That's if there is an American alternative and if it's actually cheaper. Tesla cars are still at $100K and I'm still not buying a Ford because it's an object lesson in "there's nothing more expensive than buying cheap."
Teslas suck because they're EVs, but a Model 3 starts at $42.5k with a $7.5k tax credit.
 
Not a NEET, I actually go outside and get bitches
An incel who has autism so badly that he has an anime profile pic with a MAGA hat photoshopped on isn't getting any women irl. Let's be real here

I'm not saying just blame Biden. Re read my post.
Prices have been going wild for 10 years. We went through austerity in 2009-2014, yet shit was cheaper back then, even in the wake of the "worst recession in 100 years". Since 2019 the prices have been going insane and the quality has dropped as much as the prices have gone up.

You can't blame the guy who has been in charge 100 days, or whatever, while not blaming the previous guy, and the guy before that, and the one before that. Well, you can, but you'd out yourself as fucking retard.
Except these prices will be directly related to Trump's tariffs. When a company has to pay a 35% tax on all imports, who do you think pays that 35%?
 
You are retarded, even for a guy who wants an obese, elderly, senile conman to penetrate him, if you really believe this
I'm not arguing with you about this. You've been very clear about your financial situation on this and other threads. I know you're getting absolutely screwed over and fucked in the ass by all this. I'm not going to spit in your face and tell you to see things for my perspective while your portfolio is getting carved like a Thanksgiving turkey.

Actually I am doing okay. I sold most of my stocks when I realized that your waifu had an unhealthy obsession with tariffs. I got a half mill in cash just waiting to buy in

I am just telling you that Trump is a retard and tariffs are going to fuck everyone, you included. You will refuse to believe it though even when you're paying 25% more for groceries in 3 months and you'll still adore and worship Trump as your god. Trump could set your house on fire and you'd still worship him as your god. It's really weird, dude
 
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.
Wrong, because you're leaving out the transaction costs to sell. What you "have left" must take into account the cost you'd face to sell the item.

Selling a commonly traded US mutual fund is very cheap and easy. You can do it in minutes from your couch.

When you sell residential real estate in my area, you end up losing at least 8 percent in transaction costs including transfer fees, agent, etc. Other locations have higher or lower costs, but it's always a lot of money. That's not saying anything about the cost to repaint, etc, before selling. Plus the transaction usually take weeks to go through.

Ammo is pretty easy to sell to a buddy at the range, but you won't get the same price as a retail seller of new/never owned ammo. I'm guessing that's more than 8 percent off what you bought that ammo for, so worse than real estate.

Selling physical gold or silver costs often more than that, in practical terms, because the commercial metals dealers won't give you a fair deal. You can try to sell to a private party that won't screw you over, but that costs time. Then there's the huge safety risk of meeting up with a stranger that knows you're carrying gold coins.
 
All thats great, and let's assume it's true. JohnnyBravo asked you a good question. Why is it ok for the other countries in the world to tariff the USofA but not ok for the USofA to place tarifs on the world?
The bigger hypocrisy is why the reaction to Biden's inflation, after it was happening was 'the president doesn't control inflation, and if there's any inflation it's fine, just get a 2nd job'. But not when it's Trump and about potential future inflation it's 'chud, it's always the president's fault and get a 2nd job too'.

These are the same people that have fucked millions of poor people out of jobs and communities. Then laugh when I point out all the people in my country are dying of overdoses. I just can't feel bad for them. Why don't they just start taking fent to take the edge off?
 
Telling yourself the tariffs and reorganization of global trade will be "shortterm pain, longterm gain". Nigga youre gonna live in a pod, eat the bugs, and own nothing
Reddit is down the hall and to the left.
"conservative"
"reddit"
Something doesn't add up here...
True. It’s literally all Doom and Gloom there.
It's fine, so long as there's a "made in america" sticker on the pod and it and it plays the national anthem to wake you up to go work in the good, clean coal mine.
Bait used to be believable.

@Null
Hey fatty, vet the people who make accounts on this site better so we don’t have to deal with this shit. It’s fucking ridiculous.

I agree. The cost is always passed on to the customer. That doesn't excuse why prices are so high, and quality so shitty, going back almost two decades.
Whatever has been tried, hasn't worked. Whatever economic policy those in charge use, isn't working, unless the intention is to make quality more shitty and more expensive.

Maybe crashing the economy with no survivors will work, maybe it won't. All we know is what we've done since 2008 has made everything worse.

My Ford just turned ten. Zero major repairs in that time. They don't make them like they used to, and that's a good thing.

You think making people, yourself possibly included, homeless is going to fix things? It won't. It's going to just make the rich even richer.

You really want to fix this shit? Increase taxes on corporations and the rich. Corporations only pay taxes on profits. So a higher tax rate gives them more incentive to invest in their company (more factories, employees, etc) because they'd be getting taxed on 90% the profits. It worked in the 50s and it worked very well. Instead Reagan came in and cut taxed on corporations and your waifus Bush Jr and Trump did more corporate tax cuts which made it even worse. Plus since you MAGA retards were worried about the debt from 2021-2024 (now you don't seem to care, gee I wonder why?) it would help with that

You know I have yet to see a real good answer to this question by people against the tariffs. Why is it ok for every other country to tariff us but its bad for us to tariff them? Why is it ok for Japan to push more local products and goods to be sold over another countries, but we have to continue to buy medicine from fucking China of all places. Please I need a real, honest, answer with facts and someone holding life sized charts that isn't just regurgitated sound bites from the some commie youtuber or something like that.
 
All the bitching the Right did about the Great Reset is actually happening just under a fat orange bitch that doesn't understand what tariffs do.

Enjoy making Temu shirts for $2 an hour for China retards.
this doesn't even make any sense. why would china want things made in america? they have a slave caste of labor already. this is a retarded concept. the people who would be buying american made goods in a world where every country tariffs the shit out of one another are americans. china wouldn't be paying retarded import costs on things from america, you are a dumb nigger.

You think making people, yourself possibly included, homeless is going to fix things? It won't. It's going to just make the rich even richer.
unfathomably disingenuous. homelessness was at its peak under the biden admin, due to everything from the economy to illegal immigration to refusing to forbid outside land speculators from buying up property because it would've fucked with his little buttbuddy businessmen. you're not on your game today, hulk.
