we have approximately 41 million Americans on food assistance program. We got the poor.
We don't have the desperation, don't have the numbers, and don't have the time to build up a viable industry to rival our foreign competitors in 4 years. Trump needs iron-clad action from Congress if he wants the inevitable goal of greater self-reliance to keep going after he leaves office. There's no guarantee whoever he makes his successor will win 4 years from now.
This doesn't apply to all industries, however. Why the fuck are we shelling out so much money for textiles produced in Vietnam and Bangladesh, when the Antebellum South in the USA was quite literally where most of the world's cotton came until fairly recently?
The British Empire began looking for alternatives after the Union blockaded the southern states and the Confederates' embargo on outgoing cotton. After the war all the cotton the Southerners had been hoarding became nearly worthless because competitive alternatives had opened up elsewhere. The British no longer had any specific and urgent need for American cotton after that.

I'd like to be serious for a moment. The United States will never have the capacity to do what China does without the population of poors that China's got. You need hundreds of millions desperate and willing to take on just about any kind of work, while Americans actually expect to be treated and paid well.
We'd automate the factories. China doesn't have to do that cause it's cheaper to just get a slave to do work for them instead.

Automated factories still have workers. In fact, if all you have to do is sit around watching things and report if they get broken, heck, even women or black people can do that!

In the event globalhomo is truly dead and evil demons like WEF and co are truly defeated then the nukes would start flying. Why? Because they are petty enough to burn it all down simply because they lost. They'd unironically rather kill everyone and leave anyone unlucky enough to somehow survive to die is an irradiated hellhole than allow the world to heal and progress beyond the grasp of wannabe feudalists.
They are that irredeemably evil
Absolutely true. They consider history to be over. That means any changes to the status quo are by definition anathema to them. You aren't supposed to hope for anything better than surviving on the chessboard how they set it up. (Yes, they can move the pieces but that's different, they're allowed because they're the elites and know better than you.)

If this leads to the status quo being permanently destroyed -- if the US steps back and refuses to fund Europe's socialist programs while jeets and sandniggers are used to ethnically cleanse the West, Canada style -- then they absolutely will go full Sampson option on us. Of what use is a world that they're not the de-facto rulers? After all, they're the smartest people on the planet, we should all be so lucky to serve under their benevolent rule.

VIX is up 12%. What's that? I've seen it mentioned before in this thread.
 
I'm more openly wondering why the retailers themselves never more fully committed to an online model. You hear about people in charge getting their golden parachute and fucking off to ruin another company, so why not cut deals with or sell to Amazon instead of going bankrupt and losing everything any way?
They do. There's plenty of online retailers and stores that are exclusively operating online but the simple reality is they invested billions into retail networks and storefronts. They both do good business and there's money to be made. If I'm Target there's no reason to switch to an online only model in the next 20 years.

That's your (and a lot of other TS and right wing Americans) point of view but how do you think the moderate/independent sees it?
I frankly don't care about moderates and have viewed them as losers for a very long time. Look, I'm fully willing to admit that I am not the person you should be asking these questions to. The problem for me is that COVID absolutely broke me and my memory is far too good to ever let me forget everything that happened during COVID. The average American nigger can't remember breakfast last Tuesday, let alone remember everything that happened during COVID. I am not the average American. I do not forgive and I do not forget. I have an exceptionally good memory and I despise these people and this world.

I will never forget the mask niggers. The public humiliation. The rapefugees imported. The people willingly to sell me out for nothing other than asspats on the internet. I don't forget Jan.6th, Ashley Babbit, or Lakan Riley. I didn't forget the illegals and everything they've done all across the planet. I didn't forget the Muslims creating no go zones in Europe. I didn't forget the horror and atrocity that is Cuidad de Juarez. I didn't forget the kid they found hiding under a bridge in Austin because his brown shitstain parents threw him away once he was no longer useful. I don't forget the horror stories my ICE friend told me. I didn't forget about how Clinton tried to keep families together and it turned into a humanitarian disaster the Democrats immediately ended. I didn't forget how they demanded Trump then do the same thing Clinton did to try to bait him into creating a humanitarian nightmare.

Bottom line of all this sperging is, one side is very clearly evil and people who still dabble in moderate takes or the middle ground are either stupid or not paying attention. So their opinions to me simply don't matter because they're either inferior or ignorant. Neither are worth my attention. To me, that's weakness and I don't care about weak people's opinions. Even if they ultimately matter. There are plenty of other Republicucks willing to acquiesce to the moderates in the country. I am not one of them.

tucker's handlers decide it's the best time for him to advocate against striking iran
He's not wrong, really. The "lose the war" part is fucking retarded though, I don't understand that bit at all. I think he's just trying to send a public message to Trump, and i'm not sure what his game is with it.

The world that is factory work is vast and has a place for everyone. Some jobs are like classic I Love Lucy, sitting there in front of a machine spitting out doohickeys and making sure at least some of them fall into a box.

If you make it to something like machining, you better know the difference between a sine and a sign

Maybe he thinks an air strike would be followed up with a ground invasion and that would become another War in Afghanistan?

He might not be wrong but that tweet sounds more like he got a panicked phone call from certain people who may sponsor him
