Strap the fuck in, American people of the Fediverse. This table of lunatics is about to make your lives much harder and more dangerous.

Hate to say it, but the US isn’t the only country that is fucked. The impact is going to be felt worldwide and in a harsh way.

We’ll see how long places like Ukraine and Taiwan will last.

Ugh, the more I think about it the more I realize how bad it’s going to be.

Yeah, climate change is global.

Last before what?

Annexation in whole or part by Russia and China respectively.

Going from an authoritatian police state to another doesn't sound like much of a difference

[–] MutilationWave@lemmy.world 1 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Which one are you calling authoritarian police state? Ukraine, Taiwan, or both?

[–] index@sh.itjust.works 1 points 5 days ago

they are both authoritarian police states same as usa or russia

There could be (rare) upsides. If they go through with 50% or higher tarrifs, electronics prices in EU might come down due to dumping.

I'm not sure if I want to put my hopes for affordable electronics in manufacturer's accidentally oversupplying due to the US tariffs!
