That EricI'm upset with the trade deficit I have with my grocery store. I buy much more from them than they buy from me. So I'm putting a 5% tariff on everything I buy from them. That will teach them. I am a genius.
VZ@SETIEric But what will you do if they cooperate with the furniture store across the street to raise the prices even more in retaliation?

Twotired@SETIEric And a very stable one, at that.
Colin H.@SETIEric Good idea - they've been taking advantage of you for a long time.

DT is not an educated person. He doesn't know anything about how tariffs really works. It's boomerangs hitting the sender double down in his back. Everyone flourishing on a free market and will lose on isolation. It's common sense.

BenderIsGreat34@yacc143 @Onthebass @SETIEric His Warton professor described him as the dumbest student he ever had I believe. The school his daddy bought him into.
@andymoose @Onthebass @SETIEric So how does one distinguish with US Ivy league universities, which seem to have Janus-style double face, how does one distinguish if a diploma came from the degree mill side or the Ivy league university side?
@yacc143 @Onthebass @SETIEric Who the hell knows. That’s a US problem. I’m not American. I don’t give a crap.

Zoidberg For President@SETIEric Are you a fascist? If yes, go throw yourself under a bus, if no, well, your little story doesn't matter.
Old Man in the Shoe@ZoidbergForPresident @SETIEric clearly social media is a mistake
@ZoidbergForPresident I'm actually talking about your behavior.
@jenzi You don't like facts ?
I was merely replying honestlly at a terrible post, I don't see you venting at op.
@ZoidbergForPresident Facts lol, you guessed at their identity - called them a fascist without any proof or reason - told them to kill themselves and otherwise just said their post was bad when you could just not post your tired old garbage.
OP is fine, you're the troll.
@jenzi You're a blind idiot, but it's ok, I'll be fine. ;)
@ZoidbergForPresident There's nothing here to be blind to, what are you even talking about lol... you're a deranged person.
Matt Palmer@SETIEric flawless plan.
Dan WDo you still have your own vege garden and fruit trees?
I know that they do cost a lot to maintain (time and money), but they do help you stay more independent.
It definitely wouldn’t be a good idea to (for example) fire your gardener and dismantle your planters.

You are, if you aim is to punish yourself for something that you are somehow ashamed for, because you contracted this strange belief that you must not be dependent on anyone else -- but everyone else should be dependent on you because you noticed at some point that you're strong enough to punch anyone's lights out if they make you angry...
