I really don’t know enough about this to be sure, but I would assume the US mainly imports goods that they cannot produce on their own, right? So a reduction in demand wouldn’t occur and it really doesn’t make a lot of sense in this scenario. But again, I’m not an expert. Would love to see a statistic how much of the goods being imported by the us could realistically be replaced by their own production.

That being said, the orange turd continuously makes it seem like a 20% tariff on a country means that that country pays 20%, which is just false and dumb.

I still don’t understand why he or his followers don’t know how tariffs work. Do they know they have to pay them, not we?

It’s like he’s hitting himself in the face and says he’ll only stop when he gets what he wants.

And start taxing the tech bros.

Oh my god yes, that’s exactly the one I had as a kid!

That was exactly my experience giving Linux a try for the first time. I gave up but then decided to give it another try with Linux Mint. I’ve been using it for over a year now and I haven’t looked back. There is a small amount of software that I just can’t get to work on Linux so I have dual boot set up, but I found myself booting into windows fewer and fewer times. And now I’m at a point where I actually dread booting into windows. I’t just doesn’t feel like it’s my machine anymore when it’s running windows.

Long story short, give it time, try a few distros and you will eventually get used to it, at which point you will not want to go back to windows.

I remember me as a child recording my own radio shows, with me doing all the announcements, reading articles from magazines or just talking nonsense and then recording music from the radio for the music in between. Good times.

What the fuck that’s actually a real thing.

…I love it

This right here. People who complain about this obviously don’t know how concept artists work. At this stage in the process, AI isn’t replacing artists, it’s mostly replacing shutterstock and Pinterest.
