A community for discussing events around the World
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
Rule 5: Keep it civil. 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.
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.
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
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.

Ah yes, since the one thing that markets truly love is stability, and moving production from one country to another requires long-term planning, this will surely help with that.
wow, a fascist cunt biting more than he could chew? gotta be the first time.
pussy.
He couldn't handle china retaliations so had to pause tariffs elsewhere, so he can focus on china. Now he is forcing Americans to pay 125% tax on china imports.
And then after 90 days what happens? Because if today you order stuff from another continent to be shipped by ocean, there's a chance it will arrive after that date. Especially if everyone has the same idea of frontloading their warehouses before he changes idea again
He isn't going to wait 90days , he's too impatient, he will resume the tariffs as soon as he feels like it.
And its going down again. This is like rollercoaster tycoon irl
"I want to get off Mr Bones' Wild Ride"
Tariffs that change wildly from one day to another it's something that companies really love. Because goods get teleported between countries and you can predict easily what rate you are going to get
Trump the financial terrorif and his cronies are doing an absurd amount of insider trading
Coward. And now he's going to tell everyone what a great deal maker he is - it only cost the world $12 B or so.
The fact that people defend this action is appalling.
Statesmanship involves a steady hand, consistency in language and decision.
So, do I sell because he'll keep wrecking the economy, or do I hold because he'll keep backing down? What do the licensed financial advisors here, acting in their professional capacity and accepting full legal responsibility for the consequences, think?

Most of the time they say "Pay me 2% of the value of your portfolio for me to give you that answer".
The Orange Turd is a complete moron. He just on a whim crashes world markets.
That’d be funny if everyone who isn’t rich just took their money out of the market so these billionaires can just rob each other over and over instead of actual human beings
Edit: see the correction below by another commenter because I’m vastly wrong, don’t listen to me
"Regular" people not being invested in the market is one of many reasons why billionaires are so rich. 401ks aside, if most normal people got (and had the means to) to hold a few companies they thought were doing good things (and didn't sell on a whim, say hold for at least 5 years), even if it was just like $100 -$1k each, it would be a hugely progressive redistribution of wealth.
There must be a universe where Trump became a train conductor. I wonder what that ride would be like and would it have equal amount of casualties.
