The world reacts to Trump's sweeping tariffs: 'No basis in logic'

Says the guy with the broken scouter

I recently read an article that suggested the best retaliation would be to stop enforcing US intellectual property in the EU. One of the biggest exports they have is media, if we would stop enforcing their copyright it would cost them a lot of money.

We can only hope.

You're absolutely right, I can easily hear that comment in his voice too

I think a lot of that kind of stuff is going to happen. I don't think other countries are insulted, as much as they find it ridiculous, and to be ridiculed, I think they're going to do some inventive chaos. I think we need to be building some world bingo cards, and I'll bet we won't guess all the (hopefully hilarious) petty revenges about to snowball.

No, they are backed by the economies of the issuing countries.
Gold standard is not viable in a modern economy.

the "logic" is pretty much as you described it. Only, after charging yourself with the extra tax on Walmart purchases, you obviously can't afford Walmart any longer, so you learn to make your own soap with ash and the fats of animals that you have started breeding in your own flat.

You don't even have to go that far. Just adopt sane copyright laws, like copyright only lasting the life of the artist.

No, I just saw another comment that found the "logic"(read whatever the inverse of that is). Apparently he thinks a trade deficit is a bad thing. So he is trying to "balance" them in the summer way possible, by enacting a traffic that inverses it. So Vietnam, we buy $9.7 mil of product from while selling ~$325.25 k to them. So he is enacting a 97% tariffs on imports from Vietnam.

You're hired

Thats still too long imo. Patents are 20 years, so should every IP protection.
-
Naa, 9001% is too high. It's impossible. Better stick with 9000%.

There are penguins!

This is the only person I have seen say this so I can only guess no one is repeating it but it appears to be correct when I checked a few countries.
Its fucking insane to think Cambodia has a 97% tariff, and he thinks they are getting rich off of it.
