Yep. He'd have to try really hard to do as bad as Biden. Or Obama.

Always kills me when liberals bitch about the economy under republican administrations. As if there has been a democrat since Bill Clinton that didn't totally fuck it sideways. The only people democratic economies work for is people who want more free shit, paid for by me.

If I understand correctly he is placing tariffs on all countries worldwide.

10% to 40%. About half reciprocal.

Except for countries like Australia where we don't even charge tariffs but you still charged us and lied on Trump's reciprocal tariff news conference flash board that we charged you - wankers.

Australia charges a GST on all imports... among other things.

The reciprocal tariffs were just no based on import tariffs alone... but all fees/taxes/duties charged by foreign countries importing US made products.

Reading... it's fundamental.

You gotta give Thumbpicker a pass. I was told last week, there was an American family in Sydney at a McDonalds just having some lunch. Thumbpicker jumped the curb on his Harley, pulled up and started swinging around a whip, and cracking the whip. Many watched in horror, even the Australian families just having a day out. When asked why he was doing this...he replied "nah" and rode off on his Harley.

We charge GST to our own companies - it's a broad based consumption tax and it's not a tariff. The USA had a level playing field with our own companies. Are you saying we shoiuld give you an advantage over our companies? Yeah right.

If I became a CEO of a company you worked for, you should fall to your knees and be thankful.
 
Since you all runed my thread with all this tariff stuff.. these guys make it sound like amps are getting ready to get cheaper.. especially my made in Vietnam DSL. \:D/
 
In case anyone one is interested a big daddy is when you make a punk answer a question and they finish it with big daddy…. For example- “Hey thumbpicker-who has given you the best biggest tariff that you have ever had?” Thumbpicker would then say “YOU HAVE MY AMERICAN BIGDADDY!!!” That’s some real prison shit….thread hijack over….

Average salary in China isn't super low anymore (about 17k USD a year), average wage in China is far better than the US in terms of COL. In terms of COL, average salary in China works out to about $94,000 USD, which is pretty much exactly what the average job would be earning in the US if jobs kept pace with output and inflation.

The fact that the UN and WTO still gives China developing nation status is an absolute joke. They whine endlessly about pollution but do nothing to put the brakes on the most polluting country of all, because all those bureaucrats are making money hand over fist with personal investment in China. If they actually cared about the environment they'd place regulations on China's pollution which would directly effect their economy to benefit the US/West and give the US/West ability to start building up their middle class again.

You're talking about the average Chinese salary for everybody though. That includes everybody up to doctors and lawyers, etc. Manufacturing wages in the Chinese private sector are closer to the equivalent of $10k USD per year. And while $10k might get you a decent living in China due to a low CLI... that doesn't help Americans. Things here are still going to be way more expensive. American manufacturing laborers aren't going to work for that if there's any alternative at all. This also doesn't consider how cheap Indian labor is, where monthly wages are equivalent of $100-$400 USD. We'd still have to compete with that on some goods, which there's no way America can do.


I completely agree that far too little has been done to try and combat Chinese pollution though, you're right about that.

No. Democrats want to create more public programs paid for by big business to help relieve stuff like crime and homelessness, which negatively impacts everybody. And when blue leadership threatens to do that, big business tells Americans that slightly poorer Americans, not big business, is to blame for big business not paying Americans fairly while they take in trillions in profit. Some people are even dumb enough to believe it. There is more than enough money to go around.

Also it's funny you mention democrats and economic policy. The economy always performs better under blue economic policy. Stop listening to Fox News.

Something else, even now, all the richest blue states subsidize all the poorest red ones, so there's more food for thought for you.

I'm sure you'll ignore everything I've just posted because "anything that shows me being wrong is itself wrong because that's just how I feel about it and besides any sources that don't agree with what I already believe were probably written but a bunch of LIBTARDS haha so there" but hey if you won't learn anything, at least maybe somebody else reading this might.

Judging by all the fraud and abuse exposed in programs like USAID, you can't actually believe Democrats care about spending tax payer dollars. They represent the extremely wealthy, and extremely poor at this point.

My state of NY and cities under blue leadership are tanking under liberal policies. It's only working for you if you are illegal/homeless, or top tier wealthy. Everyone else is struggling.
