"If China also increases tariffs to 104%, the prices of American goods including Apple and Tesla will soar, and Chinese will pay a greater price for their favourite American goods."
Both Teslas and iPhones are made in China, so they’re not subject to tariffs.
 
and fancy deli meats.
They may take my life, but they won't take Pop's Moon's Palace.
I think it's hilarious all of these women who undoubtably bragged to their friends about how they sucked [insert rock star]'s cock under a table immediately ran out screaming DIS HAPPEN! when #MeToo came around.

Whatever would give them the most attention.
The fact that Asia Argento, one of the creators of #MeToo, got caught red-handed fucking an underage boy she had known since he was 7, and nothing happened to her really did a number on the legitimacy of that movement.
Xi was given power in 2013.
Fair enough, but Xi was still highly active in the party prior to Hu Jintao's "retirement." I don't think it's fair to say he's a bumbling apparatchik.
That's the fuckup, I get it's an early call, but the way Trump is picking up Democrats signals that protectionism is part of the "endorse breathing air" strategy.
We'll all find out what happens soon enough. I'm definitely in favor of Trump than Biden's horseshit "Green New Deal."
I will believe it when I see it.
 
I don't doubt your experience but that is under pre-tariff circumstances. Now every industry will try to do the same. The supply of raw materials will not be able to keep up with the demand of every firm trying to reindustrialize their particular industry.
This nigger thinks that supply chains work on Paradox Victoria 2 logic, lmao.
 
OMFG JEWS BTFO

Effective immediately, individuals who engage in antisemitic behavior—whether online or through physical harassment—will be ineligible for U.S. visas or permanent residency. The United States will no longer offer immigration benefits to those who promote or participate in antisemitism.

If the goal was to organize political purges based on denunciations of corruption, he would be my first call. Understanding the political landscape of a nation with universal sufferage?
IDK bro.
 
It's unreal how many adults will have childish tantrums if you take their phones away. Phone addiction is real.
I've documented for my wife exactly how bad it is for her, and she's not even on X, Insta or Tiktok, just basic bitch Facebook or group chats. It's literally the phone's UI that drives the dopamine chasing. The tactile feel of the thumb swipe, the chimes, UI animations, etc.

It's like carrying around a slot machine in your pocket, even without the app-based psyops.

I'm not saying Xi is a master geopolitical strategist, but China isn't where it is right now for nothing. He's betting that the US will blink and Trump is pulling the ol' LBJ, flopping his dick on the table, and calling that bluff.

I have a now-deceased relative who was in the Secret Service and on LBJ's security detail. LBJ had a massive hog and would whip it out as a goof. Those stories are 100% true.

I know we have some issues with getting raw materials, but we can still get them. I'm not an expert in every corner of the economy, but we aren't working totally at the mercy of tariffs, as the news may imply.

For example, our company ordered a 6 month supply of steel as a buffer. We have it. It's not like people running manufacturing businesses are totally clueless. We knew Trump was going to do this and we were ready. Our plant could easily double it's capacity, we've never had trouble finding welders or electricians or anything. We pay close attention to every market fluctuation. Beam steel went from $0.86/lb before Covid to double that, now it's at $0.80. We survived that, this is no different, it'll go up again. Markets are all over the place all the time. We buy more when the price goes down and stockpile.
 
They kept their children out of church because religion was a bore and a burden and so even the backstop of moral instruction from society was eliminated. And then the parents mocked the religious as deluded and outdated, so the chance of their children stumbling on that instruction independently was deftly prevented.
Earlier this year, my lefty father (who actually watches Vaush) asked me if there are "any minorities" in a concerned tone who attend the church I've been going to for the past year. I don't know why he would even remotely care about what goes on in churches if he lives a secular life.

To be fair

"deny immigration benefits to those who engage in or support antisemitic harassment, terrorism, or ideologies, particularly linked to groups like Hamas, Hezbollah, or the Houthis."

You can still Jew post sort of

Antisemitism is a great shit test tho. Most likely they hate America as well.

Then I guess us natural born citizens will just need to be twice as antisemitic to stand in for our legally immigrated and now muzzled brethren.
