It's going to cut pretty deep for companies that operate on a very slim profit margin just to make their brand known. This is a 101 step in starting any small business (and growing it), and yes I learned everything I'm saying from that Gamer Nexus video linked earlier. The tariffs cause problems to domestic companies. If I wasn't convinced a trade war will sooner cause a resurgence in cannibalism and domestic unrest in China, I'd probably be suggesting a softer rollout of Trump's tariffs than "everything all at once."
We are an American company buying products from other American companies. Most of the parts used to make those American products are sourced from outside of America.
Because the tarrifs are temporary. They can eat the costs for a bit to retain their customers, or they can raise the price immediately and lose current and potential customers to other competitors. If it was a permanent change, then yes, the last one to raise prices will probably lose the most, but that's not the case here.
Any job that requires two-thirds of Congress to agree on literally anything is basically guaranteed for life. Even if you were to magically get two-thirds of one party in, there are so many slimy turncoats that you'd still be hard-pressed to get a conviction.
I don’t think the Xitter people realize how fucking retarded this makes them sound. Oh no super scary anti-algorithm word while I’m speaking to adults. I better not say it, I’ll just make it look like I said it instead.
The tariffs are temporary, but that doesn't mean companies can endure exponential losses until the trade war ends. The line can only go down for so long before your company just doesn't exist anymore. This is true for both the United States and China, but China is not aggressively tariffing other potential trade partners. There needs to be valid incentive for these countries to not simply step up as China's new paypig. They can't purchase as much as the States (they might not be able to purchase much more than they already do, in many cases) but that's still a softer cushion for China to land on than this current gutting of American companies through tariffs.
China is WAY ahead of western world in the context of fertility rate. It's population is absolutely vapid due to decades of cultural destruction by the commie party. They already hit rock bottom.
You can still build a sub $400 system that will play games 1080p low settings. Not all of us need 4KRTXONSUPERFLOOPTYMEGAHIGH settings to enjoy games.
The reins of the world will be passed to whatever country successfully navigates clown world without experiencing a total demographic collapse. South Korea and Japan already tapped out (sorry K-Pop and Japanese cartoon fans), China is trying to join them by going from widespread infanticide of girls to creating a cyberpunk-esque dystopian nightmare society that nobody wants to live in.
My mindset that has gotten me this far:
China has double the birth rate compared to coom Korea and just 0.2-0.3 off USA fgt
The nips are not gone. So long as mass importation of niggers doesn't occur like it's happening here and in Europe, they will be fine. Europe and America only have decent birth rates because of the inclusion of the shitskins that have been invading. Factor that out, and the numbers will be a lot closer to the nips. The gooks are completely fucked though, I'll give you that. Not sure how the Norks are doing.
And if you're new enough to the space to be building a first computer for $400, odds are you don't own the best games of the last 20 years, the vast majority of which will be regularly available for less than ten bucks, and will run well above low settings on that modern budget rig. Todays budget used hardware was high end four years ago, and beyond the market entirely eight years ago. And with the relative plateau that graphics have seen, those games from eight years ago look nearly as good as what you're getting today anyway.
