    Because our politicians are corporation whores too. Or a corporation pimp going politician.

    Marie Antoinette Merz is a great example... I quote: If people do not have enough money when retired, they should buy shares...

      I'll believe it when I see it lol. Trump tariff threats just sound like whining at this point because he doesn't have the balls to actually follow through.

        Naw, I'm not giving Trump a cent more than he deserves. He is as good of a troll as anyone before 4chan could get, but he has nothing else going for him.

        I am more concerned about the background service. Like who were the ones that composed the newest sandwich bill? I feel if we get caught up in just the emotional part (he is trolling the whole world, after all), we won't see the actual harm being caused behind the scenes.

        It feels that even this proposal is only there to distract from the actual harm being caused.

        It's almost like the qanons, maga crazies etc are correct when they think there is a "cabal" or shadow government, it's just that it isn't the democrats doing it.

          It's a bit delusional to say that EU countries are truly independent. Yes, any country can independently decide to leave the union – but as long as you're part of it, you give up parts of your independence.

          They all live is the world and trade with each other because no country makes all the resources they need themselves.

            That's not even remotely the same. You are talking about economic interdependence.

            I am talking about the political act of self-surrendering powers to the union that all EU member states have done.

              Naw, they aren't totally wrong. I mean take any kinda superpac, and see the influence. The problem is, they voted for a swindler, who is only there to further his own goals, not dismantle anything (well, besides soft power).

                Raise them 40% tariffs just for sending this letter. Not in August, not in September but now. Today.

                    This "tariff" is just a distraction from the Epstein files scandal, nothing more. It's just noise, not news.

                        These Tariffs may be modified, upward or downward, depending on our relationship with your Country.

                        First, what the fuck is that random capitalization?

                        Second, so your giving us in writing, that these tariffs may will be modified at will if you feel so.

                        Third, which country are you talking about? Europe is a continent. EU is a union of independent countries/nations.

                            Just so you know you pay the tariff rate that was effective when the item was shipped, so if it is in transit before August 1st you would pay the current tariff rate

                              Fuck it. Send a letter back saying that you're not going to have this pointless dick waving contest. You're stopping all trade with the US and nationalizing US commercial and military assets in the EU. Effective tomorrow unless the US come back to the negotiating table with a zero tariff policy already signed and ready to go.

                                      Yeah, but saying the dems are better is kinda moot. They assisted to the rise of rhis monstrosity. It was a reaction to nothing ever really happening. People got fed uo and swindled. Dems are deep state, republicans deeper.

                                      The problem is, people got swept up by popular hate instead of feeling the Bern.

                                          A stable alliance with the Trump administration isn't possible, as has been made abundantly clear. There's no reason to give concessions to preserve one.

                                          True, but despite that it's not possible to tell him to fuck off either. Europe has no good options here.
