cite your shit you inbred faggot. I've literally read the original documents. There's zero evidence of this.
Your sources include "books I've read" so please fuck of with this one-sided reddit sources bullshit. The crew that was there says it was deliberate.
Iran hates the US because of Operation Ajax, the US's support for the Shah, their view of the US as imperialistic, and because of severe sanctions. I know it's hard to understand complex things like this unless your political mommy Candace Owens or your political daddy tucker explains this to you carefully but the Iranian regime has always hated the US. They refer to America as the Great Satan and Israel as the Little Satan.
I don't watch Candace or Tucker so enough strawmanning. They hated us long before that. You seem to think name calling is a big deal but I think every country has called us the great Satan that's not a big enough reason to give a shit about some shithole a world away. We only care cuz Israel cares.
nigger you're the one endorsing the people attacking american soldiers because israel bad
When did I endorse them? Child stalker, you need to stop being so mentally ill. I never endorsed what they do, I just don't give a shit about it like the average American
you stupid nigger, if you openly say that it's fine for Iran to have the goals for hurting soldiers and excuse the deaths of soldiers killed by Iranian funding then you inherently weaken the argument against israel for killing US soldiers. Why is it fine for Iran to kill US soldiers now but then cry about Israel being the real enemy for an incident that happened years ago
Iran is openly hostile and has never worked closely or been an ally or whatever word trickery you wanna play. Israel has. Of course they're going to chant death to America or have goals of beating its rival nations. Everyone on the planet does this.
literally jewish/israel derangement syndrome. you're willing to let radical islamists kill US soldiers just so israel will presumably suffer somehow
Real question: would you be this emotionally invested if I didn't mention Israeli
Your pedophile looking daddy Ian Carroll was lying, the daily wire isn't going bankrupt
Literally who?

now we know how we got here. thay slow decline.
If this were the point, why tariff every EU good and not just their poultry/other items they have relatively high tariffs on?
they don't tarrif poultry because they banned its import. there is no 1:1 tarriff calculation for that. so 39% is fair.
Whose fault was 2008?
The same people still there, that’s who bro fuck ‘em I hope more jump out windows.
and you'll lose your apartment when the bank holding the loan goes under

You just read that on the internet and repeat it like an NPC.

"The European Commission (EC) has responded to US President Donald Trump’s trade tariffs on EU aluminum and steel imports, which came into effect today, by announcing €26 billion (US$28.3 billion) worth of retaliatory measures that include US agricultural products like poultry, beef, and certain seafood."
Its because Trump started with the tariffs.

you didnt even know us poultry can't be exported to the EU. you know nothing.
 
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.
You seem to have a skill issue with selling things.
 
Unfortunately for you, global economic policy is not built on vibes. Go find proof that you're right and come back to deboonk the guy. Also "I'm" has an apostrophe in it, so try reading a book while you're gone.
This entire tariff stuff was built on "vibes", every person (including Trump) saying that "X country has Y amount" is doing it based on vibes.

tbh I've considered that too about physical gold, it's good as a inflation hedge but kinda shit if society really falls
okay one of those costco little dudes is what, $3k?
go buy a big mac and pay with a three thousand dollar bill, they got change for that right?
now how much better will that go after zombies eat all the jewelers?

I don't have good answers but that has come up as I think about it

Iran literally was aligned with the US when the Shah was in power.

I never endorsed what they do, I just don't give a shit about it like the average American
"I don't give a shit about it" when they are using proxies to kill american soldiers?

Iran is openly hostile and has never worked closely or been an ally
you fucking retard, Iran was pro American during the Shah.
Of course they're going to chant death to America
they literally fund hezbollah's drug smuggling into the US and taught militias in Iraq how to build IEDs to kill Americans soldiers.

Real question: would you be this emotionally invested if I didn't mention Israeli
yes because i hate seeing sad excuses of people like you excuse American soldiers being attacked by a hostile nation that actively is seeking to damage the US. It's the most cucked thing possible.

Literally who?
that's the guy who claimed the daily wire was going bankrupt
 
How hard is to understand the Penguin Land had tariffs placed on it because Trump enacted a 10% minimum tariff on every country, with additional tariffs proportional to their trade surplus with the United States? Penguin Land is an official country, therefore it has tariffs placed on it.

It’s the dumbest “gotcha”.
 
machinery is not a necessity for you, and again, already has evidence that production is opening back up. see above with the reference to paper mills. companies will sometimes need to pay more for a part. that is how trade works.

computer parts are absolutely not a necessity, and again, this is ALREADY BEING ADDRESSED. there are factories opening in the US, spurred on by tariffs.
"Machinery is not a necessity for you"
oh god

People have been arguing about this money and wealth stuff since before The Wealth of Nations by Adam Smith. It seems unsolvable, since indeed money being a fungible means of exchange and the store of value are in conflict. I think that's what China and North Korea try to do, have 'peoples money' for inside consumer stuff and a state system for outside, but that doesn't work either,

Figure it out and you'll be the richest nobel prize winner ever.
 
All I know is that you can't show any pictures of anywhere in the US that has been transformed like that in 25 years.
that's because the US did this shit as those new building technologies and concepts came into being. you don't see cities transformed from shithole mud huts to massive industrial cities because the US already has plenty of massive industrial cities. china was doing that to ape us, and they did it by cutting corners, costs, and morals wherever necessary, at all times. it will catch up to them quickly, and it's already beginning.
 
“nooooo the line must go up, if it doesn’t go up what will I do with my life” in all seriousness the stock market does shit for the average American and is just a way for a bunch of talentless losers to brag about their lines to compensate for their dicks.
The stock market climbed for years while the Average American suffered.

Fuck that god damn line.

Society never really falls apart completely because humans are biologically social animals. Its why a pure state of Anarchy is impossible. Even in utterly lawless shitholes like Haiti run by cannibal gangs...the cannibal gangs still sort of run things. Sure, your government is now run by a man named Barbeque, but he still runs things to a certain extent and so long as you don't piss him off you won't end up on his grill.

Gold fills a niche in that even the Cannibal gangs like their swag and need to conduct business with rival gangs when they aren't killing each other. And at the end of the day purely barter based economies suck ass. So having a baseline metric for transacting business, be it gold or silver, just inevitably occurs. I rather liked the "Metro's" use of bullets as currency, but in truth Bullets themselves would just be another commodity. A valuable one yes, but not everyone needs bullets all the time. So Gold and Silver would still make more sense, even in that scenario then a bullet based economy.

don't you know line going down will make everything in america more expensive? if it costs a few hundred dollars extra to buy a new machine part, businesses will bankrupt american citizens! food will be trillions by tomorrow morning because businesses can't replace their milking machine, the whole country's about to collapse! this is no laughing matter, line MUST go up.

oh god

Fuck that god damn line.
As long as the fed devalues currency via inflation the stock market will continue to rise in the long run. It can't not rise because it's measured in dollars which are continually increasing in supply.
