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.
Very true, but it's a very useful one.
PDOs only apply to labeling afaik, if anything its akin to trademarks (which we have in America). An American could make something the exact same as Champagne and sell it in Europe, they would just have to call it sparkling wine or something.
That’s because the chips act didn’t fucking work because at the end of the day they didn’t have to open factories for real to get any fucking benefits because as it turns out the only thing companies really care about is actual loss and incentives don’t do jack shit retard.
you're a moron and there's no helping you. you cannot conceive that physical items have a value beyond the monetary for some reason. do you think people stockpile ammo and canned food to sell them? no, of course not, they stockpile it to have it ready in case of them needing to use it. my point was and continues to be that it is retarded to compare physical commodities which have value other than money to stock trading, which is always done to avoid the direct analogy to gambling, which is you put money into a system that may or may not give you a return, and you hope. if you go with the safe best you'll win very low amounts, but its still technically a gamble because as far as you know, there may be new legislation that fucked up something you bet on.
Hate to break it to you, but they don't. Especially when it comes to investing - a very necessary human activity.
These aren't investments, moron - they're insurance policies.
Then why even compare it to the stock market?
bullets don't have value beyond the monetary? okay, you're just a fucking idiot.
gamestop never had a chance at hurting globohomo mega firms and unironically robin hood shutting it down probably stopped a bunch of retarded retail investors from losing money buying the top of a pump and dump.
