If US companies are making cars and selling them at 20,000 each and another country starts importing their cars for sale at 8000 a piece, the government can put a tariff on that country’s cars to bring the price equal to or more than the 20,000 the US companies sell for so the US companies don’t go out of business by being undercut. The problem is that the other country can retaliate with equal or more tariffs if we import products there.

Tariffs are designed to be used prudently and only in extreme cases which would damage the countries business by radically different pricing of similar products.

The ham fisted broad tariffs that Trump is doing don’t fit any tariff model or make any sense.

Compulsive lying and Ketamine abuse are the only things Elon knows anything about.

“Reload” is what makes it real.

62% over 6 years, so like 10% a year which is still not bad, but not the same 62% lump sum like the headline suggests.

Last time i got it, i didn’t feel great for a couple days, did you notice anything? I will probably try to get before the weekend, just in case.

“Speaker of the House of Representatives Mike Johnson dismissed the plan as part of Democrats' "ongoing efforts to delegitimize the Supreme Court."

Pretty sure the current members of the supreme court are delegitimizing it all by themselves.

Claims republican values, doesn’t get married, starting to feel like these guys don’t believe in the values they claim are so important. Doing the math with their ages, OMG, Dirty Hairy really is Dirty.

I see where you are going with that, but i think they are jacking off to drones now. If they could only figure out a way to strap poor people to them it would be the ultimate fantasy.

“Republican Think Tank” is an oxymoron, but yeah, fuck the heritage bullshit.
