You're making the mistake in that his intention is to improve things.
He doesn't have to make things better, he just has to say he has made them better. That's all he's ever done and it's worked.
he STILL doesn't have any understanding of how tarrifs work?
How do you STILL think this isn't all intentional? They know what they're doing. They don't care if we can afford it or not. This is about the conservatives' bottom line, lol. They don't care about you, America, China or whether any of it works.
It doesn't do anything for their bottom life because the tariff is something we pay TO CHINA
The tariffs got them elected. The fallout of them is a write-off and not their problem. They were the means to an end for votes and swaying opinions and they did their job.
I believe that he does, and he knows shit will cost more, but he ALSO knows that his followers have no clue whatsoever. So prices will increase, and he'll blame it on one of their many "others". Keeping them scared and mad is the key to their control over them
Some people want more expensive shit as long as its made in america or with american goods. Thats the point of a tariff.
Because he is so senile his brain can't follow a 3 step logic chain anymore.
Fuuuuuuuck me I wanted a new PC & a new laptop. How much time do I have before this hits?!
Things like this take a while to finalize, so you're good for now. Just wait until Black Friday to buy anything, since it's so soon and lots of computer stuff goes on sale.
New Ryzen 7 got released too. Looks cool
I hope Trump turns out to be the best president in history. Prove me wrong, conservatives. I want to hear how it's going by the fourth year.
I had similar thoughts in 2016 when he had a first attempt, and it was a dumpster fire. I'm not optimistic this time around.
Everyone who says he's not the best President ever will be shot.
I mean, what do you think? He announced that. Apparently this is what the US-Citizens want.
Used electronics go brrrrrr
You guys buy new? In Putin Russia we make our own laptops from dishwashers! ~~Imported from Ukraine!~~
More seriously, I use some i5-2700 desktop computer and just happy.
Used electronics you already own goes brrr Used electronics for sale will go up in price, because the seller needs money to buy new electronics or maybe food
Remember that you need a pretty new setup to get to run a windows OS that still receives updates. If we talk about computers that is.
Use linux.
I am almost there. I had so much problem with Linux on my server that i run back in the days that I said I never want to touch Linux again after last time i installed it. It broke a couple of years later and I knew I could not run windows but had read about Linux mint. Installed with no expectations and that was easier than windows. No problems, easy to config and I got everything to just work as I wish.
The step from going to Linux on my main computer is not far. I guess I will dual boot for a while since I play a lot of games and once I get accustomed to it I guess it will be my main. Fuck windows.
The average yank was ready to endorse genocide to preserve his first world lifestyle lmao what a bunch of sickos
I'm involved in the manufacturing sector. At recent trade shows, we've been hearing that a lot of companies were holding off on making decisions about purchasing goods and machinery until after the election, though no one was saying much specifically about what each candidate would mean for their decisions. This article seems to say the outlook isn't super rosy and his initiatives don't make a ton of sense.
I’m in manufacturing within China. While I’m not American and don’t work with American companies. Lots of our supply chain has said there is high levels of uncertainty in projects. Projects have been on hold for months.
Oh no, what will I ever do if I can't keep buying stuff I dont need.
"Americans might have trouble expressing greedy tendencies under a Trump presidency."
The entitlement of americans is absurd. Palestinian children are killed with made in america bombs while our population weeps over its loss of made in china electronics.
Clearly the american dream is dead if you can't replace your computer every year.
Your post right there? That's one of the reasons Harris lost.
Of course people (not just Americans) are selfish. Doesn't matter if it's good or not, that's just the factual truth. The Republicans knew how to work with that, by selling the voters a solution to the things that actually interested them. That's also what helped Obama ("Hope", though a bit vague) and Bill Clinton ("It's the economy, stupid") get elected (Yes, it also didn't hurt that they were rock stars). Now the Democrats are perceived not only as a party that's not willing to work on issues that concern them, but as actually criticizing them for wanting what they want.
