With such a sharp divide, sometimes I wish we could separate north and south states. They can have their own country with no government "handouts" and we can have ours

Some people are unable to see the programs beyond "paying for it", and so they think it's like an exclusive club where you shouldn't get access if you have no money. It's only logical until you ask why we even have a government in the first place and see that the most ruthless governments are also the most exclusive ones

The amount of people who didn't understand Colbert was performing satire was terrifying

Look up 2006 white house correspondents dinner on YouTube

Remember when they had Stephen Colbert roast GW during the dinner? That was peak comedy. These guys are such losers they know Trump won't be able to handle being roasted, and somehow that's OK for a world leader.

I mean we (anyone who has observed reality or knows history) already knew that. The poster above probably thought "tariffs = foreigner disadvantage". There's not really such a thing as a US-only car company so there is no advantage whatsoever to be gained- it's inevitable that these US car companies have global supply chains to take advantage of specialization, not to mention labor and parts only made overseas. Even if you could bring everything inhouse, everything would more expensive. There is no "more cars for less money" because not only do we not have all the parts manufactured in the US (meaning we're forced to import), but labor is more expensive. It's all a waste of time and resources

They call it a dream because you have to be asleep to experience it

Prices increase in response to increase in costs- this is so basic it's covered in introductory econ courses and applies to all businesses. Adding costs to production has to be reflected in the final price. Tariffs pretty much never help consumers- they prop up inefficient industries that can't compete with global trade. In general, global trade with low tariffs is better because of specialization

Is there a paywall-free version of this article?

So people who were in here legally during the last administration will be considered here illegally because "I didn't like what the previous guy did". Why would anyone think any legal document coming from the US is legitimate if they can do this? Our futures are being sabotaged.

More like charging availability imo. Not everyone has a garage to conveniently charge in after a day's work. If you make charging speeds fast enough like with gas, you can negate that though.
