IT’S OFFICIAL, FOLKS! Trump thinks he can just slap tariffs on our friends abroad and watch us ‘compete’ again? Newsflash: this only hurts the little guy (and the planet). Just got word from Acer CEO that those tariffs have already led to a 10% price hike for laptops in the US. That’s right, we’re paying more for the very devices that are supposed to help us succeed in an era of ‘American greatness’. Meanwhile, Trump is too busy coddling his corporate pals to care about the real American people. Wake up, sheeple! It’s time to stop voting for politicians who only look out for their buddies on Wall Street.
Laptops aren’t funko pops, no one’s buying extra cause they want to get one in every color. People buy them out of necessity. So no this isn’t gonna discourage anything, maybe it’ll get people to try and repair their older laptops, but because of corporate greed, most modern laptops aren’t designed for repair ability, rather they go out of their way to make it harder to repair, and they don’t release sufficient schematics and spare parts needed for repair, not to mention there are only so many technicians or tech savvy people with the know how to repair them.
