Announcing tariffs is a great way to manipulate the stock market though. And if you know what he is going to announce next, you can make a killing at the expense of every 401k holder.
True but targeted harassment is repetitive from a single person. Much like spam email. One's fine, 10,000 ftom 10,000 separate accounts is only harassment if they can be linked to a single person/ip
I'm not saying that it's not a crime to persistently bother someone till they leave the platform, it is, but that typically involves a long series of months and intent to persecute said person.
One random bluesky is a drop in the bucket of vitiol aimed their direction.
I am not saying bothering someone is a crime (depends on context) but consistent and repeated harassment should come with consequences and possible loss of privleges.
Even funnier is that Ben Stein, a well-known celebrity MAGAt (we all know how despirate Trump is to be publicly liked by crlebities), is the one helping expose the stupidity of Trump's economic plan.
FYI. In Europe you're able select what cookies & data searches are allowed for any site visited on the Internet. The site suggested has a lot of data mining going on. Just go to YouTube for scene about tariffs. I've provided the link: https://youtu.be/uhiCFdWeQfA?si=WKH_Ku2SPBTwLgjG
History sets the examples, history records the events,history shows what is a bad idea, but some people ignore history, and as a result, are bound to repeat it...
In case you’ve forgotten. Ben Stein is the son of economist Herbert Stein, who worked under Nixon. Herbert used to write human interest stories about people he met while riding the DC metro bus.
This is feeling like The Big Short, only bigger. Biggest short, coming to a country near you. Maybe if Margot Robbie explained things everything would be okay?
I have been posting this clip a few times this year (and last) but I sadly only just realized that the teens not paying any attention to this teacher are actually today’s MAGA (right age group for MAGA OG)
I'm not so sure they're unaware of this history. I think the intention is to recreate the circumstances that led to world war II. They're hoping the Nazis win this time. And it's the US and Russia as the bad guys instead of Germany, Italy and Japan.
This was going viral in November on other forums, I remember MAGA laughing saying it was all bullshit and fake and *we* wouldn't pay the price 🙄. Idiots.
They wouldn't know the truth if it sat on their face and wiggled.
I haven't watched that movie since it first was shown on free TV all those years ago!
If I remember correctly, you had to be willing to really dig deep to come up with anything very profound in it, but I may have it confused with some other movie(s)!
To think ol’ Ben’s a total right wing nut case but, then again, trump isn’t a conservative. Politically he’s a stay-out-jail mob boss. He has no convictions. He’s a self-serving, corrupt parasite.
"I will do everything including cut off their energy with a smile on my face so and I'm encouraging every other Province to do the same... they need to feel the pain...we're going to come back twice as hard...a tariff on Canada is an attack on Americans."
Sucks for those of us that didn’t do anything to be punished for… I’m sure my ancestors would have stayed in Ireland and Italy if they knew America would turn into anything reminiscent of Mussolini.
Sadly, I don’t think it will truly hurt who you want it to. Boycotting goods seems like a better option. It’s what many of us here in the center of this crisis are doing (among other things).

The Genesis of stupidity is apathy.

When market crashes stock price goes down that's when you do your buying.
Then announces no tariffs which then the market goes back up which is when you sell.
Crash market intentionally
There is no one who benefits from trade wars except those who love screw over normal working people.

We're free to say anything as long as we're not inciting violence. So his trumpness can't prosecute me for saying he's a sandwich short of a picnic.
"Cruel behavior"– captures intentional meanness
"Relentless bullying" – emphasizes ongoing abuse
"Malicious harassment" – combines intent and repeated mistreatment
"Targeted aggression" – highlights directed hostility

Understanding right from wrong is a case by case basis and should be treated as such.
Everything else acts as good guidelines
Remind me was there some big economic problems in 1930?

Mr Takei, you would know this LOL
Anyone? Anyone?

So are markups.
The analysis does not account for multiple border crossings.
The impact is way low.
Likely more in the range of 50-80%
