With tariffs being 30% now instead of 145%, gaming consoles will ONLY be 30% more expensive.
Hope you are happy and will be purchasing your new gaming console this yea!

Did you know economists and the government think prices getting lower (deflation) is BAD
I'm serious, they actually think 2% inflation a year is HEALTHY
So even if one year you had 20% inflation, and the next year 2%, things won't go down in price they'll actually still go up 2%, on top of that 20%
The idea was that worker's wages would go up too, but *snorts* *rofl'ing* HAHAHAHAHAHAHAA
1970 minimum wage was equivalent to $29.5/h in home purchasing power
the retards didn't trust Trump
Trump always wins, baby!
In 1970 thoughbeit perchance you could've mayhaps bought a house for $1000.
Yes. That's what it means.
You could also buy a lunch for under a $1 at a diner. Can you do the same today? Also in 1974 D&D only cost $10.
massive spending/buying in bulk to scalp china slop
cannot sell now
why do people keep shit talking everything this guy does and then get so fucking mad whenever his schemes actually work? I'm convinced he could solve world hunger and tranny redditors would still find a way to be fucking mad that children in africa get to eat
deflation
If people and companies thought prices were going to get lower at a later point in time, they'd hold off buying as much as they could and bring the economy crashing to a halt. Inflation is a necessary evil.
He's orange. You can't trust orange people.
Work how?
China will temporarily reduce its tariffs on US goods from 125% to 10% for 90 days.
The $80 is and always has been ninteniggers fault.
trump announced medicine price cuts to bring us in line with what the rest of the world pays. the new talking point is why paying $1300 instead of $13 is actually a good thing
You don't seem to understand math.
median home price 1970 = $24,000
minimum wage 1970 = $1.60
15,000 hours to afford median home
median home price current = over $430,000
i.e. you'd have to make about $29.5
This isn't even accounting for the fact there was much lower house prices FLOORS, just comparing the median
Maybe your entire stupid fucking capitalist system is retarded and needs to be replaced, if that's a problem
Workers can't afford housing and food
shut this down nintendo deserves your hard earned $80 for slop
Idk if the Fed considers 2% healthy as much as that’s their entire goal is to lower it to 2% or below. Ultimately, it’s something shitty you have to accept. I’ll take a yearly 2 percent increase of what we’ve had.
oompa loompa doompity do
you're still confused, it's sad but it's true
oompa loompa doompity dee
changing your mind is always the key
what do you get when you're propagandized?
when they tell truths but you assume they are lies
how will you feel when your devil's a king
will you still be mad when he gives you ev-ry-thing?
you still wont like the looks of this
oompa loompa doompity do
you've got a lot of growing to do
stop believing lies that you do
you will be as happy as the oompity do
How does China lowering tariffs on the US (still up 10% compared to pre-trade war) affect console prices?
they caved
shamefully blurts he's willing to go down to 80%
China slaps him in the face
tearfully backs down 115%
What a weak leader
Only 30%
Imagine ever believing it had anything to do with that.
They just saw an excuse that dumbasses would buy.
only 30%
I don't know why Americans are happy they're making China pay 30%. Shouldn't they have left the tariffs on China at 145%? The whole point of the tariffs was to make China pay for it.
americans have to suffer while the president and his cronies get rich from market manipulation
they actually voted for this and keep defending it
Why is it specifically retro handhelds? This is one fucking bizarre niche to pretend to be excited about.
too bad you will never win incel
I literally just had sex last week. She deepthroated me till she couldn't take it anymore and I came inside her twice. Keep your projection to yourself.
Where do you think the retro handhelds that can play every old game (200-in-1) comes from? Where 100% of the parts are manufactured in?
But prices in America will not go down. Do you realize that the damage is permanent? Console prices will not go down. They will stay permanently up because Trump fucked over US gamers.
US tariffs are still higher on China than China's tariffs on the US.
China was never going to win.
1) There's no real evidence they're trading stocks based on insider knowledge
2) Even if they were, it's like pissing in the ocean
Bill Gates goes to sleep and wakes up millions of dollars richer
Did he work for that money?
Did he earn that money?
It's actually stolen from workers.
