attempting to strong arm a country that imports nothing you have on tap, exports to you nearly everything you consume, and is sitting on stocks of raw materials that every country the world over is attempting to secure.

They also announced export controls on rare earth metals, including samarium, gadolinium, terbium, dysprosium, lutetium, scandium and yttrium.

what’s that quote about those who are ignorant of history? that they are cool guys who will succeed, I think?
I had to have learned about the costs of retooling machines before I was 20. I definitely knew MOVING a multi-ton delicate machine would cost thousands, if not hundreds of thousands of dollars. I knew that it would all take time and money to buy/build and train workers, and to spin up, and to rework logistic lines by like 25. How the fuck do people who don’t know/care about “basic economics” get to the positions they do. I feel like I could run America’s capitalist economy better and I can barely organize a factory in satisfactory.
I felt this same way when people said “running an economy in victoria 2 is hard”. Literally don’t do tariffs above 10% ever, build basic needs buildings, and you’ll be fine 90% of the time. The other 10% will be because of engerland messing something up. Even in vic3, I could run Qing better even if I lost to GB, and I would be in an actual debt spiral. Like how tf does a dumb compsci nerd like me understand how to run a state better then all of these baboons. They have to be high on their own ideology.
it took me a real life hour just to move my production and supply lines to another island in anno
just imagine if all that shit was real

I wonder if anyone is gonna notice the tofu tasting better when they aren’t using inferior
beans
It sounds like they mainly used them for feeding pigs, sadly. At least it’ll make meat products more expensive there.
Mainly oil, agricultural products, and medical equipment.

See how far Trump’s reciprocal tariffs threat goes.
LOLOLOL let’s fucking goooo
Almost time for Trump to force rate cuts and to turn on the money printer again. One last bull run for US Empire. 2030s are going to suuuuuck in the US.
