Welcome to the Bone Zone. This retarded nigger has been calling for tariffs for months but I held despite kike Lutnik saying to expect more. Zognald offered the slightest bit of hope he wouldn’t be retarded but nope. I guess he’s a complete WEF stooge. Prepare to own nothing and be happy I guess.
The way I look at it is Trump literally had just two options. Option A is you become President of the United States. Option B is you die in prison. He understandably took option A by any means necessary including selling out to people that hated him two seconds ago.

I voted for him and I’m not going to doom about the economy because tariffs were always going to hurt, that’s how they work. But 2016 Trump doesn’t exist anymore. He sold out.
 
Margin called? Are you margin trading as a fucking retail investor!? Holy shit, you deserve every loss that comes your way, you absolute maroon.
E*Trade counts 10% or greater losses as callable in the premarket. I do hold market price shares; but I’m stuck in OKLO at $28.3, realistically I should’ve just bled the $200 and not white knuckled until $800. I now am drinking myself into a stupor in order to ignore the fact I’m holding 100 shares of Sammy Boy’s shitstock. Worst case I drop to 70 shares.

Maroon is a color. Maroon 5 is a band.

I hate boomers too but the US economy is the best on the planet and has only gotten better over the last 60 years, our biggest issue is housing which would be solved by getting rid of every immigrants and banning investment firms and extremely wealthy individuals from buying too many houses.
Do you want to ruin all the nest eggs that all the boomers have by crashing the housing market? You think that wouldn't have an equally negative effect on the green line going up?
 
You have no idea how big this is ..

For decades, china and third world shitstains exploited this loophole and exported goods essentially FREE at the expensive of American tax payer...

This is a gameover scenario....for all Asian exporters.

holy shit, these companies are going to croak almost instantly. they operate on the most razor thin margins because they all operate on demand, so there may even be deliveries that haven't been charged yet that see these increased tariffs, and i don't even know who's gonna have to eat that cost, but this is will be so fucking great for putting a dent in these dogshit slopselling dropship 'retailers', and it will also fuck with those scams that send packages to peoples' homes just to collect tracking numbers because now those things will be retardedly expensive for everyone involved to ship from china.
 
>vote for trump to save America
>cheer when the leading benchmark for the state of the US economy (the stock market) dumps

I understand trusting the plan and thinking that in two more weeks it'll be back, but if you eagerly wish for the retirement accounts and net worth of hard working Americans to be wiped out just to own the jews or whatever you are a fucking idiot.
So this stock market thing its going down which means people are pulling money out of it right? Where is that money going?

USPS may be green this year.

....nah.
 
The List of Tariffs imposed by the Great President Trump. It’s reciprocal but think of it as a probationary period for many of these countries. They’re only being charged HALF the tariffs that they impose on the US. If they don’t reduce their tariffs to match or go lower than US tariffs, Trump will crank up US tariffs in a truly reciprocal manner.

*all countries will be assessed a minimum 10% tariff (a small price to pay for access to the most coveted market in the world)

I find it interesting that a lot of Muslim majority countries have such low tariffs compared to Europe.
 
Removing China, Germany's share of global manufacturing increased until the past decade. Japan despite population pressures did as well to the present day.
I must have made a mistake, I thought we were talking about the workforces (hence why automation being important here) and share of wealth at the national level, not the global one. We both agree that Germany and the US (as well as Japan) remain industrial powerhouses despite the service sector outgrowing the manufacturing sector in all 3 of those economies.
China is de-prioritizing the focus on software in education in favor of engineering, because they realized that "lower" level manufacture directly impacts and feeds into the capability for higher level manufacture, such as semiconductor fabrication.
I would not know if China's educational priorities directly translate into the capital allocation within China, where the service sector is still outgrowing the manufacturing sector.

Also, while SEA's growth is indeed motivated by friendshoring, I think it's much less of a factor than competitiveness in salary. The argument for geopolitically motivated growth is probably much better for Mexico, but a lot of the nearshoring investments have not yet made an impact in Mexico's manufacturing sector growth.
 
The stock market is actual literal fake bullshit. When r/wallstreetbets and /biz/ were pulling a funny they actually froze GME but only for retail traders, rich fucks and stock brokers could still buy it and trade it just fine.

That's not a free market, that's a rigged game for globalist lizard people.
 
But 2016 Trump doesn’t exist anymore. He sold out.
Though he survived the bullet it still killed the man he once was....

USD or other currencies, foreign markets, gold, real estate, etc.
In my left hand I hold an imaginary number. In my right is a stack of cash, a pile of blow, gold bars, and the deed to a house. You'd choose a funny number that makes billionaires and boomers rich over real actual tangible things?
 
"Tariffs are bad, they haven't been used since the Age of Sail, they don't work, no one uses them anymore, and they're always bad for the economy."
Trump has a chart
"Okay every other country uses tariffs and uses them specifically against the US but he's lying since this very specific definition I'm using means these countries only have a 33.33% tariff on US goods and not 90% like Trump said."

These people beclown themselves every day and I'm here for it.
thats something people have noticed when it comes to trump. "X" "no Y" "ok well it turns out he is mostly right but he wasn't 100% correct" and its been like this for a decade. honestly probably a lot longer, but Trump's the only one to call out the left on these kike tactics, the rest of the GOP were paid opposition so they didn't care about being vilified.

Like the left would rather die than give the right a win, whereas the right is so autistic that they genuinely assume the left and women and minorities are as sincere as they are about their stated beliefs.

And that's sort of the problem, society isn't remotely honest and openly attacks those that are sincere and it leads to people being jaded or cynical and its been this way for a very long time, especially if you're in the upper echoelons of society.

The guys working cart return might always be 100% sincere but no one people respect is, the guys in the army with an MOS of 11 whatever are honest and sincere but the officers and government contractors and everyone else isn't.

Do something pussy. Nuke 5th Ave and let my money be purified in hellfire.
 
The only people I know who use these services do it as a joke. Another pyrrhic victory for MIGA.
It was actually good for hobbyist electronics and such. I got my new keyboard switches from temu for $15 instead of $40. Just did my last batch of Arduino stuff before the tariffs hit. It's literally the same stuff that's on amazon but way cheaper.

My condolences, power leveling for a minute but Ive gotten to watch a good amount of traders eat shit over the last two days, all trading equities; the futures traders seem unimpacted.
