So now that China has implemented 84% tariffs in response, how high will our own tariffs go? 200%? 400%?

God I hope so.

 

[Blitzsneed]

No, yeah, I get it. I referenced the speech and debate clause mockingly, cause we know some retards are going to insist this is an impeachable offense. I think more often the disclaimer is made on social media platforms because they’re afraid of being demonetized or algorithmically suppressed, also, because I can’t recall any recent trials on the subject

Also, make Germany great again??

These are things, which were put in by the CDU. You know, a party lead by someone that is a Munchhausen on steroids.
About the list:
>lol
>lmao
>does literally nothing
>moving significant tax raises for a later date (many people outside of germany missed or don't know about how the "Schuldenbremse" was circumvented, the state took massive debts)
>they will cuck out as soon the ecofacists scream loud enough
What was not mentioned:
>massive increase in budgets for government organizations specializing in "snitching on dissidents" (that means the jailing of citizens for "hate speech" will be a lot worse than it is now)
>dude weed lmao still legal (for whatever reason)
>more money for the fight against "right-wing extremism" and "enemies of the constitution" -> read: people we don't like and who laugh at us (FYI, the "Grundgesetz" is a provisional constitution since 1949, not a real one like Americans have)

Don't believe what """journalists""" tell you.

China is reportedly censoring mentions of the term 104% on their social media.

God I hope so.

You know I don’t think I’ve ever seen a country panic so much in such a short period of time.

Spoiler: black lesbo with extra steps

Setting aside agendas, Audrey Hale was primarily a retard who suffered from the worst possible fate a female could: lack of attention.

She got a crush on a black teammate from middle school basketball because the black girl defended her from a bully. The black girl basketball player was the most masculine person in her life to show anything that could be misconstrued as affection, scrambling her retarded brain.

This black girl got a boyfriend in highschool and this destroyed Audrey Hale’s life in her own mind.

All of the ideology is downstream from these key events. It was her justifying her feelings retroactively

You are really brain dead if sheboons get you feeling fuzzy.
It went truly downhill from there.
Reading that self-hating bullshit will burn anyone brains cells, be warned.

 

[Overly Serious]

What if it was destroyed by Chinese separatist completely unrelated to the trade war? How about if it's hit by a stealth attack with no proof we are involved?

You are making the same mistake that Washington people make, which is to think there's always some higher authority that must be convinced and from which consequences come. There isn't. If China decides (rightly in this hypothetical) that the USA is to blame for the disaster, that's it.

I worry that many in the West are so used to everything being about proving who is right or wrong, from their first days at school, that they're unprepared for situations where it doesn't matter.

 

[Fuck Bankers]

This isn't common in the US.

Gain-of-function research has its place and it's important to know how to do it if the situation calls for it, but it's not something we should do normally, and if it's illegal in highly-developed Western countries for being too dangerous then don't fucking do it in China where people lie and cheat as a matter of course.

I'd rather have dangerous research done in Alaska or somewhere far away from people, and completely run by Americans. Rather than the one of the only places more corrupt than America. With Millions of people crammed into cities, to boot. Whoever thought that doing this kind of research in China was a good idea is fucking retarded.

Without Trump enacting tariffs we wouldn't get these seethe posts off of reddit. Total 401k death.

Rmember when we told people to not invest lightly in the stock market, because the market is volatile? I think about thar everytime I hear the "X in the stock market is RUINING retirement funds!!!" like during the gamestop days.

Like, nigga, isn't that your fault? You should have diversified into some safer, but lower paying investments but instead you put everything onto the holy line. I really hope this person is one of those "THE RICH PEOPLE ARE EVIL REVOLUTION NOW" commies because that would be too fucking funny.

That’s why I’m convinced China bought off people. Remember, we also found out they essentially controlled the WHO.

And it’s not just about having a place to do research without oversight. We TAUGHT THEM SERIAL PASSAGE.

@xXthrowawayaccountXx
Here’s a thought experiment. What would the affect of Trump’s tariffs be on the market if nobody sold? What’s the mechanism to adjust value outside of supply and demand?

