Right, that’s it. FIVE GAZILLION PERCENT TARIFF

World war 3 is supposedly going to end humanity because of how good we are at killing each other now so just to be safe we skipped it and went straight to four.

Trump has created a massive opportunity not for Americans but for everyone else.

This is the perfect counterpoint to the idea that knowledge can’t harm you.

A recession is a temporary setback generally around a couple of years. The contraction of the US economy due to lack of trust globally is locked in and will take who knows how long to recover. Of course I could easily be wrong but that’s my layman’s take at least.

It seems to be reviewing pretty poorly on Steam (Civ 7). I was looking forward to it but held off because of that, is it worth checking out? Humankind also seemed to get pretty average reviews.

Fucking hell 🤦

Why do lies just get accepted and repeated. Trump’s tariffs aren’t reciprocal tariffs, they’re just tariffs.

If tariffs aren’t solving all your problems, you’re just not using enough of them.

Never fight a trade war on two fronts against every country simultaneously.

The world economic system includes many places that aren’t the USA and many of them were doing pretty well. That to me would suggest that there’s another problem to blame for the crappy situation people are dealing with in the US. I’m all for rethinking a system to help benefit more people but I really don’t think that’s what’s happening here at all.

I dual boot but I’m on Windows 11 for my windows partition because the fucking thing just upgraded itself one day.

I assume to make line go up

It’s ok everyone they will all be a lot better off once manufacturing comes back to the US, they can make up the difference by working in a local sweatshop.

I’m no economist but I thought inflation was the measure of the cost increase over time not the cause of it.

This game was not on my radar at all but it looks amazing, no brainer for me at this price.

People being incentivised to keep these relationships secret just gives even more leverage to the CCP if they successfully use this as an espionage tactic. I assume that’s what this is meant to guard against but surely it would have the opposite effect wouldn’t it?

It works pretty well on the Steam deck. I’m not sure how powerful the switch 2 is relative to that though.

All the goods that Trump excempts from tarrifs is tipping his hand. If I were one of these countries like Taiwan where semiconductors are exempted, I would apply an export duty equal to the tarrif on other goods. If you want to tarrif me fine but you’re going to have to commit.

Do they show anywhere how they arrived at those numbers for tarrifs to the USA? It says it includes currency manipulation but I have no idea what that is or how it’s calculated.

EDIT: Just saw in another thread it’s literally just trade deficit divided by exports from that country…holy shit.
