US wants to slap 3,500% tariffs on solar panels.

Drill Baby Drill!
Mine Baby Mine!

Who cares if the Earth is burning up, flooding, running out of food, or whether there's even any coal left in the ground.

Today I ran an errand with a 4-hour drive. Since there was a day baseball game, I listened on the radio. Seems like every commercial break there was an ad for a car dealer saying something like: “Beat the tariffs and buy your new car now!” #tarriffs

I fear that Meloni's chomping of the gilded mushroom might come to naught. The thing about the EU is it's a Union. There are more than 20 other countries whose leaders probably aren't so keen to nosh the nazi's nob.

And again Trump is shooting the USA in its own foot...

According to many sources, Apple has airlifted 600 tonnes of iPhones from India to avoid Trump's tariffs.
No mention is made of China, that is still producing many more iPhones than India.
Is the Chinese iPhones now being shipped via India?

‘Truly a moron’: Musk escalates spat with Trump trade adviser as he divides with White House over tariffs | CNN Business

A bad job, done poorly... this whole administration should be sent home. But unfortunately, that is what the US system does not allow...

The Trump clown-show raised Chinese tarrifs to 145%
I predict China is going to issue a policy for industry to stop attaching "Made in China" labels to products.
China will be paying import tarrifs to USA that is a bit higher than 10%
(Other countries will export Chinese goods at 10% to USA and take a cut)

Donald Trump has declared a trade war against the entire world with the introduction of tariffs on all imports into the country.

While he may have paused many of these tariffs for 90 days, the trade war itself is still very much alive — and the working class is who will suffer.

All of this economic manipulation is making me think...

Has anyone ever created something that shows a real-world vendor booth market but operated as if were the stock market?

A real world visualization of all of the ways it's manipulated and manipulative?

@FantasticalEconomics

I'm so angry at my grocery store for selling me more food than they buy from me that I'm going to impose huge taxes on myself for the food I buy from them, so that I can't afford to buy as much food as I bought in the past. That will teach the grocery store not to sell me the food I want to buy from them!

I shot the tariffs

Singlehandedly killed the economy

MAGA chuds shop at Walmart.

Prices for just about everything at Walmart going to double this month.

Another downturn in the stock market.

And another set of glorified photos of stock brokers looking like a bunch of thermodynamic, Three-Body Problem physicists.
