What a fucked up world where we are cheering on China. Fucking trump.
If they suck at each other, then that's way less bad. Root for simultaneous knockout punches.
They both suck.
The workforce is unionizing even if their union is pretty terrible.
Definitely just a toss up of where this is going.
Which workforce? The Chinese? There's only one union and it's run by the government. Any non-government unions are illegal.
The US is gaining a new interest in unions, but we have our own anti-union laws to deal with. Not as bad China's obviously.
such a socialist country where union protests lead you to being disappeared
Oh sorry, did I say socialist? China lines up better as a fascist economy.
Yeah in a global environment essentially China is the workforce/factory workers of the previous gilded age.
And it's pretty much exactly my point that their union (the government) is finally pushing back against the management while being not exactly kind to their workers.
We are essentially reliving through a new worker rebellion but from the governments of the global south with their own layers of local nuance underneath that.
Weird times.

You’re fucked when the other party has read it too.
I don't think anyone needs to read his book up know he's a fuck up. China doesn't care how much we try and upset their apple cart, they aren't going to play Trump's game.

You say "too" here, but it's doubtful that Trump has actually read his book.
He famously had it ghost written, but fucked up the deal hard enough that his ghost writer got full writing credit on the cover.
Dealing. Is an art.
Too much art, not many deals. 😔
Big flex from China. I'm waiting for a country to call trump's bluff by putting an export tax on their own goods sent to the USA.
If only.. America holds 20% of global purchasing power so an export tax like that would result in needing to lower local interest rates to boost domestic productivity, which would decrease foreign investment, eventually weakening the local currency.
It would be hilarious if a country that exports very little to nothing to the US did it to make a point though. Totally on board with that.
China is already weakening their currency to keep their exports (worldwide) more attractive.

Canada should have done this on everything. If the Americans can afford the tariff then there is room for us to charge more. Not really but yeah should do it.

Extortionist fails
Didn't this happen last time? Less dramatically, but still.
He puts in a bunch of tariffs. China reciprocates. The market is thrown into chaos. He shouts and screams. China ignores him. He backtracks. China ends the tariffs but doesn't do anything to try and appease him. He claims it's a victory. His fluffers say the tariffs were just to bring China to the table, which justifies the hit to the market, despite the fact China didn't come to the table and President Pigshit didn't articulate what China could actually give him to end the tariffs.
Yes, but this time he also decided to tariff the whole world.
Despite that, Fox News will continue stacking his invisible laurels. Doesn't matter if his policy does anything. All that matters is that his followers are convinced that the policies are doing something.
Everyone turn on your ad blocker and go look at that website, it’s (2024-)incredible it’s legal to be so disingenuous
I made the mistake of visiting yesterday and I will never not be dumber because I read their first seven headlines plus at least a dozen comments
That’s right, those headlines are the dumbest things you’ve ever seen on the planet… but then you scroll to the bottom of an article
Pray for me
🙏 thanks for reporting your findings. Hope you recover soon.