Shareholders, creditors, and property owner do nothing productive, they just steal money generated by workers
Your entire capitalist system is set up on transferring wealth from people who work, to people who don't work (shareholders, creditors, and property owners).
I don't know why Americans are happy they're making China pay 30%.
China is not paying 30%. It's American retailers that are paying 30% and then offloading the cost to American consumers. Enjoy 30% more expensive consoles, computer parts and physical videogames.
So how is pausing the tariffs and resuming trade with china supposed to get jobs back? I thought they whole point was to get manufacturing back?
It'd be a shame if people just didn't buy your overpriced garbage at all...
I assumed Mexico. It's always Mexicans who are selling them in flea markets. Besides, I thought people just pirate them on their phones.
Its the fiat currency that is dependant on debt that never gets paid back in full that needs to be fixed as a system not capitalism because that was never part of capitalism but a modern invention. When people had gold and silver to rely on to shop things were good.
you don't have to spoil anything. The tariffs still fuck China over because once the tariffs hit, no one is asking for shipments. Don't act like tariffs on China have no effect on China. It screws them over way way worse than the American consumer.
Brother, there win condition were maintaining their surplus on trade. They still do. China century simply can't be stopped.
Reading American's posts on the economy are like listening to baboons shrieking. How do you guys survive every day if you are this gullible?
The opposite happened, Chink man, Trump always wins, baby
I'm already winning by doing nothing, tranny
The problem is that they are not only hurting China. They are hurting the USA.
"Only" 30%? So you'd pay roughly $400 for a $300 chinkshit handheld. That's still fucking terrible.
America doesn't have a monopoly on foreign trade. The way Trump is running things, we're not even going to have a place at the table. Not unless we do something stupid like using military force to coerce other nations to keep us involved in trade.
Oh right, we're already kind of planning to do that by stealing the Panama Canal.
Wow what a deal! Way to go Orange Man! The tariffs were a good idea.
Yeah, US makes all Xboxes in the US, since I see them in US markets all the time.
yeah ok haha. Ours are still higher and Trump more than likely will keep twisting the knife, at this point just for the hell of it
I wish I could read this post and respond to it, but I don’t speak ESL. Can someone translate “third worlder?”
The tariffs still fuck China over because once the tariffs hit, no one is asking for shipments
Lol no, people were still importing despite 145% tariffs because $0.05 per latex glove vs. $0.10 per latex glove made no difference.
You shouldn't have voted for Orange Man, but instead the Indian woman whos ideology/party allowed and wants to allow in more retarded, low-IQ Brown people with dogshit "cultures" that makes the world around you more stupid, repulsive, dangerous, and subhuman because you might have to pay more to play Bing Bing Wahoo.
You should have voted for the people who push and support literal inhuman mental-illness and other subhuman garbage because Mario might cost 20$ more
Actually, unironically, end your life. I genuinely hope you get shot in the head. I hope you live in a city/town with high gun-violence, so when you drive to your nearest grocery-store, some random druggy or whatnot comes up to you and puts a bullet in the back of your head for no discernable reason. Well the reason would be that you'd deserve it but he/she wouldn't know it then.
The US dollar is the most dominant currency. Suck my nutz.
worth it in order to prevent China from continuing to make everything. Manufacturing needs to spread out to other shit countries too.
Shipments are cut in half
Only because people mistakenly bought into this very lie that petrodollar was somehow something magical other than just being a scam just like other fiat currencies. Btw, Euro and Dollar are pretty much on the same playing field now. 1 euro to 1.11 dollars.
I don't live in your third world country thankfully.
So the prices are still going up from what we had to begin with. Got it.
"no one is asking for shipments" = 50%
Oh cool, any breaking mathematic proofs you want to drop on us?
I don't really get why this still matter when everything is just numbers on an invoice these days.
the prices never changed on any chinkheld.
were the tariffs even real? are they just willing to not comply? do they bribe them?
We're talking about in some cases thousands in tariffs on some peoples orders either being cancelled or paid by someone else.
Tariffs are paid at the ports. If you have handhelds in storage, then you do not pay any tariffs on them.
Walmart and Amazon have 3 months worth of goods in their warehouses, hence why the tariffs didn't affect most of their goods.
