Yes. You don't engage with baitposters. They don't care, they just want to piss people off, demoralize those who don't get outraged, and forum slide. They show up in cycles and usually only one at a time. It's transparently obvious what they're doing.
I am a debate poster I debate I respond.

The point of tariffs was to move manufacturing back to America, creating actual jobs instead of relying on the teat of the government.
If the jobs only exist because of tariffs isn't that not just relying on the teat of the government ? If you want people to feel a sense of pride in work why not jsut have employment requirements attached to government housing programs then.

This one always shows up in a pair.
Either he's logging into an alt account to back himself up or he's coordinating in dm's .

You can’t have it both ways. That leverage exists because the dollar is strong and trusted globally — it's the reserve currency. If you weaken the dollar substantially, you lose that leverage.
This simply isnt the case, hence why Ive mentioned two difference sources, Warren buffet, and Hudson Capital. You should read more about this rather than speculate which pieces cant fit together; the only reason the American dollar is overvalued is due to an infinite demand due to reserve status, the simple way to balance the price of the dollar vs other currencies for trading is (SURPRISE!) tariffs (or if youre warren buffet, a market controlled instrument speculated on by investors that function as tariffs)

global neoliberal values masked by some kind of anti government outrage bait. one of the few functions the government should have is to ensure the stability of a nation, external factors, like a country willing to use slave labor to sell your whole enterprise out from under you, is a threat to your internal economy.
 
I wrote this big ass wall of text that goes out of its way to explain why some of the things that are happening can be beneficial for the American people for @Buck Broken Chimp and they just read my last block of text that made fun of them for 30 seconds and replied to that. What a waste of time.
I would ask if you learned any lessons from this, but I can see from your last few posts that you haven't.
 
China has one of the highest home ownership rates in the world and Chinese people love land ownership more then baccarat it's the man form of investing. You are factually incorrect no two ways about it.
China has a zero percent home ownership rate. The CCP owns ALL of the land in China.

The “houses” that Chinese people buy are <70 year leases on commieblock pods (it’s a 70 year lease from the CCP, but the timer starts when the developer gets permission to build, not when the “owner” “buys” their home).
 
You know what those youths would really like TO AFFORD A FUCKING HOUSE
No can do, boomers need their line to go up.
They were gloating about Hollywood dying not too long ago.
>haha sirry Amerilacan. You tariff us we bannu Horrywood firlms from praying ina a china.
Ok?

The Chinese might actually think we're going to die if we don't get their plastic slop.
If China kills Hollywood it'll be the best thing they could do for America.
It's always been that way, when it comes to other nations space accomplishments. I have found a lot of poeple have no idea the Russians sent a lander and have photos from the surface of Venus.
The Russia landing is still insanely impressive even today.
 
I'm up late at night and one of the thoughts in my head is "Where DID that Haitian cat-eating story come from?" I'm sure you'll remember on social media, bots came out of the fucking woodwork to say "Nope never happened!" but like, the denial and dismissal was so lopsided, why did they overreact so much if it was horse shit? Did they ever find the smoking gun related to that story, Haitians eating the cats, or is the evidence too gross?

Afaik locals would literally just talk alongst themselves about seeing it in person. There's at least one phonecall to a PD a local made you can find about a haitian woman/family beating the fuck out of a goose and taking it with them.

Haitians eat domestic pets in Haiti because Haiti is a shithole, so that's the basic origination. Later, with extensive migrants in the US, pet disappearances lead to speculation that Haitians were doing it. There's no smoking gun, and we'll never get actual numbers or confirmation because of the democrats covering up anything to do with migrants. Best we can do is correlate, the best numbers so far being an increase in car accidents, which are a pretty good indicator of the general issues with migrants that lead to increased, and rational, paranoia.

There's videos of it, of shit like cats screaming in pain as the fucking Haitians just chow down on them live. Their subhuman bronze age pseudo-religion says that gives them power or somesuch.

There's loooots of first hand evidence, of people reporting seeing them walking around parks grabbing whatever animals they can and eating them, or finding them in their yards going after their animals, or catching them on security footage after their animals go missing.

The problem is everyone on the left knows damned good and well the Haitians (and other various flavors of Nigger) do that but it conflicts with other things they "know" -- what you were seeing was Cognitive Dissonance. They "knew" two things that couldn't be true at the same time, and the mind reacts in certain semi-predictable ways to that. (This is also why every single trannsexual who isn't accepting of the fact that they are, ultimately, a mentally ill man are BARKING FUCKING NUTS.)

You sure about that ?

This is what he spent on bailouts for farmers in his first trade war with China. Also guess what he has already said he will do it again. He spent 28 billion last time and will have to spend more this time. How does anyone defend this ?

You said it was worth it to beat China, even if that was true guess what ? Trump disagrees.



President Donald Trump moved to ease investor concerns over escalating trade tensions, stating today that the proposed tariff on Chinese imports "won't be anywhere near" the 145% figure previously floated.

Speaking to reporters, Trump clarified, "The tariff on China will come down substantially," and emphasized that he’s not looking to “play hardball” with China.

The comments come amid mounting anxiety in financial markets following Trump’s earlier declaration of “reciprocal” tariffs, which he announced on April 2 and dubbed "Liberation Day." That move rattled global markets and stoked fears of a renewed trade war between the world’s two largest economies.

Trump’s reassurance today sparked a sense of calm in markets, with the stock market rising “nicely,” according to him.


The Trump administration on Tuesday signaled the possibility of cooling trade tensions between the U.S. and China.

Why it matters: Investors are hoping for deals that might roll back the steep tariffs on Chinese goods that are expected to roil the global economy.

Driving the news: President Trump, in an Oval Office news conference, told reporters he did not intend to play hardball with China in making a trade deal.

  • He also indicated that the ultimate tariff on China won't be 145%, though it won't fall all the way to zero, either.
Also I love how you guy said "oh trump cares about the people not stonks" but here he is bragging about the stock market going up.

I never want to hear a Trump supporter complain about wasteful spending ever again. To repeat Trump spent 28 billion on bailouts for his stupid tariff war with China, he got nothing out of China for this and forked over this money. To put this number into perspective.


America spends 10 billion a year on community colleges

25 billion on NASA

20 billion maintaining our nuclear arsenal

that bank bailout that happened that people still complain about ? That was 17-20 billion in loans that the banks had to pay back and the banks have paid the loans back in full with interest. This bailout we are never getting back.

The cash aid to the conflict in estern Europe ? In terms of pure cash not counting weapon donations just cash that is at most 26 billion.

How do any of you defend this ? Trump will do it again watch.

Fun fact china actually has a lower income tax then the USA because up until recent they didn't have enough high income earners to tax but even then how is income tax worst then any other kind of tax ? If your a mises caucus libertarian I get why you don't like it but if you are tariff and trump populist why does it bother you ?

Because I'm American. Fuck taxes, and fuck you too.
