Lmao

I work for a company that imports all sorts of components for pretty much all of our products and the flip flopping has basically completely grinded everything to a halt because no one can figure out what the hell is going on at any given time. It has been a complete shit show lol

I was just talking about this with a friend. I think bmw drivers driving like douches is maybe the most accurate stereotype I know. It is shocking how often I see a car driving like an asshole and it ends up being a bmw.

Most stereotypes are hilariously inaccurate but that one seems pretty legit lol

You're right to some extent but make no mistake about it, he would not be able to do just about any of this without the complicity of a whole bunch of people over there in DC (and other states to a lesser extent). This is a concerted team effort.

Sounds like these dummy CEOs don't realize that losing money costs you nothing maybe they need to go read Art of the Deal and find out how a real man runs (and subsequently destroys) businesses!

I mean he covers that in the article. He straight says the tariffs will bring in money and then the new manufacturing will bring in more on top of that:

Those tariffs next year will make us $1 trillion, in addition to the $1 trillion thousands of companies are going to relocate back into the United States,

I still genuinely am not sure if he legitimately understands tariffs. Like, surely he knows they are paid by the importer. He has to right? But time and time and time again he says that other countries will pay the money. I'm assuming he's just lying but I can't even tell anymore.

Regardless this $1 trillion he's claiming are absolutely just a tax on Americans.

To add into that, most homeless are just normal people that fell on hard times, you won't see them cause they don't want to be a bother. You see the crazies because... Well they're crazy. Gigantic assholes like musk assume that since you see crazy homeless people wandering outside, then obviously ALL homeless people are crazy violent lunatics. He is the smartest person in the world after all.

You shut your mouth. This is America! We like our guns loud, our cars broken down, our food fried, and our presidents oooooold. If you didn't grow up playing with one of these, you simply aren't fit to be president in this country!

I feel like at some point there will be so much banned that every government document is just going to be like caveman talk about how amazing petroleum and guns are

Gas good and drill good so money good too. All is good if gas is gas. Oil and gas and drilling is great. Guns for army man. Make America great again.

Unless I have the law wrong, he skirted the law. He didn't pay anyone to vote (although he originally said he was), he technically only paid them to sign a petition. The law afaik only says you can't pay people to vote (regardless of who, in Wisconsin you straight up cannot pay people to vote at all), you can pay them to sign a petition.

However I would argue that by first announcing that the money would go only to people who voted and then subtly changing it later is still totally a form of bribery. People absolutely voted for a chance at that money because of his original statement and didn't know it changed. But I'm going to go out on a limb here and say he'll be 100% fine because of technicalities (aka he's rich as shit and is completely untouchable)

My bet is the matrix. Everything bad is the matrix. What the hell is the matrix? Nobody knows, doesn't matter, but it's responsible for all bad things that happen to him.

I enjoy believing this person simply thought time was finite and just stopped at some random point until they saw an old person walking around and they were like "what if... what if forever exist???"

So what are we looking at for your wardrobe? Pictures only? Plain colors? Maybe like tie dye?

I do. I can't stand it because where I live it means I will no longer see the sun. Not to even mention how much it sucks ass from a mental standpoint to get out of work and have it be dark. I could not care less if I see a tiny bit of sunlight on my way to work lol. I've had multiple jobs where once ST hits, I'm going to work and coming home in darkness. I literally dont see the sun until the weekend. Imo give me whichever option that maximizes sunlight during most people's free time.

Me too. I think a lot of ppl do as it literally gives (most) people more daylight to actually do stuff since most people work until like 3-6pm. Another side effect during ST is it crowds things that require daylight on the weekends. The days (in the northern hemisphere) are already shorter, add ST on top of it and now all the things that require daylight that people want to do after work have to wait until the weekend because they just don't have enough time. Then the weekend comes and everyone is there because they all had to wait. Once DST comes there's always noticeably smaller crowds cause now at least some people are able to go during the week.

Oh shit this is a good idea. let me just tell my boss to change the hours of the business real quick so I can go hiking after work. Thanks!

He changed it. He said that at first and then changed it to only people that signed some petition against judges that told trump he couldn't do something. My guess is a lawyer looked at it and told him it was blatantly illegal.

I actually looked for this and the only thing I could find is some of them were saying that it would cause people to seek out less reputable and riskier banks because by not being able to charge people out the ass for overdraft fees the good banks would be forced to limit or eliminate overdraft protection.

Others just said the law shouldn't have been passed in the first place because it was passed using some rule that allowed it to pass with a simple majority and you couldn't filibuster.

I'll let you decide what to make of that but it seems... less than sound reasoning.

That reminds me of a tweet I just saw from the White House celebrating the fact that he's signed more executive orders than any president in history at this point by far. Which is... fine I guess but just seems like a really really strange thing to be super proud of to me.

Tweet in question

Next to the president, he literally may be the most untouchable person in the country and is very very high on that same list globally. Even if he somehow does get in trouble for literally anything, he would be pardoned faster than you can say covfefe
