No less than The Economist uses the BMI (“Big Mac Index”) to compare economies.
I like how this has “Murrkans dumb” vibes, but this picture is intellectually far better than what average Russian thinks about economy.
That said, 6+ bigmacs for an hour of minimum wage sounds very good. Actually it sounds like some heaven on earth.
‘Heaven is a place in Earth’ was, in fact, released in 1987 by Belinda Carlisle.
Fueled by cheap Big Mac’s, no doubt, though the song neglects to mention them.
Good work Gamers. Your hardware will be more expensive, but at least Biden won’t be suggesting a non-enforceable DEI directive at the HR of those game studios.
Your console, my price?
One category of people I literally care not for are gamers and their discretional spending.
One category of people i literally care not for are assholes who judge other peoples hobbies like they’re the end all be all of how people should act.
Bruh, I voted for Kamala Harris
meh. I play games, but wont call myself a Gamer. There’s like a whole separate culture of people who are obsessed with gaming culture, but don’t actually play games or when they do, only ones from AAA studios.
I only wouldn’t say I’m a gamer because “gamer” is no longer someone who is passionate about games; it’s the equivalent of the Discord mod stereotype, but without even the small modicum of power.
So? U want a medal?
I’m actually really excited about the smuggling opportunities such a high tariff presents. It’s a real job creator. It’s been a long time since we’ve had major smuggling operations on the great lakes. Will be a big boom for Chicago too, since that’s the point where the smuggled goods get put on trains. Maybe even get the outfit back together.
Al Capone watching his successors continue his legacy by smuggling PS5s and pirating games lol
Maybe we can have speakeasy arcades run by nerds with 3D printed tommy guns.
Apparently Google searches for “what is a tariff” skyrocketed after Trump won
Also “can I change my vote”
There are already quite a few regrets it seems, and the right wing are gonna learn how tariffs actually work real soon
I’m guessing the money they raise will also be used to help fund tax cuts for high income
I never use Google, so this is from a blank slate search. The top result for “can i c” is “can I change my vote?” Also the top 2 results for “what is” by itself are: “what is the 4b movement” and “what is a tariff”. Here come the leopards.
They’ll also be an excuse for more layoffs.
And lower wages.
Kamala (“or Kamabla” as the adult children like to call her", because that’s normal for a president to make jokes about names) was also going to increase the minimum wage
So, those underpaid children are going to get hit by tariffs and not get a wage increase
look closer at everything you own. 99.9% of it will be 40% more expensive if you have to buy it again
Hypothetically, if I want to buy the Samsung S25 next year, and Tariffs are in place in America. I live in the UK. Why would my purchase be 40% more expensive? Samsung uses their own nodes, own fabs to manufacture their chips in south korea, they assemble the phones in Vietnam, after which they get shipped to the UK. Why would American tariffs affect literally everything as you have just said?
I think he probably talked about US people. You know, on a Article about a US (import-)Tarrif by a US President
Won’t products made in the US with parts imported from outside the US that are then exported have the same problem?
it depends on how the Tarrifs are implemented, but potentially yes.
I can however imagine that products designed for export would be excluded, since they generate US-based Jobs anyways.
You really should’ve included that it was a UK article though.
On a US lemmy instance and US sub. Everyone else is here as a guest/visitor, I guess?
idk, but lemmy.WORLD does not seem like a US-Exclusive Instance to me to be honest.
and the same goes for the word/sub “news”.
People did warn folks about this.
Good, gaming is for chud man children and incels.
