Yep, rethink that services trade deficit they have with us and maybe stop buying US services and/or tariff those. 1930 here we come, doo da, doo da.
- Yeah I am from Switzerland and I can absolutely afford paying the US services I was using. I cancelled them all in the past weeks, iCloud, Netflix, Disney, MS Office, Bitwarden, Sky Switzerland (owned by Comcast) all lost my business.
  
  What did you switch to from Bitwarden, if you don’t mind me asking.
Yes. Examine how to make new alliances that exclude the US completely.
Canada will forge stronger ties with Europe. Mexico with South America. Consumers will take all manner of steps to avoid US goods and services.
Fucking great job, Lutnick, you piece of shit.
He's not entirely wrong.
- He's actually spot on but he should have said the silent part out loud. As in what that means for the US.
Oh yes we will
I have to thank Trump and Elmo for ending the US hegemony that weighed on the world for decades
Nutlick. It’s pronounced Nutlick.
That's technically correct, the best kind of correct.
