Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.

Rules:

-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --

-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --

-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --

-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today/ . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--

-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

attempting to strong arm a country that imports nothing you have on tap, exports to you nearly everything you consume, and is sitting on stocks of raw materials that every country the world over is attempting to secure.

Well that's the point, isn't it? You put tariffs on the soybeans so that they stay in the US.

I wonder if anyone is gonna notice the tofu tasting better when they aren't using inferior amerikkka beans

[–] [email protected] 9 points 2 days ago

It sounds like they mainly used them for feeding pigs, sadly. At least it'll make meat products more expensive there.

[–] [email protected] 32 points 2 days ago

Mainly oil, agricultural products, and medical equipment.

I had to have learned about the costs of retooling machines before I was 20. I definitely knew MOVING a multi-ton delicate machine would cost thousands, if not hundreds of thousands of dollars. I knew that it would all take time and money to buy/build and train workers, and to spin up, and to rework logistic lines by like 25. How the fuck do people who don't know/care about "basic economics" get to the positions they do. I feel like I could run America's ~capitalist~ economy better and I can barely organize a factory in satisfactory.

I felt this same way when people said "running an economy in victoria 2 is hard". Literally don't do tariffs above 10% ever, build basic needs buildings, and you'll be fine 90% of the time. The other 10% will be because of engerland messing something up. Even in vic3, I could run Qing better even if I lost to GB, and I would be in an actual debt spiral. Like how tf does a dumb compsci nerd like me understand how to run a state better then all of these baboons. They have to be high on their own ideology.

Almost time for Trump to force rate cuts and to turn on the money printer again. One last bull run for US Empire. 2030s are going to suuuuuck in the US.
