Believe it or not letters of marque are actually on the table.
But the loot from raiding cartels would be... drugs.... and so the cycle would just start all over again, but with different people.

Nah, I want licensed bounty-hunters going after illegals. Like this, but targeting fence hoppers and visa overstays of all colors. Pay them like $500 base and then some multiplyer depending on if the person had warrants or how long they were staying in the country illegally. Gamify the shit out of it because no way ICE is going to be able to get anywhere close through the existing backlog of deportation cases even if their budget keeps doubling.
 
boomers are the literal most entitled generation to ever exist and will be remembered forever as the worst generation. they are a caricature of greedy, amoral materialism and it's no wonder so many young people are sympathetic to dead systems like communism or fascism, because "liberal democracy™" offers them nothing and will likely die with the boomers.
Mark my words: thirty years from now, most people will be saying this exact thing about Millenials.

TFW all the "fiscal conservatives" who support "sound money" are mad the federal reserve won't cut interest rates and print money for partisan reasons to distract from a government's failed economic plan

Sir I will meet you half way.

Cheap money is bad because it leads to miss allocation of resources, and inflation.

The failed economic plans isnt there yet, let trump do the tariffs with out pauses and see what happens

I want 250% on china dammit

Can someone explain the "China's been cheating us" meme to me in some detail?

The only two points I know of when it comes to "cheating" is China manipulating their currency to keep their exports strong and them abusing USPS "de minimis" rules to ship chinkshit to America at super low prices. That's it.

How does China agreeing to do dirty work of steel and other industrial manufacture starting from the 70s their fault? It was America's businesses that made the decision to outsource factories to China. China just said "yes". That's it.
 
Yeah, they also got rid of a credit score check being necessary for fed student loans.

Honestly, I'd make it so that there's automatic job placements for people who did go through degrees but can't find employment. We're in a hyper-credentialized society that has garbage for entry level openings.
Isn't that just ROTC?

China also has the very nasty habit of stealing any IP it can get its hands on, and they run their production at a loss so they can have a much control as possible over industries they are involved in.

There's a bit more to it.

They generally do not honor contracts, because there is a cultural viewpoint that it's okay to cheat so long as you do not get caught.

Say you have a plastic container for your shampoo or whatever. What Chinese factories do is very slowly use less and less plastic in the container until you either notice or a shipment collapses. Now, when this happens, they know that the brand owner is fucked because they are typically on the hook for X units to Y retailer or what have you. So the Chinese factory owners then say "sure we can fix the issue, but price will go up."
 
Guys, did you hear? MAGA is going to face an extinction event soon!

I found the original tiktok: https://www.tiktok.com/@ohhthatsrich/video/7466912103945833758


This guy is your typical SCIENCE™️ Redditor, and I am missing the point he is trying to make with the credit card analogy. Your credit card not working and switching to cash still results in the same end goal of buying something, not to mention that the behavior isn't "extinct" you just had to adapt for a single instance and will use the credit card later once it works again. So I am not sure how this relates to MAGA on the macro scale?
 
Checked a bit and couldn't find mentions of this shit right here:

Only found out about it because of 4chins, and even then barely saw any mention of it.
What the fuck is this? How is a "christian" nation not having massive conniptions over this? Am I the only one seeing some semetic humiliation ritual here (yet another one)?
This seems like a major thing to me. Is it not?
Because you are not actually a christian nation. You are a secular nation with a christian background meaning that while Christianity plays a large role in your culture it is not the state religion (at least to my knowledge, feel free correct me). Being a secular nation means you cannot place one religion above another (in theory) so if your officials are going to celebrate Easter for example then they will also have to celebrate Ramadan lest they get accused of favouring one religion over the others which obviously results in those religions adherents getting a bit annoyed.
 
You laugh but they will ABSOLUTELY try and claim that. "JD Vance forced a dying pope into a photo op, it weakened him enough that he didn't survive."

There's a shitload of brainrot twitter users bemoaning that he was "So christlike" (Read: he agreed with them politically and demanded politicians let in more muslims).

Same users who would recoil like they were burned if you offered them a bible or heard the Church's teachings on men taking dicks up their ass or women slutting about or murdering their children because they're inconvenient to the slutty whore lifestyle.
Forgive if i double posted i'm like 20 pages behind.

I love the claim that it's JD Vance that's the theocratic authoritarian and not the bloody Pope who throughout the entire history of the papacy has been a theocratic authoritarian.

Non Chinese have almost no access to the Chinese legal system. So your ability to sue the Chinese company that scammed you is almost non existent. And Chinese people know this and exploit it all the time.

That's a really good point, I'll add it to my mental list. My understanding is that China has done better curbing clones of brands, but I still recall Musk explaining that he saw no need to patent anything SpaceX did because it would just make it easier for the Chinks to steal.

True. I've read about all kinds of scams that the Asiatic Jew would pull on new and experienced customers alike. One popular scam is/was: create the first order of products to spec so they pass the customer's inspection. They know the customer can't inspect EVERY batch so the subsequent batches are made at lower quality or loser tolerances. Then you get a shipment of (example) 1000 packages with 100 being perfect and the rest being unsellable garbage.

This is a good example, but I was more referring to how China as a nation has been cheating America because unscrupulous businessmen exist everywhere. In short I am trying to understand the Trump/Trumpist sneed about "CHINA BE CHEATING/STEALING FROM USA".

Edit: For some reason I can't edit my previous post right now. Strange...

They also manipulate industries into self destructive behavior so they can buy up foreign companies. The video game industry, for example, had what was apparently a Maoist manipulation tactic applied to it (I forget the name of it), with various forms of DEI and Modern Audience Sloppery... which causes the game companies to collapse after listening to the bad advice, allowing Tencent to buy the companies at 10 cents on the dollar.

They're doing the exact same thing with Hollywood. I'm sure they've done the same thing with manufacturing and a million other things.
Well this is something. Why does the nigga look like he's at the verge of tears
That's just the particular manipulation tactic he's using. (You shouldn't even have to read his early life entry by now.)
