The seethe over the next few days will be astronomical as the switch 2 has been confirmed to have delayed its preorders because of tariffs, and the console was already expensive itself with the games being a even greater travesty.

Lol, retards I know were seething about Nintendo apparently charging for the instruction book and "it's too expensive muh capitalism reeeeeee"

Though they are seething at Liberation Day too. I doubt they even understand what a tarrif is. Probably think it's a facism Putin invented and told drumpf to do

The stock market and real estate are the only ways normal people can keep up with inflation. Once you back out the inflation, your gains are minimal at best.

Both the stock market and the housing market, on average, give real returns of around 6% annual adjusted for inflation. This is not minimal.

Be careful what you wish for. People don't generally go off to starve to death quietly. There will be unrest.

Yeah, I'd eat that guy first, just because he's being an asshole.

Damn, cutting off your junk and not even becoming a government official is about as close as it gets to begging your parents to murder you. Good luck!
 
Why do people default to "food is going to be more expensive"? We are blessed by many things, including mass amounts of farmland, and an entire coast that functionally doesn't have seasons. On top of only importing 15% of food to begin with.

Cheap Chinese shit is going to get more expensive, but that's really not the worst thing in the world

There was a lot of inflation under Biden because of money printer lol being the dominant economic ideology of libs.

This caused cons to point out eggs cost too much.

When libs overwhelmingly lost because they are dumb and everyone hates them, they pivoted to yackin' about egg prices, hoping to stick the side fixing the problem with having caused the problem.

You can point out how much food we produce until the cows come home (and get turned into steaks) and they'l try to compute this new data for a few seconds before crashing and restarting at TARRIFFS!!!!! WE'RE ALL GOING TO DIE!!!!!!

I mean, the eggs had more to do with the fact of a bird flu happening and a large number of flocks had to be culled. Inflation doesn't target just one specific product. And furthermore, egg prices went up because it primarily affected US flocks and we don't import eggs in from other places.

Inflation or not, egg prices would have spiked, the supply was cut to begin with.

Yes they do. They have infinite tariffs on American beef and chicken, for example.

Just because they say that their regulations are for “safety” instead of for trade reasons doesn’t make that true.

Case in point is "chlorinated chicken" even though the European Food Safety Authority concluded the chicken was safe.

The term is just used to scaremonger as if you have had milk in Europe, it's simply called milk not "irradiated milk".

The whole issue around chicken is to prop up European farmers inefficiency as they cannot compete with US prices.
 
I'm gonna oust myself: I am a tendie. Not a flaming pants-shitting tendie, but a tendie all the same.

I like their games, what can I say. I don't think the pre-order delay is going to amount to anything other than immense seething. If anything its a huge point of leverage for the US. Nintendo is literally Japans biggest company, they're not going to allow Tariffs to impact their revenue. They can sway things politically.

EDIT: Correction, they are the richest company by net cash holdings, nothing to do with size. Still, I think they will have some pretty big influence over Japanese politics
