Trump apparently was doing these tariffs based on trade deficits (Which is stupid on its own, if your dentist doesn't buy the widgets you sell, that's not a tariff.), if Russia wasn't running one, then there you go.
U.S. total goods trade with Russia were an estimated $3.5 billion in 2024. U.S. goods exports to Russia in 2024 were $526.1 million, down 12.3 percent ($73.5 million) from 2023. U.S. goods imports from Russia totaled $3.0 billion in 2024, down 34.2 percent ($1.6 billion) from 2023. The U.S. goods trade deficit with Russia was $2.5 billion in 2024, a 37.5 percent decrease ($1.5 billion) over 2023.
Based on that math, with the CNN article I linked for the formula (the country’s trade deficit divided by its exports to the United States times 1/2) we get - (2,500,000,000 / 3,000,000,000) * 1/2 = 0.416666...
So Russia should have a 42% tariff based on their purported 83% tariff on us.
I don't say it to the people themselves but there has been a fair amount of, "What the fuck is that bullshit?" said while I play pvp stuff in Destiny 2, which I tend to shy from most of the time.
Wow its dangerous in Russia. Exploding cars, people keep falling out windows, accidentally shooting themselves in the back of the head repeatedly then falling down elevator shafts. Someone should establish some safety programs.
It could have changed in the last year (I left in late 2023 personally) but I don't think thats the case, also the other comic would have disappeared too if it was.
Gas station attendants don't have a major impact on prices from what I've seen. IMO the politics of the state and the distance from the Gulf of Mexico and other big oil points are the major contributors. To wit-
Locking folks up for life is cheaper. I'd be fine leaving Elon on a deserted island somewhere around Point Nemo and occasionally airdropping food and the like.
I think a fair amount of survivor games like Vampire Survivors and 20 minutes til dawn are intended for just one hand. Then there's every turn based strat game like Civilization and stellaris, along with every turn based RPG out thete
Those immigrant workers were stealing valuable and very in-demand American fruit and vegetable picking jobs. Surely now she can hire from the huge line of American workers desperate to do this job. /s
If my boss failed to give me a paycheck, there would be two followups. The polite followup where I presume there was a mistake, and the not polite followup where I presume there was not. Guy doesn't want 70 million not polite followups. He is not ready for that kind of bipartisan smoke.
If it was removed a few days later its more then served its purpose. Folks looking at couple day old posts are a trickle compared to that initial rush.
You can view this one of two ways, possibly both:
