Aw, those poor poor Trump supporters. What a terrible misfortune to have befallen them.

Trump learned

No he didn't.

But it's more than just that. The factories will never be built if industry leaders aren't sure the situation is stable.

No one will invest a billion dollars building factories and setting up supply lines if the tariffs could go away tomorrow. They would lose their investment. The only way they would commit all that money is if they know the tariffs are here to stay.

And if there's one thing we know about Donny it's that he's a fucking idiot. And it's there's two things we know about him it's that he's inconsistent and will bow to flattery. Only his most stubborn followers believe he'll actually stick to things as they are right now, meaning the desire to invest locally will never materialize.

Trump's stated reason for the tariffs (bringing industry back to the US) will never happen under his leadership. The only thing this will cause is pain and poverty for the American people.

Edit: And to prove this, mere hours after typing it the tariffs have been 'paused' for another 90 days. There's no stability. No one would invest that kind of money into building factories in the US only for this to happen... again.

You can get a pretty nice nest in exchange for a few good rocks.

Kabloona said she's tired of seeing people heading to the North with a colonial attitude about exploring the region — and wants an apology from Hempleman-Adams.

"We go and do the things that you're calling exploring and adventuring ... and [for us] it's just regular life," she said.

Fucking right. That's so insulting.

Must be nice to have money to invest for some later day when most people are trying to cover their bills today.
