America is Israel’s B word.

Who is paying the costs for that 104% tariff? Amazon is already cancelling orders.

That’s a 20% loss YTD. Why is this something to celebrate?

You mean one of the most influential economists in history, Nobel Prize winning Paul Krugman? That one?

That includes Elon, by the way.

It’s going away from the U.S. Countries like Japan and South Korea are already beginning to form trade pacts with each other. And Americans will suffer for it. What is “overpriced” to you?

I don’t understand how you can believe this in 2025. The grocery stores are full. You cannot stop globalism.

Oh, and since @Big Blitz thinks that this will somehow fix the housing market, that’s f-ed too. Especially when you make raw materials 25% more expensive.

Do you not think Wall Street affects Main Street? What the heck is wrong with you? As I’ve said before, I do not give the slightest ***** where my stuff is made so long as it’s abundant and affordable. Trump is erasing all of that.

Oh man he’s panicking lmao

The wake up call:

Funny, I’m working on a thread on MAGA’s shocking similarity to Maoism.

1) Okay, then why is Trump trying to make a deal with China? 2) We are “pissing our pants” because every metric, from oil prices to bond yields, is screaming “RECESSION.” 3) Trade deficits are utterly meaningless when you think about countries’ capacity to actually buy stuff compared to ours. Stop crying. 4) You aren’t fixing *****.

I love American workers, that’s why I want them to get better jobs than coal miner or factory worker.

They got one from…uh…Zimbabwe?

not great, Bob!

This is a disaster indication

Why do you hate the free market?

Who the hell wants coal in 2025? It’s not economically feasible against natural gas. This is another handout for a dead industry. Get ready for your meds to get twice as expensive!

I'm very confused by what you mean here. Are you saying that conservative protesters are paid?

https://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/2025/04/reinvigorating-americas-beautiful-clean-coal-industry-and-amending-executive-order-14241/ Okay, why is Trump so obsessed with coal? Even putting aside the fact that "clean coal" is an oxymoron, it's a completely dead industry! It's not profitable against natural gas or renewables, and the coal unions are so shrunken down that there isn't much of a job base for it anymore.

Unrelated but friendly reminder that "Gunther" here is actually David Freeman, a fat slob who managed to get himself fired from his job as a cop in Texas in three years for shady stuff.

Because Babbit refused orders to comply, broke a window and attempted to climb through it. Now she’s at the bottom level of hell with the rest of the traitors.
