For those of you in countries other than the USA, how many Chevys, Cadillacs, or Ford vehicles do you see on a daily basis?  Know why you don't see as many as Toyotas or BMWs? Because your county has had outrageous tariffs and/or crippling regulations on the USA for years, causing American-made vehicles, as an example, to be outrageously expensive compared to the Volkswagens, Hondas, or Audis.

Bro's never been to Europe. Majority of the US cars are simply too large for Europe's roads and cities. And they consume way too much gas - not a problem in the US with cheap gas, but a huge deal in Europe. Basically only Tesla is producing cars suitable for Europe - and surprise, they were happily selling cars in Europe, until Elon went into nazi mode a few months ago.

The tariff + VAT when importing a car made in the USA to the EU is about 30%. This is banditry, parasitism and theft of money from US citizens. Only the Democrats supported such a parasitic EU policy.
At the same time, when exporting cars to the USA, the Americans took only 2.5% tariffs from the European parasites.
Only thanks to the US patriot Trump, today the US introduced 25% tariffs on cars exported to the USA. And I think that this is very little, it is necessary to introduce 30% to 40% tariffs.
And there is no need to talk here about how American cars are bad or big and that all the cities in the EU are very narrow, etc.

What a BS comparison. We pay in EU 19-20% VAT on ALL cars. And what? You pay no VAT in the US on cars?

There is no such tax as VAT in the USA.
Therefore, the budgets of the Euro countries receive income from both the tariffs they impose on the USA and the VAT that US enterprises are forced to pay when exporting products to the EU.

That's nonsense - VAT is sales tax (which I've certainly paid in the USA also).  It applies to EU and locally produced goods no differently to any US import - in this country you pay VAT on a hotel stay for example and the rooms are certainly not imported from USA.

Thanks to the incompetent idiots in charge, we're on our way to a recession.

I anticipate that many companies with either start downgrading or cancelling their microstock accounts from sites like SS and AS.

My SS sales has dipped in the last few weeks. Less big sales and less daily downloads.

Just brace yourselves for what's to come and stop supporting people who are economically illiterate.

Right wing troll.

You're not wrong - funny how government responsibility for external events varies based on who's in power - quote from the OP on another thread below.


These folks have a different opinions / core beliefs that depend on the wind direction on any given day


"A lot of economies were hit far harder than the US. To say that the US was hit disproportionately harder is a lie. Look at the chart below. The UK was hit far harder.https://ourworldindata.org/covid-health-economyThe dollar is the currency which all other currencies measure to. If the economic activity in the US is low, it's going to fall. The fall of the dollar is directly tied to US economy, which has been greatly affected by the pandemic. It's a black swan event.The national debt will always rise to unprecedented levels. Even rising a dollar from yesterday is unprecedented. The rise of the national debt in 2020 is also directly tied to the pandemic. The economic stimulus plan didn't come out of nowhere and it was supported by both Republicans and Democrats. The 2nd stimulus plan, which is being discussed right now will further add to the debt. The Republicans has proposed a conservative plan, while Democrats propose a plan loaded with pork. They want to include hundreds of billions of dollars as a blank check to poorly run Democrat-controlled cities. They want to include billions in free handouts to unions. They want to bail out failed cities like Detroit, Chicago and Baltimore. And when the bill hits home, they're going to point the finger at Trump, and say "The national debt rose to unprecedented levels under Trump." and pretend they're angels.https://www.bostonherald.com/2020/10/12/pelosis-stimulus-bill-an-unhelpful-spending-spree/I'm also paying roughly the same price for food that I did in March. If some food prices rise, it's because of supply and demand, not because of the something Trump did. You're reaching far too much to blame black swan events on the president."

As instigaters behind the civil disobedience in the streets, Burn, Loot and Murder BLM leaders should be charged as accessories to every crime their group commit

• civil disobedience by definition is non-violent - a willful but peaceful opp0sition to unjust laws. also, a willingness tp submit to arrest we/o resisting. think thoreau/gandhi/MLK
• BLM 'leaders' have not murdered anyone, nor have they condoned violence or arson -  a small number of outlier violent acts were committed at protest - nothing compared the murders and other violence by proud boys, boogaloo, and other white supremacists who trump has praised & encouraged

The peaceful demonstration at the capitol turned bad when riot police caused the problem. This was a peaceful occupation until then....

Trump incited the mob to storm the capitol, even promising to march with them  (just one more of his daily lies). the crowd broke windows and forced their way into the capitol where they took selfies of themselves looting and destroying federal property - all felonies!  one of the stupidest mobs in history!

Actually not only Rep protesters there was also Antifa and Blm troublemakers!

Let's see how many get picked up by cops and fbi - so far it seems to be just idiots and puppets of the far right (while no puppet masters so far and not the really scary dude like the guy with the plastic hand ties obviously intent on serious violence)

The cynic in me thinks this has been implemented on purpose to cause a smokesreen

Yes, it certainly does make you wonder.  The old one allowed you to see daily earnings of all types on a single page, and now it takes multiple clicks to get the same information.  There was no problem with the old version and no clamoring for improvements so why go to the bother of changing it unless there are ulterior motives.  It's terrible that we have all become so cynical.

when all's said an done we still know what sold, when and the resulting $ - I prefer this to what getty tells us

balance on stats page - gone
amounts on stats page - gone
option to view monthly - gone
subs sales data - gone-
detailed image earnings - gone

sales reporting was always *, especially since PP/Subs produced most of the cash but at least the info was there somewhere...

This much - actual rpi in blue, flattened trend in 6 month blocks in red

What does a brexit look like?

Thanks for posting I would not have known about this otherwise

I would like to see a stocksy-ish site created for us plebs.

I wouldn't join any elite club that would have me as a member

I don't believe for a second.  Look at the monthly earnings thread there and you'll see the type of earnings reported by folks with thousands of images.

DT takes them as additional format
