- Comment on How can you oppose tariffs, while supporting a hardline against China on Taiwan? 2 weeks ago:
Even if tariffs worked the way Trump wanted and it magically brings all this manufacturing back to the USA, it will still cause extreme inflation in the USA. The reason foreign goods are so cheap? Dirt cheap labor. To manufacture these goods in the USA would mean orders of magnitude higher labor costs and ultimately orders of magnitude higher price of goods to the consumer. Inflation.
- Comment on How can you oppose tariffs, while supporting a hardline against China on Taiwan? 2 weeks ago:
If you don’t support tariffs to bring back manufacturing jobs domestically
Do they even accomplish this?
“Chinese exports have a large impact on our economy, therefore you have to either support tariffs or let them do anything they want” 🤡 take

Older subarus are a high value and age well. I would expect it to hold decent value but that is crazy to be worth more 5 years later

I mean yeah, that’s why I said beater. I just wouldn’t expect someone young or looking for a first car to be buying a current model year with low miles anyway.
- Comment on Based on a true story 2 weeks ago:
Is cash for a beater car no longer an option? I don’t want to be a “less avocado toast more bootstraps” person but a loan for a used car sounds wild to me. Maybe I’m out of touch. My vehicle is old enough to drink

Nah you’re 100% in the wrong here, and it’s wild that you bring up respect, as if this attitude and behavior isn’t incredibly disrespectful. Calling someone is literally not disrespectful. What the fuck is wrong with people

But saying that a country can’t do anything about espionage unless they pass that law is unrealistic.
Who said that?

No I’m not conflating anything, you’re just moving the goalpost…
People can still do murder even though its illegal and most murders go unsolved, so we shouldn’t have laws making murder illegal

I would expect a meaningful data privacy law would involve forcing the client software to be audited to ensure they aren’t collecting the information in the first place?

They are while doing business in the USA
- Comment on I'm OOTL: Why is TikTok being banned? 2 months ago:
They all suck, yeah. I think banning individual social media services is not the solution. The solution is to create meaningful laws that hold any company, Chinese or American, accountable for data privacy and misinformation/influence violations.

- Comment on 2025 trailer be wild 3 months ago:
I think he is wrong because being informed and aware of what has happened in the world does not equate to “mentally masturbating to disaster porn”. We do have a real problem with sensationalized media, but the solution is not to just be uninformed…
I sometimes hear similar logic as an argument against things like funding science research: “Why spend money and time on a deep space observatory? We can never get to those places in space anyway”
