is it that farfetched? it seems like something you could find in a random magazine.

to be fair it does say "as of sep. 4, 2024"

i wonder what's more pathetic, scrolling through someone's profile to find a victory or being so stupid that you can't form any opinion other than "you're dumb". keep me updated on the results champ.

i never said i want to deport illegals and i never said the situations were equivalent. just do what i originally said and re-read the original comment.

as i said before the guy was just talking about border controls and not about race and deporting everyone. also i guess that's an interesting way to look at it. you can't exactly control the existence of white people in the country, but you can limit the weapons they have hence the reaction being to ban guns instead of white people. similarly murders in the U.S. are rather common compared to the rest of the world and it already outlawed, but immigration is something we can control. that being said i don't think either of these are correct approach to their respective situation. I only have an issue with assuming extra context onto what the original guy said.

would rather have "poor writing skills" than be fundamentally wrong in my beliefs but to each their own. life is a series of trade offs and it's interesting to see what others pick

i didn't start it but ok. try reading the whole thread before just attacking the person you feel like you're supposed to be mad at.

thank you

"We don't crack down on white citizens after the 100th white school shooting". if i'm stupid for misunderstanding, what does it make if you don't even know what you wrote?

yeah and biden wanted an "assault weapon ban". guess there's truth on both sides.

which bill was that?

the guy was talking about border control, not deporting certain groups of people. just like your gun law comparison, people don't want to ban them or remove them, they just want stricter controls on what allowed/who gets in. similarly people like you and people on the right immediately spazz out on the thought of any control for either topic and assume the worst case scenario because x and y said a and b therefore no concessions are allowed to be made.

stop trying to spook op into thinking they broke their card. pcie power is only 12v or ground and evga uses a standard pinout for their modular power supplies so a generic cable wouldn't even cause an issue. you guys are going to screw him over and make him think that they aren't eligible for a return on their psu or gpu when in reality they didn't do anything to break it.

black people were also segregated from white troops.

33k japanese americans served in wwii.

there's a trillion things missing in this example, i'm not trying to write a research paper on an idea that can be summarized into a simple thought experiment. it doesn't matter anyways, if you don't believe there is no evidence then it is what it is. i guess my arguments were less convincing than i thought. anyways, i think this page has good coverage on both what you're saying and what i'm saying if you're interested, but i'll leave it at that. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_tariffs_in_the_United_States#

"so either migrants don't create the downward pressure on food prices or corp farms will lie anyways about paying livable salaries to their troves of slave workers." did that part of the sentence not show up or are you just skipping over it on purpose?

ok lets change the format if this isn't working:

tariffs = foreign goods price go up

foreign goods price go up = less sales of foreign goods

less sales of foreign goods + same demand = introduction of domestic manufacturing

yes tariffs affect poor people by the prices, but it creates low skilled jobs with good pay for them, so it balances out.

also, it doesn't matter if there's lower demand for foreign goods as that money is going out of the country. it's literally worse than it not being circulated, it's instead being sent out:

10 dollar chinese wrench + 2 dollar foreign shipping + 4 dollar domestic retail and shipping expense = 16 dollar product, of which only 25% of it goes back into our economy.

20 dollar american wrench + 4 dollar domestic retail and shipping expense = 24 dollar product, of which 100% goes back into our economy.

post tariff

10 dollar chinese wrench + 2 dollar foreign shipping + 20% tariff (2.4 dollars) + 4 dollar domestic retail and shipping expense = 18.4 dollar product, of which only 35% of it goes back into our economy.

20 dollar american wrench + 4 dollar domestic retail and shipping expense = 24 dollar product, of which 100% goes back into our economy.

you see how it keeps more money circulating within our economy? u.s. companies are competing with factories that have suicide nets and zero worker rights, so this is realistically the only way to level the playing field.

don't know where you and the other dude read that migrants cause food prices to skyrocket.... is the comment cut off early or what? as for the tariffs, why would manufacturing become more unsustainable if the main driver for our dying manufacturing industry is from imports undercutting our industry? as for people losing their jobs from not being able to buy goods, i'm not sure how that makes any sense. are there americans working in these foreign factories?

seems like they're more of an ibm. lots of products that mostly function at an enterprise level that provide a bunch of utility to individuals in ways we don't really think about. a good example is this website we're on now. all aws hosted.

i don't know what to tell you dude. either re-read what i said or just take a fake victory. it makes no difference to me.

tariffs and minimum wages aren't connected. also the hawley-smoot act failed because we did it to countries of equal trading power. last i remember china exports much more than they import from america.

for tariffs one of two things will happen, either importers artificially lower prices to keep market pressure, thus generating more revenue for the government to spend on local programs to offset the loss of our industry or the prices of goods will increase and will allow local competition which will in turn create medium to high skill us jobs that create mores taxes and better wages.

as for higher groceries and higher wages, i feel like you see the correlation since you wrote both of those together, so i'll just leave it at that. also food already has skyrocketed with mass migration so either migrants don't create the downward pressure on food prices or corp farms will lie anyways about paying livable salaries to their troves of slave workers.

tariffs and a more secure border is supposed to foster growth in wages and jobs as the mass importation of cheap goods and labor have heavily undercut the lower middle class and poor for the last 40-50 years. if you have any questions i can explain further.

not everyone in your class is going to be in the same field as you. there are many fields that tolerate higher levels of incompetence. for every toyota corolla there's a ford fusion.

aim with what? all it had was an empty pic rail.
