It’s not like Tariffs were expected in Trump’s playbook ahead of the elections, right?

Schulz says he voted for President Donald Trump and believes in the goals of his tariff plan, to bring manufacturing back to the U.S. and expand exporter access to foreign markets.

“In the long run I think it will be a good thing," He said.

I find myself hoping they have the day they voted for

Oh, yah, the 2T a year in domestic industrial spending that started after COVID has fell to 0 since Trump started changing trade policy every time he had his diaper changed. That should jumpstart domestic manufacturing.

That’s so awful for them. That they voted for exactly this, I mean—that was just an awful, short-sighted decision. Oh well.

The massive amount of cognitive dissonance is infuriating.

No, you’re frustrated that they don’t have cognitive dissonance when they should. They are not suffering mentally, at all.

This video is great! Off topic, but I find it funny that the presenter is so pale white because he seems like the kinda guy that would be outdoors a lot.

Getting an education on stuff I only knew a little about. Good one OP.

Fucking good. Alfalfa takes a ton of water, so it’s basically other countries taking water from drought-stricken regions of the US for pennies on the dollar. It sucks water out of California they don’t have to spare, it sucks water out of the Colorado river that violates the multi-state (and w/ Mexico) compact.
