Lots of morons believe that and argues assuming that this is right.

Tariffs only makes thing more expensive for everyone.

Let's say you import steel at X$/ton and it cost Y$ locally where X < Y. You add a tariff T to make the imported steel on par with local steel.

Local steel still is as expensive and any production that uses imported steel now cost more.

Nothing went down in price, only up.

Now, there is a discussion to be had about buying local, but the immediate effect is that things will cost more even if manufacturers switch to local steel because they pay more for the same quantity no matter what.

This is a simplified version of the situation, but it explains the issue.

It wouldn't be so bad if we didn't get fucked by proxy of America electing an old senile fascist.

I am Canadian and I will feel Trump's presidency for a while

He doesn't give a fuck about anything. It's so tiring that people assume that he is rational and he cares.

He has expressed himself in a way that was easy to misinterpret

Absolutely not. There wasn't a nuance hard to grasp in Andy Yen's message. It is a pretty straightforward message.

Look if you want to continue using the service, by all means do, but stop acting like other people telling Proton and Andy Yen to get fucked that they are exaggerating.

Corporations are fucking us over and being outright evil, and when one of their CEO comes out and spout absolute dogshit takes, people like you come out of the woodwork to tell people that it's fine and people are overreacting. You gain nothing from sucking up to millionaire CEOs that don't give two shit about you.

What's the saying, "When someone shows you who they are, trust them the first time"?

Andy Yen showed us who he was and lots of people told him to get fucked.

Yeah because cozying up buddy buddy with Trump is a castle in the air.

It's not like the guy was cooked on the spot and spouted an incohenrent sentence.

The guy took the time to tag Donald Trump to show him how he's not like the other girls , wrote out his message and thought that this was good enough to press send.

There is a lot of deliberate actions that leads to this and takebacksies are a lot more difficult to justify.

In that case, there is a little space for interpretation and Andy Yen is clearly in damage control.

It is not little joe from Arkansas owning a potato farm tweeting that shit, it's the CEO of a supposedly "neutral" company, that deals in privacy, tagging his buddy Trump. Shit like that can't get a pass.

Lucky for him, there are enlightened people like you that loves the smell of fresh polish directly from the boot.

Go back to your cave you fucking troll. You are the perfect example of why we should bring back public shaming.

Stop bootlicking

From Andy Yen directly:

"[...]10 years ago, Republicans were the party of big business and Dems stood for the little guys, but today, the tables have completely turned."

There is no place for interpretation here, the message is clear. If he wants to back pedal because he got slinged shit, so be it, but it doesn't detract from the fact that he said that the Republicans are now the party of the small guys.

Stop spreading misinformation

You fuck nilly willy and you get free breakfast for life.

If by reigning in big tech you mean a cartel style system where companies need to provide funds to Trump to continue existing, sure. But there is no chance that the Republicans will reign in big tech : they are big tech.

You are leaving out the part where Andy Yen said that the tables have turned and the Republicans are now the party of the small people.

Andy Yen's statement is downright pathetic and misleading. People are right to stir up shit because that's the only thing corpos understand.

This isn't a storm in a tea cup, this is the CEO of a company telling us who he really is and people choosing to tell him to get fucked.

Your post reeks of astroturfing.

I am not familiar with MacOS, but that seems like a nightmare. What is the purpose of these files?

That's exactly what empathy is. Not sure why you get your panties in a bunch.

You feel what the other person is feeling even if it's not happening to you.

I don't think they need that to make it even more disgusting.

Because it's mostly made in sweatshops and the last pieces are put together in the US so that they can put their made in USA tag.

It's disguised chinese crap.

I am making my best effort to buy locally even if that means I'm paying more (I can afford it), but can we please help local companies to have a better presence online, and most importantly, a fucking UX that isn't fresh dog shit.

The reality is that shopping in store fucking sucks because the availability and diversity of product is terrible, and I don't want to spend an hour and a half of public transit to go see if they might have maybe, possibly the thing I need in an acceptable quality.

People will shop online because it saves a lot of time and they don't have to shuffle between 2 or 3 store.

Help small businesses to make their online experience great so that people are eager to shop there.

Books are a creative endeavor. Putting the same screw 10000 isn't a creative endeavor.

It doesn't. And when the bootlickers come out of the woodwork to tell you that private entities are more efficient that the government, it's a fucking lie.

The only thing that private entities are goid at is maximizing profits by walking the line of pissing customers just enough.

Because people in power benefit from it. Simple as that.

What fucking risks you fucks? Hiring people with the wrong skin colors?

The news cycles since Trump won the election is fucking terrible. Every corporation is mask off and drop anything that might benefit the populace so that they go back to being cowboys and treat employees like shit.

I want to personally say fuck you to everyone that voted for Trump. I hope that you and all the members of your close circle that voted for Trump die a painful death, after being economically fucked out of any little wealth you have.

The world is better off without you cunts.

The guy evaded prison for all the crimes he did. He won't give a shit about that because it won't stick, and his base will cheer him up no matter what he does.
