    Meanwhile, actual headline I saw in a paper from my city: Trump’s Tarriffs Spell Big Trouble for China!

    In case anyone was wondering why there are no riots, it’s because most people are reading drivel like that.

    MAGA doesn’t care. Because their objective per their Russian handlers. Is to destabilize the United States.

    MAGA are traitors and we needed to send them to jail a long time ago. But now they run the government.

      Or you could listen to people who don’t agree with you and let them articulate why they reject what you believe in to protect yourself from living in a cult of hysteria

        I don’t need to let fascists articulate why they disagree with me. I know why they disagree with me, and it’s because they’re fundamentally horrible people.

          If you can’t explain what the other side believes and have the opposing side say “Yes, that’s exactly how I view it, correct”, then you don’t know what they are far. Understanding your enemy’s point of view does not mean that you agree with it, otherwise you are the very filth that you label others as being. If everybody opposed to you is wrong, if everybody against you are all fascists, then technically you have made yourself the totalitarian fascist if those against you are not allowed to speak publicly

            I can explain, I just won’t because their viewpoint doesn’t deserve to be entertained.

            There’s no explanation that could justify their actions, full stop.

                What the actual fuck are you talking about? This whole conversation was about MAGAs.

                But, I don’t believe that any current Republican in power actually follows the conservative platform. It’s like Christians who use their religion as an excuse to hate. The current Republican party is all fascists.

                8Chan, where the same radicalised incels worked in unison to move the Overton window. Allowing big Tech and Rupert Murdoch to constantly run propaganda against immigrants, whilst sustaining high levels of legal immigration to afford cheap labour and push the working class against eachother. All while Google, Meta, Microsoft and all of those clowns sell our active location Data collected from our phnes to Saudis, Russia and other extremely wealthy families so they could see businesses with less footfall during COVID, allowing them to bankrupt the global economy by shorting those companies through options. Further, using those ill gotten gains through shell companies and private equity to purchase all available housing supply in countries around the world whilst lobbying against the building of new houses. Netting themselves billions in profit and bankrupting businesses causing further economic downturn, in conjunction with the hostile takeover of the taxi cab and food delivery businesses and the expansion of self-serve checkouts. Further damaging restaurants and creating more unemployment, leading to fewer entry level jobs, normalising isolation and creating an atmosphere of distrust between people. Allowing for the further radicalisation of now unemployed young men. All while circulating millions of misleading, and sometimes, totally fake stories about immigrants. People that they brought here in the first place. All in order to push the world into a global conflict, buy up Earth and install themselves as the rulers of the ashes at the cost of billions of peoples lives.

                You are the obedient masses who don’t question anything.

                It’s both, because the people in control of the federal government will either fix or break things. Historically, the left fixes things and the right destroys them.

        Well, yeah. Half as much in Europe as in the US, it should be noted. But yeah, it does seem many corpos will either spread the US hit globally to mitigate the sticker shock in the US at the cost of giving some to everyone else (or just as a convenient excuse to squeeze more money out of people). It sucks.

        But you would still have to report that you refer to global GDP or to global prices if that’s what you meant. Those numbers are going to be different either way. And that’s not what they are referring to anyway.

    We upgraded all of our hardware, got spares, and signed up for extended warranty before the tariffs hit. Even is all goes back to normal eventually and we spent capital up front for nothing, businesses like ours need stability. Our day to day is chaotic enough without the added stress of not having functioning equipment because an senile orange buffoon decided to whip out his mushroom peen and proclaim that the world needs to bow down and worship his flaccid ego.
