Not just people, the economy will end up paying the price.

Tariffs have horrible second order effects.

Every companies outputs is some other companies inputs.

American companies end up locked out of more affordable vehicles as inputs. That cost then gets baked into its output, which is some other company’s input. Then just keep following that chain.

The best broad blanket tariffs can hope to do is trade long term competitiveness for some short term price increase.

Americans will wonder why other nations eat our lunch in the coming decades. Well that foreign company could buy the cheaper machine to produce the widget, their raw materials cost less to deliver because the transit company that ships it in charges a better rate because they have lower vehicle overhead. Since they have 2 dozen suppliers for their components both foreign and domestic they are forced to compete on quality and price.

American companies will become even more bloated and inefficient

You want to tell me that’s photoshop. No, it says clear as day in big letter MS-13

Everyone in America has to give out their social security numbers to every fucking company and government department because it’s the closest thing we have to a national ID.

Why can’t we have a real, secure, National ID system? Because it’s the mark of the beast!!

But now that RFK Jr wants to hunt people for sport I’m sure they will fall in line.

Americans hate the idea of paying money for someone else. Especially if that person is an “other.”

This means we can’t have anything nice because it might benefit someone that someone else hates.

There is a cruel and crude portion of this population that hates anything that might help the public at large. Public transportation, state run healthcare, the post office.

For many wealthy Americans spending $100 for every $1 of avoided taxes is worth it.

Now this would all be irrational and stupid if that $1 in taxes provided an equivalent service. So they have to break those systems or just plain make shit up.

I was educated in public schools in America, it was fine. I went to state university and obtained two degrees. Contrary to popular belief they taught us plenty. I had many bright and dedicated educators explain the world around me and make me fall in love with scholastic pursuits. Caring and driven public servants paid a pittance but still excited to share their time and talents with kids figuring out the world.

Whether it was an English teacher who decided he cared enough to run the academic decathlon team, or my calculus teacher senior year who made me fall in love with the beauty of mathematics.

The person I am is indelibly linked to the public school system. As a poor kid growing up in a poor neighborhood, education was a way up. And the wealthy in this nation can’t stand that. Success is for their kids going to expensive private school.

Hold on let me remove most of my brain.

This is so much more efficient than the shuttle program. You see when we made the space shuttle it cost the American taxpayer billions and in the end we owned and could operate the shuttle for the common good.

This way spacex spends billions of dollars (that the government gives them) and in the end they own and operate the spaceship for profit and can charge the American taxpayer anything they want to access space.

Musk is Tony stark!

Sorry I couldn’t get stupid enough to make this authentic.
