Meanwhile, actual headline I saw in a paper from my city: Trump’s Tarriffs Spell Big Trouble for China!

In case anyone was wondering why there are no riots, it’s because most people are reading drivel like that.

MAGA doesn’t care. Because their objective per their Russian handlers. Is to destabilize the United States.

MAGA are traitors and we needed to send them to jail a long time ago. But now they run the government.

OK, so I get the headline for the US edition, but why is it the same in the UK/AU/CAD editions? Whose GDP, Tom's hardware?

Would you like to change your default thought process to United States?

I would point out that Microsoft raised process globally.

Somehow I think that everyone will be screwed because that's what corporations do.

Well, yeah. Half as much in Europe as in the US, it should be noted. But yeah, it does seem many corpos will either spread the US hit globally to mitigate the sticker shock in the US at the cost of giving some to everyone else (or just as a convenient excuse to squeeze more money out of people). It sucks.

But you would still have to report that you refer to global GDP or to global prices if that's what you meant. Those numbers are going to be different either way. And that's not what they are referring to anyway.

We upgraded all of our hardware, got spares, and signed up for extended warranty before the tariffs hit. Even is all goes back to normal eventually and we spent capital up front for nothing, businesses like ours need stability. Our day to day is chaotic enough without the added stress of not having functioning equipment because an senile orange buffoon decided to whip out his mushroom peen and proclaim that the world needs to bow down and worship his flaccid ego.

but for a beautiful while, a lot of grifting was possible - Trump

Only $69 billion really?

We should demand better game optimization and longer software support for our current hardware.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 days ago

It’ll have to happen if only because developers won’t be able to afford the hardware either.

The melt down over something like tech is funny context of things life health insurance and housing prices in recent history.

Where was all the shills when housing prices moon? Nobody cares about that hmmm
