Blah, blah, blah.

step 1: tell a kid one day you dont argue
step 2: next day, argue with them
step 3: tell them not to do something while arguing
step 4: immediately do it
step 5: get skated on
step 6: dont respond because you realize you're fukked into a corner.

I don't respond because talking to a ketchup bottle is useless.

im talking about actual economic terms and actual proven textbook reasons for tariffs.

you: "we lose in every deal" "tariffs are only to hurt us" "you pay for them, i dont want to" (straight trump quotes, stooge)

Pure, unadulterated, tasty feelings and emotions.

i love putting you in that corner. i love leaving you with nothing but emotions. is it emasculating? or does acting above it all actually wash away the shame?

Yo son. Everything I've said has had proof of it linked in this very subforum over the past few years. You know it as well as I do.
You wanna play my dick is bigger than yours, fine, just get some school kid who thinks that's important.

Time to grow up bud. ^^

no it's had evidence, weak evidence at that, but evidence. not weak it it's individual veracity, weak in it's potential to back up the far more wide claims you're making.

you post proof that we got the bad end of a trade deal, then you say "we get screwed in every trade deal". [buzzer noise], sorry you overplayed your pair of 4's kiddo.

you post proof that some tariffs are intended to harm the US economy, then you say "the only purpose of a tariff is to hurt the economy of another country". [buzzer noise], sorry you overplayed your ace king suited.

your problem is you cant figure out the difference between evidence and proof. you see evidence of something your bias wants you to confirm and you confirm it. Boom, done. no thinking needed. because you knew it was true all along.

you're not particularly good at logic, but on topics like China, Islam, and Trump you're particularly bad at confirming your biases.

you will of course read this and tell me to grow up, while ironically not doing so yourself. "oh no the bad man called me a mean name, i better tell him to grow up while not addressing the facts he listed". lol. never change grandpa. plz.

No, ketchup bottle, other countries putting tariffs on our goods are to HELP us. :/

No. To help them and/or to hurt us. U know what or means. Right?

Tariffs aren't the goal, they are means to achieve a goal. There's a whole laundry list of things we are trying to achieve with the threat of tariffs. Some will be partially achieved, some probably won't.

Snipa i'm curious, what solutions do you offer to problems like Intellectual Property theft or the fact that American companies do not have an equal playing field in China?

that’s more our fault than China’s

e: not saying we should sit idly as this happens
