Considering how many gamers have hot meltdowns over "woke" shit, I suspect it's not a small percentage.

I still question why Barbie is on this list despite me seeing nothing but praise for it last year. Is it because it's not "Masculine" to these people?

Also didn't both the Left and the Right hate Concord too?

The Barbie movie made fun of men a lot. You have to be able to laugh at yourself, but lots of men have fragile egos.

One scotch in my liquor store rose 62% in price from before to after the 2018-23 Scottish import tariffs. The price did not come down. 54.99 to 87.99.

In the case of Scotch, you can't make it here so you cannot replicate it. Not just being able to be called scotch. The climate is the reason it wouldn't be the same. So there is no direct American alternative I can switch to. Does any American whiskey taste as peatey as Laphroaig?

So trunp gets into a pissing match with the EU but my customers end up paying for it because the tariff costs were pushed on to our company and on to them.

I'm not allowed to talk politics at work but I plan on asking people about the Scotch prices by simply remarking how ridiculous is its so expensive and they don't know why. I don't have to mention Trump, just the 2018 us government tariffs on Scottish imports. That's not political, it's a fact.

When the price rises come, they won't blame the tarrifs, they'll blame the greedy companies. I think it's one of the dumb, intended or not, tricks of the tariffs is that ultimately it makes it look like the world is being even more unfair to poor widdle America.

They can't even explain what is wrong with most of those with out having to say because women and non white people are in it. And I say that as someone who dislikes a few of those things , on the list.

Also fuck them. The Last Jedi Center a white guy.

I mean it breaks down to "they didn't make it for me, and that makes me angry" because they can't even conceive why anything would be made for any other demographic.

You're looking too hard. First thing I noticed is that almost all of them have women protagonists. That is all the chuds need to scream woke.

Hes not going to add blanket tariffs.

Some people will explain exactly to him how bad shit will get and Trump will just lie and say China agreed to his demands and the tariffs worked.

Literally 10% across the board, blanket tariffs is the term used in the article.

"Trump is proposing an at least 10% blanket tariff on all imports, with tariffs as high as 60% on goods from China."

He says a lot of things.

He is also very lazy and at some point before it happens hell decide to just lie and say China caved.
