TOTAL WEEB DEATH and TOTAL GEEK/NERD/MANCHILD DEATH

All new pre-orders from AmiAmi, GoodSmile Company, HobbyLink Japan and even Big Bad Toy Store have issued Tarrif hike warning from China.

If you pre-ordered a 1/7 Statue at $113 with $18 shipped. Your figure could be between 40% - $158.20 to 125% - $254.25 plus $18 shipping.
I don't understand why some corpos write these long-ass documents in emails that actually cause more confusion than they need to.

Here's how the Big Bad Toy Store owner should have done his email:
*keep first paragraph*

Due to the recent tariffs, we're going to have to raise the prices on our products that come from any newly-tariffed country. I hate how I have to raise prices on all of you, and I want you to know that the moment the tariffs go away, we will readjust accordingly. To be as transparent as possible, we're adding a section on your receipt so you can check how much of the cost is due to the tariffs.

*keep last paragraph*
It only takes 1 paragraph to concisely explain the situation. You don't need 8 paragraphs bloviating about how tariffs are a "tax on the consumer" and whatnot.
 
Why the hell can't they just make them in Japan (better yet A M E R I C A)? These are typically small production figures and models, with the exception of models/figures that are making gundam numbers.
Ma. K. models basically come in waves of like 3 models for half a year for example. Coomers state side literally 3D print their own figures, so it is not like an official company can't easily produced something well in their own country.
Better yet, just don't ever make them.

all people have to do is wait. Beleive it or not I prefer too eat actual food, I cant eat and survive off my 3rd party transformer slop. People will stop buying since it isnt a necessity. Prices will be lowered eventually since no one will buy and corporation will eat the cost.
 
So I flipped my bitch switch at a neighbor yesterday. It actually felt good to do so lol

The neighbor brought up the tariffs and then told me with a straight face, "And I read on Facebook that Russia is getting 0% tariffs! Just further proof that Trump is in bed with Putin, what else is new?"

I told the neighbor, "Russia has sanctions, dumbass." And yes, I actually called her a dumbass. The conversation ended civilly but awkwardly.

Oh well, guess I burned that bridge. No fucks given anymore. :story:
And everybody clapped
 
Why are you carrying water for China? No one here is saying that Wall street doesn't share some blame. China has done everything in their power to reduce Americas manufacturing, probably including bribing our politicians. So Fuck Wall Street and China too.
It's extra funny because the majority of the thread for the past few days has been "Fuck yeah line go down FUCK WALL STREET MAGA" because everyone here hates wall street and the issue is complicated enough it can't be boiled down to one easy black-or-white depiction.

Doesn't stop the shills from trying, though.

I saw the BBTS email, fortunately I only buy Gundam kits that are exclusively manufactured in Japan.

Lol, I just realized that this is also probably going to indirectly solve the issue that Bandai has had lately with the chinks bootlegging every desirable kit for like <30% MSRP.

125% tariff + no de minimis = get fucked, Chang.

Honestly, after seeing the video of Jeffrey Spaide killing his neighbors (literally named the Goys), I avoid any and all arguments with neighbors.

That's fair.

I just don't give a crap anymore though, lol. I said hi to this neighbor outside while on a walk as we crossed paths, we said pleasantries and then she went off on this "Ma'am, this is a Wendy's" rant and so I responded accordingly.

I remember the days where if you saw political posts from someone online, that didn't reflect how they acted IRL. The lines have blurred and people just think they can vomit out every single thought that comes to their mind like a Facebook status or a tweet or something these days.
 
Retard, you claimed 'not building weapons' meant 'no nuclear progress of any kind.
I challenged you to quote me saying the equivalent of "no nuclear progress of any kind". And you chose this quote:
We continue to assess Iran is not building a nuclear weapon and that Khamenei has not reauthorized the nuclear weapons program he suspended in 2003, though pressure has probably built on him to do so.
That is a quote from the 2025 DNI report.
You adopted the position.
Where? Quote me.

Getting beyond the idea you think my quoting a government report automatically makes me agree with it, where in that quote does it say "no nuclear progress of any kind"? I doesn't say that.

You forgot to answer these:
Anything in particular you think I am reading poorly?
Right here-
You can't build a weapon, until you have parts. Strange how you're not posting: "We continue to assess Iran is not in the process of refining fissile grade materiel."
I specifically agreed with your first sentence already. And I addressed your assinine second part at length. Any specific point you want to make; other than "you should have posted made-up quotes".
Do you have any evidence that Iran is refining fissile grade material?
and here-
You could even just Google it.

Your "just google it" link specifically states the uranium is "enriched up to 60%". This is below fissile grade uranium to build a nuclear bomb with. Your link has no evidence Iran is refining their fissile uranium to weapon's grade.
The topic is if Iran has nuclear weapons, not if Iran could get them in the future.
Yeah, that's why they want to destroy the labs.
Does Iran HAVE nuclear weapons. You have posted zero proof that they do.
I reiterate
You're bad at reading.
Says the retard who can't format a post.

As I pointed out before, it's enough for Iran to be able to break out. Iran may actually benefit from being on the edge of breaking out because then it didn't cross a line and they can claim they're not going to do anything
