It's based on a fairly common interview question but spiced up a bit.

Does that invalidate what he said? Isn't that just the genetic fallacy?

 
 

We're running this the same time as usual at 8pm Eastern at the usual place.

If anyone wants to tip the balance on what we watch it's not too late.

True. But the US has a tendency to make exceptions for Israel. So the fact that he stuck to his math and didn't get Israel a special exception is a small win for US Israel relations. (aka making them more normal).

Basically it's exceptional that we didn't make an exception. That's kind of sad. But because it's exceptional it's worth noting.

 

That is perhaps that only silver lining in this. Is one very small indication that we are not entirely Israel's bitch.

I'll take one granual of sugar with my scalding cup of shit.

That's called chutzpah. People who take that strategy in life should be ignored.

My position is that no politician deserves respect.

This is why we should end all federal policing. It's not in the constitution. You were never meant to interact with your federal government. The federal government was for regulating the states, interstate commerce, and common defense.

So instead you'd like protectionism for corporate moguls because at least it isn't free market?

Found the communist so dedicated to communism that in turn he hates the free market so much that he'd prefer government backed inequality. Anything that points out that its wrong should be questioned as suspect as wrong think. It's funny how useful the anti-wrong think crowd end up being to corporations.

What makes you think he supports Trump? What a strange comment.

Bring on the downvotes but the correct answer is don't. Free trade causes jobs in each country to align with recardiant advantage in those countries. We have the jobs we want now. Unless we are in the middle of a depression we don't want government to "provide more jobs". We don't need more jobs. We want better jobs. The whole reason why manufacturing has slowed down in the US is that the global market for manufacturing doesn't pay as well per man hour as other opportunities we already have.

Tariffs disrupt existing jobs to bring back old jobs. Old jobs we shouldn't want as much as the jobs we have now.

If you want to work a job that someone else is doing right now you should probably expect to make close to what they are making while doing it. Actually less because you are increasing supply. Do we want Americans to make Chinese wages? Now some manufacturing in the US doesn't pay Chinese wages because its work only we can do, hence why it is here, and pays American wages. But if you want to "take back manufacturing" then you are talking specifically about manufacturing they have already demonstrated they can do. So any of that manufacturing will pay at most a Chinese wage. Why the hell would you want those jobs?

How am I not aware of that being a thing. I looked it up to confirm my stupidity but I ended up finding what I thought I would find. Syrup to add to coffee. I have never heard of anyone selling a concentrated coffee syrup.

Ok. That's valid.
