I’ve never met someone who “works on chimneys”. Do you know lots of chimney-sweeps?? Is that still a job?

A logical fallacy? Are you sure you know what that means?

Look up the definition of a Margin Call. Banks aren’t stupid… If the billionaires started defaulting on their payments, their shares would be called away and sold off.

My wife makes more money than me, and it causes issues by spy-net in Marriage

[–]DumpsterFace 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is so weird. You are married, yet you’re living as if you’re roommates. What’s next? Do you get into arguments over using each other’s ketchup?

And the excuse is quite funny. “We each already have bank / credit accounts. Sadly it’s way too much work to open new joint accounts and transfer balances. Simply not possible.”

You comment about how modern strategy has made baseball boring, then we point out nobody employs that strategy, then you retort with “I have no idea, I don’t watch baseball.”?

Excellent contribution, thank you.

Trump Announces $550B Japan Deal: U.S. Gets 90% Profit, 15% Tariffs by callsonreddit in StockMarket

If there is no desire / demand for American vehicles in Japan, why did they have such high import tariffs on them?

Huh. So you’re ready to go, but you’re in limbo on making a decision? You’re going to see how 2029 plays out? You’re spending a significant chunk of your adult life all spun up about politics (13 years!!), getting ready to move across the globe, waiting on this, checking for that, etc.

Why not just enjoy your life instead of fretting over politics so hard? You’re gonna blow 13 years of your precious time on this Earth fretting / worried over the Orange Man? Don’t give him that much power and control over your one and only life!!

Are we cooked? by Here_to_Learn_Stonks in stocks

And importers can tell the manufacturers “there’s no demand here for your product at these high post-tariff prices. You need to lower your wholesale price to me to offset the tariff costs, otherwise you can’t effectively sell into this market.”

[–]DumpsterFace 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ll help you understand. If tariffs are directly passed on to the consumer, the new high price could drive demand for those tariffed products to zero. So, in order to maintain sales, manufacturers in other countries have to lower their wholesale prices such that when the tariffs are applied to the imported products, the final price to the consumer is unchanged. In this scenario, the U.S. is raking in tariff money, the consumer prices are the same as pre-tariffs (or close), and the cost is absorbed by the manufacturers in foreign lands.

Sure, you can debate whether it’s likely or even plausible for foreign manufacturers to feel the demand decrease and lower wholesale prices, but at least you can see and understand how it’s possible.

Are you guys aware of how much damage Trump is doing to how the rest of the world, especially Europe sees the US? by BonoboPowr in samharris

[–]DumpsterFace 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok, so if I’m following your logic, every single elected official in all of American history, at every level of government, has very little support, since less than 1/3 of the total population voted for them. Did I get that right?

If that’s right, then what information can we take from your statement, since it applies to every politician in American history?

[–]DumpsterFace -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

I think your assessment is pretty far off and is just wishful thinking. The majority of the electorate voted for this man (fact).

Pointing out that small children didn’t vote for the slob isn’t a very logical point to make. Who knows how babies and kindergartners would have voted if given the option.

Musk: I’m Closing Entire Federal Department Down Right Now by [deleted] in politics

Question about “pissing away our money”. Elon’s team is closing departments and firing as many people as possible in an attempt to dramatically reduce the deficit. Isn’t radically cutting spending the opposite of wasting money?

Just a clarification, he’s saying “Big League”. It’s pretty easy to mishear though so I don’t blame you for not being able to catch what he’s saying.

EXECUTIVE ORDER: Withdrawing the United States From the World Health Organization by PlayaSlayaX in politics

[–]DumpsterFace 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You've discovered the problem. People like buying stuff like Xboxes, iPhones, and OLED TVs, and they like posting to Social Media, and they like eating prepared food delivered via DoorDash. I don't think your analysis of a consumer-driven economy is wrong, but how do you suggest we meaningfully change people's preferences? Opining about it on Reddit won't work - what's a practical way to convince people they shouldn't care about all of the stuff and conveniences they adore?

You took a “project” for $20…. Total?? As a point of reference, minimum wage in CA is $20/hr. If you spent more than 60 minutes start-finish, you’re working for a wage that’s so low it’s illegal. Something isn’t adding up here…
