• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Walmart says it will raise prices due to tariff costs after posting solid first quarter sales⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  China isn’t paying the tariffs. And companies aren’t paying the tariffs. It all depends on the American consumer paying the tariffs.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Trump says US to lift Syria sanctions, ending years of Washington’s policy⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Well, one guess where Trump’s next golf course will be built.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨WHO warns of permanent impact of hunger on a generation of Gazans⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s only if this generation even survives. Israel is purposely killing off the Palestinians.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Patriot anti-missile system to be sent from Israel to Ukraine⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Defend Ukraine!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Friedrich Merz warns the US to ‘stay out’ of Germany’s politics⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Good. More world leaders need to say the same thing to short-fingered Trump.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Second US Navy jet is lost at sea from Truman aircraft carrier⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  The wouldn’t have happened if Trump’s finger’s weren’t so short.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨American tourist impales himself on spike at Colosseum in Rome - Los Angeles Times⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Oh look, an American who doesn’t respect a wall.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Zelenskyy vows to make Russia “feel the war” as missile program heats up⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Save Ukraine!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨UN body warns over Trump's deep-sea mining order⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Oh no, not a warning! Trump might glance up from his well done steak covered in ketchup.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨U.S. will be absent from Vietnam's war anniversary parade.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Those bone spurs show up at the worst time. The one single medical problem of the 78 year old with medical stats of a 23 year old athlete.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Shein Hikes Prices by Up to 377% Thanks to Trump’s Tariffs War⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  This is the plan, and the plan is for the high prices to continue forever so that the federal income tax can be repealed, (mostly for the ultra wealthy).

  Trump specifically wants high prices, via tariffs, to be paid by the average American so the federal income tax can be repealed.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Shein Hikes Prices by Up to 377% Thanks to Trump’s Tariffs War⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I wonder if there will be a tiny surge in virtual post office boxes just across the Mexico and Canada borders. So American individuals will get items shipped to the virtual post office boxes, then cross to that country, and smuggle the items back into the us.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨France drops sharp bombs in Sweden in show of force to Russia, strengthening defence ties⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Good work. I wish Biden had been this forward. Glad to see others making progress in their defense.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Trump says U.S. ships should be allowed to travel through the Panama and Suez canals for free⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Trump is going to try and choke the world with the Panama Canal. The world needs to recognize this as an attack and prepare to defend their access to free trade with their military.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Trump says U.S. ships should be allowed to travel through the Panama and Suez canals for free⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The same Republican playbook for decades: cut money going to a service, the service has problems operating, the republicans blame liberals, and then the republicans privatize it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Trump says U.S. ships should be allowed to travel through the Panama and Suez canals for free⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Trump also says he wants to date his teenage daughter.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Trump says 'Crimea will stay with Russia' in latest interview⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Trump isn’t doing anything, anyway, except wasting Ukraine’s time.

  Let Ukraine spend time with a country with a competent leader who can actually accomplish something.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Houthi rebels shoot down 7 US military Reaper drones worth $334m, in recent weeks⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Houthi rebels didn’t shoot down any US drones when Obama was president.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Trump: Russia not taking over Ukraine is a concession⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  This whole war is about Russia trying to take something that isn’t theirs to begin with. At a minimum, Russia should get nothing.

  Although I would call it a concession if I promised to not piss on Trump’s grave.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why is the NFL draft day so "special"?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  What else is there for people to do?

  Read, learn something new, show empathy to other humans, glance at what politicians are doing (regardless of MAGA)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨China invites European countries to form united front against Trump tariffs⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Is the world going to switch to using Mandarin for the universal language?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Tatars vow to oppose any recognition of Crimea as Russian⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Good! Because it isn’t part of Russia.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨American vision care non-profit moving to Manitoba as U.S. tariffs drive up costs⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Best wishes for them to protect themselves and continue to help people!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Zelensky rules out recognizing Crimea as Russian, warns against playing into Putin's 'game'⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Good! He’s right.

  I was very pissed Obama didn’t do anything that I know of against Russia for this.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨China asks Korea not to export products using rare earths to US defense firms, paper reports⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Sucks to be the US.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Metro 2033 Redux is free to claim on GOG for the next two days⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Um, that’s pretty awesome!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do you use your blinker in a car?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Hey, it’s your life. If you want to use your blinker so that it is easier to get an opening, and so people are more likely to avoid hitting you, well, that’s your choice.

  Also, the results in here will be survivor biased. The people in wrecks because they didn’t use their blinker are too busy dealing with insurance and repair times and rental cars to be on Lemmy. They are also busy having to remind people that they are the most important person on the road.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Panama deal allows US to deploy troops to canal⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Wow, I didn’t know Panama’s president José Raúl Mulino is so weak.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How wil people react if Trump is right about Tariffs?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Probably MAGAs will feel so vindicated they will literally start murdering people opposed to Trump.

  We’ve already seen quite a few shooting, and attacking the Capitol, and most of the people getting off mostly free.

  So we’ll see even more of it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Seeing a lot of copium but am I fucking crazy? The market would have to do more than just recover for people to recoup their losses?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Some people already sold off at the lower price before it gets lower.

  Companies already had to make equipment orders and revenue predictions, which caused suppliers to fire extra people.

  And confidence has already been shaken since this could happen again at any time.

  Companies are now increasing plans to downsize to deal with the uncertainty.

  And the ultra rich are ready to start buying at the lower price. So that if the prices returned to last week, the percentage of differences of wealth from the ultra wealthy to the regular will be even higher.
