Or just tariff.
Thats a tarriff. Sales tax is on goods sold in the country and is usually universal regardless on product origin. Tariffs are taxes only on countries of origin to ship into the nation based on product. Regardless if it sells or not.
The issue with tariffs is it is a tax that has no benifit to the ones taxed. Income, Sales, Property taxes go towards things that benifit the payer. But hell many states dont have income or sales, and fed doesnt have sales.
benefit being relative in nature depending on the political ideology.
I don't understand why everyone wants to criticize Trump for using tariffs but then don't ever seem to care about all the other countries using tariffs against the US.
@Thomas the Sowell Train [USA] noteworthy that the german automakers sperged out when trump said he was introducing a new car tariff.
Despite europe charging a 25% import tariff on american cars.
And our tariff on them is gonna be 10% lower
yo boi it's my old pal Sceneable
@LordCaledus maybe they shouldn't fucking cook their books then
TOO DAMN WOKE
The thing about tariffs is most people have the concept backward. It isn't a tax on foreign companies. It is a tax on products consumed by the people in a country. The people who pay for it is the consumer.
Yes, which means purchasing these items outside of the country increases in cost.
Because it in turn affects the product's sale value.
The companies themselves will not take the hit on profit because they simply won't let it affect their profit margins.
Companies compensate, which means the cost of buying goods in a country is higher.
People really need to grasp that part of economy.
Holy shit, the guardian AU just got woke
Meanwhile idiots are posting videos of Bolt interviewing Lauren and Molymeme as "Leftist host debates Lauren Southern and Stefan Molyneux"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xs_Vs1jtYSE Scott Adams makes some good points on Q
Basically the same point I was making the other day. The only purpose Q will serve is to make Trump supporters look like idiots.
Even if Q were real, what would be the purpose of leaking things right before everyone else is going to find out anyway? What is the purpose of maintaining an air of mysticism and being so cryptic? There is no purpose, other than to create the false appearance of possessing special knowledge.
information and misinformation
he's said a few times that there's been misinformation deliberately given out for deep state to pick up
wtf is Q?
Q the ordinary
Q the space troll
is that the "i'm a communist" chick?
a Literal Communist
on National Morning TV
chick
How do you folk see the difference between Social Democracy and Democratic Socialism?
my head hurts
@Omsomething social democracy wants a social market economy with privately run businesses and core state enterprises and social programs to redistribute wealth and power
Democratic socialism wants a state economy/market with state run business and a forced redistribution of wealth
Hmm hmm good that seems more or less how i saw it, there has been a lot of talk about Democratic socialists being bad and living in Social Democracy it kind of got me worried that it will cause new head-aches of terms.
It already has with people like Bernie
Tbh Democratic socialims is a term meant to confuse you
There is only socialism
thats democraticly elected
even though socialism isn't democratic
e x a c t l y
I am under impression that most objections to socialism by people is that it inherently causes lack of individual rights and power gets re-attributed to few.
Huh, i wonder if US socialists are trying to appropriate Nordic culture.
When they go scandinavia is socialist they probably are
@Omsomething theyโre both pretty fucking gay
No u.
Hmm good thing i asked this never would have thought about that cultural appropriation way of seeing, if one would think of it certain way both extreme sides of socialism discussion are doing that.
Is interesting and amusing to me.
Wait is that some other academy of ideas?
IS IT GAY IF THE BALLS TOUCH?
yes
only if the balls touch
Nooo
It's only gay if balls touch chin

TFW when a book written by an American libertarian, satirized by a Hollywood leftist becomes an actual political rallying cry in Britain
hahaha

That's actually a meme

Are you beit ageist?
Being*

He has cited the "Deus Vult" meme in previous videos

Well I wish you kids in Englamd luck.

@Broo TulsiGang 2024 ๐ฌ๐ง ๐บ๐ธ True, Paul's got him beat on that. Though to my understanding he is responsible for representing parts of Wales, so it'd make sense to have the map around
Meanwhile, in the Twitterverse https://i.imgur.com/MA3TMgd.png

"stop complaining about our human rights abuses or we'll fly this plane into one of your landmarks"

@Legiondude I still haven't seen an archived version of that tweet

also if they did make that original tweet they redid it without the plane
Which the imgur image title says...
@Legiondude wich is why I said I still haven't seen an archived version of that tweet
You can write anything in an imgur title

Lol Starship Troopers is older than he is.
So I looked at the SPLC website and they have a Hate Tracker. Literally claims to be exposing alt-right twitter conversations. It's kind of worrying that such a dangerous group is making lists of presumably anyone that uses a MAGA hashtag.
If anyone worndering about #ComicsGate, it's still a thing that's hilarious.
I contributed to the cause by doing my part of owning a SJW that was out and about lying and being a victim for attention.
Slapped her and her arguements, left and right.
it fun to wach comicsgate and how they cant stand that 2 creators did make more money in under 6 month then they had made in last 15 years
