OT: Tariff Economics Discussion

[fatpiggy]

This is why the democrats won’t post rhe actual inflation numbers

They are all losing their minds over inflation …… that isn’t there. And they can’t stand it

Oh what a simpleton. You think inflation works that fast when tariffs were implemented in April?

Also you boast about mortgage rates as well. How’s that looking right now?

I’ll answer for you before you bring up some nonsensical argument. It’s up faster than it has been in the past year. Hmmmm.

I keep posting about how closely we are trending in the direction of Russia.

The media with government access is now pretty much there.

Now trying to take control of the fomc with attempt to fire Powell.

MAGA is incapable of acknowledging how Trump’s first 100 days have been the most anti-democratic in our nation’s history. It’s not hyperbole.

But you can read thread like these to understand why - MAGA posters like @fatpiggy and @TigerGrowls post from a social media echo chamber and are incapable of engaging in intelligent debate. Unfortunately a significant number of Americans are simply uneducated, unintelligent, and/or uninterested.

Respectfully asked you to stop posting on this topic - you said you were willing to engage in debate but you completely folded when prompted with actual facts and sincere questions.

The data in the above tweet is factually incorrect. You don’t understand the basic concept of inflation, so you never had a chance with tariffs.

I love when MAGA has to address topics with facts and data as opposed to social issues - it exposes their collective idiocy!

Describe exactly what playing field needs to be leveled.

What we have done so far is cause more damage to ourselves without any clear path to a tangible goal.

I see you KNOW NOTHING as Sargeant Schultz used to say on the comedy Stalag 13 back in the 60's on B AND W TV

Just to get you started GOOGLE the following. China or Chinese stealing Intellectual Property of United States

Estimated at least $500,000,000.00 and probably a lot more in losses of Intellectual property

That is a start. That alone will occupy you for months if not years on the Chinese Thief of American Intellectual Property

But I doubt you will take the time to educate yourself on this massive property stealing

THIS IS LEVEL PLAYING FIELD # 1

I HOPE THIS HELPS WITH YOUR QUESTION

I see the elephant from the butt end where Biden, Democrats, deep state and other leftist and liberals wingnuts have pushed agendas that are weird beyond human understanding

MY ANSWER IS THE GREATEST REBIRTH OF DEMOCRACY IS NOW UNDERWAY

THE MUTILATION AND KILLING OF DEMOCRACY IS OVER

THE GOLDEN AGE OF AMERICA IS FOLLOWING THE DARKNESS THE SATANIC CABAL PUT UPON AMERICA

LOVING THE TRUMP TRAIN GO SLOW AND GO LONG BABY

 

[PalmettoTiger1]

If the will of the people can’t be implemented, massive change is needed.

All the dirty tricks from the past are catching up to democrats now.

As an outside observer I would suggest trying to compete by putting forth a better candidate as opposed to trying to slow down Trump.

Can yall get someone that will fight FOR us Americans?

Senator Van Hollan of Maryland wants the terrorist gang to be embedded is his home state of Maryland to rob, rape, murder and pillage Americans

Visit the terrorist but not mention the dead mother of 5 children who was HIS CONSTITUENT while the El Salvadorian is illegal and NOT HIS CONSTITUENT

Democrats for TERRORISTS

You crawled out of your hole an even bigger piece of shit than when you entered it. Who the fvck are you to talk to people this way? I guarantee there are people smarter and more successful than you in this board who voted for Trump. But you are a rage-filled, vitriolic weirdo ranting and raving like you have some position of superiority. You don’t.

Trump talks a LOT WORSE about people than this. Don't clutch your pearls. His point is valid.

 

[firegiver]

These guys want to pretend we should keep listening to the “experts” who have shredded our middle class.

The same ones who say “Tax the rich” and then start talking about people making over $250k


They hate on Billionaires, but when it comes time to tax they want to tax the average Joe to oblivion.

No thanks. I’m ready to try something new. And no I won’t agree with kick the can of your sham economy down the road any longer.

