied about Buffett praising the plan (Berkshire made an official statement about it)?

american patriotism is a hell of a thing
everyone knows that americans did this to themselves

Yeah it would, women would be forced to not only improve themselves but actually go after men removing any potential risk for the man since porn games would offer more than the average modern woman can.
You may say something like

what about cooking or cleaning

But a man can do both better.

Those are Canadian dollars, aren't they?

so btfo he just stops posting

there is literally no better feeling

inb4 coping

lol
lmao

Lefties:

gas prices go up

groceries soar

electricity prices go up

rent goes up

all because of the various virtue signalling policies they’ve supported for decades and perpetual war funding

*cricket noises*

Trump gets in

slop console goes up

AGGHHH THE WORLD IS COLLAPSING

if you can't make computers and electronics and probably 1000 other things I've never thought about

Good thing America makes all these things
All the chip designers are American. Nvidia is American. Intel is American.
TSMC would have no business without them.

You are just late to the party. It´s already like that on mostly every other country that does not directly manufacture the parts. FYI this is not even the worst part of these kind of policies. If i were you i would start checking out what happened on other countries because, let me tell you, it gets much much worse.

Euros are paying significantly more for a Switch 2 than Americans are, and this is us hurting ourselves? Your cope is literally

you've fucking ruined our countries and my hope is that you yourself get ruined as a result

The fact is yes YOUR countries are being raped right now

They're about to have the easiest counterpoint in the world by just pointing to Trump's Great Depression. Keep in mind, the last Great Depression handed decades of electoral dominance to the left and permanently moved the Overton Window much farther to the left than it previously was. All Trump had to do was not fuck up the economy and maybe we could finally get back to something resembling normal again, but here we are.

Gross

no points

no counter arguments

no stats or figures

Just

It’s a conspiracy!

Sad, many such cases

all because of the various virtue signalling policies they’ve supported for decades and perpetual war funding

No.

Mommy pays for the former
I pay for the latter

The scope of the conversation is strategic interests

What happens when you're in a world war and you can design chips but can't build them?

$5.5 trillion
+ the $1.5 trillion not included due to Republican accounting tricks
= $7 trillion
No wonder he stopped posted, he BTFO himself.

There's a point in time when talking to a mentally stunted retard gets tiresome. I'm not your real father and I'm not obligated to teach you how to read a simple table. Play with yourself.

There is no goal, no plan, no consideration for America's strategic interests. Trump is a joke.

Yeah, pretty much.

your lefty examples are just the worldwide economy, biden didn't contribute to that

trump caused a good amount of the price increase of switch 2

But we don't even know yet how much Americans will be paying.

the cope

delicious
i accept you concession btw

And that changes the fact that most people have 401ks?

You still really think this is about the left or the right lol funny stuff you are legitimately watching the fall of America and nation upon nation turn on them and you are focused on left and right

This would shake people more if democrats didn’t say this about everything.

All MIGA can do is post lies

And use old memes because the Russians didn't give them anything new

So sad

You accept a lot of things judging by your sad attempts at socializing.

What happens when you're in a world war and you can design chips but can't build them?

If it ever came to be that America can't make them then its enemies sure as fuck can't

our countries are being raped?
you're the one paying higher prices on imported goods, retarded american cope

Leftism is a cult. Those people will defend even pedophiles if they're one of their own.

Now you just realized how much richer the wealthy elite are than the middle class. Given that the 401ks of the entire middle class adds up to less than 7% of the stock market, while the rich hold 93% of it. So what are you going to do about it?

This explains a lot
It is like the stuff with government overreach and people on government aid.

I guess your parents don't need to retire

he's back to posting about his eternal butthurt

so are you going to address nothing about the massive tax cut of trillions to the rich with no real plans on how to recoup those losses? or are you really so mentally broken that all you have left is ad hominem?

Yeah I would rather win than maybe break even, but thanks

The real question is how much will the costs hit the American people and can Trump strong arm and gaslight things to be relatively normal. Since he has full control over both traditional and social media, it's 50/50 at this point.
But it's not full proof, like how he tried to gaslight everyone about the Trump Virus and that was such a failure on his part, he lost the election because of it.

no real plans on how to recoup those losses?

Then how does the left complain about the cut spending that there's no plan for

Do nothing and keep crashing stock market, fuck you flip flop libturd

Only the top half of America.

The figure is cooked. There's no way it's as ever as low as they claim. If the real figure is ever revealed it would cause panic.

with no real plans on how to recoup those losses?

