Yeah, they were a lot smoother... like slick turds. Trump is an egomaniac and a mysoginistic jerk... and, it would seem, far more genuine than either of those creeps. I don't know which was the bigger farce; Bush pretending to be conservative or Obama pretending to be liberal.
You don't get it. Of course shit's going to get more expensive! This isn't to help the fucking economy; it's to help the nation. It's an austerity measure that pays dividends in the long term. In the short term, like saving more of your paycheck every week (snicker), it hurts a little.No fucking shit, Sherlock!
That's the thing that the mindless twits on "the left" and "the right" fail to grasp: libertarianism is logical (rather than idealogical). Libertarians realize that increasing the quality of life for the developing world at the expense of the modern world is merely a race to the bottom - and therefore no solution at all. Anyhow, where the fuck does it say that Libertarians can't possess a financially-nationalistic perspective? There's nothing inherently ""unlibertarian" about tarriffs; they're how you address trade imbalances.
You are an ignorant fool. Most of your so-called "1%" includes doctors, lawyers, business owners, inventors; in other words, folks who've made it. Through a combination of good fortune, timing and perseverance, these are people for whom the "American Dream" worked.Obviously, the ignorant, resentful masses are turning their greedy, resentful eye towards them.
But what you and others fail to realize (I have a theory that the 'zombie apocalypse' is a thing) is that not only are they not your enemy, they're not even rich. Most of these "One Percenters" are (repeat after me) the "Upper Middle Class." Yes, they can afford a Tesla - perhaps a couple - and they probably have a vacation home somewhere nice... perhaps even a couple. They can afford to send their kids to expensive schools, without having to take out loans. But are they truly rich? Most of them, no. Not even close (while "a million dollars" might sounds like an unobtainably astronomical sum to a lot of you, what you fail to realize is that, with inflation it's less than it's ever been.)
Your problem... are the elite. And they likely number less than 0.001% of the worldwide population.
Actually, the U.S. is only competitive with good shit these days; other nations are able to manufacture cheap shit far more competitively. So, no; not actually.
I'm an MCSE who detests Windows and uses Linux exclusively... and even I think your post is do you think MS should be releasing extensions to graphics API's for competing platforms??
No one was 'into Linux in the early 90's who wasn't passionate about it. You were quite clear about not being passionate about it; logical conclusion: your post smells like shit because you just pushed it out of your ass with a loud, wet "plop."
Slashdot Mirror
Next question?
China owns a lot of the USA; they have serious power now.
China's invested a lot in the USA; they have serious exposure now.
FTFY.
How can you argue against mirroring the exact tariffs imposed on US goods overseas?
Foolishly.
Oh, you mean Trump? I thought this was about trade...
Ford Probe was a Mazda MX6...
Now you're getting the idea!

What is it that we make that a) the chinese want to buy, and b) can even afford?
Exactly. So observant of you; obviously, this is why we having nothing to lose.
Genius.
Cheap Chinese goods have been the only thing keeping the American worker from noticing the last 40 years of wage stagnation
Sarcasm?!
I wonder how this topic would survive if /.
was to block all IP's ending in ".cn"
A strong China is good for the world over, let alone the "Western world". They are now our 3rd largest customer.
Why do you refer to yourself in the third person?

Goddamn; well said.
It's not that the 1% want to be richer.
It's that they want to wipe out the middle class.

So get a clue.
Sometimes people do things for which technology... has no way to compensate
Especially when that technology isn't fucking ready, yet.
Hmmm. Could it be that high taxes correlate to good quality of life?
Not in California, they certainly don't. In California, an unrealistically high salary correlates with good quality of life, despite the taxes.
I see what you did, there...
Are you fucking kidding?? You're in the wrong place.
Well automation is usually better than this.
Alrighty, then...
I'm on your "side" here but this is geopolitics; don't try to project ethics onto it.
Actually, the U.S. is only competitive with good shit these days; other nations are able to manufacture cheap shit far more competitively. So, no; not actually.
Wow; well stated!
