ROTFLMAO, how to harm America.
The ONLY people who will pay for this are Americans, the 96% of the worlds population living outside the USA will NOT be paying the tariff. ANY goods that use parts from Asia that the US exports will simply become more expensive making the similar products from Asia/Europe look the better option.
Asia is 60% of the worlds population and the part of the worlds economy that is growing, the USA could see its self locked out of it. For most countries now trade with Asia is far more important than trade with the USA and Trump has just made the USA less competitive.
Looking forward to all those agricultural subsidies that the USA has being removed along with the agricultural tariffs they put on other countries agricultural products.
Yeah, and if is ever forced to testify to any government enquiry "He is a bitter ex employee whose view points are biased and no longer reflect the company after sweeping changes made since his dismissal."

which means I ignore it and the company pushing it
I certainly never buy stuff based on the first advert I see, I search and see who has the best price, and I use Bing, DuckDuckGo to make sure I get the best price.
Oh, and what makes the USA so great ?
Its not freedom of speech
Its not education, or health. Its certainly not honesty, nor is it personal safety.
Its not social mobility, happiness , freedom of the press, or democracy.
Its not racial equality, and the divide between rich and poor is growing
What did anyone think Facebook was ?
Its a MASSIVE data gathering/mining platform that will sell that information to whom ever offers them enough money.
FIFY
The USA wants to keep any US-discovered exploits in-house to aid in it's Orwellian pursuit of 100% monitoring and control over its citizens (and, probably, others beyond its borders).
And were they paid to install FBI backdoors too ?
And Americans think they are better than China... maybe they are but each passing day the gap closes.
There is a reason that blog is nicknamed "C*nt of Mac"
Its like you know, how Ford closed up shop when they stopped selling the Model-T
The US in unique it seems in that the total IQ of the country remains the same even as the population has grown. You have have more and more really stupid people. and these blogs cater for that crowd because they are the majority.
The USA is only 4% of the worlds population. Someone else will pick up where these companies leave off, it may not be as good, ever, but then again neither will those companies that left. Try it, see how well any of these companies do if they loose access to 96% of the worlds population and resources.
The USA is NOT the greatest country on earth, no matter what you all yourself. Feel free to explain why it is.
There is no law to say the USA will or must win in all things, because it is not ever been true , not will it ever be true.
The USA is capable of collapse.
ALL those large multinationals can and would leave the USA if it were in their best interest.
Most illegals guns are the result of being stolen off a person who legally bought it. So banning guns would remove the supply.
Once gun supplies go down, the price goes up, now I want to see some skinny 17 year old white boy walk into the hood with a couple of thousand dollars on him and think he's going to walk out with a gun, with his money, or with his life.
The majority of mass shootings are NOT done by hardened criminals.
We can see how well militants are doing against government forces, and those militants are being supplied heavy weaponry by the US and others. Your average nut bar with an AR-15 is no match. If the government wanted to take over, they could already.
Stop believing the paranoid myths the pro gun lobby uses, they are there to install fear, and with fear comes the ability to control people. Americans have killed MORE Americans than all the wars they have been involved. Its not foreign governments you should be scared of, its your gun owning neighbour.
Yeah but don't forget that about half of those people shot were never going to vote for Trump anyway where as kids watching porn means they are not watching Trump... travesty...am I right...well tell me am I right, of course I am right.
What he should do publicly with as much publicity as he can is to install Linux on the old computers.
Tell everyone that by using Linux they can restore an old computer into something useful, Tell them it comes with a word processor, spreadsheet etc all for FREE.
Tell that they come with Linux and Open Office because they can NOT be used any longer with Microsoft products
Make a BIG noise about 28,000 linux boxes being available because MS/Dell won't allow them to used as Windows boxes.
Make it a big public event, "world biggest linux install marathon" or some such even, get volunteers, school kids wanting to learn, make as much fucking noise about it that you can.
Call it a " what you can do without windows" event, see if one of the Linux Magazines will supply 28,000 CDs to give away.
Basically tell Microsoft they can shove themselves from now on
Tell the world that MS wants a line of working/usefull PCS approx 8000 miles long trashed for no good reason
Put the figure into tons of waste
How high the pile would be if they were sacked on top of each other
How much energy will be wasted (ie something like enough energy to power 5,000 homes, or drive a Prius around the world or what ever.
Make them look like polluting wankers
At that point I see the whole problem going away real quick
Americans love to live in fear, Reds under the beds, Injuns, terrorists, blacks, Mexicans , Muslims, its does not matter much which, so long as you can be scared because scared people are more willing to let someone else do the thinking for them, even when they have to give up rights of freedom, free speech, travel, etc etc its all able to be taken away "to make America safe".
By their own logic the 96% of the worlds population who do not live in the USA should avoid US made products. This is backed up by the number of times the alphabet agencies have been caught illegally spying on their own people.

Because mass produced consumer goods cost too much to manufacture in the USA.

Help them...why ??? Why should their store be put on a different grading system than my job ?

Be thankful it was not a music track otherwise Germany would now own the US Navy.
This is all to drive the web in directions that Benefit Google , anything else is incidental.
NEVER argue with an idiot, they will beat you though experience. Trumps policies are based entirely on what he saw on Fox last.
And were they paid to install FBI backdoors too ? And Americans think they are better than China... maybe they are but each passing day the gap closes.

Quick the NRA has threatened to remove their funding so everyone should look over there while we accept payment and ignore everyone.

Statement of facts, not a troll.
Not Cold War , but fear.
Americans love to live in fear, Reds under the beds, Injuns, terrorists, blacks, Mexicans , Muslims, its does not matter much which, so long as you can be scared because scared people are more willing to let someone else do the thinking for them, even when they have to give up rights of freedom, free speech, travel, etc etc its all able to be taken away "to make America safe".
96% of the worlds population live outside of the USA.
Its won't take much for "USA First" to become "USA Alone"
By their own logic the 96% of the worlds population who do not live in the USA should avoid US made products. This is backed up by the number of times the alphabet agencies have been caught illegally spying on their own people.
