I think in general people don’t expect tariffs to make things cheaper

yeah. apparently hasan was arguing with some other streamer who was a trump supporter, and he took the time to explain exactly how tariffs work, and how that was going to dramatically increase the overhead of the goods in that streamer’s merch store. the streamer listened to all of it, and then said “i don’t think that’s how tariffs work”

i should kill people who annoy me

which would increase cost but surely that’ll come from executive compensation and curb stock buybacks instead of being passed on to the consumer, right? and for the record, I don’t think it’ll turbocharge the job market, but even if it did, I don’t think it’ll actually decrease costs.

its hard to really even call them friends anymore, i can live with idiotic right wing economic takes because you dont have to understand the economy well to be my friend, but you do have to respect women and minorities which has increasingly been not happening. buh

no one wants to go work jobs that involve long days of monotonous physical labor outdoors. those are a lot of the jobs that migrant workers take. i seriously doubt it’ll create a lot of desirable, well-paying jobs. but yeah your friends aren’t going to be materially affected whatsoever. the only policy that matters to them is daddy getting a big enough tax cut to justify giving johnny failson a bigger coke allowance
