Why would someone run a business exporting goods into a country if they couldn’t charge more than the cost of duties, labor, and materials for the goods?

And since we haven’t moved the needle on the minimum wage in decades, people will be making those low-added value products at starvation wages.

That’s one of the stupidest things I’ve ever read.

The economic angle was – I thought – to make shit like this break through to “conservatives”. Since that doesn’t seem to work and they care about their own bullshit goals no matter the impacts and suffering they cause (economic or other) I too think we should just fucking stop it.

Boss baby playing government

Edit: the people that take this asshole at his word and seriously are the same chode jugglers who nod continuously at every company all-hands

Restart your android before going through customs

Except nobody molested your phone.

On a related note, where others see domestic terrorists vandalizing Teslas, I see potential buyers that just want to go on a test drive.

America is basically the scumbag Steve meme from the early Internet.

😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆👍

Don’t worry, Trump is buying a Tesla. That’ll make up for it.

Trump is basically Cartman from South Park.

The American electorate is mind-blowingly stupid.

If you’re into that kind of fake tit, dead in the eyes kinda thing…which I’m not.

Boebert is the shadow land version of AOC. My apologies to Naomi Klein.

GDP is largely a bullshit metric anyway.

Two economists are walking in a forest when they come across a pile of shit.

The first economist says to the other “Ill pay you $100 to eat that pile of shit.” The second economist takes the $100 and eats the pile of shit.

They continue walking until they come across a second pile of shit. The second economist turns to the first and says “l pay you $100 to eat that pile of shit.” The first economist takes the $100 and eats a pile of shit.

Walking a little more, the first economist looks at the second and says, “You know, I gave you $100 to eat shit, then you gave me back the same $100 to eat shit. can’t help but feel like we both just ate shit for nothing.” “That’s not true”, responded the second economist. “We increased the GDP by $200!”

He was cheering the invasion and said Putin was a genius for timing it when he did or whatever.

Dude, I was watching live coverage of the 01/06 proceedings and saw the early breakouts of the problem and then the devolution of it.

Wanna know why I was watching such a boring, non-event? Because everyone with a Twitter account, the ability to read, and a pulse knew that Trump’s supporters absolutely were going to try something on 01/06.

If I knew there was a good enough probability that something would go down that I was watching live coverage of what’s typically not even something anyone ever talks about, the event was completely and utterly predictable.

I never had the U.S. switching sides on my bingo card.

I don’t know why anyone was caught flatfooted by this when it was clear to anyone paying attention that if Trump was elected, his plan to end the war was to hand control of Ukraine over to Russia.

This was as obvious and predictable as the January 6th insurrection.

Petition your governments to drop IP laws for US tech companies like Doctorow is encouraging. If the US isn’t going to honor trade agreements, hit us right in our gold plated scrotum.

Inheriting is more important than working and has been for some time now.

I made all of my money by working, but my success is to some extent related to being born to parents that paid for my college provided I made decent grades in high school. (And the luck of having access and interest in the early Internet in the mid 90s due to inheritance.)
