- Comment on Commerce Secretary Lutnick says tariff exemptions for electronics are only temporary: Lutnick said "semiconductor tariffs" will likely come in "a month or two.". 2 weeks ago:
Your right. It could be both. I mean, my wife said to me the other day that she heard Trump was doing the tariffs to lower the bond interest rates. I said while in some types of recessions that’s true, that wouldn’t work in this case and you’d have to be an idiot to think it would. Sure enough the next day Trump puts a stay on tariffs to most of the world because the bond market got rocked. All I could think of is omg, are they really that fucking stupid?

I wish it was that. No, this is actual evil, not incompetence. Trump has turned the US economy into the largest pump and dump scheme ever. Worse, he’s bragging about how his friends made billions. I can’t even believe this is happening. I’m in utter shock. I knew Trump would be bad, but straight up flaunting corruption like it’s a joke and even bringing the SCOTUS on board with this. I’m just gob smacked.
- Comment on iPhones were already losing ground in China. Then came Trump’s tariffs: Consumers ditch Apple for more advanced features and to support Chinese brands. 3 weeks ago:
You don’t understand. Chinese companies have been preparing for this for almost a decade now thanks to US policies. Here’s manufacturing locations just for Moto.

How much is it really made in Brazil? Enough to by pass the tariffs.
This is transhipment. China has been building an enormous transhipment network with those countries heavily dependent on Chinese heavy machinery and services. They expected this, they prepared for this. It’s the US companies that tried to obey their own countries rules that are susceptible. Even Samsung has been working with China to create these networks. Soon, I would estimate, Apple will as well. The problem is, if you thought Tik Tok was a national security issue, forcing every US company to use Chinese logistics to fight your own countries tariffs…

Well, it’s not hyperbolic because as I’ve said, sadly in life we’ve seen humans over consume far too many times.
I mean the best example I can give is climate change. It’s very clear our over consumption of oils is destroying our environment. But humanities reaction thus far has shown to basically call it an exaggeration and ignore the problem. If keep saying human over consumption is hyperbolic, that’s how we get president Trump.
- Comment on Fucking leeches 1 month ago:
What do you find hyperbolic about this? In fact, it’s not even the first time it would happen. Why aren’t there Dodo birds, or California red legged frogs? Why are we concerned about Blue fin tuna or sustainable seafood at all? We have a long history of humans deciding something is good and too many of us eat it, build on it, over fish it etc… How would land lording be any different or hyperbolic?

Huh? I’m saying if everyone dropped whatever it is they normally do and instead all do the same exact thing, it would ruin an economy. We need diversity regardless of whatever else is happening. We couldn’t survive if everyone became farmers and no one become engineers. So ultimately, it’s a pointless statement to say if everyone did anything, such as landlording, the economy would be ruined.
- Comment on Fucking leeches 1 month ago:
That guy said what I was pointing out. Also, it’s not a hyperbole, it would absolutely destroy the economy if everyone did the same thing regardless of what that thing is. Even if everyone decided eating chicken would be the only protein that we eat would destroy the economy. Which is why I added my edit. It’s not just about a profession, but anything, literally anything done in unison by every other human would wreck an economy.
- Comment on Fucking leeches 1 month ago:
What? Your comment doesn’t make sense. If everyone did any profession solely we would destroy the economy. If everyone became doctors, there would be no engineers or pilots. We would still be doomed. A diversity of vocations are necessary regardless of which vocation.
- Comment on Now that Trump is getting real chummy with Putin where does that leave China? 1 month ago:
No one knows. Here’s a video of Trump from a few days ago saying he’s willing to concede Taiwan.
With that offer on the table, who knows how much China would be willing to pay Trump. Trump is just in it for himself. He just put a trillion dollar chip on the bargaining table.
- Comment on RedNote may wall off “TikTok refugees” to prevent US influence on Chinese users 3 months ago:
I’m not sure what your trying to say. Rednote was always censored. Are you talking about Tik Tok?
Here’s a whole list of videos on tik tok about tiananmen with multiple videos showing tankman.

And here’s niaomi’s tik tok
- Comment on RedNote may wall off “TikTok refugees” to prevent US influence on Chinese users 3 months ago:
That’s the funny part. As they’re discovering with RedNote, Tik Tok wasn’t censored by China. It actually was it’s own entity and did it’s own thing. That was a company decision because they thought it would make more money, and they were right.
- Comment on RedNote may wall off “TikTok refugees” to prevent US influence on Chinese users 3 months ago:
Those will stay rumors. Thinking the CCP will wall off Americans shows a complete lack of understanding China. Since as the article noted, if you don’t follow the rules you’ll be banned, there’s no way the government will try to wall off anyone. Hell, China didn’t even want to ban Google. They asked Google to put in the rules that rednote has. Google refused, the firewall blocks Google until they abide by the rules. If Google ever just follows the rules like Microsoft, they’re more than welcome to come back. If there’s any segregation it will be because the server’s are overwhelmed.
