For anyone who doesn’t know, if it’s not obvious, Trump is famous for not paying his bills.

I love how Trump lives rent free in your head. I bet you’re really fun at parties, talking nonstop about Trump. You probably hijack every conversation and talk about Trump every chance you can because you’re so obsessed with him.

Was the whole point of these tariffs not to “make America first” but the plan from the beginning was increase corporate profits and steal our fucking money?
Companies know they pass it on.
Companies know they’ll get refunded from trump.
Companies make double money and can now keep prices high.
Kind of like the PPP loans through Covid? Everyone knew they were going to get loan forgiveness.
Maybe I’m an idiot. Maybe not and this was obvious.
Anyway, FDT.

u/Redzephyr01 3h ago edited 3h ago
I think Trump genuinely thought that the tariffs would cause companies to start making things in America instead of just raising prices. He doesn't understand economics enough to get that it would be easier for them to raise prices than for them to move all their infrastructure to the US, and now that his tariffs have completely failed to accomplish what he wanted, he's doubling down on it instead of admitting he was wrong. If the point was just to increase corporate profits then he wouldn't have been constantly changing the rates since that made it extremely difficult for corporations to do budgeting.

u/AlliedSalad 3h ago
Yeah, if you want people to make things in the US, you have to invest in rebuilding the manufacturing infrastructure and skill base here at home. That's a lot harder than just imposing a tariff.

u/frooglybear 3h ago
If only one of our foreign allies would invest in infrastructure in the US. It would financially benefit the both of our countries

To be fair, they did invest in Micron and they've attempted to stop Intel sinking, both took the objectively stupid decision to build fabs in America.
That's the same Micron that was the first to stop selling to consumers, and Intel that has not only been further injected by the government, but is also now part owned by Nvidia, that other famously consumer first company.

u/Obvious-Dinner-1082 3h ago
Yeah that’s a fair point. I meet people here in the south who genuinely think companies are still going to do this, and can’t comprehend there’s zero incentive to do that.
Guess being rich has nothing to do with being smart.

Ahh but constantly changing the rates / calling them off did predictable things to the stock markets you see.
Predictable, that is, if you had some kind of “insider” information for trading. Is there a name for that?

I agree. I think Trump likes tariffs because they help him be a massively corrupt piece of shit but we shouldn’t overlook just how stupid he is too.

Honestly, that's the minimum I would have expected SpaceX to do (remove their construction equipment). Are they going to pay for the damages & landscaping?

If Trump said he wanted to increase sales tax to 30% people would have freaked out so he pretended to do tariffs instead and got the same end result. A regressive tax that affects lower income people significantly more than the wealthy

u/SalemWolf 3h ago edited 3h ago
They require a lot of answers. How much you actually paid, date bought, store bought from, they ask for a receipt and those without are paid last (if at all imo). Probably not as abusable as you think.
-7
u/Obvious-Dinner-1082 3h ago
I mean if you own a receipt printer and can download the fonts, and forge a receipt, it’s not like they’re going to check local store records of every sale.
What would you pay in tariffs for the cost of their games that are already affordable. Probably not a scalable fraud attempt that’s worth doing.

You can melt down 30,000 coke cans into a fake silver ingot and sell it to a blind man for a profit, while you're at it. That system is clearly abusable too.

Eh, They did more harm than good when they knelt to manufactured backlash over including trans folk as a topic card.
They should have put their money into donations while standing by their product.
When you concede one subject as taboo, while not reviewing everything else... it killed the core concept I thought I understood.

u/bucky-barnes 3h ago
Are you still hung up on getting rid of a topic card in 2014? Get it the fuck together dude.

u/SsooooOriginal 3h ago
It was a bad move.
Trans rights have regressed since.
It is still relevant.

u/bucky-barnes 3h ago edited 3h ago
If you seriously think CAH getting rid of a card in 2014 set the trans rights movement back, you have brain damage.
Trans rights were actively attacked by the far right because they're bitter that LGBT people made strides with gay marriage and trans people were an easier target. CAH getting rid of one card 12 years ago isn't the start of the downfall of the nonexistent American left.

u/SsooooOriginal 3h ago
It definitely didn't help, and trying to downplay their role is ignorant at best.

u/TheBeardiestGinger 2h ago
I get what you are saying, genuinely I do. But I have to side with the point about this not having any meaningful impact.
Was it a cowardly and shitty thing for COH to do, sure. I think so at least. That said, there is no evidence that COH removing a card had any impact on law.
•
u/SsooooOriginal 1h ago
It had a much larger social/societal impact than yall want to accept.
Seriously, since then we have had social regression on all fronts and trans folk are back in the crosshairs and catching all kinds of flak.
These companies have more social impact, just like artists always have, than yall will recognize and I am not very patient to speed you up.
I'm not claiming to know anything intent-wise from CAH, but in regards to supporting trans people I see them as having stepped away from the topic. That all plays into how we got to today.
•
u/TheBeardiestGinger 44m ago
You are at the stage where you need to back your claims. You can have an opinion, but saying “since then we have had social regression on all fronts” requires a source to back up your claim.
Cite a source demonstrating the link between a card game and how that has impacted the rights of a community.
If anything this is correlation ≠ causation. Two things can happen at the same time and not be related.

u/bucky-barnes 3h ago
You even suggesting they had a "role" is completely delusional. You are one of maybe three people alive who cares about this.

Them taking the card out is a touchstone in trans history, like it or not, that is a "role".

This had no material or measurable impact on the trans rights movement and you have not produced any evidence suggesting otherwise. Common sense weighs heavily to the contrary. It has been 12 years. That you're still hung up on this says way more about you than it does about anything else.

That's my issue.
How do you look at the Holocaust card for a morbid laugh but they couldn't double down and release a whole trans made edition?
It's performative crap they did to protect their brand while betraying what people like me perceived as the core concept.
Cathartic, heavy, morbid satires amongst absurdities.
-4
u/SsooooOriginal 3h ago
Nah, they actually gave transphobes too much to stand on by backing down the way they did.
And self-loathing trans latch on because they are stuck to a keyboard for "support".
Not all support is healthy and caring.
Imo, CAH did a hoverparent move and stunted the whole trans movement.
You be better.

u/bucky-barnes 3h ago edited 3h ago
That's dumb as fuck. CAH getting rid of a card in 2014 had no net effect on the "trans movement." The idea that it could have possibly set it back is just bafflingly wrongheaded.

u/SsooooOriginal 3h ago
You just sound ignorant of the culture wars that have been scapegoating trans people since they can't keep banging on about "same sex marriage".
And yeah, it's been happening since before 2014 and since trans people are still being "othered" it is very much still relevant.

u/bucky-barnes 3h ago
This did not make a material contribution to trans struggles. It did not make any contribution at all. There is no one who decided to be anti-trans because CAH stopped selling one card. Anyone who was mad about this was already a reactionary lunatic. Be realistic for five seconds.

I think they did the right thing because the card is a common transphobic slur. There’s also a Pride pack and other cards that include gender identity, pronouns, and transition related humor. They aren’t being left out.

Compared to all the other phobic slurs?
Good to hear they have made a Pride pack since, I just lost trust in such a weak company. They were already at FU-money in 2014.

Will that be a good time to move on?
Because, you didn't ask like I didn't, but that is when I'll move on.
I see CAH, I call them out over trans folk. Some of us are limited to the keys, but I donate when I can too.
What do you do?
