Yogthos<p>A shocking coincidence! The moment Trump hints at tariff relief, the oligarchy magically pockets $304 billion in a single day. It's almost as if they had advance notice of the market surge. How do they always win? Must be their 'hard work' and 'risk-taking'... or maybe just the usual rigged game of insider whispers and rigged swings. The house always wins, especially when they own the casino.</p><p><a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-04-09/billionaires-score-best-ever-day-as-tariff-pause-jolts-market" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">bloomberg.com/news/articles/20</span><span class="invisible">25-04-09/billionaires-score-best-ever-day-as-tariff-pause-jolts-market</span></a></p><p><a href="https://social.marxist.network/tags/us" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>us</span></a> <a href="https://social.marxist.network/tags/tariffs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>tariffs</span></a></p>

Western Infidels<p>If TFG were to go through with long-term 100+% tariffs on our major trading partners, that could create new black markets -- and new border security issues -- where none had existed before.</p><p>Why, we'd need *more* border patrol agents then, wouldn't we?
