so he's literally just doubling the cost of chinese EVs? holy shit

Honestly the next time I need a car I might still try to get a Chinese EV. Even with the tariffs they're still cheaper than the (massively inferior) American equivalents, even ignoring the fact that this will likely hit EV battery imports that American manufacturers rely on to make their EVs in the first place.

Liberals keep saying if Trump gets nominated it means the end of America and that's more appealing than anything dems are promising, even before you adjust for the fact that liberals are incredibly obviously full of shit.

Chen Weihua is fighting for his life in the replies. Also Biden is extremely stupid

between this and... every other goddamn thing, i have to imagine the democrats are actually aiming for the "30,000 voter election" that the chapo guys were joking about a couple years ago

edit: also while the EV and solar tariffs are really really bad from a climate change perspective, increasing steel tariffs to 25% when china produces well over 10x as much steel as the US feels practically suicidal from an industrial perspective too. what the fuck are they hoping to achieve here?

Cool, one more reason to hate Biden.

Part of my job is ordering construction materials for large projects, and the cost of things like utility poles (to mount streetlights or traffic signals) has doubled in the last year. I was paying $1,400 a pop last year and $2,800 each now, due in large part to tariffs and BABA

I pray every day to every deity that could possibly exist for the destruction of Joe Brandon and his genocidal empire

Genocide Joe fighting to be the first major party candidate to only win a single digit number of electoral votes lmao

GOD DAMNED JOE BIDEN JUST INCREASED THE PRICE OF RESPIRATORS AND MASKS BY 25% AS WELL FUCK YOU YOU FUCKING COVID DENYING CLIMATE DENYING PIECE OF SHIT!!!! INFLATION REDUCTION ACT MY ASS!!!

It's like he heard that I was on the fence about whether he's been the worst president of my lifetime, and wanted to make it easier for me.

Biden: what else can i do to kill any chance of being re-elected? airstrike Saudi oil fields? i'm just so tired and want to die and all ive ever known is failure

white house staffer: sir it's time for another amphetamine cocktail last one wore off fast

We're making Soviet rockets illegal going forward! Going to the moon would be hard, so we're making it easy! We will not be taking any questions—God bless America!!
