    US needs DRAM more than DRAM manufacturers need the US market. Plus, no way Trump’s AI buddies who is buying up the DRAM supply will agree to pay the tariffs.

    I really don’t see the issue -tariffs on U.S. imports just mean fewer chips sold in the U.S. and more available for the rest of the world, right?

      And it’s not something new. They’re recordings of him from the 80’s saying that the US got full of Japanese cars because of the lack of tariffs

      That’s not true, often be threatened to invade places. Two notes.

      But he just learned “whole milk” is spelled with a W, so he is learning new things.

      Yup. I expect nothing less from a silver spoon moron that daddy bribed officials for his “prestigious” BS in economics.

          Then good news for you, if you are in Canada, global demand is about to go down a bit, and the prices will go down for us non-Americans in a couple of months. More PC gaming for us (🎉 I guess)

          How can he post it there when someone has to set up that website first? This is a lemmy instance hosted in Canada, nothing wrong with being away from the bigger ‘centralized’ instances and posting something gaming relevant.

          I wish your comment wasn’t downvoted as it is fair.

          While this community is hosted on our Canadian instance, I believe that it’s still fair to post here as we (for better or for worse, currently worse) share close borders with the US and in the PC parts marketspace; generally whatever happens in the US tends to have effects up here as well.


          Extras:

          Funnily enough in this case however; Trump’s decision will likely make markets outside the US better, Why?: well American companies themselves will likely redirect incoming parts to other nations as the tarrif cost will be difficult to bear in such short notice.

          • we saw this happen during Trump’s initial tarrif snafu and we’re probably gonna see this happen…again. What a fucking moron.

          For my American friends, this really blows and I’m sorry :/

          For those who I know, when I’ve got time I’ll try to calculate if it’s worth shipping parts into the US from Canada. It’s so stupid that THIS is the timeline we’re living in.

            No it’s not a fair comment, it completely misunderstands how Lemmy, Piefed and the rest of the Fediverse works.

            It’s like complaining about Canadian news being posted on Reddit.com, because Reddit is a US website.

            Or complaining about introverts being on Piefed.social.
