Sure! Imagine you have a big box of toys, but you really like playing with other kids’ toys too. Every day, you trade your toys for theirs. But after a while, you notice you’re giving away more toys than you’re getting back—now you have fewer toys than before! That’s kind of like a trade deficit.

To fix this, you decide that if someone wants one of your toys, they have to pay a small fee. That’s what a tariff is—it makes things from other kids a little more expensive, so maybe they’ll want to trade less and use their own toys instead. The U.S. is doing this with other countries, hoping people buy more American stuff instead of stuff from other places.

But sometimes, other kids don’t like that. They might decide, “Fine! If you’re going to charge me, I’ll charge you too!” Now trading is harder for everyone, and some kids might get upset or stop playing altogether. That’s what’s happening with countries like China, Canada, and Mexico—they’re trying to decide whether to pay the fee, stop trading, or make their own rules.

Meanwhile, people watching (like grown-ups in charge of money) get a little nervous because some toys might cost more now, and it’s hard to guess who will win or lose in the end.
this reeks of generative AI, i know that's the point though. did you write it yourself or have chatgpt spit it out?

Shh, it's OK, you don't have to cope, I'm sure Trump will put the tariffs back on next week for some reason and you can be happy again.
okay but that didn't address anything i actually said. do you care to address that? you said he pussied out, but he has been very clear from the start. reciprocal tariffs. i'm not coping because this is exactly what i said would happen, because this is what he said he was going to do. this is literally 1:1 the exact outcome i expected, even down to the EU and chinks doubling down. browner hands have not replied to me since i was last in the british revolt thread.
 
People in this thread said the tariffs were to bring back manufacturing though?
Check anything you own and see where it’s made. They’re also the biggest danger to any American business since they’ve started directly competing on the consumer market in many key sectors like technology and vehicles and what not. They also have a nasty habit of weaponising their economy to further their agendas like the one China policy.

Everyone else is irrelevant compared to China. And since they also happened to try and fight this one out and Trump, like a true western stateman should, hates China above all else. He’s been itching for a fight as well.
 
He sure looks "light in the loafers."
I have to read the orders, but its always possible that this is a set-up to be first to the appeals courts with favorable rulings. The ACLU and Commie Democrats were always going to challenge these deportations, and obviously hoped to judge shop and put in the fix with their cronies in DC. Well, turnabout is fair play - and if Trump and a favored judge in Texas can frame up the issue properly and get the right precedent set then that shapes the legal battlefield. So I'm with holding judgement, for now.

>Youtube censors conservatives for wrongthink

Worth noting, that guy is at least a year out of date on this one. I don't see it discussed much but youtube was one of the first to ditch censorship and I think they genuinely tried to help trump win for some reason or another.

I can't speak to their reasons for doing so, but at the end of 2023 everything flipped. Content making immigrants look bad not only started being allowed but was being actively pushed by the algorithm. I made new accounts and used vpns to test this, they wanted people to see that shit, and the comment sections are borderline /pol/.

Other things that happened last year:
-Vaush's pedo folder incident went viral
-Hasan and ethan's divorcewent viral
-Critical Drinker, Quartering, Asmongold, etc. have been eating very well
-Helldivers 2 went viral (heckin fashism)
-Criticism of troons started being allowed.
ETc.

We know damn well they have the ability to prevent all of these things if they so choose, and in 2024 they chose not to.
 
People talking about mid-terms when it hasn't even been 6 months into the presidency is wild. Maybe Trump is doing all the wild shit now because he knows retards will forget about it when they actually roll around.
people forget what happened last fucking week, let alone a year and a half prior.
 
All I am saying is this.

Rich people an afford to pay the tariffs, rich people can afford to buy the dip, rich people have payed for houses and won't be homeless.

The working class is the one getting eaten alive by the tarrifs.

Nigga, I need you to learn how to spell tariffs before you come in here arguing either for or against them.

Also, remove the ? and everything after it when linking news articles. Those are tracker parameters.

Only Powell no longer has a choice, because if he lets Trump crash and burn, the Fed Chair will also be allowing the entire financial system collapse!
I have little doubt that the Democratic party will attempt to forcefuly crash the economy with no survivors if that it what it takes to get rid of Trump.

The EU wants to nut up and pretend they're relevant too.

Trade War Best War. I remember Trade Wars 2002 on old WWIV BBSes from my youth.

... The Farms should run a WWIV BBS instance. Complete with a mini forum and all kinds of door games, like LORD. Make people learn to telnet to post, that will keep the newfags out.

I would be okay with Null putting a WWIV BBS behind SSH. I already know half the users of this webzone have passwords like, "Thr0bbing_n!gger_cock", I don't need confirmation of that because I could see them being transmitted unencrypted over the public Internet.

But yes, bring on the Trade Wars: 2002 and Legend Of The Red Dragon. For fuck's sake though, ban scripting. I don't want to deal with all paths to Terra and Stardock being packed with mines and fighters by day 3.
What are the odds that the EU or China try sanctions instead of Tariffs?
That would be phenomenally retarded. I don't think China could make that work, given how dependent on exports they supposedly are. I could see the EU trying to be that stupid, though.

We are all tightening our belts, nigga. That means you gotta cut down on the old Roman coins, pizza, homosexual gladiator movies and fancy deli meats.
My husband and I are willing to forgo looking at sexy men doing manly things for a while, but you will pry our 24-month aged Prosciutto from our cold-dead hands.

Now let us hope this task force starts actually doing stuff instead of simply being a committee that holds some hearings and maybe publishes a report or two.

Prosecuting ATF agents for violations would be a good start. I would love to see gun-grabber state legislators and governors/mayors catch charges, but I don't think the current setup of federal statute or constitutional law would permit such. I might have to settle for watching Bloomberg or the many gun-grabber NGOs he funds catch charges instead.
 
this is very interesting - it's widely believed in the PNW that covid hit here in november 2019 and the vector was Chinese tourism to the casinos

there was a very nasty, very strange bug with a very odd and specific and consistent set of symptoms

I got it then, and I never got official covid, even though I was travelling in close contact with Chinese people right before lockdown 2020 - like I was in planes with Chinamen in Feb 2020. I don't have more anecdata and I'm curious if anyone else does.
More anecdata, my boss got sick with some weird, unknown illness that took him a literal month to get over. It was late 2018, early 2019 from what I remember. Definitely before COVID but close enough that it was really questionable looking back.
 
as i keep explaining to you retards, this isn't a thing


you also have zero context of history. in 1947 Israel was under a weapons embargo from the US, UK, and the UN with the UK also arming and helping the Jordanian army against it. There was literally no worse possible situation for Israel and it survived. Israel is too valuable now for the US to give it up because some retarded zoomers got convinced by groypers that joos are bad. Israel develops cutting edge tech and medicine vs the palestinians who are too retarded to develop anything
I'm teasing you lol trust me this isnt a groyper thing. Nick Fuentes is a gay latino fed with a herd of pet retards they cant accomplish anything significant.

How is Israel too valuable to the US when Saudi Arabia Qatar and the other gulf states become our new best friends?
