What a dumb opinion to hold on a fucking Gaming Enthusiast forum.
Who here is saying their lives are ruined? Get a grip dude.nah, its hilarious to see people on here complain like their lives are ruined. no perspective. even on forums such as a gaming forum.
you realize this isn`t just about a controller....nah, its hilarious to see people on here complain like their lives are ruined. no perspective. even on forums such as a gaming forum.
of course. but i think its a needed pressure on China to negotiate better trade terms and persuade them economicallyyou realize this isn`t just about a controller....
holy shit how dense are you?

I mean.. understandable.
Saw this floating on Twitter

Screwing with you how?good. china's been screwing us a long time. and to those complaining this screws the US consumer. please grow up, its a freaking controller. go outside...
I hope prez holds his ground at least one year. So the situation normalises and everyone is aware that you can't simply produce everything inside one country. That way the population gets educated and the center of economic gravity shifts to Europe. Everybody wins!This tariff shit couldn't end soon enough.
To do what though? Stop sending as much stuff to the US? Buy more US stuff?of course. but i think its a needed pressure on China to negotiate better trade terms and persuade them economically

I want him to fold and drop all the tariffs. Bring back American production the smart way- by educating the populace for factory work and giving BENEFITS to companies who produce American instead of taxing everybody giving stuff to us.I hope prez holds his ground at least one year.
Screwing with you how?
I know, that's what I said. You've got your throne for 80 years. Time to give it back to Europe.I want him to fold and drop all the tariffs. Bring back American production the smart way- by educating the populace for factory work and giving BENEFITS to companies who produce American instead of taxing everybody giving stuff to us.
Do things in a long-term way because you're not gonna build factories and bring back production in 4 years. Assuming the guy even lives that long.
Doing things the way he does now just means that we're not gonna get nice well built gaming controllers for cheap anymore. Along with a whole host of other stuff but for the sake of the thread this is the main idea
The long term way will never work. You need available jobs before people teach and learn how to do them.I want him to fold and drop all the tariffs.

Oh.I know, that's what I said. You've got your throne for 80 years. Time to give it back to Europe.
Sure. At least you have better teeth and manners when you're doing tourism.Oh.
no complaints I guess. If we're gonna be a fallen empire can we at least not be like the British? Those guys seem to be miserable all the time since America got its #1 spot
You don`t need to be a fallen empire for that, everyone would be miserable with their food, weather and womenOh.

Is a joke still a joke if no one else is laughing anymore?nah, its hilarious to see people on here complain like their lives are ruined.

Yeah, a really bad one.Is a joke still a joke if no one else is laughing anymore?![]()
Isn't Trump trying to get rid of income tax? Republican governments have never been very happy with taxation especially involving taxes for the rich. Either way, the government gets enough tax money from the lower and middle class anyways. They just choose to spend it in the most retarded ways imaginable.The Government gets its money from taxes, taxes are paid by the people!

Cutting military spending, CIA/FBI spending, Israel spending and rerouting that cash to public services, education, fixing infrastructure, and Social Security would benefit the common American man far more than whatever they're doing now.
And yes, Taxing the rich has a higher chance of success than you think. Most rich people aren't rich in liquid cash, it's their investments and connections that give them money. Investments and connections that would be far less valuable if all of a sudden they just up and left. You can't take an Amazon warehouse with you on a plane. Not to mention that the US government isn't just going to let them leave knowing how in cahoots they are.
Again though, renogotiation of what?The world, well trade markets at least, doesn't work like that!
Honestly, where do you think the money to subsidize US industry is going to come from? The Government gets its money from taxes, taxes are paid by the people!
And no, you can't just tax the rich because they have the option to simply pack up and leave.
So essentially in a free market suppliers from a favourable economy will always have an advantage, which is where tariffs come in generally to protect national interest groups against competition they simply cannot beat.
Either way, these punitive tariffs that Trump & co have put in are going to hurt the people they have imposed them against far more. You might not be able to buy, be they suddenly are unable to sell to a formerly lucrative client group and that causes havoc up and down the supply chain.
They can try dumping the excess somewhere else, but that will likely result in the places they do that throwing up further protectionist measures of their own.
Essentially its a short-term strategy to force renegotiation, and frankly odds are its going to work because a lot of the non-US economies affected by this are in way worse shape and cannot sustain a prolonged drop in export revenues.
Yep. I think taxing the rich would be a great start to giving power back to the common man, but government and corporations are too in bed with each other for that shit to happen.The rich are never taxing the rich because the rich control most economies
With cheap, affordable stuff. I so want to pay triple or quadruple for stuff.Screwing with you how?
