Your cryptic posts on these tariffs, even when they are clearly destroying the economy, only underscore your poor understanding of what’s going on. Maybe sit the next few posts out. You don’t need to cheer on our economic demise, even if you don’t understand it. And no, the majority of the world, is “taking on the bully.” For fuk sake, Japan and Korea have joined with China to counter them. All this does is fuk everyone and you’re too caught up in bullsht Fox News and jingoistic platitudes to see it. |

The drama on the tariff is just not bothering regular people. It is a temporary thing and I am happy that my friends in auto industry and other industry will have jobs. Too often republicans just think of wealthy. They finally are prioritizing middle class. The tariffs are a negotiating tool and also glad it has been show how the USA has been way overpaying for years. Time to have some reciprocity and allow more of our good out. |
Except Trump fired my USDA friend who is a fungi specialist who inspects crops. Back temporarily, but who knows for how long. He’s fired climate experts. That doesn’t help American farming, though they’ll hire them on their own and >> pass that cost on to consumers. LOL. |
Yes, but only the Canada and Mexico tariffs. |
I had to go look up what happened to farmers after the last tariffs and here are some numbers:
- the 2018 tariffs cost farmers between $27-$30 billion - we paid those farmers $23 billion in aid to bail them out - according to an agricultural news and information source about the old and new tariffs, “when Trump left office in 2020, farm income increased by 27% with President Joe Biden at the helm.” |
Vance would have to be impeached. He’s in on this and Europe hates him. He’s a no-go. |
The rest of the world is moving to EVs. Clean Energy is cheaper and can be built faster. Once again, we are troglodytes. |
I’m glad you’re happy about paying $3,500 for these “jobs.” A lot of people can’t afford $3,500 extra a year and the tariffs will hurt them. |
Yeah, and those effing farmers voted for the felon because they liked handouts. If this is capitalism, let businesses fail. They don’t need a bailout. They can suffer like the rest of us. |
Since many MAGA aren’t in the market, will the decline in the stock market even impact them? Maybe they think they’re immune? I’m trying to game out how Trump‘s erratic presidency helps them in the short medium and long-term. I guess we’ll just have to see. |
Vote for garbage, get garbage. |
Reciprocity? None of these countries come close to charging tariffs anything near these levels. This has nothing to with reciprocity. |
All the tariffs are based on an emergency declaration. |
