Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!

NGL, it's hard to be mad at him for telling megacorporations to eat it. But it's the workers who will suffer.

The American Lukashenko supporters are clueless about tariffs. Oh the fuck well, let them pay more for products in every single red run welfare Oblast in the USA. Like many have typed, those prices are not going to decrease.

I thought tariffs are a tax on other countries that they have to pay? And even if that's wrong, it's wrong for companies to raise prices when goods become more expensive. /s

He really doesn't understand tariffs or business or, really much of anything, does he? Businesses pass on costs to consumers, if the government intentionally increases costs China isn't paying it, Walmart isn't paying it, where does he think the money comes from?

I have a very good relationship with a small bookstore here, a lot of their magazines are printed in Canada and a lot of their books are printed in China. I'm VERY worried for them.

They aren't in a position to absorb the costs, but at the same time, raising prices will turn off their customers. And they BARELY survived Covid.

They can't go to companies like Marvel and go "Hey, pretty please, with sugar on top, can you stop printing in Canada and China?"
