  1. Give me a break. California has its place on top of the world because of Silicon Valley. No one considers Mississippi an economic powerhouse.
  2. Oh so the “economic force” part of that post doesn’t apply? Strange. Hes also doubling down on getting Greenland.
  3. Yeah, you’re spot on. Manufacturing jobs suck. They’re dangerous and pay nothing. I’m glad we can automate as much of the process as possible. All we’re doing is making ourselves much less efficient, which is ironic coming from the side screeching about DOGE.
  4. Hear me out. I, the modern consumer, want my goods as abundant and affordable as possible. Insane protectionist shite like today’s tariffs or the Jones Act prevents that. It makes goods scarcer and less affordable. If I have the choice, I might consider buying an American made item, but it by no means is some kind of deal-breaker whether or not it was made by some guy in Ohio pushing a button on an assembly line all day or some machine in Bangladesh. Trump had one thing correct today - China is killing us on shipbuilding. But his solution is all wrong. We prevent ourselves from building like that. Our insipid unions prevent us from automating our ports. The Jones Act prevents international ships in our waters. Thus, it matters little to me where my goods are made. So long as they’re safe and not made by gulag labor in North Korea, no skin off my nose. Sorry.
  5. Why should we care about American made again? Like, why are our workers inherently more important?
  6. One way or the other, you’re going to realize globalism is the future. It’s not 1880 anymore.
  7. Well hes tariffing uninhabited islands so I'm gonna lean “no” Oh for chrissakes, the gold standard is never coming back. You can’t gimp your economy by tying it down to shiny rocks.
  8. Apparently it’s “extreme” to want due process for people charged with crimes, to support the arts and sciences, and to want free global trade. MAGA is opposed to all these things.
  9. Funny how the “independent thinkers” tend to be lockstep with the MAGA movement.
  10. Musk has more than triple the fortune of Soros by the way
  11. They have none. Why did Trump ignore a court order of protection?
  12. How will this generate revenue when costs are simply passed on to consumers?
  13. Hey buddy, just checking in on this dog**** elitist nonsense. Am I allowed to be upset yet?
  14. I’d rather have the Parkinson’s research.
  15. When Rogan is the voice of reason in this situation, it’s a good sign that MAGA is the bad guy.
  16. Will that get you to stop tagging me in this thread?
