Then you have sheep and the mainstream media just ignoring this fact and crying about Trump and how this is going to destroy the country. Have people always been this retarded or is the hatred for Trump really this bad?
Click to expand...
Both. People are retarded. And the uniparty hates trump.

If Biden or any other DNC stooge did this, they'd be praising them. But they never did this under their leadership because America to them is an economic zone. Meant to be taken advantage of.

Why does a net food exporter import basic groceries like milk?
Click to expand...
we don't need to. our dairy industry KNOWS it's self-sufficient. if you've seen the amount of milk that's wasted constantly, it would make you angry.

there is no actual necessity to buying food from outside the US for basic necessities, only for luxury items which always increase in price during any economic hardship. if you want american farms to have the job of supplying the vast majority of american basic necessities, you need to make sure that food imports are more expensive than simply making and shipping the food within the country. you cannot simply subsidize the milk production, because that will do nothing but result in simply adding dumped milk to the already retarded amount that's dumped out even ignoring times like the pandemic, where demand for things like this dropped.

that's why the argument that the poors will be most affected by this is just wrong. it's already been laid out, they just don't like it, so they continue to act like literal children and don't address a single point made. you can look and see that they will attack people like me personally but they will not provide the alleged explanation of the economics to anyone, even to 'own' me, because they don't have one. it's not even worth it to engage with faggotry like that, because it's done out of ignorance or spite, neither of which will be cured here.

Correct me if I'm wrong but isn't it why the government cheese caves exist?
Click to expand...
yes. it is a surplus stockpile, and it is 1.4 billion pounds. that's the kind of dairy output the united states has, we can just keep 625,000 tons of cheese on hand. almost all of our out of country dairy purchases are specialty products, meaning high dollar luxury goods, which poor people do not buy because it is retarded to buy luxury cheese when you can get a brick of cheddar for dirt cheap.

What amazes me about gubbmint cheese is that I didn't know cheese had a shelf life of decades. Those caves must be stinky.

it's a fascinating read that came about basically because we had a dairy shortage in the 70s.

Cheese Caves and Food Surpluses: Why the U.S. Government currently stores 1.4 billion lbs of cheese

Hundreds of feet below the ground in Missouri, there are hundreds of thousands of pounds of American cheese. Deep in converted limestone mines, caves kept...

Tariffs on fucking Penguins.

i know this is probably a joke, but apparently the penguins shipped us 1.4 million dollars of "Machinery and Electrical", so there was absolutely someone taking advantage of a trade loophole somewhere.

The thing is, good Intel comes from talking to a lot of different people including some people who are a bit batty.
The trick is, 90% of the shit they say may be retarded, but if you can validate 10% you act on the 10% that's quality and actionable.
Just because she's batty doesn't mean she knows nothing or isn't correct occasionally. Yoy just have to double check and see if you're hearing the same from multiple other lines.

It's not a weird thing at all. It's a short, punchy, visual manipulation tactic. "He's literally tariffing a bunch of penguins, what a stoooooopid dood head." It's why you keep seeing a bunch of idiots repeat it, because it's dumbed down to the point that idiots can remember, laugh at, and repeat it. It doesn't have to have anything to do with reality. It just has to be something idiots can laugh at on command.

Yeah, say what you will about Loomer, but she's been correct a lot, especially lately.

next time someone does that, cite the 1.4 million in exports to the US recorded by the world bank in 2022, and ask them what the fuck those penguins are up to over there that's got them exporting over a million dollars in machinery.
