Donald Trump has threatened to place a 100 percent tariff on Barbie maker Mattel, after the company’s CEO said it would continue to manufacture outside the U.S. but would be reducing its reliance on Chinese imports.
“I’ve heard [Mattel] said: ‘Well we’re going to go counter, we’re going to try going someplace else,’” Trump said in the Oval Office on Thursday. “That’s OK, let him go, and we’ll put a 100 percent tariff on his toys, and he won’t sell one toy in the United States, and that’s their biggest market.”
In an interview with CNBC on Tuesday, Mattel CEO Ynon Kreiz was asked whether it would be cheaper to relocate some manufacturing to the U.S. due to the tariffs, but responded: “We don’t see that happening.”
Those were pseudo-documentaries. Don’t Look Up matches reality better. And the topic doesn’t have to be science related for the comet metaphor to work.
It’s funny because after that we found out that a comet probably won’t do that much damage if it impacts over the ocean.
Don’t look up is the Donnie darko of the 2020’s.
It really wasn’t that great.
Maybe Donnie darko crossed with Napoleon dynamite, in that it’s "humor"seems to be something that only hits with certain people. Imo it was too stupid to be funny (and not just the Republican straw men)
I can see its humor not clicking with some people, but it had to be over the top otherwise it would be far too on the nose. Outside of delivery, would you argue that the main points it was aiming for were valid criticisms of Western society?
