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.
 
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%?
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.
 
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."

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
 
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?
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.
 
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
Mein negro several nations are already saying they'll lower their own tariffs (one of his goals) and several megacorps like NVidia and Apple have plans to open up domestic production of goods (another of his goals). That's the point of tariffs, it's a little pain now for stability later. America was at its strongest economically, militarily and culturally when we had strong production capabilities and before we began letting every other backwater shithole extort us and benefit from our benevolence.

The Ford I had broke down 3 times a year, once when I needed to get to school. The Nissan after nearly killed me a couple of times (and if I didn't heed the Takata recall, it would have). When with the Honda Civic and now satisfied.
 
Those with a high time preference can't possibly fathom the mutuality between short term and long term.

I agree with this, without question, the rich will get richer and they should be taxed more.

This bit is just retarded though. I don't give a fuck about any of those people. I don't take sides in a game where the teams' only objective is to take turns shitting on the crowd.
Debt is an invention of money, which is a fabrication and invented as a form of control. Unfortunately, the original idea of keeping people happy with finances/financial control, has been left to successive retards who don't know what they're doing.

I know you want to spin it as hate on some flavour of politician but just stop. The division of the people because of the colour of a tie they wear is one of the reasons why we're in this shitty position.

I'm sorry, can you point to me toward the workaholic GenZAlpha willing to work for pennies at inane tasks?

I'd like to hire them and give them a raise.
 
N-no Drumpf, we have to keep getting ass raped every day so the fake money line will go up! Don't you know how the economy works? We need to be in 50 trillion dollars of debt and getting raped forever by the rest of the world! There are no alternatives! No escape! NO DRUMPF I SAID NO ESCAPE STOOOPP

@Hollywood Hulk Hogan PORTFOLIO BTFO BY TRUMP.

You can't beat Honda. Of course, the Honda *I* had 25 years ago was a lemon, but sometimes you just roll snake eyes.

For a guy who says that shit, you do nothing but whiteknight Trump and other Republicans. Trump is going to cause your groceries to go up 25% in a few months and you're defending it and celebrating it, all because your waifu did it. Trump plans to gut medicaid so that billionaires can get yet another tax cut. Stop it with that shit if you're gonna claim such a thing

America was at its best when corporations had no incentive to ship jobs overseas, when they were paying corporate tax rates of 90%. Instead Trump has you so brainwashed that you think his retarded tariffs are going to fix things and that you paying 25% more for stuff is a good thing :story: And Trump is going to make it worse by cutting taxed for corporations even more and even more tax cuts for the rich.

And no, those companies are not going to build factories here and countries are doing the opposite and increasing their tariffs because of your waifu. This is going to be a lot of pain for even more pain later.

You need to stop simping for the rich. It's hysterical that you think billionaires should get richer at your expense :story:
