Remember, all of this is the fault of the boomers promising themselves that they would have exorbitant lives of luxury and fuck them kids, they can just pull themselves up by the bootstraps like they did.
it does take time and investment to make it happen. which is why trump has been saying that, and why we're saying that we're all okay with it taking time and investment. i agree that the poor shouldn't suffer while the wealthy get wealthier, which is why it's funny for people to say in one breath "This is only going to benefit the wealthy!" and in the other breath, say "The people who own the vast majority of stock, the wealthy, are going to suffer massively from these tariffs!"
This is one of those things where, if the public had any understanding of economics at all (and more importantly, a willingness/humility to actually listen) they’d get it. A change in the cost of production is always partially passed along. Partially. For that to not be the case the producer or consumer has to be literally unable to change their own level of production/consumption.
For the last four years, I've been told that the economy was all sunshine and blowjobs, and that I was just hallucinating my grocery bill doubling in size. We we even gaslight that inflation is a good thing, and that we damn dirty peasants didn't appreciate the shit being served on our plates.
care about inflation and the kitchen tables of the peons? Good luck. The ship for that sailed decades ago. Even the most progressive of electable Democrats are slaves to Big Business.
are statistics about black crime bullshit?
it's obvious that you can see these people like spinning marlboro man do not actually understand economics, and are just pretending to have any knowledge of the situation at all, because the guy was agreeing yesterday that tariffs are just 'worse subsidies'. they literally do not understand the very basic concepts we're discussing in the thread, and they think they do. dunning-kruger is probably at its absolute peak in this thread, across the whole site. people become sudden experts in shit they have NO idea about.
yes, they're obviously much higher but a lot of black crime simply isn't reported at all, especially in bughives like LA, SA, DC, and NYC.
Yes. Black crime is probably way worse than what they show.
What I'm getting at is you have to evaluate the costs and benefits of the approach, tariffs can be a useful tool to level the playing field, but they can also be very destructive if used the wrong way. If you move too quickly, you create disruptions and unnecessary economic hardship when it could be managed more gradually to get to the same place.
Nigger yesterday you were trying to argue that losing $4000 in gold is somehow better than losing $4000 in stocks because it's heckin physical or something and that somehow makes the $4000 different.
Has Jim Cramer given his take yet?
they can, which is why it's frustrating that you aren't opening your eyes and looking at reality. multiple countries dropped tariffs to 0 IMMEDIATELY. canada came to the negotiation table after saber rattling for a month. multiple countries with already-reciprocal rates won't see increases. this is why people think you guys are dumb. this is literally already happening, and you are simply ignoring the reality of the matter to screech about something that i cannot even fathom anymore. most countries in the world do not have the ability to seriously harm the US with trade like this, which is why countries like mexico and canada back down, arguably some of the most effective at this.
The necessary infrastructure and resources won't have any incentive to come about without this, however. I don't believe there is a gradual way to go about this, in the end.
all i know is having read multiple books about it and reading the original documents plus the wider context of the war. The theory that retards like you have is that Israel did it intentionally to bring in the US to fight Egypt but the Egyptian army was already routed by the time the USS liberty was attacked and the Sinai was captured. The Egypt front was done.
I never said it was iran directly, I said it was iranian sponsored groups. read carefully and try to sound out the words if it's hard to comprehend.
>Israel accidentally kills US soldiers on active duty
The Day of the Rake is upon us. We will burn the Leafs to fuel the Hearth of our Golden Age.
Nothing else to really say right now other than we'll have to wait and see.
That's fair, and again thank you for answering the question. I would posit that the major reason Trump waited until April second to implement these tariffs despite campaigning on them was precisely to give corporations a bit of time to prepare. He also has said to everyone that there will be an adjustment period so people are prepared for the hurt. His supporters appear to get it.
If you are at a trade deficit it is not possible for the retaliatory measures to hurt you mathematically. This already happened with China during the first term. We saw it so I'm not sure how this is still a question. If I give you $5 and you give me $10 the moment we stop trading you are automatically in a better financial situation. That is America's trade situation with the world. Stopping all trade necessarily, mathematically can only increase GDP which is the hill the anti tariff people are dying on.
Or you rip the bandaid off and do the new CEO move and make drastic changes at the start when you have the most momentum. You can disagree with the implementation but people who do things tend to do them and work out the kinks later.
