Right, he did, but here’s my point: Project 2025 doesn’t actually come out clearly for or against tariffs. So in so far as “they wrote it all down in Project 2025 and told you exactly what they’re going to do”, that’s just not the case for tariffs. And even the guy in favor of tariffs wasn’t talking about such broad and strong tariffs all at once.

In other words, this is Trump’s plan on his own.

I mean, that’s basically what US Social Security is. It also has a cap, and poorer people actually get a little more out of it than they put in, while higher earners get less. It’s just that it doesn’t pay enough to work on its own.

The old idea was that the US would have three legs of retirement: Social Security, 401k’s, and traditional corporate pensions. Each of these has downsides, but a failure in one can be propped up by the other two. However, Social Security is being pilfered, corporate pensions rarely exist unless you have one of the unions that has maintained power until now, and 401k’s are too subject to the wild rides of the stock market.

What does Project 2025 have to say about tariffs?

The argument against the M16 right now is that an intermediate caliber rifle can’t do anything against modern body armor (Edit: and to the other poster, this also applies to the HK416). Works if you’re shooting poor brown people, but not anyone with a well equipped military. The US itself is in the middle of replacing the M16 for this reason.

When the XM7 was being developed, there was a chance the whole thing was a mistake if a near-peer war never happened. Now the likelihood of a near-peer war is looking more likely.

The depth of stupidity of this Administration will be studied by mathematicians for centuries as a new form of fractal.

Helps when you’re a kid, and not the one paying $2/picture for the flash.

Source. Take the cost based on a 12-pack of Magicubes, divide in 4 because there’s 4 shots per cube, and adjust for inflation.

The Milwaukee Zoo Interchange cost $1.7B.

Wisconsin currently has $4.5B sitting right there in the bank. This happened because Republicans don’t want to give the Democratic governor a win by doing, say, a big infrastructure project, paying for school lunches, or just giving it back to citizens as a tax credit. The good news is that the Supreme Court win means nobody is going to try to push through ultra gerrymandered maps again, and Democrats have a chance to take control of the legislature next election.

For Wisconsin itself, it’s huge. It keeps breathing room available at the state level.

Another bad investment by the Muskrat.

Not really. When you frame it in a way where you don’t sound like a right wing nutter, I find people tend to accept it.

They know all this. They didn’t fire her out of ignorance.

There’s a lot of Christian fundies who say that, but then drag out the old testament when convenient. Almost like they’re picking and choosing what to believe.

Jesus had nothing to say about gay people. He had an awful lot to say about hypocrisy of religious leaders.

Doesn’t really matter. Ukraine does not have significant rare earth deposits in the first place. The whole thing is a farce.

Nope, we don’t. This talking point is about a decade out of date. The solutions are all sitting right there without building any new nuclear.

I think a lot of the reports of high bandwidth/cheap rates around Europe are cherry picked. When I looked a nationwide averages, it doesn’t seem particularly better or worse than much of the US. At least, not in the populated areas of the US. Rural access is another issue.

A router is also an open-by-default device, and knows how to handle routing protocols like OSPF. It’s not something you would usually use at home unless you’re into that sort of thing. Things we tend to call a “router” are all-in-one firewall/switch/access points.

Right, and for another thing, it sounds like they’re actually following procedures to get court orders/warrants. Now, business as usual in the United States wasn’t great as it was, but this doesn’t fit how the Trump federal government has been doing things.

It has to function the same. It has to follow the same laws as before.

Bur more likely, they know this and it’s all part of privatizing social security.

Can-Am Spyders don’t roll over easily. You have to put them into reverse while cranking the wheel and pulling the e-brake.
