Now, there is a funny part of all of this. There is some fun here. Oh, good. Okay, so one of the big questions about the tariffs was how were they going to calculate the tariffs on all of these countries, right? Because they were saying that their tariffs were going to be a projection of currency manipulation and value-added taxes and all of these subsidies to vital industries.

And the question, again, was literally how can they possibly calculate the tariff rates of hundreds of different countries and taking into account all of these things, right? Right. Now, the news that had been leaking a couple of weeks ago was that they were going to do brackets. What they actually appear to have done is ask ChatGPT... ChatGPT? Oh, no!

I want to give a lot of credit to the economist, James Sirarecki, who's the guy who figured out their formula. So their formula, and this is drawing for something. I mean, I saw it from James first, but like, so their formula is literally just, you take a country's trade deficit with the US. And it's also important to note here that they're not counting services.

They're only counting goods, right?

right when again if you're if you're missing the products and just getting in services that's half the economy as i understand it yeah yeah that's especially for the u.s which provides an enormous number of services you know but these people are fucking fascists and so they don't they don't think that like services are fucking real right it's it's the same ideology that undergirds the whole thing about like service workers not being fucking real workers literally the only real job is that one video of a guy wrestling with an oil derrick

And that's why they're fucking doing it like this. And so the fascists have asked ChatGPT how to do tariffs. And what they got is, again, so they take the country's trade deficit and divide it by their total exports to the US.
