Yeah. Insider trading.

There is yet another dimension to this apparently: China has implemented new regulations regarding the export of their rare earth materials. Basically all high tech materials need these and the US has no alternative for some of these as China holds the de facto monopoly.

Nein. Russland zieht China nicht in diesen Krieg hinein. China beteiligt sich wohlwissentlich an diesem Krieg.

Yet again more fascist ideology embraced and embodied by MAGA.

I understand your reasoning but tariffs all around are just not the right tool as they affect your own market first and while the eu is the second biggest consumer market after the us, it just hasn’t the same margins to cut into for tariffs to properly bite.

So all the EU can do with them is to make it hurt while trying to avoid exactly the damage to the own economy that the US is causing. That way you try to leverage the reciprocal approach while trying to carry the economy for as long as possible.

That Trump is willing to escalate is apparent with China, but contrary to the EU, China has monopolies on goods and resources that it can (and already does) utilize to supplement tariffs. That will cause bigger damage than tariffs over time.

Of course the biggest absurdity is that a trade war like this harms the engine of every single country affected, destroying value AND lives just as much as a real war does but without the visibility.

Das ist nicht neu. ‘The Sound of Freedom’, selbst ein Propagandastück eines us amerikanischen far-right Pedohunter, zeigt auf, dass dieses Konzept schon länger existiert. Und schwappt über die sozialen Netze über den Atlantik.

Most people do not care if some corrupt politician whose activities seem inconsequential to their own circumstances is getting away. It needs to affect them in a tangible way for people to care.

Imagine Alaska seceding to Canada because the angry orange turd couldn't help himself 😂

And Apple is just calculating when the costs are justifying a required change. This is really not much of a blow to the walled garden strategy.

You cannot be that ignorant. ‘Made in X’ in a such globalized and distributed economy is nothing but a matter of tax design.

Well well well, if that isn’t the consequences of your choices coming around to bite you in the ass. I am well aware that the individuals suffering are not individually to be blamed but I have zero sympathy in this particular case.

‘Chamberlaining’ has never worked.
