25% on tech services is where you'll see America panic.

Isn't this why Americans are sent to prison? So they can provide free labour?

As disgusting as it is, that seems to be exactly what most of the world seems to be doing, trying to get into trump's good grace and not get fucked by the tariffs.

Well except for China, who seems to have slapped back just as hard.

you people

You reminded me of something I've once read. I hope you'll come to terms with your anger some day.

It was much better to imagine men in some smokey room somewhere, made mad and cynical by privilege and power, plotting over brandy. You had to cling to this sort of image, because if you didn't then you might have to face the fact that bad things happened because ordinary people, the kind who brushed the dog and told the children bed time stories, were capable of then going out and doing horrible things to other ordinary people. It was so much easier to blame it on Them. It was bleakly depressing to think that They were Us. If it was Them, then nothing was anyone's fault. If it was Us, then what did that make Me? After all, I'm one of Us. I must be. I've certainly never thought of myself as one of Them. No one ever thinks of themselves as one of Them. We're always one of Us. It's Them that do the bad things.

Do you realize how you're quite literally advocating for genocide, and you see absolutely nothing wrong with that?

How are you any different from Europeans? Because you've been victim of oppression doesn't make you any less likely to oppress others when given the chance, as you're clearly demonstrating.

This is standard practice in most supermarkets and even shopping centres that are located in higher density city centers in Europe, because otherwise nobody would be able to find a spot to park...

If we're going for historical reenactment, they would be waiting for their chance to do a surprise invasion and nab a couple of provinces...

I mean, shall we look at all countries' track record of starting direct or proxy wars in the last 70 years or so to determine who's more likely to attack?

Well well well. Won't you look at who would have done exactly the same thing as the european empires did, if they had the chance?

You're not mad that it happened at all, you're mad that it happened to you. Hypocrite.

Oh look. Another Nintendo console that I'm NOT going to buy.

My last one was a used Wii that came hacked and I could load anything into it, and I'm perfectly happy if that's the last Nintendo console I'll ever buy.

I'm not arguing that these funds shouldn't go to Ukraine. I'm arguing that no single individual should ever be allowed to have so much money that they are able to do this. They all need to be cut down to size ASAP.
