He didn’t fuck the economy last time. He saved it.
you act like you know shit about this, but subsidies and tariffs have very different purposes, and the fact that you'd even say this reveals how little you personally know about this subject. this is not a widespread opinion, and it is certainly not a common comparison.
The lower 50% of Americans WILL however by heavily affected by the prices of manufactured goods rising sharply due to tariffs
Any investment asset, pretty much by definition, carries risk. Your point is therefore kind of pointless.
He didn't impose massive tariffs like this last time, right?
your still talking about GME in 2025 ? Ryan Cohen and Deep fucking Value rug pulled the bag holders hard. All their talk of changing the system and fighting wall street went out the window the second they had a chance to be greedy.
come the fuck on dude, what a dishonest attempt at an argument.
After the insane inflation we just did, I don't care. Things already skyrocketed. Throw some damn wrenches in the system now and see what works or not, I'm up for trying.
Again, the tariffs put in place today are not based on what other countries tariff us at all. They are seemingly completely arbitrary based on our trade deficit with said country, and even if we are trading at a surplus they get a 10% fuck you tariff anyway. Israel supposedly already got rid of their tariffs on US goods and they were still hit with a 17% tariff.
WTF does depreciation have to do with this? You're ranting here. Any investment - gold, real estate, stocks, ammo, crypto, etc. - carries risk.
They did it overnight, it wasn't done at a reasonable time for everything to be updated for today imo, but i would expect information about that. and as you were just explained to, the purpose of the way it was calculated is to interact with things that aren't seen by simple computation of the exact numbers, with the specific concept of the EU's multitude of bans of american products brought up. in addition, china has a shitload of laws restricting US ownership and ability to operate a business within china, which undoubtedly does financial trade harm, and that's part of those calculations. this is in addition to the ludicrous amount of scams and dropshipping garbage that no one needs to be buying in the first place.
Like the US banning European cheeses because they were aged for 59 days instead of 60?
okay, so when you have 5,000 rounds of ammunition, and the value of ammunition drops, do you lose those 5,000 rounds? no? then how are you going to equate it to the stock market, putting in 5,000 dollars and getting out 1,000 because of a bad investment? you're a retard for even bringing up physical investments, so i assumed you were talking about the only logical thing that would be involved with physical investments, depreciation, because the fucking house doesn't vanish if the housing market turns sour, you still have the thing, and you can use it yourself, if it's anything useable like ammunition or real estate.
so the EU tariffs us, right? what is your point here? that other countries tariff us?
You don't lose your ownership position in a company if the value of your stock drops. If you are buying ammunition purely for investing, it is the exact same thing as buying stocks. The difference is that no one buys ammunition purely as a financial investment.
Money is money is money. If I buy $5K worth of ammo and it drops in value $4K, I have $1K left. If I buy a house for $5K and it drops in value $4K I have $1K left. If I buy a mutual fund for $5K and it drops in value $4K I have $1K left. You're trying to argue that this $1K is better than that $1K, or the other $1K. This is a ridiculous argument.
Except that you can get almost every type of European cheese except for young unpasteurized cheese in the US. The reverse is not true; American cheesemakers can't sell their products in Europe because it's illegal sell many cheeses in Europe if they weren't made in certain parts of it.
