Hanson's oversimplification and populist rhetoric plays well to the Fox news echo chamber and provides MAGAs all the confirmation bias you need to disregard the reality that you are living.

Well said

So you’re looking for a manufacturing job that pays 15 bucks an hour? Market forces have largely driven the global economy to where it is. Trying to undo normal market forces in general is a bad idea.

"Normal market forces"? Taxing your country so high that they take their business elsewhere is a normal market force?


Good to know.

It’s very amusing hearing that MAGA now supports the largest tax hike in the history of our country.

You do realize he did the majority of that as a card carrying democrat?? Seems everything you hate about him is ingrained in your political party

And he realized he could better get away with that behavior as a republican. What does that saw about your political party?

I don't have a political party, but I do have standards.

Yeah, the largely billionaire Soros-funded "Organic" paid "Protesters" are out today. They were being bussed into D.C. earlier. It's the same plot we've seen for years now. lol

lol @ having to pay people to protest what the kakistocracy is doing.

Especially considering how much the price of eggs seemed to impact their functional purchasing power for the entirety of 2024.

Massive crowds across the US today, great to see so many patriotic Americans protesting the lawless, feckless, felon.

Which of my fellow volnationeers protested today?

I don't have a political party, but I do have standards.

Standards. So you didn't vote for Clinton (pedo rapist) Obama (murderer) I dna keep going ..you standards seem to mirror what is accepted by the DNC...and Trump was no longer accepted in 2016..nice try

(1) It's the working class that bears the brunt of the tariffs.

(2) How does putting tariffs on coffee from Brazil or vanilla from Madagascar end the "globalist order"? Are we going to start growing those things in Indiana?

The Seiko Heritage green titanium would be a nice choice. At 38mm, it is in the sweet spot for wrist presence, and the Ti feels amazing on the wrist.

Thats tiny for my man wrists. I'm more a 42-45mm dude.

I'm looking at getting an Omega Speedmaster Racing. They have one with orange on it. I always try to get some watches with orange. I have a very loud orange Doxa Sub stashed away somewhere..

 

[FLVOL_79]

You guys keep saying this, as it's some defense to to Trump's idiocy, but in 8 years of Obama, and 4 of Biden, they didn't employ the dumbest method of tariffing ever devised.

It almost seems to me that Trump is trying to erase anything Biden did or that happened during his term in office. Hired more feds? Fire em. Stock market went up? F#ck that hold my near beer. Grocery prices went up? I'll show Biden!

If I were a more cynical person I might believe that this is just pure vengeance against all of America for not electing him in 2020; Hanlon's razor says otherwise.

Good to know.

It’s simple economics. Wages are a lot lower in a lot of foreign countries so manufacturing has left here and sought cheaper labor. That’s it.

You mean like Biden did with all those EOs he signed when he took over from Trump. If I were you, I would want Joseph Robinette Biden removed from the memory of the American public as soon and completely as possible.

It's amazing that so many people in the greatest nation in the world can have such a persecution complex^ from a global perspective, and that your solution to that persecution would include "everybody take a gigantic pay cut."

I was being sarcastic. It seems you guys have no understanding of economics or profits

It’s simple economics. Wages are a lot lower in a lot of foreign countries so manufacturing has left here and sought cheaper labor. That’s it.

U.S. federal government regulations cost an estimated $3.079 trillion in 2022 (in 2023 dollars), an amount equal to 12% of U.S. GDP. These costs fall unevenly on the major sectors of the economy and on firms of different sizes; the findings indicate that compliance costs fall disproportionately on small businesses.

Dems dont have a problem with regulations, yet tariffs oh no the sky is falling,

So you are using trump's behavior as an example of what WAS accepted the left, but is NO LONGER accepted by the left... but is CURRENTLY accepted by the right. Checks out.

No crap. That's why Trump is doing what he's doing. Try to make it better for manufacturing.

Wages are what wages are. Taxation is also a big part of it for the corporations. Why did so many corporations flee to Ireland under Soetoro?

What I find interesting is that the left apparently doesn't give a **** about child/slave labor, because these tariffs will go a long way to quash that as well. I guess cheap **** is more important, eh?

Dems don't care about the private sector. It's gov control through regulations.
