The additional levies will mean all goods from China will be subject to a tariff of at least 104%.

    Yeah I think people in the U.S. and anyone who is either willingly or unwillingly paying attention to this dumpster fire need to notice the nature of what collapse looks like here. It is the very very very top of a society foreclosing an entire economic opportunity for the other 99% in exchange for having complete dominance of a much smaller, more pathetic pie.

    Yes a lot of them are this dumb, and it won’t work out for them, but also pay very close attention to the kinds of people who actually do longterm benefit from this. The ineffectual centrism that brought the U.S. to the brink of collapse will respond to this kind of thing with “look how stupid conservatives are!” which yes… conservatives are overwhelmingly either willingly stupid or shockingly hateful or some mixture of the two at least in the U.S… but this is a distraction.

    There is a class of people who benefit from collapse like this, it is a VERY small class that makes the former 1% under a more free and productive society look like a big club, but it is still enough people to destroy an entire nation’s future. Take that lesson to heart.
