  • Picking local versus imported has no effect whatsoever on the price of the transformed product.

    Business will find the source of primary resources that is the cheapest for their needs. Best case scenario, local is what’s used already and prices won’t change.

    Otherwise, the transformed product will cost more because either the businesses pay the new inflated price for imported resources or they switch to a local resources which is more expensive. Prices will raise no matter what.

    Guess which one we’ll see happening?



  • Tariffs only makes thing more expensive for everyone.

    Let’s say you import steel at X$/ton and it cost Y$ locally where X < Y. You add a tariff T to make the imported steel on par with local steel.

    Local steel still is as expensive and any production that uses imported steel now cost more.

    Nothing went down in price, only up.

    Now, there is a discussion to be had about buying local, but the immediate effect is that things will cost more even if manufacturers switch to local steel because they pay more for the same quantity no matter what.

    This is a simplified version of the situation, but it explains the issue.




  • If by reigning in big tech you mean a cartel style system where companies need to provide funds to Trump to continue existing, sure. But there is no chance that the Republicans will reign in big tech : they are big tech.

    You are leaving out the part where Andy Yen said that the tables have turned and the Republicans are now the party of the small people.

    Andy Yen’s statement is downright pathetic and misleading. People are right to stir up shit because that’s the only thing corpos understand.

    This isn’t a storm in a tea cup, this is the CEO of a company telling us who he really is and people choosing to tell him to get fucked.

    Your post reeks of astroturfing.


  • What fucking risks you fucks? Hiring people with the wrong skin colors?

    The news cycles since Trump won the election is fucking terrible. Every corporation is mask off and drop anything that might benefit the populace so that they go back to being cowboys and treat employees like shit.

    I want to personally say fuck you to everyone that voted for Trump. I hope that you and all the members of your close circle that voted for Trump die a painful death, after being economically fucked out of any little wealth you have.

    The world is better off without you cunts.
