Date: April 3rd, 2025 9:59 AM Author: novus homo (gunneratttt) yes. they are reasonably calculated to advance the anti-gc, america first platform. there may have been better options, but it's hard to say which were actually achievable, so i think it's stupid to monday morning quarterback this shit. i'm glad something, anything is being done. and maybe they'll backfire, but it's better than sitting still and just bitching about gc without ever even attempting something.

Date: April 3rd, 2025 10:04 AM Author: The Mercantilist Policy April (No Future) "but it's hard to say which were actually achievable"
how about 'not imposing tariffs based on trade deficit versus actual tariffs from other countries?'
yes. gender reassignment is reasonably calculated to advance the patient's mental health platform. there may have been better options, but it's hard to say which were actually achievable, so i think it's stupid to monday morning quarterback this shit. i'm glad something, anything is being done. and maybe they'll backfire, but it's better than sitting still and just bitching about gender without ever even attempting something.

|
Date: April 3rd, 2025 10:09 AM Author: novus homo (gunneratttt) the difference is that there are a myraid of other things addressing mental health, whereas nothing is being done to combat GC.
if other alternatives were presented and if libs were willing to work with trump in good faith to address the problem id be more critical. this is just like DOGE. yeah, a scalpel might be more precise than a chainsaw, but using a scalpel wasn't possible. |

Date: April 3rd, 2025 10:11 AM Author: The Mercantilist Policy April (No Future) But my point isn't even 'tariffs bad' it's that factually the implementation of these particular tariffs seems to be profoundly retarded (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5704437&forum_id=2:#48810588) |

|
Date: April 3rd, 2025 10:19 AM Author: The Mercantilist Policy April (No Future) Doing what Trump says/thinks he actually did (reciprocal tariffs on any country that tariffs us) seems like it could have some legs as a negotiation technique
Basing it on trade deficits is utterly absurd and indefensible |
|
Date: April 3rd, 2025 10:26 AM Author: Paralegal Mohammad Yeah I haven’t heard a good defense of that, there are often good reasons why there are trade deficits, imports of agriculture come to mind. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5704437&forum_id=2:#48810660) |

|
Date: April 3rd, 2025 10:20 AM Author: novus homo (gunneratttt) "im not saying reducing federal largess is bad, i just think the way DOGE is going about it is retarded."
any large scale policy is going to be able to be nitpicked. the search for a perfect solution often results in doing nothing, which is worse when some action needs to be taken. again, id be more critical if there was any evidence that there was other alternatives and that the establishment was willing to work with trump on addressing the issue. but most of the detractors simply benefit from the status quo and their quibbles are an effort to stop anything from happening, not constructive and targeting at improving the means to an end they want. |
|
Date: April 3rd, 2025 10:26 AM Author: The Mercantilist Policy April (No Future) Non responsive to the argument I made above where you peg tariffs to the tariffs other countries impose on us, and not have ChatGPT tell you what the trade deficit is with the Solomon Islands or whatever. You’re goalpost shifting now from tariffs to DOGE, and I get your point on DOGE but tariffs were always going to be unilateral. So why not get it right?

|
Date: April 3rd, 2025 10:34 AM Author: novus homo (gunneratttt) it is responsive. my response is "i'm not interested in quibbling about the details."
if you are i were POTUS and wanted to advance an anti-globalism platform i'm sure whatever policy we created would be different from this and from each other's. sure, maybe this isn't optimal and they could do better. and maybe the QB shouldn't have thrown into double coverage when there was an open WR. i agreed with the afghanistan withdrawal. was it perfect? of course not, nothing that large ever is, but nitpicking the mistakes is often a bad faith effort to criticize the policy without coming out against it generally.
It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. |
|
Date: April 3rd, 2025 10:55 AM Author: Paralegal Mohammad That’s a good defense for pretty much whatever we want.
MPA isn’t against the policy goal but we can and should criticize heavy handed implementation. This isn’t like a 55-45 situation, it’s more like 80-20. |
|
Date: April 3rd, 2025 11:02 AM Author: novus homo (gunneratttt) but we should also recognize that implementation of anything isn't going to be perfect and certainly not aligned with anyone's hypothetical subjective ideal.
the tension here may be over whether the implementation here is so poor that it is deserving of condemnation. to me it isn't. but i can see how reasonable minds that do support the policy goals can disagree. |
|
Date: April 3rd, 2025 12:28 PM Author: Anne Frank sporting a full bush There's a pretty wide gap between "isn't going to be perfect" and colossally fucking retarded.
It would have reasonable for Trump to announce his tariff goals alongside a realistic timeline for implementation (say 12-24 months) so businesses (particularly small business) would have a chance to plan and adapt.
Going on TV and announcing that effective immediately everything becomes 50%+ more expensive is just preposterous and ruinous to businesses that don't have a trillion $ in free cash or a direct line to the highest levels of Congress or the Executive. To say nothing of the fact that Trump can go out tomorrow and announce additional tariffs on imports because "muh feelings"

