This seems pretty important to crowdsource and talk about, so I’m gonna go ahead and risk violating the no politics rule from a few days ago, because I don’t see a better community to ask this. My defense for it not “being politics” is, I’m asking you to keep it to purchasing decisions and how the details of how the tariffs are likely to work, as opposed to who did what. This thread has the potential to save people lots of money if it gets big!
Tariffs are gonna make things more expensive for Americans; what are you planning on buying now instead of later, or stockpiling a little of?
I’m holding off and waiting for tariffs in the US to make prices lower where I live by reducing demand.
I dont understand, how will prices raising lower the demand until it was cheaper than before prices rose?Ohhh you don’t live in this dumpster fire, lucky
Zactly. And if retaliatory tariffs come in to increase prices of American products, our exports should become more valuable and increase foreign reserves to strengthen our currency and improve our buying power on imports.
I assume that fat cunt will add tariffs on our stuff as well, so we’ll work on disentangling ourselves from US dependency, and open markets elsewhere, which is good. That’ll raise more prices for you and inflation should become rampant in the US, and weaken the USD.
Hate to see what’s happening down there, but in the short term, it’s probably good for us as the US steps on its dick for a few years.
Trust me, the US economy unraveling will be felt by everyone, do you think a country this big, and so militaristic is not going to make our economy everyone elses problem. Half of the reason I’ve cited for not wanting children is that I’m not trying to raise a kid to watch them die in the next global catastrophe we are racing full speed towards…
It’s infuriating how ignorant the majority of our country is to the state of affairs…
But hey, at least our 401k’s grew a bunch before the dollar became worthless…
