Comment on Not a game: Cards Against Humanity avoids tariffs by ditching rules, explaining jokes

  People dislike having to educate the same basic lessons over and over again, when it is very easy to search why tariffs are bad. It is not a community where people are going to spoonfeed you information that you didn’t even directly ask for.

  The simple answer is because we live in a global economy and you can’t possible make everything that needs to be made in a single country. The more complex answer can be found by reading articles about it. Take this one, which was the first hit I found on a web search:

  The trouble with tariffs, to be succinct, is that they raise prices, slow economic growth, cut profits, increase unemployment, worsen inequality, diminish productivity and increase global tensions. Other than that, they’re fine.

      Comment: The intent is to highlight the stupidity of the tariffs.

      Your Reply: I don’t get it (as in, “I don’t get the intent… I don’t understand why tariffs are bad”)

      Me: Explaining why tariffs are bad.

      Your Reply: Nobody asked why tariffs are bad.

      Me: <not sure if stupid, asshole, troll, or all three>

        Maybe just explain what you’re trying to say instead of exclusively being a giant fucking asshole for no reason at all?

  If someone is an asshole, then they probably are just an asshole. If everyone is an asshole, you should look at the common denominator of all those interactions.
