Piracy: ꜱᴀɪʟ ᴛʜᴇ ʜɪɢʜ ꜱᴇᴀꜱ

The fuck is "non-tariff cheating" supposed to mean?

Just off the top of my head:

1. Pressuring the Fed to cut interest rates and other actions to reduce the US dollar's value
4. Massive payouts to agribusiness, especially maize and sugar producers.
5. Try bringing in some fruit or a salami into the US. I dare you.
7. OpenAI, Meta, Anthropic, xAI etc ripping off the entire world's entire content.

Maybe someone else can fill in the rest.

“You are required to let me fuck you over! You are not allowed to resist it or find alternative means!” 🖕

"old man tries to conceptualize modern reality"

So now he's angry that we've fucked up our agricultural exports badly enough that the rest of the world doesn't think our trash goods are food grade?

Only when you pirate over $1 trillion in a calendar year, so we're fine. Facebook, maybe not so much...

When Trump says piracy, I understand he's referring to classic piracy (with little boats and all), and when he says IP Theft, I assume he's referring to the piracy that concerns us. Good luck adding a tax to my $0 rate.

How dare other companies cheat by having more stringent food standards than the USA? Everyone should be forced to buy and ingest real American salmonella.

Does he think that pirates would turn around and buy $1 Trillion worth of media if pirating stopped? Lmao.

Bowling ball test?

When they say 'piracy' does he think they are referring to Captain Jack Sparrow?

my concern over IP Theft goes from the ground up, can't help it. I'll worry about what corps think they're missing out on right after I've acknowledged each and every person who has ever written anything on the internet, or shared an original work in any way. the damage done by tech bros pillaging the collective imagination is way higher than $1T

I'm not interested in giving rich humans access to another trillion dollars.

That works against the best interests of hu-fucking-manity.

I wonder what his definition of Transshipping would be if asked off-the-cuff without his advisors around.

Govt subsidies? Really?

Only male or female shipping allowed.

Whose writing this shit for him?

You heard him folks, shine up your Somali and take to the seas, this man wants to see if we can cost him more money as traditionalists.

So anyway, here I was, drifting through the lemmy pages, when I realized there was a ton of money to be made by writing software for smugglers.

I have never really known a smuggler of physical goods, but I imagine I will try now

idk if i want agent orange to get a stroke because on one hand might just die but on the other hand the nonsense he speaks could just get more powerful
