Really hoping that trump actually goes ahead with his stupid plan to destroy the entire american economy

[-] Candidate@hexbear.net 38 points 4 days ago

Intensely funny that Trump won because of rising prices, and his plan is to do the exact same thing, but on purpose and even worse.

[-] driving_crooner@lemmy.eco.br 12 points 3 days ago

You know the dems wanted to lost the election or they would be hammered down that tariffs = taxes

[-] BakerBagel@midwest.social 13 points 3 days ago

[-] CliffordBigRedDog@hexbear.net 22 points 3 days ago

A poster in Twitter called this ideology "Treatlerism" which i think it gets the point across, they care not from whence the treats flow, only that it flows

[-] DragonBallZinn@hexbear.net 47 points 4 days ago

Wait, the treat meme gets used outside of Hexbear?

[-] fox@hexbear.net 52 points 4 days ago

It originates with chapo trap house podcast iirc

[-] comrade_pibb@hexbear.net 43 points 4 days ago

Our large treat boy son was patient zero

[-] SchillMenaker@hexbear.net 17 points 4 days ago

I'm gonna need a citation on that one

[-] ComradeMonotreme@hexbear.net 12 points 3 days ago

Treatlerite particles.

[-] FALGSConaut@hexbear.net 49 points 4 days ago

Trump will tariff away funko pops

heartbreaking I hate it when broken clocks are based

[-] brainw0rms@hexbear.net 61 points 4 days ago

critical support. it's funkover

[-] mayo_cider@hexbear.net 53 points 4 days ago

How can I show my support to my favorite franchise if I have to pay $10 more for a pile of plastic?

[-] plinky@hexbear.net 35 points 4 days ago

Send money in an envelope to mr. disney frozen head, like the ancestors did it

[-] mayo_cider@hexbear.net 27 points 4 days ago

Do I get treats in return?

[-] 2Password2Remember@hexbear.net 48 points 4 days ago

Death to America

[-] SteamedHamberder@hexbear.net 51 points 4 days ago

First they came for the branded swag but I said nothing

[-] queermunist@lemmy.ml 44 points 4 days ago

Wouldn't this massively increase the value of people's collections? Trump might pick up liberal supporters because of this lol

[-] polpotkin@hexbear.net 32 points 4 days ago

We will likely see the cost of goods from China go up generally speaking because of rising labor costs in China. Additional tariffs will only be half the story for why everything will get more expensive in the next 4+ years.

[-] vovchik_ilich@hexbear.net 37 points 4 days ago

rising labor costs

cost of goods go up

I smile when I encounter the Labour Theory of Value

[-] DragonBallZinn@hexbear.net 33 points 4 days ago

MFW people who argue that we should not raise the minimum wage or else consumer prices will go up ironically argue for the Labor Theory of Value.

Yesterday, I was an "eccentric" for hording and repairing laptops instead of just buying New Chip every year. But when an i3 shitbox costs you $1000 dollars, who will be laughing then? WHO WILL BE LAUGHING THEN?!

[-] Saoirse@hexbear.net 13 points 3 days ago

Seriously though in a year you will not be able to afford a new computer so make sure you have something you can repair.

[-] TomBombadil@hexbear.net 11 points 3 days ago

I've been piece by piece replacing and upgrading my desktop. Maybe time to do the final pieces...

Imagine going to a convention and not being given post it note pads too small to write on and shirts that fall apart the first time you wash them. That’s Trumps America.

[-] FuckyWucky@hexbear.net 28 points 4 days ago

I think there will be some serious import undervaluation if such tarrifs were implemented.

[-] plinky@hexbear.net 32 points 4 days ago

Oh yeah, this crate of plushy animals totally cost 30 bucks quokka-wink

china export will collapse (on paper)

[-] FuckyWucky@hexbear.net 18 points 4 days ago

Yea that's the problem with trade controls without capital controls. You can still pay China pretty easily.

I guess Trump could expand the bureaucracy to catch mismatch between foreign currency transfers and trade but that will be "expensive" in that Government spending will go up.

[-] Runcible@hexbear.net 26 points 4 days ago

you don't have to do any fraud. Tariffs don't harm the exporter and if it is still cheaper to import with the tariff than to produce domestically the company can pass the full cost of the tariff on to the customer, or even additional to obscure the actual cost now that they have cover.

[-] plinky@hexbear.net 17 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

I mean if demand is high enough one might make offshore companies to process payments in untraceable manner for 5 % (at least that's around legal rate i believe). I just pay shp2usa, they pay someone else, they convert money to euros and pay in singapore, and my stuff arrives with printed price 0.3 $ per pound, customs are a joke due to speed of process

[-] LaGG_3@hexbear.net 18 points 4 days ago

Literally every time I've bought something of reasonable value from an Asian country the seller asks something like "what value do you want us to put on your import invoice?"

[-] ChaosMaterialist@hexbear.net 27 points 4 days ago

Fun-KOPE COPS

[-] FlakesBongler@hexbear.net 23 points 4 days ago

And nothing of value was lost

[-] plinky@hexbear.net 18 points 4 days ago

Oh there would be a lot of value in labor arbitrage being lost all right

[-] ManFreakBeast@hexbear.net 10 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

Y'all laugh, but this could affect Bhaji prices, and what are trans women going to pose with on instagram after that hun? blahaj blob-no
