No shit but there's a difference between lazy people existing and laziness being an epidemic among a specific generation with a political culture that is insistent on promoting it.
I'm just pointing out that China's population is 4x larger than the US and China has undeniably experienced an economic miracle in the past 25 years (paid for by you and I). China's new middle class with disposable income is larger than the entire US population and every Fortune 500 company is falling over one other trying to gain access to it. China's middle class has exploded while the US' middle class has collapsed in the same time. Nothing I just typed should be controversial as those are objective statements of fact.
so you don't buy from them, and find another company who will provide you parts at a lower cost, since that's how competitive local businesses work. this would allow other businesses with a willingness to charge lower rates, either through labor or parts, to undercut the business charging higher rates. this is not going to go well for you.
they can buy those parts still, at a slightly higher cost, but yes, it also does not have anything to do with 'the poorest americans', who do not own farms or small businesses. price increases on brand new objects just mean you need to invest money into a longer-lasting, better product instead of the cheap bullshit that breaks instantly. use your head, dawg. buying multiple shitty items is much worse than buying one slightly more expensive, high quality one, and this mindset helps keep people poor all the time, and you only feed into it with this.
you are a retard, a cheap shit chromebook which can be used for business bookkeeping is a hundred dollars, and it will MAYBE go up a couple bucks. if you're buying a 4090 because you want to run your business, you need to let someone else run your business.
most farms already have the machinery they need, and are as has been pointed out in the thread already, which you clearly did not read, subsidies from the government to help ensure that local production continues even if the market becomes saturated or underpriced. your arguments were all made from a place of "i know i'm right, so i won't even bother looking," and it really shows.
what food subsidies did doge touch? i'll wait for you to elucidate that.
I found a very well cited paper on CATO about this. You are right, high speed rail is a money sink.
Leftists, among others, see humor as a club. They try to beat it over people’s heads to get them in line. You know how people say bullying works, shaming works? Just like how those things don’t work when you hate the people doing it, or when you have no self-reflection or shame, they don’t work when you can laugh at yourself. Humor can be endearing. It’s “at least people like jokes.”
an economic miracle which is currently in a recession, and which they have managed to keep up on its face thanks to hidden loans, as i just posted up above. they are several trillion yuan in debt because of this rail line, and it is not paying for itself at all, and that is going to eventually be felt by the Chinese, maybe not in a depression but certainly more recession as it continues to feel the burden of those hidden debts piling up. they want to increase the coverage of their high speed rail to 70,000km by 2035, which means they're going to continue digging this massive black hole firepit for money until they literally cannot do it anymore.
and nothing has been done about it since 2008. well now we're doing something.
Whose fault was 2008?
Maybe they'll start making actual cars again and not just blobby SUVs.GM already looking to make up for their past gayness (will still be gay):
It's really cute to see a little boy push mowing the White House lawn. But my dad would've killed me if I missed strips of grass like that
No one uses high rail in China. It's a dog shit project for dog shit purposes.
Don't want to derail, but one thing you have to teach your kids is not to do back and forth like that but to make concentric squares from outside in.
What happened in Taiwan was a miracle. What happened in China is paper held together by duct tape and atheist prayers. Buildings are falling apart, infrastructure is deteriorating, factories are shutting down, houses remain empty and people can't even sell them, and everyone with even a little bit of cash is trying to figure out how to get out. There is an entire industry centered around converting yuan to dollars because the Chinese put an arbitrary limit on how much money you can exchange out of the country.
Can’t be any worse than January 20th 2021 to January 20th 2025.
Its gotta be a wild for Union Democrat to switch to a Republican for the first time and then see him actually fallow through on his campaign promises. (Same thing with the Libertarian with JFK Jr.). Complete and total whiplash.
I can literally point to several products the EU tariffs against the U.S for far more than 39%. Just because it's not a blanket tariff doesn't mean they don't do it on certain shit you faggot.
This is already happening at a small scale thanks to social media. Everyone I know uses Facebook Marketplace and Nextdoor to find furniture and housewares, and that also usually involves cash money being handed over to someone who lives in your town which is great.
