This Is How You Lose the Tariff War

Why China? How would that benefit us?

Why Ukraine and the millions of illegal immigrants, how would that benefit us? Be specific.

Turns out if I had the option to put my 401k shit into Bitcoin for the past decade or so, I'd be retired already.

For real! I remember this little nerdy Asian guy at work attempted to educate me on cryptocurrency & told me to buy Bitcoin way back in like 2010. I should have listened. To this day, I’m still a little skeptical as it has no real intrinsic value. It’s a me thing on my comfort & risk tolerance, but I concede it’s a great opportunity for many. I’ve witnessed many become wealthy trading it.

Since I work in financial services I’m restricted and regulated on trading, so for non-retirement investing I’ve found my niche in real estate where I don’t have to ask mother-may-I preclearence for every little action.

You ignorant fuck. How do you think Japan and Germany recovered from WWII? How do you think Korea recovered from the Korean War? Read a fucking history book or AT LEAST just shut the fuck up about things you don't understand. You know how I know you are a faggot who's never left the US? Dumb fucking statements like this.

Going on that point... Japan is one of the most successful examples of nation building. Germany was pretty damn good too. The difference between nation building after WW2, and what we do now and what they did in Vietnam, is that we had complete and utter surrender by the losing nation. We completely annihilated the Axis powers and their will to fight. They didn't have a fucking choice. We don't do that as much anymore because people complain that it is too destructive, even though the resulting insurgencies tend to be more destructive than if we just gave them total war in the first place.

I cant wait until they investigate Trump for market manipulation and open themselves up to investigation for the same.

This is the first time ever Trump has threatened tariffs. Everyone PANIC!!!

From 2019:
Trump backs off tariff threat, says Mexico will help stem tide of Central American migrants headed for the U.S.

You know he wrote a book called The Art of the Deal, right? This is a game of big bank take little bank to get what we want. While yes, a 25% tariff imposed on Mexico and Canada would be an inconvenience for the American consumer, imposing that would be absolutely devastating to the economies of Mexico & Canada. Guess what they’ll do? Exactly what we tell them to do, just like last time.

ClydeR, my offer still stands to school your feeble mind in the game of chess. You can even attempt to cheat and use chessvision.ai. It won’t matter. I’ll still embarrass you as you make repeated blunders.

No, he did not write that book.

The tariffs are good for BYD, China's rapidly growing electric vehicle company, and bad for U.S. auto makers. While U.S. auto makers are formulating plans to shift export production to factories outside the U.S. tariff system -- after a sufficient pause to see if Trump is serious this time -- BYD is taking this opportunity to expand its markets, as China moves to form trade alliances with alienated former U.S. allies. Inside the U.S., protectionism will raise prices, slow innovation and reduce quality.

The EU is eliminating tariffs on imported Chinese electric vehicles. As I predicted earlier, Trump's tariff war will boost the market share of BYD and other Chinese electric vehicles and decrease the market share of U.S. electric vehicles. You can't buy Chinese EVs in the US. Permitting Chinese EVs in the US might be the outcome of the tariff negotiations between Trump and China. Wouldn't that be something?

Since they're not available in the US, we have to rely on secondhand comparisons to US EVs. Here's a guy in Ireland reviewing one. He seems to like it.

If BYD were to ask my opinion, which they should, I would say get rid of the karaoke machines. We don't need that.

Both the US and China drive on the correct side of the road, unlike people in Europe. We should be able to find common ground.
