Warning political opinion
about something that I know very little about inbound. I don't have a
crystal ball and I can't tell the future, but this is my guess of
what is going to happen. I would love to be proven wrong. And it might be a bit rambley as I wrote this from notes that I made on my phone over the last couple of weeks.
Apparently there have been
some serious tariffs put into place. I honestly know very little
about what tariffs are/do/work. I've looked it up and tariffs and
they seem to be a kind of tax on imports. And naturally the talking
heads (not the band) have seem to have taken their sides. The
opposition is saying that he's putting extra taxes on everything. And
the taxes will destroy the worlds economy. The proponents say that it
will be great because it will force companies to build factories here
state side.
Pre-post Edit: I guess that
President Trump has pushed back when the tariffs are going to go into
place. He's still going to have 10% across the board tariffs, but the
big ones are being pushed back. They're going to go into place in 90
days. Just ignore a couple of months ago when he was going to push
them back 90 days. Willing to bet money that in 90 days he's totally
going to kick the can down the road again. What I'm guessing is going
to happen is that every three months he's going to push back when
he's going to have them take place. Eventually he's going to announce
that he's the greatest negotiator in the world because he decided to
not put the tariffs into place. The other countries will still have
the reciprocal tariffs against us, but he'll back down and just claim
victory.
But here's what I think
will happen if they ever do go into place:
Let's say that there will be
a 25% Tariff against a country that a company imports their goods
from. Companies will raise their prices 45% because, you know.
“Tariffs” and “Inflation” and any other excuse that they could come up with.
They wont give people any
raises, because paying people more will “make prices go up”
They'll be making record
epic profits while Average Joe is going to be starving to death.
However they'll use some funky statistics to “prove” that their
"sales are down". (Dems will blame Trump, GOP will blame
Biden. Nether side is going to do anything)
Companies will ask for
loans to build factories. They'll super duper ultra mega hyper pinky
promise that they'll build...campaign contributions, er “”Factories””
So they'll receive an EPIC FUCKTON of money. But after some bribes
campaign contributions they'll convince their sugar daddy congress
people that they're so “business friendly” that they'll just go
ahead and cancel those loans for them. Because they're just so
“business friendly” they'll gladly forgive those “factory
loans” of course people with student loans won't get their loans
forgiven because that would be “bad for the economy”.
Naturally when asked about
the factories. That they were supposed to build with that epic fuckton of money that they were supposed to use to build factories?
Fact Trees?
Fact trees?
“What are theses “Fact
Trees” that you ask about? Those sound like the things we cut down
to get more money"
Their CEO's won't have
Golden Parachutes, they'll be riding around on diamond encrusted
platinum paragliders.
In a couple of years there
will be another politician that will be hailed as a “hero”
because they'll cancel the tariffs. But because of “inflation”
the prices will rise another 10%.
And like they do with
Reagan right now Dems will spend the next 40 years blaming everything
on Trump. While they don't actually do anything. Because doing things
isn't what Dems do. And GOP will be too busy cashing in their THICC
payouts.
Other countries will be too
scared to do any business with the US because it would just take a
crazy president with a wild butt hair and they'll be slapped with
insane tariffs again.
Mom & Pop stores have
finally gone the way of the Dodo. As the only companies that will be able to do any business are the super corporations. They've finally gotten rid of
Social Security and Medicare like they've been talking about for
decades. Because 1. Why give money to poor people when we could just
give it to rich people. And 2. There won't be enough people in the
working class to pay into it anyway. All of those “dumb, lazy”
Millennials who have paid into it our entire lives are just being
“entitled” when we expect to get our cut.
That last part might have
been off topic. But seriously I've heard more about Social Security
being canceled long before I get to it more than I've actually been
told of what it actually is. Of course they won't get rid of the tax,
they'll just stop paying it out. Or rather, they'll keep paying it
out, you'll just have to wait until you're 115 years old before you
can retire, and you have to be a Billionaire
