Democrats are held accountable. Trump is not. Trump doesn't have to work for you. He's your BOSS Bitch. It's called an authoritarian leader.

Oh that's cute. You think he cares about you. LOL

What's funny to me is you think Trump and Elon are going to MAGA for people who fall into both the average and median

50-somethings​

• Average net worth: $1,132,532 (ages 50-54), $1,442,075 (ages 55-59)
• Median net worth: $272,800 (ages 50-54), $320,700 (ages 55-59)

America is already great for the people who fall in the average. But Trump is going to make America even GREATER for them. For you who fall in the median, he is going to fuck you hard dummy.

/—/ It’s not greed. It’s lower costs, taxes, environmental and government regulations.
If a company is to survive, they need to be competitive.
Chinese made jeans are one third the cost of American made. Same with many other products.

tariffs will make Chinese products comparable to US products, that is the whole point. you can still buy the Chinese junk, but you will pay as much as the american products would cost, again, that's the point.

 

[Redfish]

You're missing the point. There are no MADE IN THE USA, equivalents to those imported products. We need to address that first, before imposing tariffs, which will only increase prices for those goods, without providing a domestically produced alternative.

tariffs will either cause US companies to enter the market or cause the foreign companies to locate factories in the US. it may take some time, but it will work.

Even I admit that I'm torn on this subject. It depends on the product. Even Trump admits it's not going to be "across the board" tariffs. Only things that make sense.

And this was always the Democrats position on free trade. Some industries need to be protected. Like the US Auto jobs. Without those high paying jobs, bye bye American middle class. We see what happened when Bush sent 1 million of those jobs overseas in the 2000's. We see the economic despair of those people who lost their jobs, pensions, healthcare, and will NEVER find jobs that pay that well EVER again.

Anyways, the other day I saw China has a $100 hearing aid that's just as good as the American hearing aid that costs $5000. I say FUCK those American made hearing aid companies. They've been gouging us long enough.

Years ago my company came to the USA to avoid tariffs. So we have a ABC USA Co. Now we are "headquartered" in America. Even though the parent company is in Germany.

But what about the machines we order from Germany and China? We did what you asked years ago. NOW you want us to move manufacturing here too?

Bullshit. Hillary committed three felonies thar we know of, she walked.

Biden had secret documents from when he was a SENATOR! That means they were STOLEN!

Who did he sell those secrets to?

/----/ Based on what? If that's just your opinion, well, you'll be disappointed.

No she didn't. In fact, Trump made what Hillary did a felony after he got into office. Then the dumb mother committed that FELONY.

So you are wrong. Should I even bother reading the next two sentences? I won't. I'll focus on your first sentence. The LIE!

Who did Trump sell those secrets to? How would I know? One thing we do know. Trump told an Australian Billionaire our nuclear sub secrets. And he told 20 people. And they told 20 people. And so on, and so on.

Trump allegedly shared potentially sensitive information about US nuclear subs with Australian billionaire​

This article is more than 1 year old
Anthony Pratt, a member of Trump’s Mar-a-Lago resort, allegedly shared submarine details with former Australian PMs and journalists, according to media reports

You're an idiot.

No, illegals are not criminals. They are just visiting. If not for them taking uneducated blue collar workers jobs, all they are doing here is visiting. Are you breaking the law when you go visit Canada or Mexico? No you are not. Only if you work for someone illegally. And what harm comes from an undocumented worker who takes a job here in the USA? They are taking jobs from Americans. And bringing wages down. You know who agrees with you? Unions. You're being very liberal and it's bothering you. I know. Continue to insist you didn't or don't want wages to go up.

You're the first one to flip flop on this. Nice. Gonna be a fun 4 years.

I hate to be the one pointing this out to you, but if you are here illegally, you have already broken the law. And now I have to note that I find it interesting that the very people complaining that workers are not paid enough are also screaming bloody murder that we can't deport anyone here illegally because we can exploit them for cheap labor, while simultaneously admitting that paying workers more means higher prices.

What a turnabout.

tariffs will either cause US companies to enter the market or cause the foreign companies to locate factories in the US. it may take some time, but it will work.

We shouldn't wait for the "invisible hand" of the "free market" to MAYBE motivate local capital to build factories. It can take decades to restore our manufacturing base if we rely on "market forces" to MAYBE do it at some point. We need our government to not just protect local manufacturing with tariffs, but incentivize and subsidize a new era of industrialization.

However, the outcome of that won't necessarily be more good jobs, because, in our modern age, we have advanced, intelligent automation (autonomous machines/robots), AGI..etc, so we would be building factories that may require ten times less human labor than before (than back in the 1950s, or even recently in the 80s and 90s when more human labor was needed). Nonetheless, the nation will still benefit from local, automated production, allowing us to be self-sufficient, and free of relying on China and other countries for those vital consumer goods. We need to be able to produce all of those products here in America.

The US government is going to have to get involved in facilitating this new era of American, automated production.

Yes, you did break the law. But now that you are here in Michigan, you are not committing a felony being here. You committed the felony when you crossed.

It's like Trump's felony. He committed the felony in 2018. Just like a person who crosses the border in 2018. The felony was committed in 2018. The illegal here today is not committing a felony in 2025.

On January 12, 2018, The Wall Street Journal reported that Michael Cohen paid Daniels $130,000 in October 2016, a month before the presidential election, to stop her discussing an affair she allegedly had with Trump in 2006.

You only committed one felony so you shouldn't face consequences? TRUMP! would be interested in hearing that you think that.

And why are you supporting the exploitation of people for cheap labor?

/——/ I wear hearing aids. The $5,000 hearings aids are $1,500 at Costco. The $100 ones from China are just amplifiers. They can’t be adjusted for specific hearing loss ranges, or for uneven loss like mine. 80% loss in my left ear and 20% loss in my right.
No different than drug store reading glasses for $20 and complex RX glasses from an optician for $400.

 

[Cellblock2429]

Do you argue that same thing when politicians promise to raise corporate taxes? The same thing happens, higher prices.

/——/ Nope. Libs love taxes on mean old greedy corporations.

We need them. I want my social security. You poor whites aren't breeding enough or working hard enough. Your kids are in the basement playing Xbox and watching TikTok.

I didn't say you shouldn't face consequences. They should serve the same amount of time Trump served for his felony.

Why are you supporting a felon?

Naw, I replaced myself and my wife. We're all good, and the kids are running their own families now. I don't think Xbox plays a large role in their lives, but hey, keep imagining things. Now why again do you support exploiting people for cheap labor? I thought you wanted high wages for all workers.

I didn't say you shouldn't face consequences. They should serve the same amount of time Trump served for his felony.

All felonies being equal in your eyes? Maybe we should force them to spend millions on legal defense and have their lives torn apart daily by people with a rabid, irrational hatred for them. Would that suffice?

Why are you supporting a felon?

Because the alternative was a disaster even worse in the making. Why are you supporting a prosecutor who incarcerated young black men for nonviolent offenses and kept them there after they were supposed to be released?