Your local seller couldn't last the 6 weeks, hence why thousands of small shops have already gone bankrupt.
muh shartmart
fuck off retard that's not even how it works. they are shipped by DHL or 4px directly from shenzen china or hong kong
You get stabbed in the first world right?
and then you'll tell me that shipments cut in HALF isn't a big deal... fucking dummy lmao
SAAAAR NO THE TARIFFS WERE PAID BY SOMEBODY ELSE
THEY PAID $50 SO THEY CAN SELL IT TO ME FOR $20
Okay ranjeet, you dumb little shitskin.
That would be news to me.
"no one" now means 50%
"no one" means $1,500,000,000 worth of imports per day
"no one" means the American consumer is paying an extra 145% of their goods
Holy fucking retarded niggermutt.
Can "no one" give me money? ($1.5B)
Seems like some of you are mad that your dream scenario of America dramatically collapsing never came close to happening.
Are you stupid? You think they make that shit in Japan?
They will stay up because Nintendo has a rabbid fanabase who does free advertising and an anti consumerist nation to give them the "scalpers" excuse for not being confident enough in their wii u2 to have the foresight to...you know make enough and take my money. They did it specifically because they knew the competition would follow in line and put the nails in their coffin, Playstation is cooked, Xbox is just about cooked.
Nintendo? In all this tarrif/blame/"difficult times", they make their overengineered polystation harder to purchase than fentanyl. They make it use fucking express cards as if it's ever going to utilize the bandwidth. You have to jump through hoops just to preorder.
dumbass the tariffs are for importing to the us so how could i be indian
Nobody was expecting that though.
We had the Great Depression under the gold standard. The Federal Reserve is what keeps us from having those every decade despite retards with no economic education saying otherwise.
If people and companies thought prices were going to get lower at a later point in time, they'd hold off buying as much as they could and bring the economy crashing to a halt. Inflation is a necessary evil.
You would still have a functioning economy because people will still buy necessities and luxury goods, just not at a blistering pace. People do not indefinitely hold off on purchases, it's a fucking fallacy that the economy dies with deflation.
((((((ONLY)))))) 30% more expensive
Holy fuck trumpniggas are the biggest c ucks on the planet.
"People were still importing" means "50%" now
lmao fucking retard chink
"no one" now means 50%
"no one" means $1,500,000,000 worth of imports per day
"no one" means the American consumer is paying an extra 145% of their goods
Holy fucking retarded niggermutt.
Even if Trump wasn't elected price of goods in the US will still go up but instead of tariffs it will be "taxes on the rich". Nevermind the rich are the ones who own all the megacorporations and will pass off their higher taxes to the consumer. Legacy media and leftists will say that's a good thing cause more taxes means more handouts and free healthcare, right? RIGHT? RIIIIIIIIIGHT??????
How come Americans are still buying stuff from China despite the 145% tariffs? Weren't they supposed to make stuff at home? What happened to the jobs Trump promised?
Meanwhile with trump you get that PLUS 30% tariff plus tip.
Good news! Jobs are going to India (future Americans). While the rest of the world gets their iPhones made in China, Americans will get their iPhones from India!
Paying an extra 30% to own the libs.
Don't worry we will send all the chuds to work on the coalmines like they voted for!
Based. iPhones with extra seasoning.
God you people are a bunch of retards
What were the tarrifs before Trump put them up massively? It's a quickly google away
It went up during his first term and stayed up during Biden's, now it's back to down to his initial 2nd bump
The whole point is to hurt China, how do retards not get this?
Trump is governing US like playing a Paradox game, just randomly turning sliders up and down to see what sticks
what you think we're going to build hundreds of factories in a couple of months? I mean, Nvidia is building a massive facility in the US but still...
we're going to put ONE BRAZILLION percent tariffs on China and decouple from them and make them pay for it and bring jobs back
doesn't bring jobs back
still import from China despite high tariffs
still make Americans pay the absurdly high "tariff tax"
make Jeff Bezos and giant retailers hide the "tariff tax" and include it in the sales price so hide the fact that consumers are actually paying the tariffs because it'd make Trump look bad
The port in my city literally has like 80% less shipping containers, red state full of morons all I needed was 2 more weeks for krasnov's tarriffs to destroy it completely, but then he decides to cuck out AGAIN. make up your mind retard
so butthurt he screenshot my post and and reposted it twice
luh-mayo
infinite grow is and never was possible. I'm glad seeing the ranjeets having a fecal flame war about the fact that they will never get to make a living using AI and moving to america
30% is not ok, stupid Americans
hurt China
How does that work? EU/ASEAN trade volume confirms that China exported more than the loss of shipments to the US, and galvanized their trade. EU is dropping trade restrictions vs. China because of their trade war with the US.
