Did anyone mention how the 1930 tariffs sparked a wave of retaliatory tariffs by other nations, greatly reducing international trade, pushing a natural resources poor Japan to conclude that in order to survive it needed an empire, so it invaded other countries, committing such atrocities that even Nazi Germany was like "whoa dude, chill", which lead to their participation in WWII, Pearl Harbor and the deployment of nuclear bombs? No?
That's quite the oversimplification, and I approve.
The whole plan was to move production back to the US. The thing though is, that you can't make Americans sit and sew Jeans that sell sell for $15 or assemble electronics for $6/hr
Maybe you could 100 years ago, but there is s a reason why we trade across the world and its not because we are kind. It is because it makes companies more money.
This will be mostly messy for the US. The rest of the world now has tarrifs on the US. But US now has tarrifs on the whole world. Any other country can look into expanding in new markets now, but the US has shut all its doors
if anyone has any questions about getting out of the country, ask away.
I'm a long-term traveler.
What countries do you recommend that have the easiest visa requirements?
I've read in some unsubstantiated comments that the state of the authorities of Hungary is so fucked up, they barely check if you can bribe a family tree researcher to make up some BS that your grandparents were Hungarian.
Pretend they were 1956 refugees that never had papers in the US, find some people who actually got lost in 1956 that have birth certs in Hungary - like maybe killed by the Soviets - learn some elementary Hungarian, be white, and boom, EU citizenship.
I take no responsibility for this harebrained idea and reiterate that this is just some ridiculous thing I read back on Reddit way back when.
Hungary itself is leaning quite heavily into an authoritarian vibe these days. If one were to go this route, I’d recommend taking advantage of your new EU-citizen status and find permanent residence in a country with stronger democratic traditions.
Authoritarian
This just means democratic results where CIA failed. Europe warmongering despots takes authoritarian views on diminishing Hungary. Hungary allows "same sex registered partnerships". "Needing" a pride parade is supremacism. Trying for citizenship in "CIA democratic beacon EU" will get you drafted into mobile infantry to go be cannon fodder invading Russia, or selecting a nuclear strike target.
Cyprus sells passports, so if you have the money you can instantly become an EU citizen
What kinda money we talking here?
Like a lot. Like €300,000. Which is cheap compared to other countrys' golden visas tbf
That is a lot but not out of reach for an upper middle class family, interesting.
Not out of reach but will hurt like hell to just give away 300k for just a passport.
