  1. No it wouldn't have. The way it played out is how it needed to play out. The supreme court settled this and now it goes into the action stage. This is where trump defies the supreme court on a 9-0 or if we find out there's actually a guardrail left.
  2. It feels like trump is spiraling and going to burn out soon.
  3. I think this is only true if in the next election cycle there isn't constitutional amendments made to fix this and modernize the guardrails. If that happens I think we can restore everything pretty quickly. If not, then America is fucked. It will quickly become a slightly better weather Russia.
  4. BOBCATS RRRRREEEEER
  5. It isn't, China knows that and that's why they want to send their best and brightest to negotiate with a bunch of ass clowns.
  6. Uh, anyone with any charisma at all? Not John fucking Kerry? I can't tell if you are joking or being serious. Obama is the last good candidate, Biden pre brain melt was fine for the situation, but he failed the assignment massively.
  7. I think they should let the surviving twin get one stab to the chest of the murderer and whatever happens happens after. Seems like the most human solution here.
  8. Also, 2000, 2004
  9. You would be wrong.
  10. Well it seems China's play was to get to basically what amounts to a reciprocal level of tariff that is a soft embargo and then say fuck it we are done and don't care what happens from here, if the US is serious they will get to a deal, if they aren't this is already too stupid for us to keep paying attention to. They intentionally used the word stupid. They intentionally are going to ignore anything more from an irrational actor. This is de-escalation, but they are refusing Xi to Trump direct negotiations, probably because Xi isn't a fucking economist and they want appropriate level to level talks to get to a deal. This seems like strong positioning of willingness to work with the US, but specifically not with trump or the stupid games he is trying to play. It really puts the US in a dire situation, because it's obvious to anyone watching that his economic advisory team is not calling the shots, he is and he is just doing random crazy bullshit. It will in fact erode the confidence of the United States even further if it doesn't in earnest negotiate like a normal country with China who is openly stating that they are willing to come to the table. Its obvious they think this sucks and isn't worth continuing and they want it over, but they aren't gonna play the trump crazy game.
  11. War with China accomplishes nothing, war in modern times now only makes sense if you are trying to overthrow a government or take over their land.
  12. Your coupons are set the entire 30 years. You can sell it to someone before maturation as well.
  13. I'd have signed him to a 4 year deal to fuck off.
  14. I'd have done some kind of reverse NIL deal to bench Quinn Ewers.
  15. Lmao I don't even know what I'd do with all that money.
  16. WTF. Post more than the link.
  17. Please post pics/make a thread. Have a blast.
  18. I just got mine. Took less than 3 and I didn't even expedite using online with taking my own pic and everything.
  19. wait, what the fuck? I never paid attention, but I thought he owned it. He is just the Eric Nahlin of aggy?
  20. yeah, but it's suspended for 90 days.
  21. at $1 CPM that's 35k/mo which i'd imagine they do and they leave ads for subs which is hilarious. Plus they sell sponsored boards. I would assume they do close to 100k/mo in revenue, maybe more.
  22. yeah, that's why I said cultural nonsense. It's a waste of money, America is a very wasteful place almost by design. A lot of time hardship for most people is not even real, it's just that they are so privileged they don't know the difference anymore. I'm saying in MX there aren't really nursing homes, because culturally there the idea of a nursing home is super fucked up. I was simply highlighting the American Dream somehow requires you to never live in your childhood home as an adult or something, which is just really strange.
  23. We do import so much shit from China. It's not because it's cheaper there, it's because they have legitimately built their entire manufacturing capability off of EXTREMELY low wage and completely unregulated factories. We actually SHIP THE MATERIALS and SHIP THEM BACK and that's cheaper than just keeping it here, manufacturing it and distributing it here. I think a lot of people don't realize the damage that globalization has caused to the planet + to the facade of China doing anything other than being a horrific labor provider. China doesn't make margin on the finished good cost, they make money on the services they provide to put the good together. The reason a lot of things are just cheaper there is because they don't have the high cost of making sure factory workers don't die, they don't have to pay them shit, they can do whatever they want as long as they've aligned with the government etc. There isn't some magic technology that exists in china that makes them able to deliver labor or manufacturing cheaper. China exports some high value stuff and they've embargoed that (rare earth metals, etc) China isn't betting on Americans voting for trump again, they don't give a shit. This is like fumbling on the 1 yard line on 1st down, but not just any fumble, a fumble where the ball was snapped, the Quarterback ran backwards and is headed for the wrong endzone to fumble it on purpose and start doing a TD celebration while the offensive line and everyone else make sure the other team recovers the fumble in the endzone for a touchdown by screaming and yelling "it's over here it's over here" Europe, BRICS or Asia minus China. Europe has the best chance because they've already done the EU thing. None of that will happen though, what happens is we go back to a zero sum world where everyone's prosperity is determined solely by their own capability and resources, global trade as we know it will transform back to domestically centric trade. Listen to the PM of Singapore, that is what's going to happen, he's dead on what it means. holy fuck.
  24. Africa is wild how underutilized they are, same as South America.
  25. That's not at all what I was saying, I didn't say remove posts or restrict posts at all, also free speech very clearly does not apply to private companies and platforms. X and Facebook and Instagram and Tik Tok and Youtube are not in fact the public square, they are internet properties run by companies who have a responsibility to their users and their shareholders.
