  Bold of you to assune they won’t just blame Dems because it isn’t like reality matters.

    20 years into the trump dynasty dictatorship, they will still be saying "thanks Biden" to every financial inconvenience.

    I just said they would freak out.

    Who they end up blaming is between them and their god emperor, I guess.

    Fuck the dems, too. Less people voted this election, than the last election. People didn’t bother to go vote that should have.

  If you think that’s funny just wait for all the construction bros to discover that Milwaukee is now a Chinese company and their M18 HD12 batteries suddenly cost >500 a pop

    And automotive guys figuring out a good chunk of their replacement parts are European.

      Oh, that too. Most of these compact SUVs are built foreign because that’s where they generate the most revenue. Imagine hitting a pheasant in your Chevy, a pheasant of all things, and getting a 10k insurance estimate because it cracked your made-in-Mexico integrated LED headlamp assembly and split your bumper cover

      With the way gaming has been going, wtf are you people even upgrading for?

    CHIPS Act? Never heard of it.

      actually I didn’t.

        Its a pretty strategically and economically impactful piece of legislation pushed by, and then signed into law, by Biden, in 2022.

        It basically sets up a bunch of tax incentives and funds to go toward building out domestic computer hardware research and manufacturing.

        Its the kind of thing that would lay the foundation for the US building a lot more of its own computer hardware, instead of importing it.

        So when the Trump tariff apocalypse hits… assuming the CHIPS Act does not get repealed, it will be the only saving grace in terms of possibly lowering computer hardware costs.

        Trump and Republicans are likely to try and take credit for this, if domestic chip fabs start coming online before 2028, pretending it is something they came up with.

  This post is my reminder that I should probably upgrade my graphics card this December, rather than waiting for any other time.

  • Takios@discuss.tchncs.de ⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

    I guess there will be many people thinking that, driving up demand->increasing prices before any tariffs even exist.

  I really really hope that they will enact their economic agenda before their racist agenda. When they denaturalize and deport citizens, half of us will be cheering (unfortunately). When the price of electronics/ cars increases it distributes harm to all.

  Fuck, I’ve been putting off getting a new laptop, but hell this is probably going to influence that decision.

  Probably should get on it and buy it now ahead of day 1
