And when those slaves actually start making a half decent wage, they've got to up and move their factories again to the next poorest country. India, Thailand, China, Philippines, is Africa next? Constantly moving factories is inefficient as fuck. The net result is economic stagnation for countries that are already at the top of the economic ladder, and massive economic growth for countries at the bottom of the economic ladder. Those charts you posted, assuming we stay on this course of free trade, won't start to look better until global labor prices have equalized. Basically once the world is equally poor across the globe, then and only then, can the United States start to actually move forward economically. Or we could just stop subsidizing the economic development of the rest of the world, but we both know that's not gonna happen.

These are predictable consequences of using cheap labor to drive down prices instead of actually making better products. It's a race to the bottom.

I don't follow. Are you implying that DHS etc. was instructing FBI's confidential sources? Doesn't the DHS have their own confidential sources to instruct?

Both of which are the property of the state :up: When you harm yourself, you're harming one of the state's tax slaves

Was malfeasance really "exposed"? As far as I can tell, they've admitted to instructing 3 CHS to be there, and haven't even admitted to treating them any differently from a law enforcement perspective. With 26 CHS just happening to be there uninstructed, they're of course admitting that they have confidential sources all over the place but that's not exactly news. Why would Director Wray resign due to this report am I missing something

Any honest proponent of tariffs will acknowledge that there is at least a short term cost to it.

Anyone know how much they pay a CHS? I might sign up for that

Clearly there must have been some reasonable doubt. Still awaiting a logical rebuttal. Instead I get only this ^. I never declared that. I simply declared that free trade has the capacity to be harmful (seems like a reasonable statement), and then posted a scenario using assumptions and logic to demonstrate that.

Last time I went hunting with cap guns, I didn't hit anything :(

Odds of him getting confirmed in the senate are basically zero but it would still be fun to watch him try

And I'm still awaiting a logical rebuttal of the scenario I linked earlier.

Done doing what? Making snarky quips and reciting cliches? I don't think I've ever seen you try to make a genuine counterargument in the context of tariffs. If that's all you're gonna do, then ya, please stay "done".

Sure, that seems like an effective use of my time :cool:

An outright trade ban would be more effective, but I'll accept a tax

Still awaiting a logical rebuttal for this demonstration that proves that a tariff can have a positive effect on a local economy.

I think we should make the War on Drugs more efficient :cool::up:

Same guy I think

I'm awaiting demonstration

Wouldn't be the first thing 100% of economists were wrong about

"Palestinian" isn't even a real thing. It's a completely fabricated identity given to them by the British. They just use that identity as a cover for the broader Arab religious war to reclaim Jerusalem.

My guess is the actual killer was a hired gun and all the clues he intentionally left behind are red herrings to make it look personal :up:

Yea that's not the dude and they know that's not the dude, but they may take it to trial just to keep up appearances

The bill's got a cool acronym so that means it must be good :up:

@8:25 it "almost" makes you feel like you can't call law enforcement for help?

I'm glad noone got hurt, those dogs looked like they were thinking about ways to attack the brave Officer/Fireman duo :up: The other dog ran away when shots were fired because the dog knew he was guilty. Innocent dogs don't run :up:

FBI's like, sure... we'll investigate these ... mysterious.... drones

Chosen to be hated by every civilization they have ever migrated to? At some point they gotta ask themselves, maybe the problem is with them, not everyone else :cool:

I am God's chosen person. The rest of you are schmucks :cool:

They probably just don't want to admit they have no leads.

That's a pretty harsh thing to say about *****
