Leopards Ate My Face

I'm hearing "holy shit, how are those dipshits so ineffectual? Why dont they use any of their power when they're the minority like mine does?".

No, because they'll immediately vote conservative the next chance they get anyway.

No amount of suffering will cure the vast majority of these people. They will be licking the boot even as it crushes their skull in their final moments.

Accelerationism has never proven to be an effective means of combatting conservatism.

The billionaire disease remains, though.

I’m not sure that tariffs being a constant back and forth in congress is a bad thing

Too bad, unless we leave the country we will deal with it for the rest of our natural lives. Just that every cycle the average person comes out broker and broken

There's no getting rid of them now and the coming generation being any clue, it's only going to get worse over time

Imagine a world where disliking people like Joe Rogan and Andrew Tate publicly gets your family disappeared, because that's where we're heading despite a fucktonne of idiots coming after to say 'nuh uh!' like they always do.

So sick of conservatives breaking shit like children and then demanding liberals clean it up.

So sick of the stupids breaking shit like children and then demanding normal people clean it up.

I understand that this is sarcasm.

But you just watched Democrats hand over their best leverage by opting not to shut down Donald's government and voting with Republicans, so, they're not entirely wrong. We don't have legitimate opposition. We have a minority party performatively putting up a false pretense at opposition, sitting back, and watching their stock portfolios soar.

I think it comes down to 2 parts, one being that tarrifs is what were used prior to income tax in the U.S., the time when "robber barrons" thrived and could grow their wealth easily. So the heritage foundation is trying to drive down income taxes and reintroduce tarrifs so they can legally make as much money as possible while not having that money they pull in pay for America's well being. The second I believe is that the money starts in a separate pile, and ultimately goes to the treasury still, but previously since that "pile" had far less in it before it will look like the government is collecting a lot more money when directly comparing that pile to that pile over than last 50 years. So he can say he increased our revenue by bolognanumber% to show he is doing well, while ignoring that higher costs decreased purchases which in turn decrease states income from sales taxes. So states will make less, and be more dependent on the federal government. Which if the states don't fall in line, the federal government can/will disperse funds unevenly to states who don't lap the federal governments balls.

So it comes to a game of taking from the working class and states money/rights as much as possible to keep them fully dependent while growing insanely rich, but not pissed off enough to rebel, or if they do.. not have enough resources to be able too.

I thought tariffs went directly to Treasury.

He wouldn’t do it if it hurt us

lol

i work for an importer. My family are all college educated. I still have to explain this to people who have business degrees who should know better. The single most important thing I do at work is make sure the taxes and tariffs are paid before the shipping container gets released from the ship.
