  • Tbf, he’s probably right that US manufacturing isn’t coming back, even with current nonsense considered. Trump, as well as the four year cycle of the presidency (if, unlike me, you don’t believe the republic is cooked) is too volatile to build a future on. Four years is a really short time to rearrange whole ass supply chains, especially with everyone depending on hyper fragile just-in-time supply chains. Plus, there’s always the chance that Trump could wake up tomorrow, declare victory, declare tariffs woke, and move on to the next shit storm. It seems likely that for the next four years, companies will use this as a cover to raise prices on top of forwarding the costs of tariffs, and do nothing to actually rearrange supply chains. In fact, if anything, I would expect smuggling to explode in popularity, but I guess we’ll see.












  • Nazis don’t give a shit about being hypocrites.

    They’re open and proud about it, they fundamentally believe that they’re right because they believe they’re right, and you’re wrong because you don’t. Shouting buttery males or pointing out leopard face eating is like throwing a cucumber at the terminator and expecting a reaction. They don’t give a shit. They absolutely will not stop ever until The Right Peopletm have all the power to the exclusion of everyone else.

    What matters is consequences. What are we going to do about it? We’ve had nearly two decades of high roading and it’s gotten us to a demonstrably worse place. Neither leftists nor the people the republicans intend to harm can afford for us to take the high road off a cliff. Stop expecting anything but hypocrisy or trying to show them how wrong they are. Stop letting them lead you around by the nose with reactions. Start focusing on what we’re going to do, start focusing on leading us somewhere new.

    Yeah, same with my dude, he wasn’t rich either, but I heard him lay it on thick one time and it was like I was suddenly filming for Nat geo, and I don’t mean that in a gross way. It was more like watching a ritual that was completely foreign to me, like I was bearing witness to lost knowledge. He was a supervisor, and I tell you, I never saw him write anyone up ever, but everyone would bend over backwards for him because he was just a super likable dude.

    Straight up, the best living proof of this I’ve ever seen was a fifty-odd year old co-worker whose face looked like if you stuck Don Knotts’ face in a microwave/centrifuge combination for about 45 seconds. Dude had teeth poking out forward at near right angles. He pulled so much fucking tail, it was a constant problem at work. Incels refuse to believe me when I tell them about it, but, just, shit, idk what you want me to say, this quasi modo ass dude had game, so what’s your excuse?
