10 percent for literally everyone except China which will be at 125 percent

Even though it’s the slop equivalent of its time I have so much nostalgia for these gaming magazines omg my 14 year old self used to get so excited when I saw a new EGM in the mailbox

It’s absolutely bananas how bad these motherfuckers are at communicating what they’re doing.

“90 day pause” was literally a media invention that they ran with based on a tweet that completely made up the idea that he was doing it… somehow that became a self fulfilling prophecy lmao

So… even during the pause it’s still 10 percent tariff on literally every country?(sans the ones that are already sanctioned anyway like Russia)

That’s still gonna have a palpable impact on prices… the market is mooning anyway though because it shows trump is capable of getting cold feet on this and would probably rescind even these tarrifs the second it gets bad for Americans.

So he continues to be full of shit I guess.

It has been his thing for a long long long time here’s some footage of him talking about tarrifs in regards to Japan during the 80s boom https://youtu.be/n7st2oG5AwU

We have actually for reals entered a period known as the cool zone

Edit:

Cool zone denialists in shambles rn

I think the carrier pays them then they collect the money from you when they deliver if I’m not mistaken.

Trade deficits have always been his ‘thing’ like the whole get Mexico to pay for the wall thing was conceived through this idea that because a trade deficit existed with Mexico we would simply put a 20 percent tariff on imports and use that to pay for the wall and now it appears he has just followed this faulty logic to the end conclusion which is fuck it do it to everyone we’re gonna be freakin rich!

would take decades and climate stalin at that

This is so comical like why is the laptop in the way of the chart lmfao

Earlier on i was pretty convinced that the tarrif drama was a ruse they would constantly go back and forth on but at this point I don’t even know anymore man. I’m sure some of this will be rescinded or weaseled down like every other time but this is so extreme that they would need to take back almost all of this garbage to avert a catastrophe. From what I understand China is gonna go from 20 percent where it is now up to what like 44 percent or something? (“Reciprocal” tariff plus the base 10 percent that is going to apply to uh every country) and we have barely even started to see the impacts of the 20 percent like that alone was still gonna be bad

Maybe they really are just trying to collapse everything on purpose. The insurrection act is supposed to be recommended by the admin by April 20th maybe they just wanna put their feet back on the gas pedal now

mama mia

I think they know it won't happen but they still have to pretend that it's a strong possibility because to say otherwise would imply that russia has an actual calculus for why it does anything instead of pure barbarity and malice

Wake up guys new shitty jet just dropped

LMAO the motherfuckers folded again

Edit: further context

25 percent is still pretty significant I see this as an attempt to temper the markets(which will probably work) the markets thrive on reading headlines and investors engage in magical thinking all the time it’s always dumb money until material reality kicks in.

At this point we should probably just wait for the supply chains to catch up and for this to actually impact Americans(which is definitely going to happen) for the markets to catch up.

chapo.chat and shrekland.net still working

Sam Altman says OpenAI bid is sign of Elon Musk's 'insecurity' https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-3vSkHAHIs4
