Having lived in China, I can say China is largely self sufficient and Chinese tariffs on American goods isn’t going to hurt the American economy as much as other aspects of a trade war such as quitting their policy to buy American debt. That said, China does import a shit ton of grain and oil (both cooking and crude), some tech stuff, some cars, and a good amount of aircraft parts, and 40 something films a year see box office releases in China. So certain industries will be hit but specifically related to tariffs and only tariffs, China losing access to the American market is worse for their economy. But by no means is it good for the American economy and tariffs aren’t the only weapon in a trade war.

Sorry to get pedantic, but it’s the internet here.

True. I was couching it for the .world and .works folks around.

While not angels during or after the war, Russia took the brunt of the Nazi war machine and deserves credit for their contributions for ending the war.

Are we hating on Linus here or agreeing with him? I’m so out of the loop.

When did they deport the gazans?

Yeah, it’s better than their outright genocide but as you point out returning to the previous status quo isn’t great…

It’s easy to take the piss out of magaheads cause obviously they were being swindled by a person and ideology that in no way threatens power and it’s fun too. Wait… what was the point I was trying to make? Oh yeah, some of them will be disillusioned with the growing amount of contradictions and the left will can organize and pick some folks up, which would be neat. I don’t know though, I’m not an organizer, just a shittalker online. so… yeah.

The American system isn’t even that fast. Unless you spend like a shit ton of monies.

Gross. Trump might end up being worse than Biden cause the people around him.
