Where are the blue state Ds lining up to cut taxes and deregulate their states. Oppose Trump Tariffs to their logical conclusion. Don’t your taxes, minimum wage requirements, and regulations increase our costs? Or is this just all faux outrage - not tied to any consistent view of free trade. Of which the U.S. has been taken advantage of for years. Orange man bad so tariff bad!

Did trade end today?

“I lost my business during Covid. Been looking for work since.” —-Story shared by NOT ONE commie here ever

I think you are far more likely to hit on a legit CB 2 or better after round 3 than a legit starting DT. That said - if say 5 DTs are off the board and we think a CB 1/2 or even WR 1/2 is there that we feel confident is a starter I wouldn’t hate it. Trade up and round 2 and get a DT might be necessary tho. Maybe get like the DT 7 or 8 hope he hits. Biggins are going to go in this draft.

California’s population has increased (thanks to illegal immigration) from 33 million in 2000 to 39 million. Texas population in 2000 was 20 million. It is now 31 million. Largely driven by immigration - from California.

Good thread

For me - When corporate America went woke - but more then that - in conjunction with the Federal Government they obeyed their every Covid command and stood to come out the winners of the shamdemic. All the wealth during Covid went to them. Not one Democrat gave a ***t because they went woke in the process. California got to where it is as a Red State. It’s been full blue state and federal since the late 1990s. Ask this question in another 10 years.

All of those things happen - in Red States. And we agree. None of that has changed.

I mean if it’s that easy to do Biden wouldn’t have let them skyrocket the last 4 years. We will see.

My God how far you guys have fallen. Complete and total realignment : From The Nation in 2004: Toward a Progressive View on Outsourcing When Gregory Mankiw, the head of the President’s Council of Economic Advisers, remarked on February 9 that outsourcing “is probably a plus for the economy in the long run,” he added heat to a debate that has been growing in ferocity as American job losses have mounted and as trade policy has developed into a key issue in the Democratic presidential primaries. In an effort to help develop a progressive position on outsourcing–one that reflects a concern about the well-being of American workers and those in the countries to which many US jobs have fled–we have solicited three views on the subject. We invite readers to respond. –The Editors “Don’t worry; they’ll get better jobs in the service sector.” This used to be the mantra of free-trade supporters when confronted with the shift of auto or apparel jobs to Mexico or China. That line doesn’t work anymore, since service jobs, including high-skill computer programming, financial analysis and X-ray reading, are going overseas as well. Global outsourcing of service jobs is one of the most disturbing manifestations of the US government’s corporate-friendly approach to globalization and requires a fundamental reorientation of policy that will aid workers at home and abroad. Democrats have rightly seized on the issue. They are touting an array of anti-outsourcing proposals, mostly focusing on national measures, such as elimination of taxpayer subsidies. For example, John Kerry advocates banning foreign outsourcing of state and federal government contract work and would also eliminate tax breaks for firms that outsource, while giving tax credits to those that do not. …..But the comments of the Bush Administration’s chief economist were still infuriating. They oversimplified trade theory, for one thing. But more disturbing, they were issued by a member of an Administration that is presiding over a jobless recovery and showing only insensitivity to the considerable pain of massive job dislocation and slow wage growth that the theory itself predicts. Most important, the remarks, and most of the reaction to them, overlook the possibility that something new is occurring in the age of both the Internet and the rapidly growing low-wage economies in Asia and the Far East. For evidence, take the current recovery. Job growth may yet arrive, but by historical standards, a million or two new jobs at least should already have been created. Manufacturing jobs in particular, the easiest to export, are being lost by the millions and are now down to a level first reached in 1958. Weak labor markets are showing up in poor wage growth. Josh Bivens of the Economic Policy Institute points out that labor compensation has gained less in the current economic recovery than in any other in the post-World War II period. The growth of Gross Domestic Product is flowing largely into profits. https://www.thenation.com/article/archive/toward-progressive-view-outsourcing/tnamp/

The Chiefs are going to be a force putting Nolen next to Jones. Come on folks.

Go to the kids message board. You waste everyone’s time with your juvenile posts. The economy didn’t begin on January 20, 2025. Inflation didn’t begin that day. Our debt didn’t begin that day. The people that got us here - Covidians - should consider social distancing from any political discourse.

Oh no. There are a lot of your kind that believed Biden was sharp as a tack and an 18 month shutdown wasn’t going to fundamentally destroy the economy.

What was the plan? It’s only a ***t show in your TDS mind. Remember we were playing Weekend at Bernies the last 4 years.

What did Harris say was her plan? Joy?

Yep. AI is going to make this possible. You aren’t being told everything. Musk said it would be an age of abundance due to advances in AI The swamp however is terrified of this bc the tax system is how they control you. LIBERATION DAY.

Trump clearly referencing the pearl clutching of 4th&Gone "In the coming days, there will be complaints from the globalists, the outsourcers, special interests, and Fake News... Never forget that every prediction our opponents made about trade for the last 30 years has been proven totally wrong. They were wrong about NAFTA, they were wrong about China, they were wrong about the Trans Pacific Partnership... In my first term, they said tariffs would crash the economy. Instead, we built the greatest economy in the history of the world."

Run to the podium and take Nolen.

You serious? My God. The Covidians truly didn’t understand the ramifications of shutting everything down while pumping 8 trillion into the economy - and more - during Covid.

We told you that was going to happen for the next 10 years the minute 15 days became indefinitely and you didn’t care. This is part of a wider ranging economic revolution that’s happening here. This is the reset that was necessary. There is no more spending our way out of this. And the answer to your question is it depends. We don’t know.
