I can’t afford this Trump economy

This is a great comparison actually. Like the USSR in the 70s and early 80s, an isolated America will stagnate. Others, like China, will fill the void. I read recently that China, SK, and Japan are banning together with sustained economic and security talk. A completely self-inflicted wound if we push Japan and SK into China’s arms.

Nice job maga. Complete dotards.

When you understand the history between these countries, it makes the US even seem more like Russia in terms of global politicking (think Finland joining NATO after basing its entire existence on neutrality). It's hilarious in a "we're boned" sort of way.
 
Here we go. This is where it really hurts. There will be a lot more of these stories to follow. Shameful.


DETROIT, April 3 (Reuters) - Stellantis NV (STLAM.MI), opens new tab said on Thursday it was temporarily laying off 900 workers at five U.S. facilities and pausing production at one assembly plant each in Mexico and Canada, after US President Donald Trump's tariffs were announced.
Trump broadened the tariffs to a 10% baseline on all imports on Wednesday, with higher rates for some countries. These levies followed 25% duties on all auto imports announced last week that sent shockwaves through the global auto industry.

I'm planning on getting a Nintendo switch 2 for my daughter for her birthday.
Just read a launch date (June 5th) announcement today and in the article the manufacturer of the switch 2 came right out and said that because of trumps tariffs the switch 2 will cost me $50 more than if the tariffs didn't happen.

I feel lucky that it isn't a bigger increase to be honest. But don't fret, at least my 401k is going down in flames.

I want to get one as well, but I am rethinking it right now. I still have a bunch of titles for my old switch that I haven't played yet, so I may just ride it out and see what happens in a year or 2. You never know, he may get assassinated! :D

I wouldn't get the switch 2 if my current switch would still connect to the TV. Mine is only playable in handheld mode and I much prefer my daughter and I play together on the tv
