It will at least be extremely funny to watch all the right wing gamer bro chuds freak the fuck out when an immediate consequence of their actions will be that gaming pc components instantly inflate 50% in price.
Glad I already got my Steam Deck, fuck.
Bold of you to assune they won't just blame Dems because it isn't like reality matters.
20 years into the trump dynasty dictatorship, they will still be saying "thanks Biden" to every financial inconvenience.
They still blame Obama
I just said they would freak out.
Who they end up blaming is between them and their god emperor, I guess.
God Emperor*. I had to correct you or it would go against my Trump Score (TM).
Fuck the dems, too. Less people voted this election, than the last election. People didn't bother to go vote that should have.
If you think that's funny just wait for all the construction bros to discover that Milwaukee is now a Chinese company and their M18 HD12 batteries suddenly cost >500 a pop
And automotive guys figuring out a good chunk of their replacement parts are European.
Oh, that too. Most of these compact SUVs are built foreign because that's where they generate the most revenue. Imagine hitting a pheasant in your Chevy, a pheasant of all things, and getting a 10k insurance estimate because it cracked your made-in-Mexico integrated LED headlamp assembly and split your bumper cover
but but... Orange men said it was good for the economy, now I have to pay 2000 Dollars for a 5090? Why aren't they coming to America and produce here!?
Good luck spending 3000$+ on RTX 5090 graphics brick
With the way gaming has been going, wtf are you people even upgrading for?
Maybe we will finally get some optimised games.
Ahhaha, good joke.
No the future is everything is more expensive and worse quality.
Only without the cool tech :(
CHIPS Act? Never heard of it.
Oh, the thing Trump called "so bad" on Joe Rogan a couple weeks ago? He said that tariffs are his preferred strategy to force companies to build in the US. Maybe that was just rhetoric and you can't trust it, but he did say it.
As it stands, CHIPS isn't going anywhere, so at least Americans won't be totally fucked.
actually I didn't.
Its a pretty strategically and economically impactful piece of legislation pushed by, and then signed into law, by Biden, in 2022.
It basically sets up a bunch of tax incentives and funds to go toward building out domestic computer hardware research and manufacturing.
Its the kind of thing that would lay the foundation for the US building a lot more of its own computer hardware, instead of importing it.
So when the Trump tariff apocalypse hits... assuming the CHIPS Act does not get repealed, it will be the only saving grace in terms of possibly lowering computer hardware costs.
Trump and Republicans are likely to try and take credit for this, if domestic chip fabs start coming online before 2028, pretending it is something they came up with.
It’s a small price to pay to keep pronouns away from our games.
I don't think that goes far enough. We need to keep all nouns out!
Grammar is too woke
yep! and by then it's too late. they've already shot themselves in the foot, they just haven't felt the pain yet.
edit - and honestly, if we were actually producing all this stuff locally and competitively, I would be OK with these chinese tariffs since it would encourage buying USA-made. The problem is that we arent, and probably won't be for a while. we'd all suffer in the meantime.
This post is my reminder that I should probably upgrade my graphics card this December, rather than waiting for any other time.
I guess there will be many people thinking that, driving up demand->increasing prices before any tariffs even exist.
