It's not that bad, you go to Youtube & look up your local Indian mathematician
But do it quick while the country can still afford the internet
Release the Epstein files.
What do you mean "likely pushing up cost of electronics". That is the literal point of a tariff, to push the prices up and make competing goods more appealing to consumers. The only way it doesnt raise prices is if importers just eat the cost, which they will almost certainly not do and, frankly, shouldn't do.
In the US the point of tarrifs is to tax the poor to pay for tax breaks for the rich.
Bingo, this is just a way of raising taxes on the poor without "raising taxes".
CPUs are so expensive, I guess I'll buy a good old US made abacus instead!
that's probably the one thing I'd buy purposely Chinese.
Yes, but the media is willing to lie for him and whatever form necessary to normalize all this
Every American needs to be forced to learn the components of a supply and demand diagram.
Release the Epstein files
I agree, but I think we should amend this phrase.
Release the UNREDACTED Epstein files
This will surely bring manufacturing back to the US /s
America in a few years when no one wants their goods anymore and every country outside the US ramped up production since US is the most unreliable partner ever.
shocked pikachu face
I watched part of this announcement and he said something I normally don't pick up on
"If they have started to build or have plans to build they don't have to pay the tariff."
Sounds like.jobs.
But what I heard was it was a discount for the oligarchy. Why do you only get a discount if you are in the position to at least pretend to be building a factory?
And then since prices are now double, you get to import and sell at an easy profit.
Yeah, Apple's stock went up 5% yesterday because of Tim Cook's meeting with Trump (where he promised $600 billion investment in US manufacturing), and Apple's saying they won't be affected by the new 50% tariffs on India. There are also ghost factories that were built during Trump's first term.
Which literally means they have to announce fake plans to build which be continually delayed until at least 2028
Even once it opens, it's cheaper to pay taxes on an empty factory than it is to pay tariffs or American workers.
"...likely pushing up..."
"...likely..."
Of course it will! What kind of reporting is this? "...forcing the price up..." Is the phrase they were looking for.
That's not the article title.
get that AI bubble a-poppin
Oh boy, another distraction
Still about the Epstein list? Or is it now about the child abuse pastor?
Either way, Trump is a pedophile who is close friends with several other pedophiles. That's the important part.
Where are the Trump-Epstein files?
Can't have files if you don't have a computer to store them tips forehead
Americans won‘t own anything and they‘ll be happy.
anything to not discuss the epstein files, it seems like the effectiveness of tariffs isnt have as much effect as distraction as it should.
'muricans are already getting their Brazilian coffee tariffed, which should make lower quality distractions work better
All the dangers they tell us about being over weight and eating like shit, and this mother fucker is still clinging to life like an 80s action hero clings to the underside of a helicopter at the climax of the movie. Come on clogged arteries, do something!
Unrelated, welcome to Lemmy.

What's interesting about this is that Ghislaine Maxwell just got a transfer to a cushy facility in exchange for what is likely to be heavily coached testimony about how Donald Trump totally didn't rape children.
