       #tumpery #trump just decided that #bloodplasma in #USA should be at least 30% more expensive by setting #tariffs to 30% for imports from #EU their main provider of #blood #plasma This for EU has #VAT on all products, regardless where they are produced and always the same % for a specific category of products (VAT is country specific and can differ between EU countries, but everyone has it).Source: https://edition.cnn.com/2025/07/12/business/trump-tariff-mexico-european-union

       @NeonPurpleStar maybe after midterm elections things could normalize a bit, it looks good with two parties fighting over maga support, should hopefully give the democrats an upper hand.Sadly VIA hasn't been successful with their amd64 compatible CPUs, at least I haven't seen those and Zhaoxin provides their versions to ccp only, so there is just two options AMD or Intel which both are US companies 😞
