The actual function is that it hurts the offending country by taxing our own business for importing from them.

So let’s says I sell diamond rings in the US, but one or more parts of my supply chain are in China (most often lab grown diamonds, moissanite, sapphire etc; sometimes the gold and ring creation, and sometimes the entire manufacturing end to end). I will pay the tarriff upon import. This on its face hurts the US business as China isn’t paying.

However, the business isn’t going to eat shit and raise prices (this is the fear). They will lower the supply chain dependence on China if possible. This does reduce the net import from China for this good.

This will motivate me to switch some or all of my supply chain to Mexico, India, Taiwan, the United States (there is domestic lab stone growing operations) etc, to shed myself of the tariff.

The macro effect is that we do, on net, give less money to China by virtue of forcing our business to move to other suppliers.

In the case of some goods, this might increase costs and be inflationary (the main criticism). But it also equally possible in this example for prices to go sideways, as I can definitely make this product example competitively even if I leave China.

If consumerism was an angel.

This is a complete deflection from the primary point: Kamala ran a campaign that would have done well in 2012. Not 2024. She had no strategy, and in fact did everything she could to not differentiate or excite despite ample historical examples from Obama to Trump on how to do so.

He got effectively the same amount of votes as 2020.

She got 10-12MM LESS than Biden in 2020.

They simply failed while Trump went sideways.

She aligned herself with (1) the most unpopular republican vice president and warmonger of our generation, (2) did not distance herself from an unpopular president, (3) did not on any level run a non-traditional media campaign all while watching the Trump campaign triple down on it.

The actual true answer is that it’s only her fault given the opportunity, but she in fact should never have been given the opportunity—Biden should have prepared to be a one term president and give years of lead time for a competent candidate to challenge the very obvious and inevitable campaign Trump ran.

Trump vote totals is sideways. Hers went down 12MM from 2020.

I live in a red state and vote blue. Trump is bad for the country. But the silver lining is that the Dems are now forced to have self reflection that they refused to have four years ago, and hopefully field a legitimately viable candidate in 2028.

Anyone blaming anything other than the Kamala campaign are dead wrong. She ran the worst campaign you could run with the billion dollars and initial support she was gifted.

The election was hers to lose and she spent her last days campaigning doing sketches on SNL, and Waltz going on AOC streams and Jason Bateman podcasts.

They had infinitely more resources and 0 strategy other than get traditional celebrity endorsements. It is simply the campaign’s fault.

Where do I start for this rabbit hole? That sounds mind blowingly cool.

I personally split the difference now. I think if the hive mind was completely rational, liberty/ancap must work in principle.

But propaganda, and moreover just how much violence people are raised with even still on average in western households, let alone the insane variance in parenting quality from China to the hyper religious Middle East to the current lead-filled (or micro plastic filled?) brains of Trumpers to the insane gang violence of Mexico and South America to the total rape of the continent of Africa… prohibits there from being any volume of rationality required to make it possible for at least another 200 years.

…except before 200 years we will have needed to solve for all of our global crises anyway to avoid extinction (at least there is a non negligible chance)—and thus some mix of socialism via the state, and the “market” AKA Earth dying, with the occasional bout of rational zeitgeist, is the only way to save Earth and explore the stars.

Discovery should not be a function of the Fediverse itself. It should be a tool, app, or otherwise layer on top of a baseline. Discovery is an opinionated service offering—if it’s baked in, it’s not a good thing IMO.

Typically I agree but I believe this was repeat allegations from multiple parties. If it was only one person and it was dropped, maybe he deserves the benefit of the doubt. But fool me twice, shame on me.

That part is less about the justice system and more a likely triangulation of him probably being not so great, at best. Plenty of people got charges dropped or “redeemed” on a technicality who are definitely guilty.

Unfortunately, that dude was relatively recently charged with SA allegations / rape.

I believe charges were dropped but it definitely cast a shadow over his public good guy persona.

Top 10 lemmy comment IMO.

DOTA splits the difference but it’ll take you 3000-5000 hours to be truly competitive. And everyone wants to be competitive.

When I played DotA 2, a dude who was good also was trying to get me and everyone regular with us into POE.

I took one look at the average hours played on Steam reviews and noped out of there. Also quit DOTA like a week later.

Because it’s literally advertising spam. I can’t believe this person would want to ruin the entire good will of Lemmy by pushing their trash.

It simply serves no purpose.

Do you mean admins? Where did they say that?

How massively disappointing if so.

Is there a list of these or a modern review of what is newly understood?
