Who Ultimately Pays the Cost of Protective Tariffs? ~ Mises.org

You forgot to emphasize that.

DOJ OIG Releases Report on the FBI’s Handling of Its Confidential Human Sources and Intelligence Collection Efforts in the Lead Up to the January 6, 2021 Electoral Certification U.S. Department of Justice Office of the Inspector General December 12, 2024 Department of Justice (DOJ) Inspector General Michael E. Horowitz announced today the release of a review examining the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s (FBI) handling of its confidential human sources (CHS) and intelligence collection efforts in the lead up to the events at the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021. Consistent with OIG practice, in spring 2022 the OIG paused aspects of our review to ensure that the OIG’s investigative work did not conflict with or compromise any ongoing DOJ criminal investigations or prosecutions. Having been informed by federal prosecutors last year that our review would no longer potentially interfere with pending criminal prosecutions, we resumed our work on this matter. In doing so, we were cognizant of the amount of time that had passed, as well as the number of non-DOJ OIG oversight reports that had been publicly released regarding the events of January 6. We determined that an area that had not yet been thoroughly reviewed by other entities was the FBI’s direction and handling of its CHSs in the lead-up to and on January 6, and whether the FBI exploited its CHSs and other available information to determine the nature of threats in advance of the electoral vote certification on January 6. Accordingly, we focused our review on that topic.

Good article :up: So, you oppose states rights, and/or support digital ID surveillance laws?

I’m pretty sure it’s on his agenda. Right after curing cancer, the common cold and athlete’s foot. Priorities, you understand.

More winning?

Jacob Helberg is senior adviser to Palantir Technologies Chief Executive Officer Alex Karp. Alexander Caedmon Karp (born October 2, 1967) is an American billionaire businessman, and the co-founder and CEO of the software firm Palantir Technologies. In 2004, along with Peter Thiel (who had been a classmate at Stanford) and others, he co-founded Palantir Technologies as CEO.

Karp has described himself as a socialist and a progressive, and said he voted for Hillary Clinton.

Control.

That's just it. I didn't think that you noticed, or would even admit to that. As a condition for aid... If you want further funding for education... We're going to pull out unless you start paying your fair share for NATO...

Breitbart? Don't they subscribe to the Keynesian economic model and not the Austrian? I wanted to cross-reference but the links within the Breitbart article cross-reference to Breitbart. At least Mises.org provides charts and tables, and notes that once Javier leaves office the country will be beholden to the IMF. A Rothbardian Dissection of Javier Milei I know that some couldn't care less and it gets ignored, but I don't consider any positives a good trade for dystopian authoritarianism: Javier Milei’s Government Will Monitor Social Media With AI To ‘Predict Future Crimes’

If there are “dystopian authoritarian strings attached” it ain’t freedom. But nobody gives a crap about freedom anyway, so…

Oh fuck right the fuck off, k? I posted a ton of real life actual data proving beyond any reasonable doubt the economic harm caused by tariffs and you and Swordy just dismissed it. Then you turned around and made up a hypothetical, proceeded to “analyze” it in a near complete vacuum, ignoring any other possible factors and their effects, and declared that you “proved” that free trade was harmful. Oh, you also posted a bunch of shit you glommed from some AI tool and pretended that that settled it. You yourself admitted that you’re “lazy as fuck” (your words, not mine) so that kind of superficial “research” and “analysis” isn’t surprising, but you really can’t expect anyone who actually bothered to learn at least something about the topic to take it seriously. So yeah, fuck right the fuck off Tex. Or don’t. Frankly I don’t give a shit one way or the other.

What I notice is you posting a bunch of disjointed data, that shows circumstances but doesn't "prove" a damn thing, then apply the usual post hoc ergo propter hoc reasoning and declare "See! Free trade is responsible for all the economic evils in the world! My faulty reasoning proves it!" Give it a freakin' rest. And now I really am done. What utter nonsense.

If by "folks" you mean the so-called "liberty movement" then my advice to you is to stock up your bunker and make sure you have a safe route to it 'cause "folks" ain't gonna do shit.

He was probably persuaded by the following back in the day: https://jpfo.org/smith/smith-why-have-to-be-guns.htm?awt_a=A4_P A classic that deserves to be revisited from time to time.

Whether Mike Lee is an agent of Silicon Valley/WEF/U.N. Agenda 2030 this is the among the top leading agenda which will be Globally implemented if folks don't put a dead stop to it.

lol what did I just tell you about actually reading articles? It's Masters, not McMasters.

No, actually, they don’t. If you’re sincere, you are sadly egregiously mistaken in your economic beliefs. If not, well, we’ll just give you the benefit of the doubt and assume you are. In any event, except for a few fringe dwellers, this is one point upon which the overwhelming majority of economists agree, regardless of what school they’re from. But frankly, it just isn’t worth the time or effort to attempt to counter your relentlessly obdurate economic ignorance. So go ahead and rant. Anyone who isn’t too friggin lazy to actually learn a little about the topic will see it for what it is. Anyone else doesn’t matter. I’m done.

Yawn. Several hundred years worth of empirical economic data says otherwise. But the corporate welfare queens created and suckled by protectionist trade policies are grateful for your propagandistic services. Keep up the good work. Maybe Ian Fletcher will hire you one day.

What? You're the one who responded to me. Seemed like you were eager to tell me all about your ideas to ban and tax our way into liberty and prosperity. Now you've changed your mind? I'm crushed.

You're making my point for me. Thanks.

Really? Tell me more.

Let’s tax our way to prosperity! That should work, right?

You’re right and I’ll do that the next time, though, threads like this like to be pushed to the bottom anyway for some strange reason.
