A poster in Twitter called this ideology "Treatlerism" which i think it gets the point across, they care not from whence the treats flow, only that it flows

[–] DragonBallZinn@hexbear.net 44 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Wait, the treat meme gets used outside of Hexbear?

[–] fox@hexbear.net 50 points 2 years ago (3 children)

It originates with chapo trap house podcast iirc

Really hoping that trump actually goes ahead with his stupid plan to destroy the entire american economy

[–] Candidate@hexbear.net 37 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Intensely funny that Trump won because of rising prices, and his plan is to do the exact same thing, but on purpose and even worse.

How can I show my support to my favorite franchise if I have to pay $10 more for a pile of plastic?

[–] plinky@hexbear.net 35 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Send money in an envelope to mr. disney frozen head, like the ancestors did it

[–] mayo_cider@hexbear.net 27 points 2 years ago

[–] SteamedHamberder@hexbear.net 50 points 2 years ago

Death to America

[–] queermunist@lemmy.ml 44 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Wouldn't this massively increase the value of people's collections? Trump might pick up liberal supporters because of this lol

[–] polpotkin@hexbear.net 32 points 2 years ago (1 children)

We will likely see the cost of goods from China go up generally speaking because of rising labor costs in China. Additional tariffs will only be half the story for why everything will get more expensive in the next 4+ years.

[–] FuckyWucky@hexbear.net 29 points 2 years ago (2 children)

I think there will be some serious import undervaluation if such tarrifs were implemented.

[–] plinky@hexbear.net 32 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Oh yeah, this crate of plushy animals totally cost 30 bucks quokka-wink

china export will collapse (on paper)

[–] FuckyWucky@hexbear.net 18 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Yea that's the problem with trade controls without capital controls. You can still pay China pretty easily.

I guess Trump could expand the bureaucracy to catch mismatch between foreign currency transfers and trade but that will be "expensive" in that Government spending will go up.

[–] Runcible@hexbear.net 25 points 2 years ago

you don't have to do any fraud. Tariffs don't harm the exporter and if it is still cheaper to import with the tariff than to produce domestically the company can pass the full cost of the tariff on to the customer, or even additional to obscure the actual cost now that they have cover.

[–] plinky@hexbear.net 16 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

I mean if demand is high enough one might make offshore companies to process payments in untraceable manner for 5 % (at least that's around legal rate i believe). I just pay shp2usa, they pay someone else, they convert money to euros and pay in singapore, and my stuff arrives with printed price 0.3 $ per pound, customs are a joke due to speed of process

[–] LaGG_3@hexbear.net 18 points 2 years ago

Literally every time I've bought something of reasonable value from an Asian country the seller asks something like "what value do you want us to put on your import invoice?"

[–] Saoirse@hexbear.net 27 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Yesterday, I was an "eccentric" for hording and repairing laptops instead of just buying New Chip every year. But when an i3 shitbox costs you $1000 dollars, who will be laughing then? WHO WILL BE LAUGHING THEN?!

[–] Saoirse@hexbear.net 13 points 2 years ago (3 children)

Seriously though in a year you will not be able to afford a new computer so make sure you have something you can repair.

[–] uSSRI@hexbear.net 11 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Should I pull the trigger on building a pc now?

Fun-KOPE COPS

[–] JohnBrownsBawdy@hexbear.net 25 points 2 years ago

Imagine going to a convention and not being given post it note pads too small to write on and shirts that fall apart the first time you wash them. That’s Trumps America.

[–] FlakesBongler@hexbear.net 22 points 2 years ago (1 children)

And nothing of value was lost

[–] plinky@hexbear.net 17 points 2 years ago

Oh there would be a lot of value in labor arbitrage being lost all right
