  • People wrote down Trump abusing tariffs in 2016 and there are analyses about how they damaged the economy. But nobody on lemmy knows about it. People will point out economic theory for why tariffs are bad because they seemingly don’t remember the tariffs failing in the real world. Memes forgot 2016. There’s even articles about politicians/billionaires selling stock using insider knowledge because “how else would they know about the tariffs?”

    It’s not like I read the entire fediverse but whenever tariffs are brought up I’m confused why people ignore 2016. It’s not trivia, it’s extremely relevant to what people are discussing.





  • So parents will only be able to afford a couple dolls as opposed to scores and scores of dolls. And those couple of dolls will be slightly more expensive.

    You have the ability to purchase 50 statues for $500 each. But now you can only afford 2 statues, which now cost $600.

    The implication being that you’ll be significantly poorer even if things are only slightly more expensive? Or is this going to be “like the communism” where shelves are empty even though people want to buy dolls?
