I’m so happy to know world will crumble by LLM corpo bullshit rather than climate change. It looks MUCH more fun.

You can have empathy but still do what needs to be done

Leopards Ate My Face@lemmy.world•Tariff Isn't Tax on Other Countries?🤪English
1·1 year agoIn the scenario local good is still worth $100 but given that you refund all good by the amount added by the tariff later, you have $20 refunded (not really $20 as i tried to show previously, but
$20 x total_tariff / total_amount_of_good_bought_locally_and_imported, so somewhere between $80 and $100 net for local production and between $100 and $120 for imported good, depending on the ratioimport/import+localprod

3·1 year agoAh yeah I see I forgot this part, more bureaucracy and delay might hurt cash flow. Thanks that’s a good thinking.
It’s just a though experiment, in real life it’s not a nice math problem to solve like you said.

12·1 year agoWouldn’t refunding the amount of the tariff to the customer fix this? Ignoring the very important diplomatic and retaliation tariffs which makes the whole post unusable for real life
- Canada sells a product A $100.
- Tariffs makes it $120 when you buy it
- so Canada gets $100, USA gets $20, USA customer pays $120.
- USA has now $20, they can directly refund the customer for $20 via a policy to reduce the price of the category of A.
- So customer gets $20 reduction of the product A via tax something, so USA now has $0 and USA customer actually paid only $100.
- Except now if USA company make the product A they can sell it for like $100 and customer pays $80.
- There is a slight increase of imported goods price here because tariffs cannot actually refund $20, it will be a % of the local vs imported production.
- Over time you can expect to get a local advantage because of this price inequality, so local companies will be subsidized by imports until imports are no longer significant.
Where am I wrong here ?

5·1 year agoBy the way, if tariffs are directly sent back to the customer through tax reduction on the tariffed category of products, wouldn’t it be painless for the company/customers (if you forget the retaliation tariffs) while increasing you local insensitive to production? (all things equal if you imagine companies reduce the cost of the products properly etc which is not realistic)

World News@lemmy.world•Zelensky: Ukraine still 'ready' to sign minerals deal with TrumpEnglish
31·1 year agoIt it was a fair deal, investment from the US to build more infrastructures, doubling their investment capacity to mine stuff.
3 competing possibilities
- compentent military leadership, but not resisting political leadership: either needs a coup and kill political leader (not likely) or will fail (likely)
- incompetent ML, and but dumb enough to have their own agenda, crippling the plan (optimistic)
- incompetent ML, and very submissive, allows the worse the occurs and succeed (bad)
Hitler did not only have yesmen for his wars. There was even plots against him late in the war and he killed a lot of them too.

5·2 years agoI’m almost sure it’s “don’t be woke” today
Nah, conservative and liars always use the “i don’t know” “i don’t remember” “it’s not me” cards. It’s always a lie, they know, they remember, they are responsible.
but it does also stop the butcher from selling you a pork steak that isn’t actually pork, so that’s a bonus.
or maybe it’s just a translation error haha



My experience is arch is more stable than ubuntu. Broke once in the last 10 years, because of a bug in a package, fixed the system with manual upgrade from live usb in 1h. AUR is not part of the archlinux repositories, it’s a community thing with mostly the same security problems every similar package manager has (npm, gems, etc.)
1-1, we did not learn anything except you don’t like arch.
