The Leopards Eating Faces and Unlubed Dildo of Consequences Thread


Recommended Posts

I read the article and kept thinking, the same as y'all, What did you expect, Dickhead.

I further noted that all of his tax dollars from last year coming through that gate wouldn't cover the costs of restoring Rancho Redneck. That's without even deducting money that went for schools, roads, cops, and the Defense Department.

He likely knows that he would be calling upon the tax dollars of sympathetic, forward thinking "fellow" citizens whose taxes contribute to an insurance pool for the common good.

Mr. Cowboy Hat Fuckwad can't even bring himself to acknowledge the help would come from somewhere other than his bootstrapping, frontiersman self.

Enjoy the rotting tree trunks and flotsam. Yeeeeee-haw!

Rec Center? Sounds like a socialist education center. We'll be pulling the funding for that anyway, so no big loss. 

sounds like one of those places in New York where the negroes play basketball at midnight.  We don't need any of that around here.

"But Mussolini, who was never a stickler for the truth, was quick to exploit any circumstance to his own benefit, and portrayed the popular perception of punctuality as a “battle” he had won. Other battles that produced dubious results included the Battle for Births to increase population, which actually went down in number; the Battle for Grain to strengthen the economy, but caused hunger among the poor; and the Battle for the Lira (the basic unit of Italian currency), which increased unemployment.

Because these claims and lies (the “big lies”) were issued publicly and repeated often, the common people  that Mussolini actually deplored eventually accepted it as fact."

County went 70.9% for Trump. I assume “lack of demand” for the rail industry is directly related to tariffs. This is a drop in the bucket but the trickle down from the tariffs is going to be awful.

In fact, since Jan. 1, over 30,000 freight-related layoffs have been announced, according to Worker Adjustment and Retraining Act notices. The most common reason cited for the layoffs was a simple lack of demand, although most companies did not provide a reason, according to reports from FreightWaves.


Hmmm. Weird.

So the interviewer is the Black Rifle Coffee guy?  I am aware, peripherally, of the Montana Knife guy.  That is a surprisingly nuanced discussion from them.

And this underscores something.  In addition to a goodly number of manufacturing-type jobs we really don't want back because they're menial and hazardous, there are certain industries/manufacturers where it just doesn't make any sense to try to compete domestically with them.  Germans and Swiss, for example, have always been good at precision specialty machine tools.  Like the blade-grinding machine where they make a dozen a year in Germany.  Neither the world nor the US needs another blade grinding machine manufacturer. 

Those things are kind of like coffee and bananas: it don't make no sense to have a domestic industry.  I'm relatively certain there are dozens upon dozens of examples of this that are being tariffed for no good reason at all.

ETA:  that derek guy makes these points, especially the garment industry.  I had to find a thread reader to read the thread.

Addendum to the above.  That guy, Stumpf, is not the Black Rifle Coffee guy.  He is somehow associated with it and is a former enlisted SEAL.

Given the tendencies of SF operators to be pretty complete meatheads (I'll kind of give the officers a pass here, Admiral McRaven), that guy is fairly impressive.

Despite voting for Trump, the guy acquits himself reasonably on the podcast.

The above, though, shows why he voted for Trump and is a galactic dumbass.

Also, funny thing, a lot of heavy industries have survived in socialistic countries like Sweden, while ours have gone to the dogs.  Things that make you go hmmm.

In my experience small business owners and entrepreneurs are a lot like lawyers- smart and usually well meaning people who are extremely adept in a focused way, but sort of blinkered by their own business conditions and easily surprised by realities outside.

It's wildcat I think that points out, rightly, that a lot of these people, the petit bourgeouisie, are the main Trump supporters.  

But, given how predictable the harm to businesses that rely on imported products (/Gary Oldman EVERYONE gif), it's astonishing that they're caught short by any of this.

And, it bothers me quite a lot because these are most of my clients (I am unsure how many were Trump voters, but all of them are like the MKC guy as far as having their oxen gored).

Seriously, how fucking stupid do you have to be to be a small business owner who sources raw materials and equipment from outside the US and not realize the tariff king is going to impose tariffs that affect you? Do these dumbfucks use an intermediary importer/exporter that is US based and think all the stuff comes from them? Have these dipshits thought to ask the intermediary where they source their stuff?

Free market + the tariff king says these dipshits’ businesses die. Good riddance.

Trump says the other countries are going to pay the tariff.  Smooth brain MAGAT out front should’ve told you.

It would actually be pretty awesome if he did make the other countries pay the tariffs, besides the fact that it's not possible it would still be great.

Once the new BLS statistician takes over and un-rigs the false Biden new job stats for May, June, and July, demand is going to soar!

You may be joking, but you shouldn’t be.  I would almost guarantee this is exactly what is going to happen.

As these small business owners are discovering, it’s almost like you want economic professionals negotiating trade deals to create the fewest negatives impacts while improving the wider economic situation for Americans and Americans importers. Instead we get the opposite with 2am tweets in deciding the tariff percentages.

and how would you feel if you bite the bullet and pay that 50% tariff on that $500k grinding machine for that Montana knife company, and then Trump decides to eliminate the tariff AFTER you pay. TACO teaches us to halt purchases but that’s a problem for the Montana guy who expanded his facility and presumably wants to crank up his output.

I'm sorry, in MAGAnistan, the only people that get to have their cake and eat it too are those who have invested the minimum amount in Trump's crypto. I'm sure the Black Rifle guy has given his fair share to the kleptocracy, but it's just not quite enough.
