Why yes i want all sandniggers out of the country, thank you.
That was my thought. 99% or more will be middle eastern.
I just got this interesting promo email from Varusteleka, the world's best military surplus store based in Finland.

If tariffs only apply to products/orders over $800 then it won't effect your average person. Tariffs are confusing.
This is great news. wanted to get some new hiking boots. It would be nice if there was a good American Milsurp store though.
 
along the lines of all the manufacturefags talking about basic shit that somehow people don't know, particularly the fact that existing American manufacturing works under capacity and could be kicked up without creating any more infrastructure, it's also annoying me extremely that people don't realize the American train system exists along constellations of towns that are panting to be manufacturing hubs

the housing is there, the transportation is there, the local infrastructure is there - city government, sewer lines, fire departments, schools.

all of this is *already built.* it just has to be made profitable to make shoes those places again. and that gets done by tariffs.
 
And stop acting like the US is the one who fucked up the world. That shit went down when the European powers carved up the world in like 1600.

Gotta give it to the Eurofaggots, they managed to convince everyoen that their problems are the fault of a 250 year old country instead of them.
The Treaty of Verdun and it's consequences have been a disaster for the human race.

It doesn't know what to do today.
God, I love finance. All we need now is a massive meme stock to reddit up again, Cramer to convince everyone to panic sell, Apple to declare the apple pro vision 2.0, Trump declaring Laos to be now Americas number one ally and some Chinese diplomat declaring a %800 increase in tariffs (for third rate rebar).
 
One complaint about trump I have is that he isn’t pushing nuclear power enough, it can’t be understated just how much of game changer having nuclear power for your country ensures it will prosperous.

It's strange, while both have libertarian tendencies Massie in the past at least seemed accepting of tariffs. I don't know if he has changed his stance or not. Maybe he is fine with tariffs but wants lower taxes?

Rand Paul (and Ted Cruz) are more concerned about it though apparently.
No matter how you slice it, tariffs are taxes. Many libertarians would be more receptive if the existing taxes and regulations are seriously curtailed.
Trump has talked about reducing income tax, but before that happens it will increase everyone's tax burden, increase costs overall for everyone. This is what they're saying. They're (mostly) not reflexively against because muh orange man, but because they see costs and taxes increasing. This will decrease economic activity elsewhere. If you spend more for X, then you may spend less for Y.

Those are unseen economic consequences.

Laotian? What ocean?
 
What if it was destroyed by Chinese separatist completely unrelated to the trade war? How about if it's hit by a stealth attack with no proof we are involved? It sounds like this damn is a ticking time bomb if there going to nuke America whenever it eventually collapses like every other Chinesium product anyway.

I suppose ending the world rather than manage the humanitarian crisis it's collapse would create is a solution. Also I agree China is so weak their basic infrastructure can only be defended with threats of ending the earth "ancient Chinese secret" lmfao
Mother Nature might just do it. People were thinking the rainy season in China during 2020 would cause it to collapse.
