Damn, sucks that domestic manufacturers are booming and creating new jobs.

Need some cheap shit from China that breaks in a week!

I'm looking forward to "EMPTY SHELVES" for the holiday times.

it is not a new concept that socialism centrally selects winners and losers

 

[thethe]

Its also not a new concept that Communist dictatorships that ensure their currency is devalued and their people make slave wages creates winners and losers.

But you can keep pretending that you care about a 'free' economy.

 

[sturg33]

ok ill keep pretending

Socialism creating winners and losers - BAD

Communism creating winners and losers - GOOD!!!

would thethe like to make a wager on whether spending is reduced this fiscal year or not?

I know gambling is naughty! but we can give the winnings to charity

Alright - Back to my hiatus.

Maybe I'll come back a time or two with some trade deals and more incredible job reports - or some actual questions from Chop.

MAGIC WAND!

 

[sturg33]

One weird thing about the pro-tariff messaging has been this implicit assumption that people buy cheap shit from China because they want to, and not because they have to. Anybody claiming they’ll be happy to pay more for goods made in America is seeming to miss that the people most affected by this just won’t be able to buy those things at all now. The inferior quality isn’t a selling point, it’s something people just have to put up with because they can’t afford the alternative.

Thethes permissions were broken at all the companies announcing what a disaster these are for them.

But hey we may be reviving the toaster industry!!

I don’t know how to explain this, but the way Lutnick motions and gestures when he’s speaking is a good indicator of how dumb he is. It’s like he doesn’t know what he’s saying and does it weirdly wrong.
