Just off the top of my head:
- Pressuring the Fed to cut interest rates and other actions to reduce the US dollar’s value
- Massive payouts to agribusiness, especially maize and sugar producers.
- Try bringing in some fruit or a salami into the US. I dare you.
- OpenAI, Meta, Anthropic, xAI etc ripping off the entire world’s entire content.
Maybe someone else can fill in the rest.

Rules for thee, not for me!
(2) The US has sales tax which is VAT in a trenchcoat.
(3) The US dumps its corn below cost and saturates foreign markets due to massive corn subsidies.
(6) Try buying a toilet that uses more than 1.6 gallons per flush in the US. Oh wait, you can’t, it’s banned.
(8) US companies have transshipped Chinese goods ever since Trump’s 2018 trade war

Not the best example since they’re trying to reverse all of these environmental protections.
Only when you pirate over $1 trillion in a calendar year, so we’re fine. Facebook, maybe not so much…

Did you reply to the wrong comment?
The fuck are you on about?
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?
I would love some of the diseased chlorinated freedom chicken from the U.S.
It is our strongest export for the global autistic community 💪🇺🇸
Only male or female shipping allowed.
When they say ‘piracy’ does he think they are referring to Captain Jack Sparrow?
He doesn’t think at all.
I bet the gerbil on the wheel in his head is exhausted. He should shove a couple more up his ass to help out.
Govt subsidies? Really?
I’m guessing that one is toward the EU?
Or Canada with the dairy subsidies.
Also it’s not like the US has subsidised corn for decades or anything like that.
Controlled production is not the same thing as a subsidy. Canada controls supply. There is a quota system. No US dairy supplier ever uses their quota, so don’t get dinged with tariffs.
It is literally nothing.
China also subsidises a lot of things. The even subsidise things produced for export, which could be considered dumping.
Whose writing this shit for him?
AI.
This is just a list of “but I’m not winning so it’s not fairrrrrrrrrr” whining (whinging?)
I feel like if AI would’ve written this, it would make more sense. This reads more like a fever dream.
who’s
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.
I was wondering when piracy is going to join the game. Awkwardly absent so far.
One useful thing about the absolute stupid chaos is that there is hopefully too much absolute stupid chaos for anyone worth a damn to care too much about piracy.
(Though I don’t think we should be resting on laurels either.)
The likes of RIAA and MPAA are probably still lobbying as always. Also don’t forget the Internet Archive is being sued by record labels over copyright.
More than anything, people might be too distracted to defend IP related freedoms right now with all the other issues.
Hm, yeah, that’s a fair concern.
I mean. We could do all that if we want.
funniest thing I’ve read this week. But don’t have any friends with whom I can share
Holy shit! That guy hacked the system!
