You know what China should do? Ban all exports to the US. Wtf you gonna tariff now, bitch?

Paused to wait for what? What is going to change as time passes?

Yes, billionaires could end poverty. But they never did and never will.

I keep hoping that someone, publicly, in front of Trump himself, completely belittles him. Example transcript:

Trump: Tariffs are good! Make America strong! Person: (loudly and with dismissive hand gestures) Oh shut up, you incoherent crybaby idiot. Nobody cares what you think. Trump: You can't shush me! Person: You seem grumpy. Did you eat recently? Maybe go play with your friends?

(I hope you are able to come up with more colorful and hilarious examples of convos)

Based on my own hand-wavy analysis, I think that it will be effective on two fronts: 1. Narcissistic collapse of Trump. It would break Trump, in public, which will probably make him look even more like a crybaby, idiot. 2. Collapse of the cult of personality around him, specifically "the strongman" personality.

There is a Bloomberg opinion piece (https://archive.ph/JKT85) that ~~stated~~ argues that China is so-called trade wars proof. TLDR: almost no day-to-day goods are imported from the US. The imports from the US are mainly things like cars, phones, etc. That is, tariffs will have a very small effect on the lower and middle classes in China. Compare this to the situation in the US: China is the main source for cheap items at Walmart, Amazon, etc. Tariffs can absolutely devestate the lower classes in the US.

So, it seems that China can easily win the attrition war against the US.

Keep in mind that tapes are still the most efficient storage medium, in terms of both cost and physical space used. What they lack is speed. These characteristics make them the perfect medium for archiving and backup.

To add: there's no way money can be saved by switching to another medium. Switching to HDDs, SSDs, etc will be many times more expensive, and switching to cloud would be much more expensive over the long run. It's unclear whether he wants to move existing data to other mediums (very expensive and stupid - the tapes are already there and have almost no upkeep) or just new data (slightly less stupid).

I agree, but what is the alternative? I mean, is there a neutral way to get new supreme court justices?

(Honestly askibg)

He slashed people before he died. I'm going to go ahead and say it. This guy is a real jerk!

Who is "you" here, other than the OP? All non-conservatives?

I love the line "Mullin ... criticized The Oklahoman for covering the story."

Actually, if you can't win at a game then it is by definition a rigged game.

I hope so.
