Donald Trump has said that Americans may feel economic “pain” from his tariffs on key trading partners.
“Will there be some pain? Yes, maybe (and maybe not!)” Trump wrote on Sunday in all capital letters on his Truth social media platform, a day after signing off on tariffs on Mexico, Canada and China.
“But we will Make America Great Again, and it will all be worth the price that must be paid,” he added.
It isn’t just fox news.
Myself and a few others I know who still use(d) reddit were given 3 day bans (so AFTER the tariffs hit) for just talking about how a “general strike” wouldn’t be as effective as people think and the only way people would even notice were if it were rioting in the streets. Carefully worded so as to NOT be advocating for rioting.
People are finally starting to realize that musk and zuck are manipulating them. But they still don’t understand that reddit and tiktok are as well.
And, to be clear: There are a LOT of bad actors on lemmy too. But outside of the particularly tanky instances, it is more a function of not having any protections against meat puppets.
