It is a small consolation that blue collar silly-Billys are already finding out what tariffs actually do, as they miss their bonuses this year because the boss has to scramble to buy as much supply as possible for next year before the prices are jacked up to avoid going out of business...

Most of these fucks don't have jobs. They're retirees. And now I won't be able to retire. Seems like making America great again to me! /s

We are coming up on the year 2025, that would make a PC built in 2018 over 6 years old. And you really think it will be fine for the next at minimum 4 years until the tariffs are gone, if ever? Man talk about copium.

I game at 1440p and an NVIDIA 4090 + i7-9700K machine with 32 GB of RAM and it runs really well. 120 fps. Now, for some games, I may need to turn on DLSS to get 100 fps in some of the less optimized games. To be honest I am shocked it performs this good.

Don't forget that TSMC has a factory (or is it two now?) in the USA. It should be operational within 4 years time. I think it is set up for the 4 nm process. But they're overly optimistic when they said a year or two. No freakin' way!

JBL?? Sorry, just messing with you. 😜

Depends on the games you play and how willing you will be to sacrifice visuals. Hope that no parts fail.

Build a system with low stress, high quality components and it will last a long, long time.

There's an Intel OR840 based system that I built in 2000 that is still trucking along out in the wild.

It all depends on what you do with the system.

What happens when you print money? That's how you get inflation.

We didn't forget, he was trying to help during a released bioweapon outbreak

That might be an oxymoron. I am unsure though.

Thank you for not addressing the initial criticism and rebuttal. All governments spend money, just not to the negative tune of the Biden/Harris regime.

When you say stuff like "released bioweapon outbreak" and "installed administration" you have made it pretty clear there is no data point that will change your heavily skewed perception of the world. I would prefer not to waste my time (plus Beamer has been crushing it with his posts that I have nothing to add). I was just asking a language question because I was legitimately curious how you would label such a nonsensical statement.

I have one, built in 2018, it keeps up better than you would expect... of course it has 16 cores and 64 gigs of ram, and a 4090... but yeah... I am playing in 4k RTX on and ultra settings. some games run amazing like DAtV, or Space Marines II with that 90 gig texture pack, others need that DLSS turnt on because they only get 45-59 FPS, like Jedi Survivor. Coupled with that 43" 144 hz monitor and some LBJ studio speakers it's kinda the shit. but yeah, I can't imagine it lasting another two years.

Meaning the Green New Deal nonsense, the billions sent overseas for a proxy war using Ukraine, the broadband initiative that didn't work, or the money not used to build EV chargers?

It will be so nice when trump gets in. the rich people will be so grateful for their upcoming tax cuts that they will universally lower all their prices making inflation go away and gas prices back to $1 per gallon.

So, you've just explained the real reason Trump won, but it was completely unintentional, and not what you think.

Literally nothing you've said in this post is accurate - and by that I mean actual, real, observable, verifiable facts - not some deranged "alternative facts" mental illness. Which is the real crux - so many on the right are willfully ignorant of how pretty much everything actually works (tariffs and policy change effect delays as 2 big ones from your post), and just blindly accepts every blatant lie and con their "team" tosses at them. How can such a huge number of people be so utterly incapable of critical and rational thought? It melts my brain.

And we didn't even touch on all the other fucking batshit insane bullshit Trump himself has either done or spoken publicly. Every single one of you who vote for him just told the world that you're ok with lies, racism, bigotry, misogyny, pedophilia, rape, fascism, authoritarianism, theocracy, and insurrection - just to name a few off the top of my head.

Don't bother responding if it's just going to be a vomit puddle of whataboutisms, false dichotomies, or any of the other ridiculous logically fallacious arguments that make up the entirety of your "debate" repertoire, I'm so fucking sick of the intellectual dishonesty. I'm happy to discuss things with anyone in good faith, but this post already shows that's not you.

The tariffs will be AWESOME! Because definitely no other country/union will react by putting tariffs on US products and buy somewhere else because... Well, because they won't. Trump won't allow it. And then they won't do it. You hear me, China and European Union?

Also, imported US products will sell like crazy in countries that can no longer afford them because these countries' exported products won't sell anymore in the US because of the tariffs. But don't think about it because... Let the tariff miracle master do the thinking for you. He did not understand why Colbert's mercantilism did not last after a short successful phase.

Once the tariffs really hit, it will break world economy and yes, this does include the US economy. First, the US economy will experience a great economical flash in the pan effect before it falls into a very, VERY deep black hole.

But some people need to experience it all by themselves or they won't believe it. And even then, they will point fingers at immigrants, evil other economies/countries, or scientists, or whoever will be Trump's scapegoat when his ideas fail.
