There was a way for you to make this point without defending Kim Jong-un as a bullied victim lol.

How many Blyats does the average Russian medical chart contain?

Crucially they will want to make it as easy as possible to deport even H1B holders , so that their employers can wield even more power over them. That will make them even more desirable as workers over Americans.

That makes sense. If you're actually running high speed rail that's actually high speed, grade separation is not really optional. A few wood barriers (that cars can drive around if the drivers are dumb enough) don't cut it when a train is going 350-400km/h.

Their super high revenue/profit per employee has been reported on periodically for years. I remember hearing this fact literally ten years ago.

For high speed rail, most countries with any real HSR infrastructure will have grade separation unless absolutely impossible for some reason. France, Japan, Spain.

An argument that would have made some sense before a shitload of rich people including many politicians got their PPP loans forgiven.

Just one more thing that American voters simply do not care about.

The information environment that has been cultivated in the US was always leading here. The effect the internet had on news media didn't help. For every politically engaged person on whatever side there are 20 low information voters voting based on general vibes and gut instinct and little else. And their instincts suck.

Just as an aside, if one guy can be CEO of 3 different companies and be whatever he is to Trump, none of those jobs are that hard.

Another 4 years of this bullshit. All because it makes the stupid half of America feel tough. The smart thing to do (not just for Panama but everyone foreign country that Trump targets) is to just ignore it and wait for Trump to get distracted by other things, which shouldn't take long.

Look at Canada and Mexico. Combined they spends a little over $30 billion a year on their military. Both have universal health care. Here in the US we spend well over two trillion a year on war, and if you have an injury or illness, you will go bankrupt.

None of this has anything to do with anything.

You could eliminate all foreign aid, all military aid, all foreign spending whatsoever and you still wouldn't have health care. While many Americans support it (some polls suggest a majority), they don't care enough about it to actually use the electoral system to get it. Meanwhile parasites in the health care system (insurance companies chief among them) make huge profits and will gladly use a bunch of that on campaigns to maintain the status quo. Americans already spend more per capita on health care than anyone else. They just get pitiful value for that money, and lack the will to change things.

None of this matters. Bannon is still useful to the media when they want a headline but he doesn't have enough influence with Trump to actually action anything like this anyways. Trump's cabinet is nothing but billionaires lol.

Any tariffs contribute to inflation, but tariffs on China will do this to the greatest visible degree possible. It's why he backed down on that.

It'll go through in areas where Tesla doesn't or can't make a product for it. There isn't even going to be the pretense of fairness here. It's why CEOs are lining up to grovel at Trump's feet

Any business that gains a reputation for quality will immediately come under attack (yes it's an attack) from vultures private equity seeking to buy it up for the rep, cut as many costs as possible until the product is ruined, coast on reputation alone for as long as possible, and then when the reputation is ruined sell it for parts. Very few brands manage to actually resist this in the long term.

My dad had a 286 with a 40MB hard drive in it. When it spun up it sounded like a plane taking off. A few years later he had a 486 and got a 2gb Seagate hard drive. It was an unimaginable amount of space at the time.

The computer industry in the 90s (and presumably the 80s, I just don't remember it) we're wild. Hardware would be completely obsolete every other year.
