You heard him folks, shine up your Somali and take to the seas, this man wants to see if we can cost him more money as traditionalists.
Only when you pirate over $1 trillion in a calendar year, so we’re fine. Facebook, maybe not so much…

I’m not interested in giving rich humans access to another trillion dollars.
That works against the best interests of man-fucking-kind.
So anyway, here I was, drifting through the lemmy pages, when I realized there was a ton of money to be made by writing software for smugglers.
I have never really known a smuggler of physical goods, but I imagine I will try now
I can’t imagine their software and bookkeeping would be significantly different from any other international logistics company?
Don’t know. But if the tariffs are as bad as many think, I believe the black market in the USA will grow faster than the speakeasies and smuggling booze did a century ago. There will be huge demand to bring in cheaper goods that are legally sold at higher rates.
It’s a new and huge untapped market to provide support, even if most of the movement of goods will be done by organized crime later. A lot of what will happen is unknown.
Certainly there will be a new cat and mouse dynamics. Very rarely does a huge layer of graft poof into existence to fast in a country. Lots of dynamics navigating this new electronic frontier!
Whose writing this shit for him?
AI.
This is just a list of “but I’m not winning so it’s not fairrrrrrrrrr” whining (whinging?)
I feel like if AI would’ve written this, it would make more sense. This reads more like a fever dream.
who’s
I wonder what his definition of Transshipping would be if asked off-the-cuff without his advisors around.
I would kill to see a journalist ask him about literally anything from this list.
I wonder what his definition of Transshipping would be
I think that’s when a fishing boat puts on some guns and radar and starts calling itself a battleship ?
lmao, I would believe that he believes it. He could play Ron Burgundy really well.
funniest thing I’ve read this week. But don’t have any friends with whom I can share
Holy shit! That guy hacked the system!
idk if i want agent orange to get a stroke because on one hand might just die but on the other hand the nonsense he speaks could just get more powerful
Hell, he might end up more coherent.
Trouble is he would still be smarter than bumbling biden.
“old man tries to conceptualize modern reality”
Just off the top of my head:
- Pressuring the Fed to cut interest rates and other actions to reduce the US dollar’s value
- Massive payouts to agribusiness, especially maize and sugar producers.
- Try bringing in some fruit or a salami into the US. I dare you.
- OpenAI, Meta, Anthropic, xAI etc ripping off the entire world’s entire content.
Maybe someone else can fill in the rest.
(2) The US has sales tax which is VAT in a trenchcoat.
(3) The US dumps its corn below cost and saturates foreign markets due to massive corn subsidies.
(6) Try buying a toilet that uses more than 1.6 gallons per flush in the US. Oh wait, you can’t, it’s banned.
(8) US companies have transshipped Chinese goods ever since Trump’s 2018 trade war
OpenAI, Meta, Anthropic, xAI etc ripping off the entire world’s entire content.
Rules for thee, not for me!
Bowling ball test?
Trump has claimed a few times that, in order for cars to be approved for import in Japan, they must be able to withstand an impact from a bowling ball without denting. It’s not a real thing. When the White House press secretary was asked why Trump made up such a weird lie, she said it was “obviously a joke”.
Its ironic to be complaining (or rather bullshitting) about japan restricting vehicle imports while the US is restricting imports of kei trucks for reasons.
Because kei trucks are obviously death traps

Reminds me of the mind-blowing video from Channel 5 news of them interviewing Trump supporters about him posting a pic of himself as king and they say “Oh it means he’s the King of Presidents, like Elvis Presley is the King of rock and roll” and I just couldn’t possibly facepalm any harder.

When Trump says piracy, I understand he’s referring to classic piracy (with little boats and all), and when he says IP Theft, I assume he’s referring to the piracy that concerns us. Good luck adding a tax to my $0 rate.
When he says transshipping, he probably thinks of a container ship flying the trans flag.
Well, helllooo there sailor 💖
Crewed by transgenic mice!
Considering that he thought asylum meant mental asylum, …yeah, probably.
How dare other companies cheat by having more stringent food standards than the USA? Everyone should be forced to buy and ingest real American salmonella.
I am still annoyed that we let the damn Argentinian beef get through, but I think it’s comparatively hilarious that we still won’t budge on US “food”.
Only male or female shipping allowed.
