Summary

Global leaders criticized Trump’s new tariffs, which range from 10% to 49%, warning of trade wars and economic fallout.

The UK and Italy urged negotiation, while Brazil passed a reciprocity bill. China and South Korea vowed countermeasures.

Australia and New Zealand rejected Trump’s logic, citing existing trade deals and low tariffs. Norfolk Island was baffled by a 29% duty despite having no exports.

Financial markets dropped, oil and bitcoin sank, and leaders warned of inflation. Analysts say Trump risks fracturing global trade with little to gain economically.

    Advertising should just be illegal.

    It gives an unfair advantage to those who already have an unfair advantage.

    I recommend installing an addon called AdNauseam to block ads in addition to sending data that you’ve clicked them.

    Please everyone. Try to understand that being a useful idiot is the norm these days. It’s what’s cool.

      Someone needs to create plugins not to block data being sent, but to send inordinate amounts of trash data.

      Make the whole system pointless.
