All Trudeau needs to do is implement a reciprocal tariff that also increases by like amount. Boom, now you have an infinite tariff loop and a single transaction in either direction is enough to create infinite GDP.

Checkmate, economists.

Ya honestly Trump is so fucking stupid that it's starting to feel like he's doing a bit. Like is he mocking his own supporters at this point? I think the world needs to respond to trump with something exactly like this. Infinite tariff loop is actually a policy I would support unironically.

Well his first though after he clashed with Zelensky was "That will be great television"

Sound to me like he is just thinking in tv drama plotlines, but unlike on tv you can't just cancel a show when everything goes to shit ...

No, it's because he has got orders to make a spectacle so he just says what he thinks, that it's gone on for x minutes now time to enact the ambush, then he comments on the "great television" because he has accomplished the oligarchy's mission to stage this farcical peace talk.

Long before you get to 100%, everybody stops buying it. Zero times anything is zero.

They can go above 100% too. Canadian chocolate bar $420.69 when?

yeah, but 0 times infinite is undefined, so who knows what'll happen ;)

[-] EddoWagt@feddit.nl 5 points 2 years ago

Is it though? Wouldn't 0 times infinity still be 0?

[-] racemaniac@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 2 years ago

Nope, look it up, it's undefined.

You can define things that boil down to 0 x infinity that equal anything you like. It's undefined and is dependent on context. Infinity isn't this one number, it's a concept that encompasses a lot of things, and the way you achieve an infinity matter.

Isn't it anything divided by 0 is undefined? Granted, I only have a more or less intermediate level of math, but I was always taught that multiplication by zero is always zero. But then again, zero is weird and can break my brain just as much as infinity does.

[-] racemaniac@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 2 years ago

Indeed, any number multiplied by 0 is zero, but infinity is not a number.

So then it starts to depend on what the 0 actually means, and what the infinity actually means, and depending on the context 0 x infinity can be all kinds of things.
