Cowards, who cares about Trumpโ€™s feelings.

[โ€“] gon@lemm.ee 31 points 5 months ago (2 children)

Nobody cares about Trump's feelings; but the EU should care about the very real consequences of a trade war on its citizens, as well as the citizens of the US. This stuff has consequences beyond one guy's feelings.

Agreed that they're cowards, though.

Trump is gonna do what he wants either way.

What about the consequences of letting American companies destroy Europe?

[โ€“] lennee@lemm.ee 72 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Well thatโ€™s just embarrassing. I will remember this.

Add another stupid EU decision "bowing before Orange" to the huge pile.

As an American: fuck the US. Tax and fine the shit out of us. I'll go hungry for a bit if it means real consequences for these pieces of shit.

I don't get this logic... EU is not taxing you lol

[โ€“] molten@lemmy.world 2 points 5 months ago (2 children)

Sorry. I read it like taxes on incoming American goods. From the US to EU. That would affect the economy of US based business and make things holistically worse by some amount for the business and would affect workers. Cuts, layoffs, etc...

Correct me where I'm wrong though. I make assumptions a lot and skim a lot more these days with all the news but I always like to be more informed.

Your comment made sense, the other person just didnโ€™t seem able to make some very easy jumps(and then they sorta did but acted like it was their idea).

[โ€“] sunzu2@thebrainbin.org 1 points 5 months ago

You are repeatinf regime talking points.

if American business loses even 1usd, that price will borne by the americans!!!!!

I mean sure it can happen but we also know that everything is already priced max it can be.

So first and for most, taxes, fines and tariffs are taken out from income of the corporate parasite. After that corporate gonna try to figure out how to steal from customer

We need to start shaming businesses and people who have "social media" on those platforms, like with X-Twitter.