I thought Kamala's policy to increase taxes on anyone over 400k was stupid. It should be around 2 -4 million. But we should increase taxes on the super wealthy. I'll give you it was dumb. But you got called out in this thread and said: Where do we put the money? Go ahead. Play the game because Im honestly interested in seeing the debate

I think its simple: like coke or pepsi, people chose their flavor now and just surround themselves with the content that supports it. I think the social media effect has been like a wildfire, destroying an already flimsy community aspect that people once respected in this country. That above all, we should do whats right for each other. Thats something we came out of WWII with. We united to fight fascism and win. Together.
Now, people will cloak themselves in the flag and the cross and tear down democracy if that means brown people or gay folks don't have what they have. Because the 'other' is so scary to them.

I think social media allows We The People to disrupt the government corruption.

Information flows too freely and they lost control of the narrative.

They have been fleecing us for years.

The income tax started out as 1% and now goes as high as 50% in some states.

We have lost our way. Tax and spend with NO accountability whatsoever. Both parties are equally responsible.

You can partly be right about that and also be completely mislead by the 'information' you are consuming. Both are true.
Theres so much BS on social media that isn't true that I see my relatives sharing, just because it falls in line with their rampant view that libs are EVIL. They are radicalizing themselves with lies and its a downward spiral.

I think the stock will get crushed Wednesday. You will be happy.

Cybertruck sales have been disappointing, but that is not a needle mover on the stock.

Tesla will have to pull a rabbit out of their hat for Wall Street Wednesday.

Elon needs to deliver FSD.

FSD is here but I don’t expect the earnings from it to hit the balance sheet until late 2026.


Is there a new low cost model? Doesn’t look like it. Stripped down model y? Maybe.

But FSD will start in Austin in June, but I expect a slow roll out.

FSD is simply amazing.

 

[okclem]

How are we coming on that 90 deals in 90 days, Maga?

Tesla is finished. The world isn't going to buy cars from a nazi.

Am I wrong or do I recall you saying Trump would never be elected

Just asking for a friend! LOL

[fatpiggy]

Tesla is finished. The world isn't going to buy cars from a nazi.

I’ve bought 3 of them 🤷‍♂️

It’s the cheapest car to operate on the road and it outperforms anything within $30,000 of its cost.

A $50,000 Tesla is better than an $80,000 BMW.

Not going to argue about it. You will see.

 

[fatpiggy]

Just drove my Tesla 8 hours. Didn’t touch the wheel. I could have slept the whole way.

FSD Is already here. It’s coming to the masses. It’s amazing.

He's already blaming Powell. He literally claims Powell is making the economy slow... Completely ignoring the small part of a global trade war he decided to start.

It's become increasingly clear he doesn't know wtf he's doing. Lower interest rates and inflation from tariffs will be a disaster and if he fires Powell, that would also be a nightmare for the markets. The only safe thing to do is to retreat from this non-sensical trade war and keep his mouth shut - things he would never do...

He will never admit that he screwed this up. He's gonna fire someone soon that he can blame.

I'm not even kidding when I say this - he needs to be impeached before he sends us into a full-blown depression.

If it wasn't such an awful thing that would cause massive upheaval and distress, it would almost be funny to watch. Talk about the ultimate ,"Told you So"

It would also be interesting to see at what point the MAGA mice start jumping off the train.

Not sure but corporate America is going to start barking soon and Republicans may have no choice. Will they stay on the Trump train when they see their chances of re-election cratering?

We know Trump doesn't care. He's not running again. Vance though.... He's fairly young to be anchored to this shit, and we know he has no actual integrity, since he can switch on a dime when it suits him.

Honest question. We know that you fell Trump knows what he is doing and ultimately will be successful.

Is there a point that it could reach where you would be concerned? Like if the NYSE hit sub 30k, or we had a recession? Is there anything that would make you question?

You know the answer - he wouldn't care if Trump started a large-scale nuclear war that plunged us into nuclear winter - he'd still support him. It's almost like he thinks Donny will be the one waiting for him at the pearly gates.
