Not gonna lie, this is kinda how I'm watching the subsidies on chinese EV.

Now, would I want to pay taxes to export European cars to the rest of the world? Hell no.

So I'm quite confused

Ai is the future

Forcing Chinese capitalists to invest in poorer countries, is pretty brilliant.

This is a win for the world and a loss for the Chinese government.

😬 not to be smug, but in Belgium and in most of the world it's 300 euros

I don't really understand the need to bring industry in your own country, if another country does it cheaper.

The only reason I can think of is independence. Limiting others their power over you.

But purely economically? It's a waste of resources.

Who will do these jobs anyways? For what income? What can they learn at these jobs? Why would they waste their own opportunity of living in a wealthy economy just to do a job that someone without education and far lower costs can do?

These jobs are temporarily, the next generation won't do those. Then the factories move again to another poor country.

Which is a good thing. This is how we develop the whole world.

When the whole world is developed, there will be no need for such braindead jobs.

If you need tariffs to get those jobs at your location, you're just being inefficient.

But that's economically. Can't trust other countries until we're all more united. And the current era is not making that look promising.

I imagine a lot of Americans give birth at home to reduce costs.

Perhaps I'm just cheap

They are socially leftist but economically not.

Stocks did quite well under Biden, so I don't see an issue. Bottom 50% of the population gained a larger percentage of total wealth.

Why would you even want a manufacturing job? We're paying people without education to do that. We're paying their living costs, which is far cheaper. Then import it cheaply.

I'm only interested in the difficult jobs. Engineers never had an issue getting a job.

My mate applying for an Amazon job for minimum wage, like what. He's wasting all his opportunity. I never worked for a minimum wage job, never will.

Anyways, I made good profit on trump's market crash. Today's a good day

Bought lu908500753 at 221 each for 84 pieces.

Let's see what happens today

The monarchy is basically a cheerleader group, they are symbolic. The leader of the country is the prime minister, currently Bart De Wever.

For the EU it doesn't matter that trump puts 20% tariffs, as long as china has higher tariffs. China sells to us, we manufacture it further, we sell it to the USA.

It doesn't even matter that much, you folks barely have any VAT on your products. These tariffs will be a discriminatory VAT.

It's going to hurt a lot in the short term. This is a policy that requires a steady leadership like china has. I don't believe the USA has the structure for that. In the next elections it will be a landslide victory for the democrats. Too much chaos and uncertainty, looks like child's play to win such an election.

I could, but I'd have to do research about it and it would be the most basic shit you'd already have heard 50 times.

You'd be weaker if decentralised into 50 countries, but you'd not randomly have 125% tariff on china.

Both centralisation and decentralisation have their benefits.

Well, good luck. It's going to be turbulent for 4 years.

The DCA method. They say time in the market beats trying to time to market.

But in these times, it's obviously those with money outside of the market that have the biggest gains.

COVID had a one month crash. Then here in Europe we had the energy crisis bear phase.

But between the financial crisis and COVID it went relatively smoothly.

Future can't be predicted. DCA or building up a lump sum for a bear phase. No idea which of the two is the best option.

The latter is probably the safest one.

Belgium, or just look at my profile. It's the first word there.

You Americans all say USA anyways, it's same size as china or Europe in land size. What state are you from

General known info would be that lump sum beats DCA 2 out of 3 times. Well, we're after a crash. So I just am pumping everything into it.

Into European stock tho, not touching crazy.

But for anyone reading this: keep an emergency buffer of 6 months on your savings account. Your choice if that's 6 months expenses or 6 months income.

If you get fired, you have unemployment benefits, if you get sick you get sick pay.

We have the ability to seek a bit more risk in our private lives.

Median net wealth of my country is 250k euros, the solidarity here is quite good.

The life expectancy here is about 5 years higher than in your country, which means we workout more, have access to better healthcare, have better environment, better food.

I've been working out the past 11 years with weekly deadlifts, bench press, pull ups, squats... Which literally raised my testosterone quite a bit.

I can cycle to work, you can't. You need to sit in a boring box pressing a pedal and try not to fall asleep. When you're late cuz of traffic you just have to work overtime or you get fired.

Medical bankruptcy isnt a thing here, congrats on your president putting tariffs on medicine, sick people love it. Edit: disgusting shithole. Every family has people with cancer.

Having walkable cities is the most normal thing to me.

I haven't actually ever heard any reason for me to want to even visit the USA.

I probably should, sometime. But I prefer going to Asia.

Two rules. Only buy. No sell.

I mean, there's a lot of stuff we could talk about, but you're blabbering nonsense the whole time lol

You're like an 80 iq troll, either a teenager or just really bad.

Like, c'mon buddy. Entertain me a bit more. All you've written is old shit from decades ago when the internet was still new

Vapes create a gigantic cloud and it smells quite bad.

Both are bad, but vaping is just even more annoying.

He's 78, do you really think he cares? He wants to be in history books, must have hurt a lot that nobody gave him any attention during Biden's term

There's only so much I can pump 😩

Nah I'm all out of languages buddy, perhaps something like.. kucing itu hitam 😎

My wife learning Dutch all year long, I learned one sentence from her language