I asked grok to make sure:

If absolutely no one bought or sold stocks for a month—meaning zero trading activity—stock prices as reflected on exchanges would technically remain frozen at their last traded values. Prices only update when transactions occur, so without trades, the ticker wouldn’t move in real-time.

How fucking stupid is it, when you think about it? It’s a market that doesn’t do anything until perception convinces people to do it to themselves

 

[Dragged Into Sunlight]

Can't wait for a blue wave that lasts decades because instead of just lowering the barriers to entry in the US economy, Trump went on a full retard war with the world economy.

these people don’t want a revolution they just want to larp as a revolutionary.

 

[Jace on ice]

How long do we have before some random judge in Berkeley orders Trump to rescind the tarrifs?

 

[Not Really Here]

How do you support both drastic economic interventionism on the national economy, and also be against Central Planning?, because right now, what Trump is doing isn't exactly "free market" economics.

I refuse to use the Lord's name in vain/repeatx3

National security demands we secure our supply lines(see: Covid economic disruption) as we are still dealing with the aftershocks(those are the random holes on store shelves) of Xi's Zero Covid policy on our supply chain. Control of international trade isn't classed as part of the domestic economy, and never has been. It effects the domestic economy as a second order effect, not a primary one.

National tactical strategy in international trade, has never been "Central Planning" in the economic sense.

I expect the government doing this to not be retarded and make this worse for every one of us, you can't just pray everything works out in the end.

Yeah, that's why we're not going to tell the sharks how to do it, when they already did it(see: US markets fluctuations this week).

 

[Meat Target]

That is America's worst-kept secret. Senator Mark Kelly's company literally received investment from Tencent.

 

[Dragged Into Sunlight]

I wish Michael Crichton was still alive to see this unfold and comment on it. He would’ve made a lot of enemies lol.

It's probably bes t that Crichton died when he did because he would have been ultra mega cancelled in current year, He was already pissing people off for calling out climate change back in the mid 2000s

Does anyone have a link to the full manifesto (sick pleasure of mine)? I can't find it anywhere.

 

[Suburban Bastard]

Xi is truly retarded. I don’t understand the rationality of doubling down against the very country you export model relies on aside from his thinking process operating on nationalist sentiment instead of logic.

The black basketball American was the person she last Facebook messaged before going toddler hunting. All of this could’ve been avoided if one selfish person somewhere could’ve given her just a taste of the dick

This person was just crazy. Have you seen my show? I get rejected all the time, but it never made me troon out.

Don't believe what """journalists""" tell you.

I would believe literally anyone in this thread before I believed any "journalist." The profession has been taken over by communists.

China is reportedly censoring mentions of the term 104% on their social media.

Please provide evidence of this and archive it - not that I doubt you, but I want to see it and laugh at it.

Lyme Disease and Plum Island

This is correct, but I referenced the most recent major biosecurity leak. I was not saying that there haven't been massive fuck-ups by the US, but rather that they're increasingly rare. Before that, the most major and serious public fuck-ups were the anthrax scares, which were the result of domestic terrorism rather than a simple leak. Bruce Edwards Ivins was mad that his research funding got cut. God knows what Fauci would have done had he not gotten his little China lab...

Lyme Disease is a bitch, but you really only get it if you're an idiot and don't check for ticks. If you remove a tick within 24 hours and don't do something retarded like try to light the thing on fire, you won't get Lyme Disease. I know this from getting countless ticks and never contracting Lyme Disease.

I'd rather have dangerous research done in Alaska or somewhere far away from people, and completely run by Americans. Rather than the one of the only places more corrupt than America. With Millions of people crammed into cities, to boot. Whoever thought that doing this kind of research in China was a good idea is fucking retarded.

I agree with this 100%.

The biggest mystery for me was the videos out of China of people falling over dead in the streets. I suspect they were fake but why? The other possibility is that it actually was really deadly but that ends up for selection and mutation towards a less deadly strain very quickly. Perhaps the chings took a bullet for us by dying from the deadly mutations too quickly to spread the particularly deadly strains. If this was the case a major concern would be that China likely has samples of that variant and may be replicating large stockpiles of it.
