That’s actually a way more relevant take than my original comment. He’s still acting like tariffs are fees paid by foreign nations, when in fact, they’re paid by the consumers in the nation imposing the tariffs.
Sadly (for those of us stuck in the US), the only people who will be hurt by these tariffs are the people whose best interests he’s supposed to be responsible for.
Explaining his approach to the tariff policy that has triggered weeks of turmoil on global markets, the - president compared the US to the world's department store.
"I am this giant store. It's a giant, beautiful store, and everybody wants to go shopping there," he said.
"And on behalf of the American people, I own the store, and I set prices, and I'll say, 'If you want to shop here, this is what you have to pay.' "
This sounds like the thinking of a dictator, not of a leader. He doesn’t own the “store”, the people do.
I’ll follow you into battle any day.
Instant $3k, and you never have to lift a finger.
I don’t know, man, that still sounds like a lot of work for $3k – especially given how easy it is for politicians to accept ~~bribes~~ donations from lobbyists.
Do I think a Trumpist Homeland Security Secretary would be petty enough to commit insurance fraud for a measly $3k?
Actually yeah, that does sound pretty likely when you put it in those terms.
Idk man, I’m just happy this fake “AI” crap has consequences.
My boss (a C-level) was just telling me about how “AI agents” are so amazing and we should build one to replace our procurement department. Things like this (where they claim “AI” but it’s really humans offshores) make him think AI is a lot more capable than it really is, and this makes it harder for me to keep him from imploding all of our jobs.
First I laughed, but now I’m seeing the genius.
I can’t believe these holocaust survivors are so antisemitic!
