Comment on Not a game: Cards Against Humanity avoids tariffs by ditching rules, explaining jokes
p03locke@lemmy.dbzer0.com 9 hours agoPeople 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.

Nobody asked why tariffs are bad.

Please, I’m begging you to get just an ounce of reading comprehension.

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

Well that’s the point, it is not a joke, they want to highlight that tariffs are stupid. That was already the first answer you got.
Then you said you did not understand that, and you didn’t ask for an explanation, so you got a cheeky answer. Then you complained that nobody explained it to you. Now you got another explanation. And as a response you complained about it being not what you asked for.
Now here I am, explaining to you why you got the responses that you got. And let me guess, you will complain about it too.
