Tariff hike confirmed I am almost certain that currency manipulation was one of the non-tariff factors that trump baked in to his numbers

Didn't his charts outright say that? I could've sworn they mentioned currency manipulation.

Also I did some thinking about the food we export. I think that Europe et al isn't wrong to ban our processed foods. The whole thing RFK is fighting against. But when they ban our meat, and then approve mealworm larvae flour for human consumption, I can't defend them.
So the trade war vs health concerns are something that has been bouncing in my mind. This was more of a ramble, really, but it was an aspect that I didn't see mentioned in the thread.

Rimby go down, USD can afford to buy more product, offset compensates for tariffs.

That's Xi's strike back at Trump.

Good luck, I say. It seems like Trump is committed to personally humiliating Xi to prove a point, and I’m here for it.

Another interesting tidbit is China collapsing right now would validate Chinese culture, because of a bunch of doom prophecy having to do with Xi being a snake in Chinese astrology blah blah

Here’s this lady explaining it

I hope to high hell that Trump fucks the ever-loving shit out of Apple, they deserve every nasty thing that comes their way.

I do too, but Apple knows they have a lot of loyal niggercattle. I honestly would expect them to try to fuck Trump back, by funding democrats in key races, or putting out ads to their niggercattle telling them to vote against the evil orange man who is trying to take their Apple products away.
 
If trump was a dictator we wouldn't have to worry about being betrayed by corporate fags. They are just counting the days til trump is gone, so that they can go back fleecing American people.

I feel like that would be the last option before using nukes, since there would be incredible civilian casualties if the dam breaks. Obviously civilian casualties weren't a concern with the two nukes the US dropped on Japan, but I imagine a war would have to get pretty bad before bombing the dam is on the table.

Civilian casualties actually WERE a consideration, considering we'd have to claw inch by inch of land from the beach to the capital. @Jet Fuel Johnny has a good post about it, how actually tons of lives both military and civilian on both sides were saved.

They do this all already, and it still lead to Trump winning and Mexicans wanting to make iphones instead.

That's Xi devaluing their currency, making their products cheaper.

It's an illegal trade practice.

Trump should just double the tariffs on china then. Keep going until the yuan is worthless.
>implying it currently has any worth

I've gotten to the point where for any video related to china in any way, i don't even bother looking at the comments. Never a single real person.

Frankly most of youtube is just botted to shit, it's only the inconsequential videos with relatively few views that have comments from real people.

I'm a doomer sometimes. It's a mentality of "if I keep my expectations at rock bottom, I can never be disappointed".
Click to expand...
The word doomer gets used multiple different ways. The original meaning was more about being depressed about the state of the world. Especially during a time when Boomers kept saying everything was great and they don't understand what there was to be upset about. Doomer memes expressed a shared concern about the world, and alleviated loneliness by recognizing others have similar views.

Now "doomer" is used to describe somebody who is endlessly pessimistic. The fact that shills and bots also do this to demoralize, makes it more annoying. These Doomers don't actually have low expectations. If they did, they wouldn't be upset at the state of the world, because it would be what they expected. There would be no reason to complain.

A person with low expectations looks more like this:

A person who complains a lot looks like this:

You mean the same corporate fags Trump sucks up to at every turn ? The same corporate fags he lowers taxes and interest rates for ? The same ones he deregulates those corporate fags.
