@Karnine3 I've watched your anger boil up over the last few months and I worry for your general happiness. I fear you may have misread my response as I said the opposite of "if you hate it don't play it".
The world is pretty rough right now, and I hope that you find some joy soon. 💜
@TheSalta72 …so the answer to the original prompt made itself known in less than a day: Why would someone fight a tariff with a tariff if tariffs don’t make sense in a global economy?
Because if they buckle to the pressure then they are in a spot worse than before.
The end.
@TheSalta72 Explaining to folks that tariffs are risky is not fear mongering.
Mexico caved but it only bought them a month? How many more concessions will they keep having to make? It’s a lose-lose situation and they just gave more leverage to the person who picked a fight with their ally…
@TheSalta72 …The “legacy” media is “shocked” because it’s not normal to bite the hand that feeds you. Raising prices for citizens and spiting allies? The only goal is bleeding out small business so they can be acquired.
It’s tough watching folks try to sink this ship without lifeboats.
@TheSalta72 Strong America for whom? The whole plan is to tear everything down, buy it all for cheap, with zero plans to build anything back up.
Many career politicians are lousy and corrupt. What makes “businessmen” exempt from lousiness or corruption?…
@TheSalta72 …if you’re arguing with someone who refuses to listen to financial advisors, then how does one respond? Eye for eye, I guess? It’s symbolic chest puffing. As for why the corporations are letting it happen:
When the tax gets lifted, they’ll keep the prices high.
@TheSalta72 …this is a global economy now.
Meaning every part of everything is made from everywhere else. Business don’t have “local” options anymore because local manufacturing has been dismantled over the last 50 years.
So this will only drive prices up. As for the response…
@crunchess_ Long story short: the Pennsylvania polling quote is extremely sus and we should be mad about it. But the Olympics clip is being misinterpreted as a second admission of guilt when it is not.
In this world of misinformation it’s more important than ever to have the facts straight
@crunchess_ His cult doesn’t care when *they* are wrong, just when the opposition is wrong so they use it to discredit the truth.
The list of crimes and injustices committed by the rapist are endless but if we get mad about misinterpreted statement suddenly all the real crimes don’t exist.
