Trump to impose 25% to 100% tariffs on Taiwan-made chips, impacting TSMC

[dead_or_alive@lemmy.world]

Trump is going to use Tariffs to try to offset making larger tax cuts for the wealthy.

It’s better that he does this now so that we have a solid recent example to point to of how this will impact what we pay for goods.

Never mind we have 100 years of data backing this up, people are idiots and won’t recognize the treat until it hurts them directly.

Ah yes. Our sworn enemy: Taiwan.

It would be comical if it wasn't so sad.

[surph_ninja@lemmy.world]

You’re not wrong, but the Dems are in on this, too. They were pushing the same chipmaker’s visa when they had the reigns, so I wouldn’t count on them helping.

lol is he even trying to hide being a Russian puppet anymore?

[laitinlok@lemmy.laitinlok.com]

It does not make any sense

[clinicallydepressedpoochie@lemmy.world]

Trump had to tariff someone or else he was going to look stupid for never shutting up about tarrifs.

One of the main features of Deepseek is that you can run it yourself. It doesn't matter if Deepseek are based in China if you run the model on your own servers and thus guarantee that your data doesn't leave your own data center.

I'm considering placing a bulk order for these stickers: https://cnliberalism.org/store/p/my-tariffs-did-that-sticker

iirc the machines that TSMC uses are made in Holland right when He's also apparently doing his best to piss of Europe, even then there's like a decade long order backlog.

Surely this will bring egg prices down.

He's going, or is, senil. The tariffs are just something that got into his head that are simple to understand.

[cheesenoodle@lemmy.world]

But it can run cyberpunk at a whole 21 frames per second!

[lemminary@lemmy.world]

I didn't say that.

Poor USA, forced to be an empire

[itdidnttrickledown@lemmy.world]

Trump is on china's side. Make no mistake he like their way of doing things.

[olympicyes@lemmy.world]

In a way I’m glad he’s doing this. He’s going to inflect so much pain that he loses in a landslide in four or 8 years or whatever. If income tax rates are 0, then a new administration would be able to set them as high as they want without consideration of trying to increase them by 2 percent or whatever they do now.

[olympicyes@lemmy.world]

True but you can run Linux on your own machine but it doesn’t stop anyone from paying AWS or Microsoft to handle it for them.

[logi@lemmy.world]

for the foreseeable future.

Or 4 years, whichever comes first.

[folknforage@lemm.ee]

he is going, or is, senile

How the hell we’ll be able to tell

Did you see the vid where he thinks Spain is the S in BRICS?!

[folknforage@lemm.ee]

That’s because syphilis hasn’t mushed your brain
