Apparently Google searches for "what is a tariff" skyrocketed after Trump won
Also "can I change my vote"
There are already quite a few regrets it seems, and the right wing are gonna learn how tariffs actually work real soon
I'm guessing the money they raise will also be used to help fund tax cuts for high income
I never use Google, so this is from a blank slate search. The top result for "can i c" is "can I change my vote?" Also the top 2 results for "what is" by itself are: "what is the 4b movement" and "what is a tariff". Here come the leopards.
No less than The Economist uses the BMI ("Big Mac Index") to compare economies.
I like how this has "Murrkans dumb" vibes, but this picture is intellectually far better than what average Russian thinks about economy.
That said, 6+ bigmacs for an hour of minimum wage sounds very good. Actually it sounds like some heaven on earth.
'Heaven is a place in Earth' was, in fact, released in 1987 by Belinda Carlisle.
Fueled by cheap Big Mac's, no doubt, though the song neglects to mention them.
look closer at everything you own. 99.9% of it will be 40% more expensive if you have to buy it again
I'm actually really excited about the smuggling opportunities such a high tariff presents. It's a real job creator. It's been a long time since we've had major smuggling operations on the great lakes. Will be a big boom for Chicago too, since that's the point where the smuggled goods get put on trains. Maybe even get the outfit back together.
Al Capone watching his successors continue his legacy by smuggling PS5s and pirating games lol
Maybe we can have speakeasy arcades run by nerds with 3D printed tommy guns.
So if I was planning on building a gaming pc am I gonna want to do it before mid january?
People did warn folks about this.
And laptops, and phones, and literally every other electronic thing you might want to buy
People that can still afford stuff will be so cool. The hippest tech, biggest cars and newest kicks, everything will be uber exclusive. This is good for america because reasons.
From this article
But in the case of the hefty tariffs that Trump put on China during his first term, economic studies found that most of those costs were passed on to American consumers.
Economists believe this could happen again. One study by the Peterson Institute for International Economics, for example, calculated that Trump’s current tariff plans would increase costs for a typical American household by $2,600 a year.
Paying more for everything to own the libs! 🤡
How someone can expect anything else to happen is beyond me.
YO HO HO AND A CACHE OF TORRENTS!
Bbbbut I wuz told China would pay for the wall! And my new Playstation!
And fridges, washers, dryers, tvs, vacuums, cars, phones.
Basically anything that has a microcontroller you're going to be fucked.
In this day and age, pretty much anything powered by electricity.
I thought Republicans were the anti-tax party?
People think that foreign countries pay the tariffs and I'm not sure trump doesn't think that as well.
Best news ever says dude still rocking the X-box 360 and happy about that.
At least prison business is booming when no one can afford to live even if they get paid. Land of the Free!
