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.

Govt subsidies? Really?
I'm guessing that one is toward the EU?
Or Canada with the dairy subsidies.
Also it's not like the US has subsidised corn for decades or anything like that.
Controlled production is not the same thing as a subsidy. Canada controls supply. There is a quota system. No US dairy supplier ever uses their quota, so don't get dinged with tariffs.
It is literally nothing.

I'm not interested in giving rich humans access to another trillion dollars.
That works against the best interests of hu-fucking-manity.
He doesn't even know or care about how traditional tariffs are supposed to work. What makes him think he knows what the fuck is non-tariff? Old fucking moron.
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.
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!
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.
I was wondering when piracy is going to join the game. Awkwardly absent so far.

I mean. We could do all that if we want.
