Live updates: Trump announces sweeping tariffs
-
No, it's at 1.105$/€.
You looked at €/$ instead

yeah, guess it's just push back to reddit enshitification. Bots and losers steal comments, people upvote the laziest shit, it all becomes shit as you chuckle out the door. I think it was after seeing your profile and just thinking you're a comment stealing agenda-troll that encouraged me to call you out.
Thank you for reinforcing that it was a correct decision and I shouldn't just let people like you treat other people like shit then actively shit on them some more instead of apologizing or even having one ounce of humility as a human being. But please continue virtue signaling some more in your profile about how radical and righteous you are.

Putting on my best swiss cheese brain, maybe they are treating it 'like a business' and trying to do debt to income ratio? So our deficit is the debt then they look at tariffs on the imported goods as the income.

Trump announces "Things aren't expensive enough."

It's like the USA won the Cold War and found themselves with nowhere left to go, exhausted. The state became less relevant by the year as it was intended by their neoliberalism, and greed is always everywhere taking over as many spaces as possible, it's just its nature. But an ever disappearing government is just a milking cow, why it even exist if it's been taken by the greedy? In this scenario, instead of being hopeful about its mere existence, because it should be one way for the people to regain power, it is just another way to take more wealth from the people, and an instrument to control them.
My point was that Trump, Trump-Putin, are just a consequence. The USA government showed critical weaknesses and they are being exploited. At the same time, you point it out well, the government found weaknesses of society to exploit. Americans should exploit them too, usually it's done politically, but both of the American parties are basically the same (I know politically involved individuals do hate this statement, but from outside of the USA it's very clear); it's time for the people to regain power, and they will, this tariffs craze is gonna make them have to fight back.

and we all know now who is to blame.
Central banks?

It's not the corporations, it's the billionaires that run them. Every time Trump does something that makes the stock market drop, they get richer by scooping up more for less. Than sell them when Trump says "Just kidding" and the stock market rises again.
Not to mention that all of their companies get to raise prices and blame "tariffs" in order to increase their profit margin.
It's the entire reason they paid to get him into the white house.

Admitting your country has problems is "woke", though. /s
-
Not sure about that part.
-
And the other countries that have sanctions but still got tariffs?
-
In essence this policy primarily imposes taxes on businesses, severily reduced the wealth of the billionaires, properties this forum often applauds. Funny how suddenly it's not liked.
US politics really is like picking a favourite sports team

Me, checking what the damage is: oh good, my European defence stocks went up 2 to 4 percent today while the American stocks are tanking, happy days!
Me, after thinking on it a bit longer: oh God, my European defence stocks went up while the world economy is taking a hit, better get ready for whatever's coming

Because we all know these good-natured corporations will bear the brunt of this in order to keep prices the same for US consumers.
Actually, aren’t you forgetting that Trump said the foreign countries will be the ones paying these tariffs? Take care not to step out of line with the regime.

No! Your football team bad, mine good!
