Those who claim that tariffs will destroy the economy then turn around and say that limiting credit card interest rates for one year will cause millions of people to lose access to credit cards. This logic is truly contradictory. In fact, the one-year interest rate cap is essentially no different from the current promotional and introductory rates on credit cards; people have long used similar promotional terms. What appears to be an aggressive policy has actually been rehearsed by the market long ago.

Haha, double standards, is that all? --- So the logic is just to win two rounds? --- Promotional interest rates have been played out long ago, why is it still not working? --- These people really say whatever they want. --- The market actually predicted this long ago, that’s the key. --- There’s nothing to fear about the one-year interest rate cap; banks do this every day. --- A typical economist’s selective amnesia. --- Basically, they’re just protecting certain interest groups. --- Let’s see what their next excuse will be. I bet five bucks they’ll come up with a new one. --- How long have introductory interest rates been implemented? How can a one-year cap mean the end of the world?

Haha, this double standard is really skillful, shouting "wolf" while contradicting oneself. --- Anyway, no matter what you say, it's all reasonable, just like arguing for the sake of arguing. --- The promotional interest rates have all been used up, what are you pretending for? The market has already proven it. --- People with chaotic logic love this kind of rhetoric the most, it's quite annoying. --- Instead of obsessing over this, why not look at what the real data says? --- I think they are just opposing for the sake of opposing. --- Such contradictory statements really need to be pointed out more. --- Things that have been tested in market practice are still being called a flood of monsters, good grief.

Basically, I've seen this theory before, just like when I was farming an airdrop project last year—people always love to overcomplicate simple things. Limiting interest rates is no different in essence from a promotional period; the market has already gone through this process long ago. Why are so many people acting as if the sky is falling?

Ha, this logical loophole is really amazing, double standards to the extreme --- Same old rhetoric, I'm tired of hearing it --- Promotional interest rates have been around for a long time, and now they suddenly become a flood of monsters --- Come on, the market is not fragile at all --- Destroy the economy? Laughing to death, that's an exaggeration --- These people love to contradict themselves --- Credit card users are still using them, how can they lose access --- Seemingly aggressive but actually gentle, this is the truth --- The same set of rhetoric, double standards applied to different policies, incredible --- Introducing the legal existence of promotional interest rates for so long, and now they finally point out the problem?

Haha, this logic is really frustrating; that's how double standards maniacs are.

This logic is indeed broken; the double standards are too obvious.

Well said, these people are double standards players, always talking about economic laws and then turning around to spread all kinds of doomsday fears. Honestly, the promotion interest rate strategy has been played out long ago, and now they suddenly pretend to be doomsday prophets. With such huge logical flaws, they still have the nerve to complain? The market's resilience isn't that fragile; some people just love to create panic.
