re: If you buy from temu (yes yes whatever), they are showing tariff effects

Posted by CastleBravo on 4/30/25 at 6:03 pm
I think all sites should be transparent about the tariffs.

If i see a significant tariff i will look for other options that do not have a tariff.

An easy way to see what is made domestically.

But perhaps the one very obvious thing is we don't have the work force to build everything here. Where is the work force going to come from? You want to bring all apparel manufacturing back to the U.S. that takes more people. Same for many other industries.


Option 1: "We need lots of low skill workers for all this manufacturing you want to do!"
Option 2: "Low skill jobs are never coming back due to AI and automation. AI and automation enable automated manufacturing that will negate the need for low skill workers."

You have to pick one. Please at least try to be logically consistent.

It is a cartoon view of the world to assume that we will return to 1950s style manufacturing.

Like what?

I mean, i get that some stuff just doesn't grow here. Coffee, etc.

But anything else? We can make it here. There might be some lag time to build out the infrastructure, sure.

But "we don't have the capability" is a temporary issue.

A 0% tax when the goods are manufactured here in the US.

Its like people forget the purpose.

WE WANT THE STUFF MADE HERE. MAKE IT HERE AND THERE IS 0% TARIFF.

Jesus people.

re: Trump’s China Tariffs Set to Unleash Supply Shock on US Economy

There will be a shock as we de-couple from the corrupt Chinese ecosystem.

Companies that did not heed the warning will feel the most pain.

Dumb asses think meaningful positive change can happen overnight in one day.

Taking trump literally has been the hallmark of many a retard.

For sure.

I do NRI surveys in Kansas, Nebraska, and South Dakota.

I see first hand the nonstop irrigation to grow corn in what is basically desert. The aquifers in parts of Kansas are already starting to peter out or become too briny.

It is not sustainable.

Interesting.

Sounds like they may need to get jobs soon.

"Corporate mega-farmers farming the government for a handout."

Good.

Draining our aquifers to grow corn/beans to ship to china is not sustainable.

re: Ohio’s version of “school choice” just underwent its first major study: Here are results

Posted by CastleBravo on 4/27/25 at 3:13 pm
It is the taxpayers money.

They should be able to use it to pay the school of their choice for their kids attendance.

Any other metric is just noise.

re: They are refusing to have court in WI over the arrest of Dugan. More OBSTRUCTIONISTS

Posted by CastleBravo on 4/26/25 at 9:02 pm
Wow, they are willing to punish their local community by not holding court because of something out of their jurisdiction.

I am somehow missing the logic of it.

re: Are the fans in Austin on shrooms?

Posted by CastleBravo on 4/26/25 at 8:57 pm
It is the only thing going in Austin.

Local corporations buy up all the tickets and give them out as perks to people that don't really care about the university.

Normally that would be done for pro sports teams, but there are none in Austin.
