Don't want to use a condom because muh feels and don't want to use any birth control? Well then you're rolling the dice and you're a fucking idiot for complaining when it comes up snake eyes.
What engaging in premarital sex does to a mf. How about you just be sensible and track your wife's cycle? You can fill her womb as much as you like so long as she has a regular cycle and you pick the right days. Never had a pregnancy scare, never used a condom except the very first time.
 
Talking with some people on YouTube about the ban on snacks and soda sales with SNAP another issue popped into my head. Not only will there probably be an impact on the company's profits that produce the snacks and soda which will lead to people losing their jobs there will also be an impact on the US agricultural industry. These snacks and drinks are produced with corn and potatoes two of the biggest crops in the US. If the companies lose profits due to lack of sales, they will also stop producing as much since they don't have enough people buying their products anymore. This means they won't be buying the stuff needed to make their products. This is going to affect American farms as well.

If anyone remembers from Trumps first term in office when he went after China over trade one of their responses was to stop buying soybeans and corn from US farmers. It was so bad Trump spent a week assuring the farmers that the US would protect them by subsidizing their loss in income. Basically, giving the farmers welfare for their crops that China stopped buying. It's going to look pretty stupid if the Republicans have to come out and talk about how they are subsidizing US farmers because they are seeing a decrease in profits because the snack food and soda companies stopped buying their products. Like I said most of the products are made with corn and potatoes. Corn chips popcorn potato chips. Even Cheetos and cheese curls are made with corn. Then you have the soda. What do they put in the soda? Corn syrup made with corn. This is going to have a wide ranging impact. The soda companies won't need to buy as much corn syrup anymore and the people who make the corn syrup won't need as much corn. You can see where this is going.

The only reason why the snack food and soda companies haven't come out bitching is probably because they don't want to talk about how much of their profits come from SNAP recipients. 5% would be bad but it could be even more. Like 20-25% of their profits could come from welfare.

I don't think the Republicans have any idea of the size of the shit pile they just stepped in.
Considering you can get coke and frito lays in virtually any country in the world, their profits will be fine. SNAP is not as big a deal as your concern trolling makes it out to be.
Well that isn't going to work if it really is their plan. That never works.

Once China actually tries to do something big enough where the media can't hide failure, expext things to change. They have had the easiest ride the last 30 years and are sniffing their own farts.
China is arrogant and thinks its the center of the world. Smart went out the window a while ago.
You do realise that farmers and producers can be flexible with their volumes and products, no? It blatantly shows that you never set foot on a farm nor a factory. Honestly, get a fucking job and talk one-on-one with a production manager because your perspective is created from being inexperienced and the having the hubrus to think that arguing with Youtube commentors (lmao) serves as a good source of information about the industry.

If you want to be informed about the soda industry you can read the following basics (big reads, but you can just read the interesting parts):
1. Carbonated Soft Drinks Formulation and Manufacture (link) (About production and logistics)
2. A rapid review of stocking and marketing practices used to sell sugar-sweetened beverages in U.S. food stores (link) (About pricing, marketing and logistics)
3. A content analysis of the aims, strategies, and effects of food and nonalcoholic drink advertising based on advertising industry case studies (link) (Marketing)
Really all taking soda and chips off SNAP means is that people will have to buy it with their own money. Like everyone else. The free ride is over. It won't affect the companies at all
 
you are a special breed arent ya?

What year does the line in that there fancy city graph of your start ascending buddy?

So, you're telling me you're a NEET who's diet is processed corn snack food. All you do in this thread is simp for corn and porn. Let this song tell you what to do.
 
Nigger did you not fucking see how the Japanese navy got felted because their fucking ship doctrines were fucked it didn’t matter how many fucking ships they had they got blown the fuck up by carriers and American subs.
Wasn't that because of a combination of factors? Mainly their failure to target US carriers during pearl harbor, and superior US manufacturing capacity?

Who outproduced who? The Japanese entered the war with much more experience than the Americans

There was many points involved but having fucked up boat configurations such as half carriers and getting waffle stomped in the battle of midway is more of problem then their reliance on their Chinese holdings for the resources to pump out shit ships.

Their assumptions were faulty and they underestimated how fast the United States would respond. Pearl Harbor was supposed to be a preemptive strike that set back naval capabilities in the Pacific in a major way but it didn't do enough in the grand scheme of things.

The japs had the ship advantage for the start of the war another example of big navy’s getting btfoed by smaller ones is the Spanish getting clowned on by the British and later getting clowned on by Americans. Big navy only works if you keep up with modern warfare tactics.

To be fair, fighting with outdated strategy and tactics is often going to end in failure to some degree no matter what regardless if a battle is taking place on land, at sea or in the sky.

Failure to adapt is just as bad. The United States is just as guilty of this and has "lost" to angry peasants and cave dwellers because they wanted to fight their way instead of adapting to do what was necessary to win.

Battle of Midway was a very close thing, we largely won it because one of their scout flights failed to spot our carriers and communicate that fact, and we got the drop on them because they were operating under the wrong doctrine due to that reconnaissance oversight. Moreover, even getting the carrier group into place for that battle involved insanely rushed repairs at Pearl Harbor and carefully foiling Japanese attempts to gain info on our fleet movements. It was one of the battles that the War in the Pacific hinged on, and it could have gone the other way had the Japanese had just a few extra pieces of intel.

We “lost” to them because we refused to go complete total war on them which is good or bad depending on your perspective.
