You shouldn't. I wasn't arguing for that. I was pointing out other issues with all of this on top of that which has already been heavily discussed.

Even if you set aside the bigotry and hate. They have implemented this government-wide in the most idiotic and wasteful manner.

Over the last month, internally, federal agencies have had to waste insane amounts of employee time removing and assessing and sometimes altering/redacting, or explaining internal working documents for all the same reasons.

Incredible amounts of government waste and disruption of work just appease snowflakes who don't want anything to contain these words, regardless even of the context. And they had it implemented in the dumbest amd most unprofessional and disruptive manner.

Imagine coming in to work and finding everything down or blocked internally cause of this. With no notice. And then wasting a week or two in meetings at all levels figuring out how to proceed. Only to wind up explaining how 99% of these documents don't even fall under the context of this because they idotically did stupid fucking word searches, and trying to find out the policy so employees can get this shit behind and move forward with regular work.

They are NOT saving the government money with their shitty executive orders or shitty doge moronic stuff.

Sometimes you can also get "when was the last time you read your Bible?"

Remember everyone. View tariffs as kind of a federal sales tax. Sales tax typically affect lower classes more than upper classes. It will also compete with other sales taxes at other government levels. Those smaller governments rely on it more than the federal government.

Meaning, to grossly oversimplify, this will ultimately cost more for people with less wealth, and it will degrade your local governments ability to provide services due to less income.

To answer OP's question. They already have plans to pass more tax cuts for the rich (federally). That money has to come from elsewhere. This is one form of the elsewhere.

I don't murder all the time when no one's around to notice. You're welcome to everyone.

Perhaps it would help if you were to... say.... document cases of this. Perhaps a list and links to as many of these communities as you can point to. You know, to research and begin assessing.... the scale of the problem.... and maybe how to resolve it.

I feel like Joker is one of those movies that needed to be on its own. It doesn't feel like a Batman universe movie. It feels like a movie about some kind of mental illness that they slapped Batman related stuff on.
