The Economic Collapse of 2025 - Are you tired of winning yet?

tariffs are an economic tool that countries often use to protect certain domestic industries and things like that, and are often used in conjunction with other economic measures
smearing a bunch of tariffs over everything is retarded and consistently blows up in the face of whoever implements them throughout history
But by all means, keep clapping for the senile retard if you want the democrats to control the government for the next 40 years when it inevitability blows up in trumps face as typically happens.
Again, you didn't answer my question.

Why is America forbidden being assertive with its own trade interests? Why must it accept whatever economic buttfucking is demanded from anyone who shows up?
So, America can go fuck itself for its hypocrisy.
Oh, look, another shitsplat vassal state with delusions of parity with the US.

Uncle Sam has spoiled his fair-weather "allies" rotten. It's high time you were reminded who is in charge. You better bend down and suck our star-spangled ballsacks, before you become a colonial possession of all the Chinamen you're importing.

Especially as Trump does his usual shtick of frightening other countries to start talks with them on the backfoot.

Going with a blanket tariff is also more logical as trying to calculate anything beyond that will take years and will be immediately reversed by the next guy.
 
The tariff situation is pretty interesting because it has exposed that many countries depend on the United States willing to be the sucker in every transaction we make with them. Since America is still the world’s largest economy, it’ll ultimately force many of these nations to the table to work out more fair and equitable trading deals. Of course, this all assumes the current and future administrations won’t cuck out and will want to revert back to “free” trade again.
One of the bonuses, or maybe desired effects, is that India and China are no longer the cheapest place to deal and conduct trade with. With Europe being hit with 20% and the UK only taking a hit of 10% with no reciprocal - or at least, no outlandishly reciprocal tariffs, it makes US and UK trading partners the strongest in the world, followed by the EU, while shutting out the Indians and Chinese.

When the economy does crater, the west will be insulated and able to look after itself, between itself. America may well go full isolationist - something I do want to happen for the good of America and the west, but it can rely on UK/Europe to assist it with any products not easily available, or those that are made better abroad. That's not a dig at America, German and Japanese cars, depending on what you fancy, are built 'better' than American cars - unless of course they're muscle cars, then obviously America takes the winning position on them. That's just one example.

Go shove your head up your arse. My country has suffered because of American's delusions of grandeur. We had to suffer MacArthur's being a useless cunt during ww2, and refusing needed logistics. Americans refused to listen to our approach to counter insurgency during Vietnam, and completely ignored our support during both gulf wars. So go fuck yourself., you useless sack of shit.
 
People freaking out over a stock market dip, news at 11.
I'm seeing TONS of posts like this.

People don't understand how little cash most bank branches have on hand. Unless that particular branch serves cash-intensive business customers, they will only have a couple of days worth of branch-average withdrawal cash.

It's not that unusual for a branch to run low enough on cash that they need to limit customers to X amount until they get another cash shipment. They have to special order larger cash shipments to cover cash-heavy holidays a few times a year. Any strange disruption that causes more cash withdrawals, like a hurricane turning towards the area, causes the branches to run out of cash fast.

Maybe this guy's bank actually ran out of cash, but I bet it was more like, "I'm sorry, but we can only give out a maximum of 200 dollars today per customer due to unexpected cash demand." It happens more often than it should, since modern banks are cheap assholes. It doesn't mean the economic sky is falling.
 
Well this has aged well.

And what do companies use to build factories? Capital. And what has the stock market erased in the last month? Several Trillion. Globally, teams of Trillions.

You know, the stuff you go to a bank and say "we've got "x" number of shares Wirth "x" and now they are worth trillions less. Not a great way to institute change.

But you know, the right say it's just merely a coincidence that the markets globally tank exactly when Trump commences a genuine trade war. There is nothing to like here.

You retards surrendered your guns to your government. You are a country of cucked niggercattle whose opinions do not matter. Your whole continent is just Britain's most convenient prison.

You also seem to care about this a lot, which is pretty funny.

There's really no scenario in which America does not win here. Even if we lose, we'll be the last to lose, and we'll probably find a pretty good source of revenue in shoveling the starved corpses of the 200+ countries that thought they could somehow function in the modern world without America.

I mean what are you gonna do, shoot me?

Assuming Trump isn't just planning to revert those tariffs in the near-future, which would be a big disappointment, he'll likely fund it with subsidies, and then we can finally live in the real non-communist free market capitalist economy that has never been tried.
 
Canada is going full steam on "nothing American", to the point of yeeting booze and strawberries.
They should start with "nothing Indian/Filipino." And they say America is the cradle of gay civic nationalism.
Frankly, bringing back manufacturing would be a huge boon, it'd be completely worth any economy turbulence from the Tariffs.
I agree, but I doubt this is Trump's real plan.
 
The problem ultimately with hoping tariffs will onshore manufacturing is that it is difficult to actually do that. The red tape from obstinate bureaucrats, zero growth advocates who have infested various council and supervisory boards, NIMBY retards, etc. I’ve seen shit play out where some smug cunt on a water resources board held up a project for six months because she didn’t want to build a water pipe for a couple blocks because it was near a park. There has not been any measures to stop that kind of bullshit so all you’re going to get is a bunch of announcements about investment into manufacturing but it’ll be 5-10 years before anyone sticks a shovel into the ground if it ever happens.
