It was more than “a few”. You can get fucked for downplaying the scale of the atrocities the british committed. The entire european economy is based on the exploitation of the global south. You can get fucked for tone-policing the anger that causes.
Thats why i said less profits and not no profits. If they could have sold it for $115 they would have. There might be some price gouging using the tariffs as an excuse but its not gonna be such an effect across the board i dont think.
What I was thinking of was an item with a >15% profit margin now being less but not necessarily unprofitable.
If there is no profit to be made then yeah all the previous profits will go into the hostile countrys private sector since the gap is gonna be closed by domestic companies which is what trump means when he says that tariffs will bring jobs back.
Get this cockring for glow-in-the-dark balls!
The price of the import remains constant, maybe jumps a bit, but the costs rise. That means less profits and the cost is paid to the seppo government, hence my comment about diverting profits from europe to the seppo government.
The usa effectively controls our subcontinents economy via energy. We are all but outright forbidden to buy from other nations such as russia, see e.g. nordstream 2. They who can destroy a thing own that thing.
“deeply intertwined” is a nice way of saying “owned by”
Europeans lose out on the profit. Thats what a tariff mainly does, divert the profits from the company to the government.
and our misleaders ensured that we will not only lose out on profits but also pay for the privilege.
Its somewhere in that accounts modlogs
Copying @ihave69xibucks@lemmygrad.ml’s comment
You mean after he passed classified information to the French and Germans, was part of a sabotage ring to intentionally slow down soviet production, and tried to purposefully make mistakes in his designs as a form of sabotage? So he was thrown in a gulag(Scary word for prison because no other country has those right?), and forced to continue working with strict oversight so as to make sure he did not try to sabotage the designs again?
I know the lemmy.world user will not see this, but atleast someone else who doesn’t know this context might.
It was in response to me linking readsettlers.org it was on my lemm.ee account
This the same guy that calls POC perspective of colonisation “melodramatic”.
anything mutual aid. Soup kitchens, unions, whatever, as long as it builds class solidarity.

OMFG UIGHUR GENOCIDE??!!
I am german I see the grim reality of the genocide apologia around me daily… The fact that my countrypeople sicken me is rooted in what I see. “At LeAsT pArTiAlLy FaCtUaL” listen to yourself and be ashamed.
It requires unfathomable cruelty to make.
