… Why were we allowing items into the country that were shipped through an uninhabited island to begin with? Like, that should be the red flag… They should treat it like losing your parking garage ticket, you pay the top rate.

Not understanding how to use new technology, even flawed ones, isn’t a flex

Let that man be a grandpa for like 5 mins…

That’s a very diplomatic way of saying: just the rich

After it bottoms out, yeah.

But there’s a saying: don’t try to catch a Falling knife.

And this knife is still falling.

Because everyone knows, if it was allowed to happen in the past, we’re not allowed to ever stop it from happening in the future …

They needed something to distract from the fact that they removed the stock ticker from their broadcast whole the market melted down

The grade schoolers getting shot at on a regular basis would beg to differ…

If you have to go back to before the concept of money was invented, you don’t really have a good point.

Except it was a lie EVEN DURING REAGAN’S term. He had to raise taxes multiple times to cover his own tax cuts. Guess who he raised them on? Everyone but the rich, who got to keep their cuts.

And even if we did, the Dipshit put tariffs on the raw materials any factories would need to actually make stuff. He literally made shit more expensive to make here.

Republican do conomy good

I cannot understand how this lie persists to this day. Republicans have trashed the economy in every single administration they had for at least the last half century. I’m an adult with children and my lifetime has not seen a Republican that was good for the economy…

Why do you think the example being trivial means that they all have to be trivial to apply? Examples are not all encompassing, nor do they seek to additional constraints that were not part of the definition.

The whole point of the fallacy is to disingenuously distance the group from acts that members of the group have done.

This is the opposite in the US. Government housing, when it was even attempted, was concrete trash, left to rot for decades.

Where are they living while they save up the several hundred thousand it costs to build one?

You’d vote for a president running on a platform they would have zero authority to enact?

You’re assuming I didn’t.

And my entire point was on those rare occasions where we did vote enough of them in to have a diving super majority (this shouldn’t be necessary to get literally the most basic shit accomplished), they DON’T do those great things.

They do the half assed bare minimum, which has not been enough to combat the backwards March whenever Republicans are even in anything other than the super minority.

I was just saying, that’s like 3x the drop the rest of the market saw, so you must have had a few very specific stocks that only had their supply chains through the hardest hit tariff countries

There’s a bipartisan bill in the Senate right now to force the tariffs to expire after 60 days if not approved by Congress. So they’re at least putting on a show of doing something. It mentioned it on the blurb up top

…but they’re ALL defective