Canada, US's largest trading partner, stopped exporting oil to the US, where they offered favourable trade deals at 25% discount and is instead selling oil at market value to China.
Countries like Brazil/Argentina have replaced the US as exporters of agricultural goods to China, which is to the tune of ~$50B per year.
I don't see how any of this is bad for China, when the whole world is now replacing the US with their trade.
product still cheap
hurts China
this is literally the plan haha
who cares? im not poor, i get more money than most for doing literally nothing but sit at home jerking off
i cant imagine giving a FUCK about some 500 dollar purchase, you pathetic losers. you probably pay more in fast food for your fat ass than you ever did on video games
"no one" now means 50%
"no one" means $1,500,000,000 worth of imports per day
"no one" means the American consumer is paying an extra 145% of their goods
Holy fucking retarded niggermutt.
herro ferro chinamanu
i think this chink broke
trump wins and thread is rather slow for a shitpost raid
those empty factories really must have starved the chinks. low on energy reserves.
Did Americans really think they could build up a supply chains that cost hundreds of billions of dollars over a 40-year period in a matter of weeks?
The point of tariffs is to have them when you already have a manufacturing base. When you can't build shit and have nowhere to build shit, you don't supply slap 10000% tariffs.
Gas cheaper than ever in my shithole
Same with groceries
But plastic toys I dont need will be slightly more expensive.
OH NO, MY CONSOOMING.
Need to buy stuff 24/7 or I'll go insane!
under the gold standard.
Yes, but the stock market already existed back then. Which means mongrels creating bubbles and manipulating the economy also existed.
from having those every decade
We already have those every decade, idiot. There was an economic crisis in 2008, and another one in 2020 with COVID.
I like how this means manufacture in america can eat a dick again.
>Same with groceries
Post 1kg of ground beef at your local grocery compared to 1kg of ground beef 5 years ago.
>Same with groceries
Post 1kg of ground beef at your local grocery compared to 1kg of ground beef 5 years ago.
No you don't understand, I WANT all my stuff to be made cheaply by literal slave labor
How are you supposed to force capitalists to manufacture here and not in slave-labor countries?
1) Tariffs (working within the capitalist system)
2) Putting a gun to to their stupid lazy pig capitalist head, and telling them you WILL build the factory here
The goal posts have been amazing this past month.
We went from Trump is gonna crash the economy and get BTFO, to well actually the rest of the world has to subsidize America's tariffs cause they're so big to, well whatever cope this thread is full of considering Trump won as China tarrifs are lower at 10% while ours are still 30% at china and 10% worldwide.
China is not paying 30%.
China IS paying 30% you fucking IDIOT. That's why they bent the knee. And that's why videos with empty factories went viral. Because China couldn't sell their products in America for dirty cheap anymore. Meanwhile USA can import goods at just 10%. Because you're lying, pathetic faggot is why you lost and why you will lose again.
Bot broke lol.
I dont care about 5 years ago, I care about now. And its cheaper.
Gas especially, haven't seen prices this low since pre-covid.
That's all I care about, having a few extra bucks in my pocket.
food prices goes up 100000%
food prices go down 5%
"see, I'm winning"
Oh okay.
are you baiting on purpose or actually retarded? biden was president during that whole graph timeline
How far back do you want to go? Or do you want to say 2016-2020 was because of the previous nigger in charge as well?
Nigga it has always risen regardless of the president.
No president cares

Trump is literally the best president the US has ever had. Everything he did was great, nothing he did was bad.
land votes
He won by a few million votes. Why did he start declaring mandates to do shit he didn't run on?

video games?
You lost btw
Yes. and for them to cry
I spended $170 for my 2 weeks of groceries yesterday just like I have for years.
