Now hate is surging - What we're seeing: More hate, more fear, less freedom.English4·24 days agoUnfortunately people are that dumb if not dumber, but also yes there are tons of chatbots that are sowing anger and division usually in favor of conservatives. Weird how Elon was talking about how many bots are on Twitter and has completely stopped talking about it.
joekar1990@lemmy.worldto World News@lemmy.world•Live updates: Trump announces finalized trade deal with China, says tariffs on Chinese goods go to 55%English5·29 days agoRight. Like is that a base rate or is that just for steel and aluminum?

Love when the manual approximates. “Approximately” 32 inches is also the stock tire height. But our guy’s tires? Nowhere near submerged. And yet, here we are.
That’s actually hilarious how shallow that is for wade mode.

joekar1990@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•Elon Musk: your new Tesla will drive from the factory floor, to your house 'this year'English2·3 months agoBecause he’s cheap and didn’t wanna spend the money. It’s why the interior is so plain for the amount of money you spend.
joekar1990@lemmy.worldto World News@lemmy.world•China opposes any deals between US, other nations at its expenseEnglish13·3 months agoExcept it’s Trump. He will never step down.

joekar1990@lemmy.worldto World News@lemmy.world•Russia is not on Trump's tariff listEnglish15·3 months agoHonestly they probably plugged it into Grok and asked it to spit out the list of countries to tariff.
joekar1990@lemmy.worldto World News@lemmy.world•Russia is not on Trump's tariff listEnglish141·3 months agoIt’s probably dumber than you think why they weren’t on there. The formula they used to come up with the countries tarrifs rate is based simply on trade deficit calculations. So if you aren’t exporting/importing from those countries they wouldn’t be included. It doesn’t even matter if there was a trade surplus.
For example, take the figures for China:
- Goods trade deficit: $291.9bn
- Total goods imports: $438.9bn
- 291.9/438.9 = 0.67, or 67%
- And halved = 34%
