  • Eh, feels like he's playing up the stereotype of the eternal German.

    "...WE DON'T DO ZIS IN GERMANY! YOU BUILD HOUSES WITH WOOD? WE DON'T DO ZIS IN GERMANY. YOU DON'T SEPARATE GLASS FROM RECYCLING? BUT WE DO ZIS IN GERMANY!!!!

    I'm allowed to say that, I'm German myself. We are obnoxious and tone-deaf fuckers.

  • There is a shipping route opening up that would enable Asian-Europen-American trade via a about 2/3 shorter route than currently possible. It would make any route through the Suez canals or around Africa pointless. This might not sound important right now, but it would fundamentally change the fortunes of countries and reshape the world.

  • And...then?

    1. Greenland still belongs to Denmark even if you give 99999999 gazillion to each Greenlander
    2. I don't think anyone in Greenland is dumb enough to sell out their country for 10k to then live in a country where you will pay out of your ass in taxes, handing those 10k right back to the IRS in 5 years tops.
    3. Greenlanders would have to call themselves "Americans" henceforth, which is considered an insult and lower class of civilization world-wide.
  • From "voting to destroy the US to own the libs", to "cheering for China to destroy the US to own the MAGAs".

    Not that I'm feeling different. I hope the entire world embargoes the US and widespread famine takes hold here. Just as a wake-up call that Americans are neither special, nor protected. Maybe some balkanization. I guess both MAGAs and us can agree on one thing: Time to end this country.

  • Dow Jones Average was up by almost 3000 points or 8%. That is in fact a massive spike and in no way does this look natural. It was Donald's pals robbing everyone else on the stock market. You're right about the market volatility, who in their right mind would even dare to strategize with the usual 3-4 years when you don't even know what the next 3-4 hours bring?

  • Lmao none of them will remember that 3 years from now when Trump or his successor run on a platform of "DEMOCRATS HAVE LOOSED THE SEWER MUTANTS ON US, WE NEVER HAD SEWER MUTANTS BEFORE SOROS FINANCED THEM. I BOLTED DOWN ALL THE MANHOLES IN NEW YORK. WHAT HAS OBAMA EVER DONE AGAINST SEWER MUTANTS?"

  • Yeah same. Account of 7 years banned in an instant for making fun of the chosen people. Turns out you can not do that. Ever.

    You can be racist against everyone else though especially muslims. Individual site mods might take issue with that, but not the admins.

  • Hope this falls through. Any trade deals that allow the US to circumvent Trumps policies and thus keep his regime going is bad. The big crash needs to happen before people are motivated to fight back. The slow frog boil is what led us here to begin with.

  • Don't care about the grand casino lines and neither should you, unless you look at the fancy lines you personally invested in.

    The bigger coming bomb will be when those tariffs actually catch up with domestic consumption (going down hard because no one has money anymore to pay for all of this), leading to mass layoffs, leading to even more reduction in consumption because even less people have money, leading to more layoffs, leading to... Mass austerity that will eat up the savings reached by dismantling the government, because of the brutal tax losses for the remnants of said government.

  • And 37% still approve of his “economic leadership”?

    "You know, I saw MadMax back in the day and it seemed like the lads were having a lot of fun."

    Edit: Since this is not a meme sub: You know as well as I do that this many people genuinely believe Trump when he says this is somehow good for the US. The quote I've commonly read in connection with this is "finally the other countries will be paying their fair share!".

  • Yeah my understanding of the ID situation in the US is certainly flawed. It seems labyrinthian to me at times due to all the different state ordenances. Although nothing compared to the US health care system. Jesus Christ. One thing I've learned here is that freedom certainly isn't free.

  • "Leave" from public view. That is all people on the right ask of Musk. They are okay with his interference and interventions. He just makes himself too much of a target by being publicly visible.

    You can't be the shadow government when you're exposed to sunlight. Then again, the brain behind the entire operation never stepped out of the shadows and will remain there. Peter Thiel.

  • Thanks for typing out the percentages, so far I've only seen emotional news reports about it without any detailed info.

    Are these tariffs on ALL goods from a certain country? Eg, does 34% on China mean 34% on ALL Chinese goods or just certain ones like cars?

    Well, one of two things will happen now.

    • The US economy will recede by roughly 30% over the coming years (classified by economists as "catastrophic collapse")
    • It will turn out that trade was "fake and gay" all along and autarky is the way to go, despite centuries of historic lessons to the contrary.

    Take your pick.
