Hopefully this doesn't piss off the mods and get me threadbanned but I talked to a bunch of my eurocuck friends about the tarrifs. No surprise that over here the general consensus is "tarrifs bad, amerimutts are shooting themselves in the foot, I'm gonna get rich off of shorting their stocks"

So I ask them - if the tariffs are so bad, then why do we have EVEN HIGHER tarrifs. What's good for the goose is SURELY good for the gander, RIGHT? The way they spin around would break a snake's spine when they try to explain this shit. "That's different! USA took profits from being world leader! They print their own money!" And my personal favorite answer: "I like my tarrifs, they're normal to me"

Once I point out that we could just lower the bad tarrifs and all of this goes away, everyone wins, they move the goalpost so far it's not even worth it

If it wasn't the disdain I gained for my kind over the past couple of months I'd believe this whole shit is astroturfed by the fucking EU so that people don't start asking dangerous questions like "So our government is robbing is fucking blind and we can change that?". But no, there isn't a rainbow reaction big enough to convince me that's the case. Most europoors are brainwashed so much that you people wouldn't believe.

The EU does not have "EVEN HIGHER tariffs" across the board compared to the US, and certainly not to the ludicrous rate of 39% claimed by the Trump administration. You just have to compare the WTO tariff profile for the EU with the one for the USA.

You will see EU tariffs are higher mostly for agricultural and fishing products, as protection of the agriculture and fishing industries has been an historical pillar of the EU construction. You can agree, disagree, this is what it is. In the end, it does not really matter for US exports as the US barely export any agricultural goods to the EU. The US mostly exports to the EU goods that have similar levels of tariffs. Anyway, those tariffs apply to all states and not the USA exclusively.

Not really true considering I like Nintendo and like Trump a lot. But I’m also not a social media obsessed leftist who has to consoom to have purpose in life, so maybe that’s the difference lol.

Is Nintendo your religion like a redditor?

Most europoors are brainwashed so much that you people wouldn't believe.

Most westoids outside of the US are very spoiled and simultaneously believe that the US is this awful hellscape where there’s mass death and starvation, but also that it owes them an infinite amount of money and resources for trivial bullshit.

A majority of Nintendies I've met are leftists. To be a bottom bitch for a company that is trigger happy on copyright and having a stranglehold over its properties doesn't exactly smell like being virtuous to me.

A lot of them are arrested development types who are mentally stuck at 10 years old and haven’t ever moved past the things they found fun as a kid.

You’ll also see a lot of them complain about Nintendo being a predatory and shitty company and then turn around and buy Nintendo’s shit because it’s easier than emulating it.

We'll be in a great depression by next year. No way this shit passes over in a few weeks.

you’re such a faggot. I’ve blackpilled before ITT but I’m genuinely convinced that you just want to be miserable all the time.

until it isn't what it isn't. We aren't happy with the deal. The deal is now over. capisce?

And Trump gets cucked by activist judges yet again.

Unless the Judge intends to personally purchase plane tickets for deported illegals, he has no power to actually enforce this asinine ruling.

Are you going to conscript US citizens to turn West Virginia into a rice field and reinstate slavery so that you can undercut the chinks on the price of rice by $0.01 to own the eurocucks?

The stock market is literally the most accessible way to obtain an appreciating asset.

The stock market and real estate are the only ways normal people can keep up with inflation. Once you back out the inflation, your gains are minimal at best.

We are closely approaching levels of Andrew Jackson previously thought impossible. These judges are going to need hope their bailiffs are down to flying to El Salvador.

 

[I'mma real anime gurl]

How long until Trump realizes that fucking with the cattle's bread and circuses is the quickest way to lose everyone's support?

Surely Trump realizes that heading a government program to prop up a whore who slept with five guys will not make him popular. Surely allowing a Armenian grifter to impose DEI might be a bad idea for the Trump administration. Wait Trump didn't even do all of that shit? Oh well I think that whoever meddles with games would be in deep trouble either way.

In capitalism people actually don't get conscripted

What about stagflation. periods with inflation, but no market growth? What about periods of low inflation, yet high stock market returns?

A guy sees a girl sitting alone at the bar and sits next to her. He buys her a drink and then asks "Would you sleep with me for a million dollars?" She blushes, thinks about it for a while and then admits she would. He presses, "What about $20?" She's suddenly furious and almost slaps him. "What kind of girl do you think I am?" He replies coolly without missing a beat, "We've already established that. Now we're just negotiating the price."

Once all this tariff business has shaken out and all the foreigners have been brought to heel, it's going to be very clear who's going to fuck who. The only thing left will be negotiating terms.

Your returns will be a lot better if you tend to buy assets up at times like this, when blood is in the street and libs are wailing. This isn't financial advice though.

I still think people who put apostrophes in plurals should stop doing that shit.

oh my bad.

 

[The Big A]

Ok here is my genuine question about the tariffs plan, what exactly is stopping these companies from just hunkering down until their term end of trumps term and banking on the US population voting blue because they’re pissed at the republicans for making shit more expensive in the short term.

Biden not only kept, but expanded the tariffs from Trump 1. If someone was hunkering down since the initial 2017 tariffs, they'd currently be waiting until 2029 for them to go away.

Super Mario Bros 3 would have cost $120 adjusted for inflation.
It's still the greatest video game of all time.

Yes they do. They have infinite tariffs on American beef and chicken, for example.

Just because they say that their regulations are for “safety” instead of for trade reasons doesn’t make that true.
