    And something tells me when the tariff’s do disappear, the prices charged are going to stay the same.

    This community is going to have ample content for the next four years (and hopefully only four years). Even if this story itself is likely bullshit.

    This is a perfect story, that’s why I don’t believe it happened.

    The joke going around during the Bush years was that Americans learn basic, 3rd grade geography via which country we’ve invaded most recently.

    Looks like a whole bunch of baby brained Americans are going to be learning basic high school level economics through forced, remedial, live demonstration, in the form of probably a world wide depression.

    Hording of soon-to-be-expensive/soon-to-be-unavailable products is going to be be a huge thing over the next couple months.

        Definitely an interesting thought experiment. It will be interesting to see if the tariffs actually happen how they will impact the economy. I work in telecommunications and most of the equipment we use is manufactured in China, regardless of the supplier. Any tariffs will impact about 70% or the material we use for projects.

    Zero sympathies left now. In fact, from now on, I’m going to revel in all of your misery. Because that’s the only positive thing that will come for us as a species moving towards our doom, thanks to all of you dumb fucks.

    A great parable to explain the broad consequences of this election, despite the story not itself being very believable.
