Doesn't Bernie eat babies foreskin?

Unidentified sources have confirmed that Bernie Sanders does in fact eat babies foreskins.
Unnamed whistleblowers have alleged that Bernie Sanders eats babies foreskins.

Politifact
Rumor: Bernie Sanders eats babies foreskins.
Fact: While Bernie Sanders has not been observed eating babies foreskins per se, he has been seen eating, and he has been seen around babies, so it's not out of the question that this is true.
Our Verdict: Mostly True

Hey, this whole "not caring about the truth" business is fun!

It doesn't work like that. Making everything in-house won't lead to a plethora of jobs. The US is a huge exporter. You think they won't retaliate and cause other sectors to implode? Autarky is an economic loser. Always has been.

The issue is the manipulating of currency, subsidies, IP law, labor and pollution regs, etc so they have a competitive advantage in trade with the US (the EU does this too with their anti-GMO bullshit). The fight is to leverage US tariffs and and exports so that they implement rules to level the playing field. Not to bring more $9/hr assembler positions to the US.

I want you to look at Pacific cargo shipping to the Americas-
cargo shipping only.PNG


That would be zero.
If a ship was loaded today in Asia it would take at least a month before it arrived at an American(north or south) port, before that happens the Americas will be entirely out of that shit.
How much of the "savings" will be lost in the price we pay until Asian manufacturing/shipping resumes?


If the US needs low wage slaves there's and entire continent of them just south.

Agreed that it's not just as simple as "more jobs," and there are other policy solutions that will go a long way towards keeping things fair. However, it certainly can't hurt to bring more manufacturing back to domestic shores. There's the obvious reason that we're seeing now with Wu Flu: in a time of crisis, we shouldn't have to depend on antagonistic countries for necessities. But consider also that there are tons of communities that have been completely hollowed out because their hometown industries have gone out of business or offshored, which has had a lot of long-term ramifications that have hurt millions of people. But globalist dogma demanded free trade at any cost, so screw the plebs, new mansions won't buy themselves!

China has been getting away with this shit for far too long, and a reckoning was long overdue, not just with them but with the globalist ideals as a whole. Trump understood that our nation would only truly be healthy if we had policies in place to protect our people, and not only did that help him win, but it also forced some realignment of the political parties in the process. Now Republicans are seen as more of a working-class party, while Dems are for the technocratic elites with gibs for the poor to keep them in line. I don't see Trump backing down against China, even with the virus; if there's one thing you can tell about him, it's that he loves a good fight.

He told them to start buying what they need now through direct contract and not wait for the Feds to start equipping.

Isn't that the best course? He's basically admitting the feds are slow in these processes so it's better to directly order items. Whats to get mad at him about something everyone knows

Pretty much. They're gonna get reimbursed anyway by FEMA once they've declared a State of Emergency and start submitting invoices for what they bought.

Then again, "Orange Man Bad" so Twitter twats gonna twat so...:stress:

That was an issue long before China came around. The Japanese economic recovery (and shitty US practices) killed it long before. It's dead. Long dead. It isn't coming back unless the US adopts their mass manufacturing techniques and practices. Which won't fly without some hard changes. If you see anyone willing to adopt Japanese salaryman culture around you let me know, ok?

What can help make what the US does manufacture more competitive globally and inspire growth is levelling the playing field. Undo the years of bad trade deals and looking the other way as nations and trade blocs stacked the deck against US goods. Think back to the glory days, it wasn't just Americans consuming US goods, it was everyone. Just getting back our local captive market isn't going to fix it. You need to make it so everyone wants a piece. The US is a global leader in tons of things (agriculture, timber products, aerospace, etc) and closing it off to 7 billion just so the manufacturing sector can exclusively deal with 300 million Americans in an artificially inflated market is a stupid decision.

Does it pay to be this stupid? The reason there isn’t Disneyland is because it creates large gatherings. The reason we don’t have toilet paper is because alarmists like you contribute to people panic buying more than they need.

Uh, Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, Malaysia, hell even Vietnam. There are lots of countries over there that the US trades with. They all hate China's guts. None of them have curtailed exports. Your map doesn't say what you think it does. We aren't going to run out of Toyotas and LG dishwashers in a month.

Sure.
And where is that cargo shipping at the moment?
Not between Asia and the Americas.

Are they seriously shitting on DOs?

MDs are trained to be shills for pharmaceutical companies and therefore it has been encouraged. And some of them I assume are good doctors. That is a huge reason why you don't see DOs everywhere. I prefer to go to a DO given the choice. What the fuck is wrong with these people?
Click to expand...

DOs can and do write just as many prescriptions as MDs, and the MD and DO schools follow a nearly identical curriculum which, I assure you, doesn't include "pharmaceutical shilling".

Are you sure you're not thinking about chiropractors, and not DOs? Chiropractors don't write any prescriptions, because they can't, because they're not allowed to, because they're quacks.

Putting a lot of stock into one map interpreted by someone with no experience and with no reference or hard data aren't you?
A quick google search says Toyota kept up production until at least the 2nd and that supply problems are only theoretical at this point. So where are all these cars they made? Sitting on a dock?
