Has anyone else been getting tariff shit spammed in any of their social media feeds? I keep getting a ton of tariff videos made by buckbroken libshits in my YouTube recommendations, and the creators are either literally who's or people I recognize and are the last people who should be sharing their political opinions. It's fucking annoying.
This is happening to me as well. There must be a little astroturfing money left. All I know is prices are going down in my area.
lil' Ben trying to act like he wasn't kvetching, just deport him, he's not worth it anymore:
He must have had a stroke when Netanyahu agreed 100% with Trump's trade policy.
To be fair to Shapiro, his line has consistently been that he doesn't see tariffs as a feasible long-term economic policy. He is a staunch free trade guy and sees these tariffs as a diplomatic bargaining ship. His concern was always that Trump might see tariffs as a long-term economic tool.
 
He didn’t take disrespect lying down, he went on and made himself some waifus and got revenge by making white people. Praise our father Yakub.
Wait, Yakub made the whites?

Ya know, maybe I was harsh on those "Not all black people" types. Quality product, moon cricket.
 
I work a production job and it's not nearly as bad as people make it out to be. I'm making nearly three times minimum wage and I have a desirable working schedule. Manufacturing will never be entirely automated and will always need people to oversee the work the machines do. It's not the most luxurious work but it's certainly more solid than the retail and warehousing hellscapes people are landing in.
When I was working manufacturing, I considered sticking with it and getting into the automation side of things. There will always be robotic arms grabbing things, suction cups that need maintenance, and (most fun of all) new projects to add automation to machines that were originally pretty manual.

There will always be a need for someone to make the stupid robots work properly. It's like the old "learn how to code" chestnut that gets tossed around, only you're building things that have real value rather than cool code projects that you probably won't get paid for unless you go to die slowly at some FAANG job.
 
China has been the only thing holding Hollywood back from having full-black casts and gay romance in every movie. We'll see how this plays out.
Complete financial collapse is what will happen. China is the only thing keeping Hollywood solvent right now. The costs are so inflated for everything Hollywood that it's virtually impossible to keep a movie profitable without China's help. Americans aren't showing up for movies that blow. This will only escalate that. The damage would be absolutely tremendous and Hollywood might not recover this time.
 
lmao.....EU is so fucked....that's not happening and trump knows it. EU either buys expensive Americans shale oil and LNG or cheap Russian gas & concede Ukraine completely.

And if they take American energy, say good bye to all industries relying on cheap energy...


There is no way out of this...

Are you telling me we could be in the timeline that retvrns to tradition with budgets sliced in half or less? I might actually bother watching TV again!
 
kids cant do that shit anymore thanks to woke
It’s more threats of lawsuits from black women and activist lawyers. Seriously black women love doing those gay lawsuits where the city has to get rid of monkey bars or tire swings because their kid was fucking around and broke a leg.

Thank you chinks.
 
...And what you're describing in that second quoted section is called entrapment...
I always thought those YouTube videos with bait cars they could remotely cut the engines on were really funny. They even had cameras in the cars so you could see the suspect bouncing around and panicking inside the car when 4 or more police vehicles materialize around the corner. Maybe it's entrapment, but entrapment can be really entertaining.

China has been fucking with Hollywood for over a decade. The game is, they tell Hollywood people “hey we’re communist so you can’t make movies all like ‘whoa freedom cool’”

Then Hollywood says “oh, I get it. China likes woke stuff” and they make a whole marvel movie with a main character that’s Chinese, avoids any western moral theme, and features diversity..

Then China says “oh cool but we can’t show it in our theaters, because it’s contrary to our values”
 
Hollywood as a final fuck you should make a Rape of Nanking movie but it stars all dudes who look like Will Smith and the entire plot is about how the oppressed BIPOC will smith Kapanese were fighting xenophobia and racism.

Also they should have a scene where Bruce Willis comes out for a second as a Japanese General and screams “昆虫はオンラインビデオゲームで不正行為をしてはならない!!” Before bayoneting a baby.

They'll change their tune eventually. Shoestring budget movies have blown up throughout history; you don't actually need all that capital to make good films, and it's mostly squandered in the hands of the current retards in charge. Only takes a Clerks or a Blair Witch Project to remind people how many X's a movie can make back when retards aren't the ones in charge.

So you're saying that China is doing us a favor.
 
... Am I missing a reference here? Cause that sounds familiar. Did that happen during the summer of love? Cause if so they sure as shit memory holed that stuff real fucking quick.
You don't remember? They accused Trump of ordering secret service to use tear gas on the poor baby protestors so that he could have a photo op in front of the partially burned church the next day. Turns out it was DC Metro police who dispersed the crowd, under orders from Bowser. Anyway, these people don't deserve human consideration. Fuck jurnos etc.
