  • A : You know how i blocked all news sites at the start of 2021 to avoid spoiler for Avatar 2, and then forgot to checking them again
  • B : Yeah, we have been meaning to talk to you about that…

  • A : Well i just checked the news for the first time, and why is the economy tanking ?
  • B : Uh, the president is mad at other countries and imposed lot tarrifs.

  • A : Wait who’s the president now ?
  • B : Donald Trump
  • A : …Still ??
  • B : No, again.

  • A : Ok, fine, what’s a tarrif ? Why he is doing it ?
  • B : You know that pizzeria your company order from ? They don’t buy anything from you right ?
  • A : Why would they ? We do geotechnical landscape surveys.

  • B : Right so they are ripping you off ! You are paying them tons of money and what are you getting for it ?
  • A : I mean…pizza
  • B : See ? They are not helping your buissness at all. What a ripoff !

  • A : What would they even buy from us ? I guess we could survey a pizza
  • B : Yes, perfect ! You refuse to let the delivery driver past your security desk unless they venmo you for a equivalent value of a lidar scans

  • A : Wouldn’t they stop taking our orders ?
  • B : Perfect, balance restored !

  • A : Ok, but still i want pizza.
  • B : Can’t you just make one ? You have all that gear.
  • A : i don’t think a pizza made with lidar diodes would be very good.
  • B : Uh ? Why is everyone so picky about about toppings ?

    Sorry for being blunt, if you voted for Trump or support him in any way, i would recommand to blacklist this community so we can reach a mutual understanding.

    Would you like to explain in more deepth ? Or explain why it is a wrong way to depic tarrif ?

        I find the comic accurate as it depict well market manipulation and extorsion.

        Beside the comic, the tarrif is doing an amazing job :

        • being unfair to everyone. USA big tech could help america’s workers with their benefit and marketshare, don’t you think ? (We have the same problem in France) We are talking about billions of data from anyone using their service, without our consent, sold to third parties. It could help their spies, knowing every companies project…
        • severing our trust with usa governement and citizens.
        • destroying dollars as its main exchange system.
