Imagine having a revolution over degenerate need to consoom.

We deserve extinction.

Tbf they thought tea was magic* and prevented the multitude of waterborne diseases that killed everyone because they didn't know germs were a thing and it was actually just heating the water that made it safe, so a tax on tea was a tax on health, wellbeing, and life itself if you were particularly susceptible to those diseases

*Not literally magic, but that it had some particular property that rendered water potable

Tea was also just culture. You were taxing their way of life in a way bongs in Britain weren't getting taxed. It wasn't fucking fair in the slightest.

They also hit on the astringent properties of hops.

IPA’s were an 18th century effort to make an ale that could survive the age of sail voyage to India, pre Suez Canal, without refrigeration

If you say you like the taste, you’re a retard

"If Russia and Ukraine don't come to a ceasefire deal we're going to nuclear bomb BOTH of them off the face of the earth."

MAGA

"Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves."

Imagine your husband is an abusive gang banger who beat the shit out of you so badly that you got an order of protection against him and the government not only removes him from your life for you, they remove him from your entire country. The world knows you got the order of protection and you know the world knows it. And yet you publically beg for him to be released and returned to you. When questioned by the press about your order of protection, you refuse to answer it. Women absolutely confound me.

Somewhere, a woman in an abusive relationship who's waiting for her moment to escape probably wants to strangle this skank.

Howard Zinn was a Marxist who regularly left out important things so that he could frame every major event in American history as rich people tricking or oppressing poor people or jerks being racist to blacks and Indians for no reason. His book is trash and should not ever be cited by anyone.

unironically my AP US History class had shit from him. I knew it was horsecock from the moment I read about a excerpt from him about the Indians

Income tax being the fucking worst tax is easy. Lets say you get a job that makes 15$ an hour and thats just enough for you to get by.

I don't know the exact percentages but social security alone is taking a good 100$ out of your weekly paycheck. Add other state and federal income taxes, ill add that up to another 100, though that could vary based on state.

Your 1200$ paycheck is now 1000$. Your monthly income instead of $2400 is $2000. For a lot of low end workers thats the difference between making rent or keeping the utilities going. (Rent where I live on average is 700-1000$, so half your income is just being ate by rent).

This becomes less of a problem the more you make, obviously. But losing 400$ a month to pay for gibs and a ponzi scheme when you make shit for money is way worse than paying an extra couple cents on goods.

you know.. solid point. I've seen some good prices on midrange PC's near me on Marketplace.

There is nothing confusing here.

The way she is acting gives her resources and attention. Thats all that matters for most people. And liberal culture posts that thinking that way as a good for women.

It takes a weird kind of autism to think that people adhering to some kind of principle instead of what benefits them is unusual.

This also includes a logistics and freight handling company. The representative explained the tariffs very well.

The kid is a little green behind the ears but he's done a good job explaining. What's currently happening in the market is you have a lot of order cancellations in the short term. Big companies are relying on their overstock to maintain their supply for the time being while they see what Trump ultimately does. It's hard to make active changes for these things when the news happens every single week. So the idea that Chinese manufacturers are going to build the tariffs into their cost and force it on US Consumers is, always retarded. I want to really restate this for emphasis:

If you thought most of these tariffs would be forced onto US consumers, you are fucking retarded. It was just another MSM lie.

The reality is there is a competitive market for most of these goods and if they can move them somewhere else, they will. If China tries to chase tariffs, they'll price themselves out of the market. The order pauses are putting the country on suicide watch. Xi has been freaking the fuck out and threatening other countries. The raw materials aren't tariffed at all. The Chinese exports we want are being promoted while the manufacturing we don't want them doing are being demoted. The negotiations have been effective. The countries who give a shit have lowered their tariffs. We've witnessed a virtual death of VAT. The short term and long term outlooks have been nothing but good for America. Trump hasn't just done a good job, he's the best President we've had in terms of foreign policy in the past 50 years.

Quality women don't date gangbangers in the first place.

Even if you aren’t religious, think about marrying a girl who is. All the problems of beckydom are just sort of not there

Openly calling them "faggots" usually helps. They're so shocked someone would dare say a "no-no" word to their (virtual) face they're at least momentarily shaken.

Income under a certain amount is exempt from Federal income taxes. If you're married, you don't pay taxes on the first $29,200 (singles get a whopping $14,600 of exemption) you earn. It's a pittance, but it's something.
