Stealing from thieves isn’t a crime.

Especially not when China turns around and Robin Hoods it back to the world.

Just saying.

That’s just how tariffs work. They’re not a weapon against enemy nations. They’re a tax on Americans.

And nobody is going to bring production back to this fascist slave pen of a country.

Bird flu will definitely do that.

Then Columbia put 50% tariffs on the US.

Love it.

Good. Love to see it.

Starve the beast. Don’t pay your taxes either. Go to HR and change your tax withholding to tax exempt.

You’ll catch fines eventually. But in the meantime your check will be a little bigger and you’ll be denying tax funds to a fascist government.

If we ever get a sane government I’ll pay those fines happily.

THE DARKNESS 3

Blueballed for 15 years.

That’s the primary reason yes.

We don’t tax corps. We used to. Taxed them 70-95% I can’t remember the actual number.

But that’s what built the industrial powerhouse that won the cold war. Those high taxes could only be written off by reinvesting into the business. Hiring more people. Raising wages. Buying new equipment. Those high tax rates are what made it all work.

Without those you get Gilded ages like what both proceeded and have followed them. Because capitalism eats itself without a strong government hand at the tiller. Protecting it from itself.

Well congrats to them I guess. The industry coordinated to recreate cable and its reviving the piracy that affordable streaming cut way down on back in the day.

“Violence is never the answer” only because it’s historically the only thing that actually works.

It’s propaganda meant to defang the population because it is an actual threat to those in power.
