Tariffs are to bring manufacturing back to the US. Look at how many companies are dropping Billions to open factories. That provides employment for building those factories and employment for locals who live in area.

I started buying more of what I want as I get older. I also have experienced death of an immediate family member. So this puts things in perspective for me. I ask the question how much time do I have left? Is this the right time for me to buy something I just want versus need?

More of my perspective reasoning. I have a chronic illness and it will progress and has already. So I don’t know what a month or year will be for me. I need to accomplish what I can while I can.

Ultimately not all wants will be acquired. Some are fleeting thoughts of maybe another life. I have a rule about electronics. Do not buy electronics or vehicles that are just released. The chances are they will have problems. Let others testing them first so corrections can happen. Then buy the items when on sale and hopefully bugs are worked out. Video games can apply to this logic as well.

Interesting. Of course Russia and China do this all the time.

Isn’t that just Utube in general? Lol also Riddiculousness MTV show.

It would better to say “Sir you’re missing an arm. Can I give you a hand?” Then starts clapping in next panel. Lol

Not sure if being autistic matters in this instance. My wife will not eat grits due to texture but I do enjoy some buttery grits.

They were limited by the ignorance of their time. …….Or whatever Tony Starks dad said.

Thanks!

PFM? Pure Fucking Magic. Dammit guess I will never know.

Very nice let’s see Paul Allen’s rules in life.

Thank you!

Hate to break it to you like this but US has both Capitalism and Social programs. Social programs are social security, medicare and public schools.

Neither system is perfect. Pure capitalism can lead to inequality and under-provided public services, while pure socialism can stifle innovation and create inefficiency. The best-performing countries today typically combine elements of both.

So as anything in life too much of one thing can be bad. It would be nice for everyone to receive free healthcare and higher education in US. I often watch various global news networks. It is odd to see US, Canada, UK all struggling with same issues economically.

UK has 28 million people on assistance out of work. It also has 28 million people employed. So half the UK is paying to support the other half. That is wild to think about.

Canada has a housing crisis currently.

This lady was like, I finally get to ask the chicken why it crossed the road. Then this dude comes and takes it out!

AI is coming for everything and has already been here for a while now. We either adapt or get caught off guard with it. Not saying I have the answer but AI is inevitable.

Yeah, no profits means no business! Down with businesses! We don’t need them for paychecks or healthcare! 🤣

Edit: I feel like this comment went over some heads. Socialism is support by higher taxes on businesses. If business doesn’t make money they Will close the business and social programs will not be supported. So basically socialism cannot exist without the business.

Looks cool! Reminds me of bubbles rising but in blood versus water. Maybe I am just too high.

It was 1997 for me. 🤣. Then took a 26 year break and return in 2023. Man how it has changed. People complaining today is wild to me.
