All while those in power seek more power. Fighting back as a rep becomes harder, not easier when the rule of law is ignored.

Being able to circumvent their measures doesn’t mean they aren’t actively trying to increase harms for residents.

Die nazi

Sorry, I
Should have specified. These tariffs are designed to reduce supply. Tariffs of 125% are designed to get foreign sellers to abandon the market. That is what has happened reducing supply.

They are also triggering boycotts overseas, reducing demand.

You’re thinking it’s a zero sim game in terms of production and pricing, when elastic. When prices rise, outside of their control, producers seek other markets or produce different products.

The purpose of tariffs is to reduce supply, and allow local producers to increase costs without facing competition. So, supply will be affected, no matter what.

Add money with reduced supply and you get inflation. Already countries are looking to increase trade with each other in lieu of trade with the USA. China on particular has been talking to all the Asian producers to reassure and warn against demaking with the USA. They are now the trustworthy partner.

The recession is going to come from a loss of commodities. From a loss of trade, including the components essential for domestic production. Those prices are going to rise. Jobs will be lost. All the while, all exporters to the USA will increase their prices in response to USD fall on value so that their margins in their currency remain the same.

Sure, the falling dollar, in normal circumstances would make American products more attractive, but all other countries are now imposing tariffs on the USA in response. Some, like the EU, have not done it across the board, but they will ramp up. China and USA have effectively planned to cease trade. America doesn’t have the high tech supply chain they need to compete with Chinese products internationally.

As the recession will lead to job losses, wages will have downward pressure, not up, like in every other recession.

The fact that you remain unwilling to listen and have made up your mind to remain I’ll informed os a poor decision.

Firstly, the value of the dollar decreasing will increase the cost, in dollars, of all imports. The tariffs on top will add to this inflation.

Printing money doesn’t automatically lead to inflation but in a recession environment where less is being produced, it certainly does. The quantitative easing and money printing workdwide, due covid, led to the crazy inflation we saw. Certainly supply was a problem, but a reduction in trade between 2 giant economies is also going to cause those kinds of bottlenecks.

Add loss of faith in the dollar and this multiplies. Trump is destroying the dollars purchasing power which leads to inflation. All the while he’s killing jobs in public sector and private sector at the same time.

Yes, all sex he has is transactional. He’s not seducing anyone.

They can certainly issue new dollars to pay them, but if they flood the market with new dollars, the value of the dollar drops, and inflation rises and market loses even more confidence in the value of the dollar.

The value of having a stable economy with stable dollar was ability to issue bonds on that amount. Nobody wants to get Russian ruble bonds atm. That isn’t quite the case for the USA, but the market of buyers has shrunk.

Aujourd’hui means today. You’re looking for: s’il vous/te plait.

In German, bitte is please (and part of you’re welcome) but regenbogen means 🌈, so youre still spreading happiness.

I remember I once told a German person ‘ich besuche dich diese wochenende.’ I’ll visit you this weekend. I meant to wish them a nice weekend. They were quite surprised as we met in a professional work setting, not social, lol.

For me: English, Irish, french, German, Indonesian, Malaysian (same as Indonesian), japanese I’ve thank you in Turkish, Thai,

For Irish Please is: le do thoil (é). Translates as; by your will (it). Pronounce : le duh hull ay.

For thank you: Go raibh (míle) maith agat. Translates as may (a thousand) good things be/fall upon you. Pronounce : guh rev mee-la moh a-gut

For pronunciation, I’m using Munster dialect. It can be quite different for other dialects.

Other languages seem to be covered by others, so I thought I’d add the Irish in more detail.

Generally, people in poorer countries have more children. It’s a necessity for survival. They need the children to care for them in their old age. There is no pension, or Medicare or healthcare or nursing homes. Instead the family shares the load. In wealthier countries, we are meant to pay for 8t in conjunction with available social services and programs.

However, all things being equal, people have less children if they are pessimistic about the future.

So subtle bigotry is ok? What is the purpose of wearing a uniform visual identifier for a cause? It’s for people to see it. They were spreading hate against a child and refused to stop when asked by the school authorities.

That’s pretty sick and twisted.

Ignoring all signs that the court will be powerless by then. They are already being ignored. Kicking up no fuss is step one to reducing their legitimacy and ability to create problems for attempts to circumvent another coup.

It would be better to have a constitutional crisis now rather than in 2 years when he’s consolidated more power and yes men, kicking out resistance from other institutions.

I have no doubt they’ll take the cowards route or take money to take the cowards route.

I think it’s a valid point that the concern being raised about tik tok is just as valid with other apps, both from Facebook or Twitter etc and from overseas apps. People are happily giving up their data and don’t see a distinction in how it is being used for disinformation by different state actors. It’s all misinformation.

People are apathetic to the risk, but also don’t see the risk for foreign government snooping as significantly higher than internal snooping.