Date: April 3rd, 2025 12:39 PM Author: novus homo (gunneratttt) i was a pearl clutching lincoln project type in 2016 and have come around to trump's unhinged shit being effective. yeah, he's a bloviating retard and saying "we're gonna ban muslims", "we're gonna lock her up", "they're eating the cats and dogs" is retarded. so is "i'll end the ukraine war first day in office" and "we're doing 50% tariffs."
but somehow his retard schtick has resulted in moving the needle in a way i haven't seen my life, and seemed impossible to ever happen a decade ago. so i'm ok letting him cook and not getting my panties in a bunch every time he says something retarded on tv. |
|
Date: April 3rd, 2025 12:46 PM Author: Anne Frank sporting a full bush In previous cases Trump said retarded/insane shit and then what would actually get implemented was like 10% of what was initially proposed.
In this case Trump also said retarded/insane shit but then he implemented 1000% of what was proposed.
Yeah, he's moving the needle... right towards record unemployment, inflation, and domestic economic ruin. |
|
Date: April 3rd, 2025 12:52 PM Author: novus homo (gunneratttt) the reliance on globalism is what caused the great recession and the economic fallout from COVID when we didn't have the capacity to generate for ourselves enough supply to meet demand.
so far everything is fine. accomplishing this goal might actually result in what you're predicting, and i'm fine with that. better to suffer the cost now than repeatedly in the future. but so far the costs have been very low. i've heard too much doomsaying about how trump's shit is going to end in disaster and so far it's been a gigantic net positive.
i'm willing to let him cook even if it triggers ITE2. ITE2 was going to happen anyway. kicking the can down the lane to avoid short term pain is the primrose path that led us to this shit. |
|
Date: April 3rd, 2025 12:55 PM Author: Anne Frank sporting a full bush This is basically blind faith. The only thing you seem to be holding on to is the idea that if we burn it all down, what follows it MUST be better.
Ok I guess. |
|
Date: April 3rd, 2025 1:02 PM Author: novus homo (gunneratttt) it's not. i think what he's doing is reasonably calculated to lead to it. i concede i don't know the future, and am willing to try something radical to at least get off of a bad path. you're the one that is sure this is going to lead to economic devastation.
there's one thing i'm sure about in the future: if this turns out OK no one will show up with a mea culpa. trump doom predicting has happened for 10 years and none of the doomsayers come back and say "whoops!"
you're the one with faith that this time it'll be different. i'm looking at history and thinking "if the doomsayers were wrong 100 out of 100 times it's likely that they'll be wrong on the 101st". |

Date: April 3rd, 2025 8:43 PM Author: shitlib shibboleth I voted for Trump three times and these tariffs are one of the dumbest policies I’ve ever seen in politics. The only possible sense it makes is to try to grab some quick bucks to help reduce our deficit. But there will be lots of unpredictable pain randomly distributed through the economy and the uncertainty is terrible for businesses (not to mention the stock market), and may linger.
With that said, the economy can probably adjust to this within 18-36 months and I think the long term impact will be relatively low. Americans aren’t ready to be europoors who have to buy shitty substitute goods. |
