[–] CobblerScholar@lemmy.world 40 points 3 days ago

Then he should drop dead like a true patriot

This would make sense if, for example, it were World War 2 and most production lines had to shift to support literally defeating the Nazis.

This is not that.

[–] aramova@infosec.pub 60 points 3 days ago

The problem is they're being shifted to enrich the Nazis.

So is a higher minimum wage SC Congressman. You guys are sitting at $7.25, right? ($2.13/hour for tipped workers)

[–] hydroptic@sopuli.xyz 32 points 3 days ago

"Not like that!"

[–] Rhaedas@fedia.io 24 points 3 days ago

SC is due to increase their state minimum to $8.25 next year. So that should fix everything. /s

The Hill is still framing the tariffs as if the country pays them: "x country is facing 40%" tariffs, instead of "US importers face a 40% tariff on importing from x country"

There's an error in that sentence. It's for the good of the people running the country. Not for the country itself.

[–] Supervisor194@lemmy.world 6 points 3 days ago

That guy's family might be in construction but it's a good thing he went into politics or he'd have run that particular builder straight into the ground. "running a deficit" You absolute cementhead.
