Trumpenomics

@Renauda said in Trumpenomics:

@89th

At the level given, it does smack of statist micromanagement.

It certainly does. Also rather of flailing.

Fjord Motors? Sounds European. I only care about American car companies.

There's a man who pronounces the 't' in Chevrolet, so that it rhymes with toilet.

You know, if all of these other places would just become a part of the US, there wouldn’t be any more tariffs. Problem solved.

[Renauda]

We are not amused.

[LuFins Dad]

Come on… You know deep down that you really want to…

[LuFins Dad]

Seriously, is there anything to this Alberta NEXIT push?

[Renauda]

Ask the bitch we call Premier.

Not in this household there is not, and nor will there be.

“ Look. Instead of having three iPhones you’ll have to be happy sharing an iPhone. You could attach a cord to it and hang on the wall. Would that be so bad?”

Second best comment:

“ Tariffs are simply the name we give to the things we choose to do together.”

Imagine pretending to think that China would pay $145 to the US government for the honor of selling me a $100 item.

It would literally be cheaper to just send us the shit for free.

There are some first rate Speech Pathology clinics out there that specialize in stuttering mitigation therapies.

If there were a case to be made that the tariffs would increase long term prosperity, even with some short term pain, so be it, but they never make any such case. They just make the claim. And almost every expert in the world makes the case about why they're wrong.

There have to be people in the administration who talk the "party line" and then go home and have a strong gargle with salt water to clear out their mouth. Not sure who these people are however.

Good news, chaps - we'll soon be able to afford to own British cars. Because if there's one thing I miss about blighty it's standing there in the pouring fucking rain trying to get the bloody thing to start.

Trump reduces tarriff on British cars, steel and aluminium to 10%

You only get a 'u' with aluminium
