Yeah same. Account of 7 years banned in an instant for making fun of the chosen people. Turns out you can not do that. Ever.

You can be racist against everyone else though especially muslims. Individual site mods might take issue with that, but not the admins.

Hope this falls through. Any trade deals that allow the US to circumvent Trumps policies and thus keep his regime going is bad. The big crash needs to happen before people are motivated to fight back. The slow frog boil is what led us here to begin with.

Don't care about the grand casino lines and neither should you, unless you look at the fancy lines you personally invested in.

The bigger coming bomb will be when those tariffs actually catch up with domestic consumption (going down hard because no one has money anymore to pay for all of this), leading to mass layoffs, leading to even more reduction in consumption because even less people have money, leading to more layoffs, leading to... Mass austerity that will eat up the savings reached by dismantling the government, because of the brutal tax losses for the remnants of said government.

And 37% still approve of his “economic leadership”?

"You know, I saw MadMax back in the day and it seemed like the lads were having a lot of fun."

Edit: Since this is not a meme sub: You know as well as I do that this many people genuinely believe Trump when he says this is somehow good for the US. The quote I've commonly read in connection with this is "finally the other countries will be paying their fair share!".

Switzerland was so proud of avoiding the face eating leopard for so long. But the leopard found out how delectable Swiss faces are.

I'm sure China would send us those for free.

Yeah my understanding of the ID situation in the US is certainly flawed. It seems labyrinthian to me at times due to all the different state ordenances. Although nothing compared to the US health care system. Jesus Christ. One thing I've learned here is that freedom certainly isn't free.

"Leave" from public view. That is all people on the right ask of Musk. They are okay with his interference and interventions. He just makes himself too much of a target by being publicly visible.

You can't be the shadow government when you're exposed to sunlight. Then again, the brain behind the entire operation never stepped out of the shadows and will remain there. Peter Thiel.

Thanks for typing out the percentages, so far I've only seen emotional news reports about it without any detailed info.

Are these tariffs on ALL goods from a certain country? Eg, does 34% on China mean 34% on ALL Chinese goods or just certain ones like cars?

Well, one of two things will happen now.

  • The US economy will recede by roughly 30% over the coming years (classified by economists as "catastrophic collapse")

  • It will turn out that trade was "fake and gay" all along and autarky is the way to go, despite centuries of historic lessons to the contrary.

Take your pick.
