Well yes, but it just takes one guy. I'm also not saying it would fix much of anything. But I can definitely go see a big uptick in political violence.
Fair point and I kind of agree about the political violence. Things are definitely gonna heat up, but too many people are complacent, okay with how things are going because of kool-aid, and those that WOULD try something won't get far since no way will the billionaires fuck it up at the last second by letting anyone get close. Not to mention the 100% control of all the messaging avenues.
I'm sitting and listening to a couple retirees discussing tariffs. I ain't saying shit but holy fuck. It's like listening to my 4 year old use a lot of big grown up words all incorrectly. There is a LOT of confusion with this age group. I hear them quoting, doubtfully, about short term pain, market corrections, etc. Don't trust your lyin' eyes, folks! Nothing to see here!
I’m sure they won’t notice the 105% tariffs on Chinese imports when they next go to Walmart or Dollar Store to buy stuff.
And who the fuck picks a fight with China, and calls them peasants… twice? I’m sure they’ll just laugh and brush that off… not call your loans or double down or anything.
That's what they were talking about specifically. That's where the doubt is creeping in. Like oh fuck.... They're doing it to us now. But it's going to be ok because *insert talking points here.* They didn't sound so sure.
Sounds like they’re about to get an education around just how much shit of theirs/ours China makes. It reminds me of that story where a town was fucking with a big local company, downplaying their impact on the local economy, so they paid everyone in the company with $2 bills next pay period. $2 bills were EVERYWHERE, flooding the local businesses, and the point was made. I’m curious to see what the $2 bill equivalent is going to be here.
Whiny bitch fight between Musk and Navarro. https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/musk-top-trump-adviser-feud-tariffs-dumber-sack/story?id=120597806 I legit wish/hope aliens are real and pull an Independence Day on us because this is just getting fucking pathetic and embarrassing.
Trump just announced we will soon be putting tariffs on pharmaceuticals. I hope seniors on fixed incomes enjoy a massive price hike in their generic medications.
Probably some, but mostly investment banks. They never stopped their MBS and CDO bullshit, they just further hedged with bonds. China would fuck themselves severely by mass-dumping US Treasury bonds.
I'd be concerned about any price increase in pharmaceuticals, as the Ginger Nut and Musk Stick are rapidly turning the US into the most fucked country in the world the last thing you need is to be unable to afford contraceptives.

They’re banning abortion in a country where it should be made mandatory for at least half of the people there.
Also China calls his bluff and ups their own tariffs to 84%. Shocking how someone so obsessed with "tv optics" has no understanding of "face" and how important that is in Chinese culture.
They've also killed the supply of specialized metals to the US. One of them is a key ingredient in lithium batteries that has no US supply. There's a reason Elon is freaking out about the tariffs. Multiple reasons even.
