The same people who tell us:

 

Inflation is transitory.

 

If you get the vaccine for a friggin respiratory virus then you won't get covid. 

 

Transwomen are women.

 

The southern border is closed and only new laws passed by congress can fix it.

 

Joe Biden is mentally fit. The mountains of evidence to the contrary are cheap fakes.

 

Etc...

 

And these same morons wonder why people aren't listening to them about tariff induced Armageddon?

 

You made your own friggin bed.

 

Hard pass on anything you're selling.

 

 

 

All the right people are mad.  
 

They know what’s happening and it’s going to work and more importantly change forever how their commie friends controlled us - and potentially far worse in a post Covid world.  
 

If those things weren’t happening they have zero reason to complain - just win back Congress and the WH and roll it all back.  
 

But they know…..much like how Rs knew Obamacare was going to change things but for the worse.  Still waiting on my $2500 in savings.  
 

And that explains their freak out.

People are mad because they’re worried “it will work” and they don’t want all the glory going to Trump. 
 

If that wasn’t true they would have zero reasons to complain. 

 

These actions will cost MAGA the house, senate, and presidency. What you should be asking yourself is despite knowing that, why do liberals still care so much about what’s happening? Why wouldn’t they just let it crash and burn? Maybe it’s because we want to make sure something is even left.

"Let it?"

 

lol. Nice to think you have any agency here. Maybe that explains the Key Swastikas.

Big tell that you’re a Gen Xer. 
 

A sad devotion to some bizarre “rebellion” that will never actually improve anything.

What's gone so wrong in your life that needs improving?

[Big Blitz]

Wait.  You mean the people behind Brexit and Trump are rising up?  The people they silenced in the name of “democracy?”

Hmm, Britain got the 10% default tariff and is trying to make the best of it. It advantages Britain relative to most U.S. trade partners. Hardly a resounding endorsement when you start off "we disagree"

Wood paneling glory hole construction success?

 

I figure I can go to the well another three dozen times and this will continue being "funny", right bullstojan?

Oh gramps has moved past sundowners and is now being a creepy old man even in the morning. Hope that wife and daughter return soon so we can get you the help you need. 
 

Edit: maybe we just pin your Twitter feed to the top of the board. That way, fellow weirdos can read and you can have all the echo chamber fun you want, and the normal folks can be saved from your spam.

Did you remember to sand the hole?

 

You don't want any injured customers from your wood paneling (still funny!) glory hole.

The orange menace didn't impose tariffs on Russia or North Korea!

 

Putin's puppet!!!

Trust the guy that hasn’t changed his core positions 65 times.  That’s where we all should be.  He's always known we were headed to something unsustainable. 
 

 

Compare that to the people that have been elected to Congress the last 40 years have flipped and flopped so much they’ve reached “we can’t define woman” phase of their spineless hypocrisy.

"Trump supporters dont measure his success by what he does FOR them, they measure his success by what he does TO/AGAINST others.....That's why they see him as being "successful". This is why they will NEVER abandon him. His tormenting of the "others" sustains them."

I have an economics background, but I'm not schooled all that well in tariffs.

 

Maybe someone can explain something to me I have been thinking about a lot...that having a trade deficit while having the world's defacto reserve currency and a national budget debt/deficit can be a good thing.

 

This may be overly simplistic, but here goes: 

 

-The USA has a trade deficit with most nations.  We give 'dollars' to them for 'stuff'.

 

-Now, those other countries...the businesses there or the individuals there, can't simply convert all of the US$ to their local currency to spend...there isn't enough of the local currency. And unlike the USA (the worlds reserve currency), if those other nations just printed their dollars to absorb the currency conversion, it would create so many of their own dollars that it would cause massive inflation there.

 

-So those dollars, maybe after switching hands a few times among businesses or even other nations, eventually have to make their way back to the USA. The foreign holders of them buy US real estate (A lot of Chinese property owners in Florida recently). They buy US stocks. US bonds (corporate or treasuries).

 

-So in regard to the above, the 'trade deficit' is a matter of semantics.  The trade between the nations is really even. We buy their 'stuff', and in a round-about way, in exchange for that stuff they (eventually) get stuff from us, land, houses in the USA, stocks of US companies and bonds.'

 

-If Trumps goal is to reduce the trade deficit, you are just moving stuff around. As mentioned above, there is no real 'deficit', as other countries are getting an equal value of us dollars and investments as they are for the goods we buy.  Trump wants to reduce the 'goods we buy from them' part of equation.

 

-But if you reduce the 'good we buy from them' part of the equation, they the other side is reduced also. They 'buy' less real estate from us (taking away a large form of support for the housing market).  They 'buy' less bonds from us (taking away a source of demand for bonds that keeps interest rates low). The 'buy' less US companies and stocks (taking away a support of our financial markets)

 

-By reducing the trade deficit, you are reducing a 'problem' that not only have we learned to deal with, that we have set up our economy around so it benefits us in other ways.....but you are reducing a 'problem' that will possibly cause other problems that we are NOT able to deal with right away (reduced foreign investment in our real estate and financial markets)

 

I guess, our 'deficit' with them is not really a deficit. We get something, they get something. By trying to reduce the deficit, all we are doing is moving things around and end up with the same value, but possibly new problems that we aren't used to dealing with.

 

When the system is set up, and massive changes are made to the system, it causes friction.  That friction slows things down temporarily until the everyone can re-adjust to the system.  But in the end, the total value of things doesn't really change all that much, minus the friction you created.

The video from ‘88 is actually quality post. It helps prove that he has never understood basic economics. I wonder if that’s the year he started his “divide by the total then divide again by two” genius strategy.
