Guess we won't trade with you anymore then, wtf does that achieve for Americans?

Nothing. He just tends to lash out when he gets worse diaper rash than usual.

Would be nice if we started blocking these big US tech companies who don’t pay their share, their value is questionable

EU alternatives should be regulated better and I am sure they would pop up almost immediately

It helps push the tax burden further down the wealth hierarchy in combination with tax cuts. It also raises the price of goods, temporarily boosting profit margins. It's actually a really effective way to suck capital out of the population, and it will benefit hundreds if not thousands of Americans.

If everyone is working in unhealthy working conditions for unreasonably low pay with no hope to afford the things they need to live or access to information they need to lift themselves out of their situation, the billionaires will own everyone.

If everyone is simply slave property, no one will have time to complain.

This kind of behaviour is exactly what's driving Europeans and every other country from even using yank digital services so removing the taxes won't even matter. I've unsubscribed from every yank subscription service and have not even bought games from that country. It sucks, but I've also not bought anything off Steam either for over a year.

Well, yeah, but Trump is a fucking moron.

He also said the war with Iran was won three months ago but the Strait of Hormuz is still not open after threats, pleadings and offers of $300 billion.

[–] AnUnusualRelic@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

The war with Iran has been won so many times. No other war has been won more than that one. Many people are saying it. Very great people.
