Isn't it wild how so many Americans do not understand how tariffs work?

.ml and shit talking communism.

Actually the worst appears to be hexbear that I blocked entirely.

Quite frankly I don't care much. I actually enjoy being exposed to different views, and I can ignore extremism quite easily.

What about the insider trading of all Trump’s circle?

[–] JumpyWombat@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 week ago

Even worse then: no point in imposing tariffs to encourage local production.

Please remember that every time he announces something, even if doesn’t happen, the market fluctuates. If you know in advance, you can profit. The Trump administrator is constantly committing insider trading.

Didn't the Americans impeach Clinton simply for hiding that he got a blowjob?

It's very disappointing if you wanted a strong response for an ephemeral short term win. In the long run, the 15% tariffs alone will harm the US while the EU will diversify more its market.

How can you tell it's sarcasm when the POTUS himself says stuff like that?

[–] JumpyWombat@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 week ago (2 children)

and why would you need them back

Exactly! What's the endgame here?

The only explanation I have is that in his (and Musk's) mind all intellectual jobs will be replaced by AI, and the US will need to shift everybody to manual jobs to assemble stuff. It's so stupid and dystopic that it may even be true.
