Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today/ . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

~~There's no indication that tariffs are going to be followed by an announcement of massive financing or investment into industrial capacity in the United States. Even if they released the news Wednesday, it would take years to take effect. The most likely outcome is that the economy starts to shit itself. The stock market, by no means the economy itself, will start to mirror anxiety and concerns about consumer confidence, revenue, and income. Companies already laying off people due to high interest rate on loans (which is how they make payroll) will look to cut more people, as inflation, and the Fed's possible rate increase to counteract it, will bring the economy to stagflation, net 0 or sub 2% growth and ramped up inflation.~~
~~Now Trump is an opportunist, unlike Kamala who didn't believe in anything, Trump will grab whatever works. If the tariffs start to collapse the economy, my assumption is that he'll try something deemed "controversial" like using war power acts to claim control of production at home. Most likely he'll start fielding phone calls from all the oligarchs begging him to cut this and that company, this and that industry a break, which he might or might not acquiesce to depending on how ugly they are, or how beautiful their industry are.~~
False alarm, lmao
