Welcome to The Hub. This is our welcoming tribe dedicated to introducing yourself, meeting new people, and learning about new tribes.
I try to limit what i say online. I was almost doxxed twice on reddit. I had to nuke two pretty large accounts because of it.
The autists are good at what they do.
They have taken over boys...
Unfettered capitalism, at its core, works to exploit labor and resources, and concentrate their wealth upward to a tiny elite class.
No, that's what greedy assholes do, and they do it under any and every system.
@MentORPHEUS Well, see I disagree. If he was doing what was in his best interest he wouldn't be opposing the globalists and getting shot at. He'd be retired on a beach and you'd never see him again.
And he does offer substance- tariffs are a fantastic way to level the playing field globally, especially when countries with slavery are unfairly competing with our labor market.
she just moved here from another country
I don't recall your having mentioned that before
@redpillschool I know, right?!
That sneaky fucker was hiding in plain sight!
@MentORPHEUS Yeah capitalism sure has it's problems. And so does everything. So I'm not really quick to jump on the anti-capitalism train.
We decided slavery is bad, so we said not on our soil. But then USA said, "but feel free to do the slavery elsewhere and then import it back into our markets for free!"
This isn't a third order symptom, it's a first-order floodgate that's wide open.
@MentORPHEUS It's a play you can make when you still have (one of the) largest economies in the world and regardless of where your products are made, you need to sell in the USA market to profit.. we still have that leverage for now.
You do need to wonder though, if it's such a bad idea for America, why does every other country have tariffs? Why is it uniquely our problem when we decide the trade deficit isn't fair?
The problem with your argument Mento, is that it relies on slave labor for the artifically low costs.
Your e-device, sneakers, etc shouldn't be $3 to make. The people making your goods are jumping off roofs out of desperation.
@Typo-MAGAshiv The famously Jewish podcaster who wears a yamika on his shows to remind everybody that the guy with big bushy eyebrows that talks about Israel all the time is Jewish? THAT GUY?
The problem with your argument Mento, is that it relies on slave labor for the artifically low costs.
What makes you assume that "my argument" is that this is GOOD?!?
Henry Ford had the sense to know that paying his workers well, so they could afford to buy the products they work to build, was GOOD for business.
Unfettered capitalism, at its core, works to exploit labor and resources, and concentrate their wealth upward to a tiny elite class. Putting tariffs on imports TODAY as Trump would do, is treating the third or fourth order SYMPTOMS of a problem in ways that won't address the root cause, and cause other WORSE problems, namely hyperinflation in the consumer goods sector but with no domestic production capacity in place to get incentivized by and benefit from it.
