Yes, another outcome is that tariffs make cheap goods completely unprofitable, so that only expensive, premium goods remain. The consumer still feels this as a price increase.

it's not a binary though, cheap goods vs expensive.

1) there is a huge new category of cheap goods that simply would not have existed before globalization and container shipping. if you can't buy a $20 bubble machine for your kids, you're not going to buy a $40 one. you're going to just blow bubbles. This is also true for many kitchen gadgets, party supplies, etc

2) as has been discussed here, the repair/replace costs of the "cheap" goods complicate the issue significantly.

3) the most difficult issue to discuss is the impact this all has on the domestic and cottage economy, because it's the hardest to quantify, but it's very real. The presence of cheap chinese crap destroys people's ability to make money with their skills and eventually destroys those skills. Once you can go to a big box store and buy crap you don't have to pay someone to make a better version. Once you are forced to replace something when it breaks because it either cannot be repaired or is so cheap to replace you can't justify the repair, the person who would have repaired it loses. This has profound effects on society that are easy to ignore because again they're very very difficult to quantify, but I've seen the disappearance of alteration shops and shoe repair and people's loss of the option to make a little money making halloween costumes or whatever. Some of this has been ameliorated by the Internet but that doesn't change the damage to the social fabric.
 
Join date doesn't mean much, i lurked for a couple years before I joined. Some people are on their 2nd, 3rd, and even fourth account because of lost login passwords and a couple times when the site went down on clearnet. It's mostly just you come across like a faggot and your shit is all retarded.
When Sammich and I agree on something, you know you're doing something wrong.
 
OOHHH NOOOOOOOOO What are they doing, Jesus! We just shittalked null a lot but he might even laugh puke at this. Fuck it, I'm putting it on the mati thread at least.

If null doesn't play that on mati I'll kill myself.
I love how they make you pause the video because they can't stop themselves from using too many words.

That aside, they are known by many names; liberal white women in their 40s, cat ladies, Karens, empty egg cartons. They really need to stop promoting this kind of women, otherwise they can kiss men goodbye, forever.
 
Please Nintendo, go into one of your super litigious spergouts about a fucking political party using the Smash Bros Melee theme...

I really, really want this to happen too. LMAO. Given that Nintendo has a track record of going after some of the most benign uses of their IP, there's a fairly good chance of this happening.
 
Long-term plans are not viable in this era. The masses want their problems solved now.
People might be bashing you for this. But if there's anything this thread has shown me (including people I've spoken to IRL on all sides of the political spectrum), most don't really look at long-term sustainability. If they don't see immediate positive changes, they'll assume everything is going into a super death spiral. I wonder how this is going to play out for the rest of his presidency, considering how woefully pessimistic people get over this...
 
I know this is broadly grouping races, given white people isn't a monolith (English women tend to look like sacks of bricks), but there is a notable phenotypical difference between African Americans and actual Africans. Between the pooor diet, rampant inbreeding, and Dahlian explanation that bad personalities make a person ugly, African Americans are notably much uglier than actual Africans.
African Americans are a mixed people at about 20% White/80% Black. We also tend to get Elite Africans in the US.

I dunno about that. We have a bunch of Ethiopian blub head retards who should, legit, be pushed in a volcano. Also, we have a ton of Sudanese people, which, to be honest, is being gracious, calling them people and not obese, mentally challenged apes who smell bad. And Nigerians, the legit biggest double niggers of the entire earth.

We never get based Africans, tbh.
 
College is about you signing in the line to get a 100k loan more than it is about education now
It needs to be stressed that connections are still the most valuable thing you can obtain in college, even in the rotting indoctrination camp form that we have today.
Though to be fair, I doubt that many people know which type of kids and professors that you would in to network with in order to make the most of where you plan to go in life.

Easy, people with trust funds

Watch out, we got some badasses over here.

The one rep who revealed she hates balloons just exposed herself to troll who could dress up as clowns.
 
It’s funny when you contrast this with what the dems are trying to do today with their disastrous tik tok of horrifying old crones jacking off invisible men. Striving and pathetic, meanwhile JD is a professional statesman who simply gives a little nod and a smile that the kids made some silly meme of his face.

And think of the quiet seething from the faggots who made this meme, because they started it with the intent of trying to bully him or give him body dysmorphia, which doesn’t work on normal people with friends and family who aren’t terminally online miserable lonely faggots.
It's also a classic case of the leftoid theory of mind problem and the fact they sincerely and honestly at the end of the day have no idea what their enemies are or do. Merely the markers that make up "Not one of us".

Chuds will read marx and watch their hokey pirated media slop, read their socials and go to their hangouts and contain their power levels and spergouts and play their games and talk to them just to better learn what they actually think and to better make fun of them, leftoids can't fathom doing the same and outright refuse to. And forever splinter into their own little hidey holes when people aren't correct enough even then, because they made the act of even curiously taking a contrary thought in hand and investigating it and turning it around like a puzzle box for clues a mortal social sin. Because that thought was not previously approved for mass consumption and correct thinking.

So in spirit even if not exactly worded as such, Infidels and anything they touch is forever unclean - To a point where it can even retroactively taint anything that was once a cherished institution or object to them. (Harry Potter comes to mind.)

Which the chud-spheres realized collectively and weaponized by simply taking things they want to use as an icon or face or epic own and turning it into an untouchable trinket that would get our scent on them and see them ripped apart by their own camp. Chudjak was originally meant to own the chuds until the opposite side adopted it and rolled with it. So now if you try to post chudjak as the epic own it was originally intended to be, the same camp that created it will come running and grill you and rush you down because chudjak has been the proud star of many animations like turning a portland hipster into a brood nugget and other over the top counter signaling.

So at the end of the day, leftoids are literally running on information underflow, they have nothing to work with because they can't stomach the recon or fear retribution from their side for being seen with the enemy and they have piss poor memetic skills and real world understanding.

They have no actual perception or grasp of anyone that is not them, so they have to make up bizarre mental effigys and homonculi of what they THINK they are - And then are shocked when they get outmanauved and out-memed every single fucking time because their asspull imagined simulations didn't align with reality.
