I was personally looking forward to my city turning in to a 3rd world sh!thole, with more people dying of drugs and murder.

I'm depressed.

That's true, I'll remain optimistic to step over more piles of sh!t and puddles of piss on the sidewalk. Maybe more people can move in to the abandoned buildings here and sell more fentanyl.

Keep hope alive.

Don’t worry bro, we got you

@Loony661 and I feel as if our gun disappearing business is no longer needed so we are starting a new business venture based on Adopt a Highway for people like you that are going to be mourning the loss of the urban landscape you have come to know and love

For only $9.99 a month you get to adopt a one block section of scenic downtown San Francisco

Each block is guaranteed to have a minimum of 6 piles of human excrement,10 puddles of human urine, 15 used and highly infectious hypodermic needles, and at least 2 crack hoes

Some lucky people will even get a block with frequent visits from a pimp and occasional gang related shootings

So if you are really longing for that full on, nothings illegal, live and let live experience you have come to love, sign up soon because when everywhere else starts getting cleaned up, these opportunities are going to dry up fast

VISA, MASTERCARD, and DISCOVER accepted

Here is the thing on tariffs that is often misunderstood. The manufacturer / Chinese exporter doesn't change his price, they tariffs are levied at the point of import, so the person bringing the goods into the US pays the tariffs, they raise their prices to cover that cost and the American public pay the higher prices for the goods and the US Gov gets a bunch of money to pay the grift to Elon and the others.

The statement that China paid $4 billion dollars in tariffs if a lie, the American public paid the tariffs. Am I against tariffs? I am pro free trade but tariffs do serve a purpose. They greater question is what is that tariff money spent on, the original idea behind it was to use the money to compensate those industries that were harmed by the importation of goods from another country. Unfortunately, few is any countries have transparency as to where this money goes...
High tarriffs encourage companies to not have their products made in cheap labor countries. That is the purpose for the tariffs.

That's absolutely right Gary.
We think we are protecting the nation by placing extra tariffs on an import, we do so if there is a similar product in the country at the same or lower price.
If there is none, it is the common man in the street who pays the tariff when he needs the product.
You misunderstood the reasons for the tariffs.

Yeah...that's fairly elementary.

So, the production now moves to a higher cost labor country.

Prices will skyrocket.

Who will we blame?

Actually, if the cost is the same as making it here, then you make it here to save on shipping. Costs will go up. But so will quality. Do we not buy the best goods we can afford? Maybe we can wean the American people off cheap rubber dog poop from china.

How will quality go up? We can't find people who want to work in this country now. Good luck filling millions more jobs that require any level of skill beyond flipping a burger.

Maybe if their were some higher paying manufacturing jobs instead of burger flippin minimum wage jobs, people just might want to work again.
