From space, it will look like a star with a hole in the centre?

Stop the disease ! STD - Stop Trump, Donald !

Impeach Facist Trump

Down with Nazi Felon Musk.

why not use them and feed the sensors false data.

is there any device that can be used to check the router actual transmit power. It feels like changing that setting doesn't do anything.

Good point.

US with a population of 300 million with a high GDP per capita trades with a country of 1 million with low GDP per capita.

The country of 1 million can sell 300 million cheap spoon to US.

But US will only be able to sell 1 million fork to that country. There is no way that country can buy 300 million fork to create a balance. The imbalance is natural and is not cheating.

Unless all the countries US trades with are equally wealthy and equal population (same amount of money and same amount of people or same concumption capacity), there will be imbalances.

There are other things to look at, too, like does a country in the equator need winter jackets? Assume US is the largest producer of winter jackets, and if they try to sell them, winter jacket it will lead to imbalances too. nobody will buy them. A country that is mostly buddhist/hindu will probably not import any beef from US.

You only asked a 2 part single question to find out which platform to avoid, you obviously know it would not be answered. I need you to pay the higher prices, not avoid the platform. Since you want to **avoid **the platform I **avoid **telling you, we both avoid so it is fair.

Your explanation shows that you finally understand tariffs.

Yes it is all about **upsizing **the impact on US and reducing impact elsewhere. Voting for tariffs clearly shows that majority of US citizen and government loves to pay more tax for foreign and local goods.

You are right digital product/services escaped this for now, this means they might be affected in the future so based on your good advice I would have to raise prices for US so as to build up the buffer to weather the potential tariffs on digital goods/services.

To help the non-US people, penguins and seals, I give discount vouchers to non US customers to help them further reduce cost outside US.

I don't need to shop around, I have mentioned my products are on other platforms.

I would still put my product on that US platform and others, for the advertisement and to pull non-us customer away from them to a better deals elsewhere but some users are willing to pay the higher prices so let them pay. willing buyer willing seller. it is not going to bankrupt anyone don't worry. Note, I am also raising rates for US clients for digital services too not just products. Need to build the buffer.

Yup, you can live like a king with that money in many other parts of the world.

There should be fair competition in the market the government should not be the only one that can sell citizenships. Or at least we should be allowed to sell it back to the government for $5 million who can then sell to someone else.

Even if I sell less it doesn't matter, the higher prices makes up for it. I don't need to sell much at higher price. People buy my stuff usually to save time, they are trying to meet project deadlines. As long as it is cheaper to buy instead of building it themselves which might take days, weeks they are still saving time and money.

Note that I raise prices on US platform only. My prices on site based in Europe (Lithuania) is much lower (American can buy from there if they bother to search, I do see US customers IPs on my sale stats), If you really want to talk about greed and douchebag-ness it is the US platforms that are super greedy they are taking more than 60% from each of my sales. While the Europe platform only take 30%. So I could care less if I lose sale on the US sites, I prefer if my customer buy from europe site instead.

It seems countries getting hit by tariffs don't tariff US goods as high as trump is claiming, https://www.threads.net/@aaliamauro/post/DICFOusPqD1

US doesn't even export enough goods to some of those countries to hit tariff triggers. So most item remain tariff free. https://edition.cnn.com/2025/04/02/politics/fact-check-trump-tariffs-trade/index.html

The tariffs broken down by internet level domain makes no sense, It looks very unscientific and lazy.

I am not affected by tariffs, but I am going to further raise the prices of my digital goods on US platforms anyway. Because i noticed people buy anyway when i raised prices earlier this year.

my impact is extremely tiny, but if everyone does it, especially for essential products sold to US. This might help a nation as a whole compensate for loss of revenue in other industries affected by tariffs.

Most people in US will think the higher prices for everything are due to tariffs.

Edit : Note that my prices on platform based outside of US are kept much lower, Americans do buy from there. It is only on US site that I raise prices.

Well Trump was a TV showman. Americans voted for a showman so they got a showman.

But the tariffs are paid by American. It is tax on Americans. Why would foreign country care too much other than the price of their goods are a little higher for americans.

People will have to still buy essential products anyway or suffer clogged drains or sit on the floor without chairs or eat with hands without utensils.

In fact, I raised prices on my digital goods a while back due to trump threats of tariffs on Canada Mexico. i raised prices only on US platforms for my digital products. People are still buying.

Tariffs are basically tax on Americans.

Can't wait to see what US Krasnov Trump does next. China can go a few step further by giving nuclear weapon tech assistance to Iran. That will trigger trump a lot.

Wow you have solved the reincarnation puzzle! If we have just humans in the universe after eliminating every other living thing (except the good bacteria we need in our intestines), we will keep reincarnating back as mostly humans after a short stint in someone bowels !

I make a huge sacrifice and eat meat so that my fellow suffering souls can move along their reincarnation queue as quickly as possible, into the next animal.

That sounds like it is good to kill insects and animal because we are helping their soul go through their reincarnation queue faster and eventually come back as human.

Sounds like warren buffet, whose health conscious ex-wife died and Warren is still alive drinking coca-cola, eating McD breakfast and steaks.

I think genetically some people are blessed with a body that is just very good at repairing the damage (maintenance) from so called unhealthy food.

So that's what it was actually supposed to be all along... MAGA - Make America Great-depression Again.

That is why all newspaper headline needs to change to "Trump tax imports so as to raise prices of products for Americans."