Republicans are planning to sell America's natural parks and public lands to pay for their give away to the rich. So the rich are paying for the land, and the Republicans are just handing the money right back to them.

millions saved

trillions lost

yeah, not a real plan

The top half of America is what matters
If you're poor in America that's on you. We can help people who won't help themselves.
Never mind that unemployment is 4% which means no one is struggling to find a job, so the whole problem with "we need our jobs back" is non existent

That will likely end up with you being homeless eventually. That's not a good decision.

Refer back to the initial point. Read the article you posted instead of shitposting for the entire day. Acting retarded can't be that entertaining.

The future Democrat platform.

The thing is, you can be a minority in the stock market and still rely on it for retirement

I support a welfare state for NEETs unironically. One wrong choice in life, pick the wrong career, be born looking the wrong way, they're fucked permanently. I think they should be allowed to survive.

The globalist economy is already rigged for America to lose and you have separation anxiety about it being less dependent on Asian countries that openly intend to bleed America dry. You shouldn't be calling anyone a joke.

Ok so chip fabs to America was that important. Then you can do what Biden did with the chips act which was already succeeding without crashing the economy. Or you can pointlessly chimp out like Trump.

Shows how far right things are since that's the current Republicon platform

Black people seem to have no problem getting welfare, why do NEETs?

What?

Good
Democrats will win big if they just stop being the party of the poor, criminals and illegals
Republicans are too far gone into the Trump cult

Never mind that unemployment is 4%

Obama redefined unemployed to exclude those who have been out of the job market for a while.

You heard me.

Republicon

Didn't know they were based like this

If you're a minority within the top 50% of Americans, you can afford to delay retirement a few years.

The globalist economy is already rigged for America to lose

How so? Please provide specifics

refer back to the original point

the original point was that you should have voted differently
article supports that, by way of later points, feel free to continue coping and seething about being so effortlessly btfo
jeez im glad i baited you back from the bench for another round after you ran away with your tail between your legs already, you're just an endless source of tears

I think the big difference is that NEETs want to work but can't figure out how and blacks simply don't want to work at all

This is incorrect, it's calculated based on if you have no job currently and have looked for work in the past 4 weeks. As long as you look for work you are unemployed.

I heard what a retard said but that doesn't make it any less puzzling

You people could not project harder if you tried.

So you're just a retarded sheep, gotcha.

As a former NEET for 10 years, no I didn't want to work kek. But I was forced to, and all NEETs will eventually. Some are so autistic they won't be able to figure it out but those who aren't too far gone on the spectrum will eventually learn to put in a resume somewhere.

Uh yeah, people old enough to retire can afford to wait in dollars but maybe not how long they have left to live.

NEETs definitely don't want to work either. The actual difference is NEETs don't commit crimes

Just be a good goy like me and learn to be a slave who gets nothing and likes it.

Pass

Mate you need to find some self-respect. Acting retarded all day in order to get people to laugh at you and treating your public humiliaton as entertainment is genuinely pathetic.

Because something something 400 years of slavery.

Maybe leftists shouldn't have cried wolf about every previous Republican since Dewey if you wanted your Trump criticisms to be taken seriously. You guys are just as much to blame for the shitshow this country is now.

You only have 2 choices eventually, death or work. Make your choice.

Nobody wants to work, but nobody wants to be homeless, hungry, and addicted to fentanyl so it comes down to picking ones battles.

People usually don't retire when they're 80.

clinton

Also remember you retards wanted this.

Most people don't retire. It is an antiquated 20th century anomaly that is gone and is never coming back for most people.

I guess this means your government should make it more expensive for companies to bring manufacturing back into the country right? that's a smart plan

just found out the rare earth export ban is globally not just america

lmao we are going to have ww3 soon

Option 3, revolution against the rich and their pawns like you.
Fuck with the safety net at your own peril

no shit you just realized that it will only get worse not better

Except they see that you have a massive gap in your resume and then you're permafucked unless you apply for a retail job.

no one is going to invest in local manufacturing
the second the tariffs end your company goes bankrupt
who the fuck would invest in a gamble like that lmao

You can't win against the demons in control. That road only leads to death. This isn't one of our JRPGs, anon. Good doesn't win in the real world.

The point isn't when you stop working, the point is when are you told old to enjoy the money you had in your retirement account.

Just be a slave like me and surrender to the demons

Fuck off.

I never understood retirement anyway. Like isn't your wife going to leave you for being poor once you decide to do it?

whatabout lefitsts

It's fascinating how the fascist right always need to deflect from their own wrong doing.
But conservatives have never taken responsibility for their own actions. It's always someone elses fault but their own. Biggest, whinest bitches ever.
