Well... one of us is having a temper tantrum and the other isn't. At the end of the day, I come to this site because I enjoy talking basketball with fans of another program. I don't see any point in trying to have a nuanced economics discussion with someone who is becoming increasingly more upset.
He's the best. Guy won't address the fact that when Biden was causing inflation left and right his message was you won't see the full impact for years after Biden's out of office (expecting 8 years of him), now we see the full impact of tariffs in days. Amazing.
I’m fine with cutting waste in government. But do it with just a hair of class. Instead you have Trump and Elon calling out federal workers and demonizing them and now the Trumpers follow too. Most Federal workers are actual workers. It’s the appointees that are the problem. And many if the Doge won’t stick because Senate and Congress are not involved and approved those agencies by law. Some things will stick and that is good but have a little class in how you go about it.
I don't know what's going to happen with the tariffs in the long run. I'm willing to give it a chance. Not going nuts because America is taking a risk and not playing it safe. But this is the first era in American history where people haven't suffered for the benefit of the country. If Trump came out and did an FDR type speech of the the harder the sacrifice, the more glorious the triumph people wouldn't be supportive because everyone wants what they want and they want it now. Sacrifice isn't in our vocabulary as a country any more. It wouldn't be terrible to get to a point where we buy things with the tag made in the USA. Question is will the end result be greater than the sacrifice.
hmm allowing the presidency too much power, the highest position in government. aka the government. the government has too much power. didnt people want to avoid that?
Hilarious watching posters crying about personal attacks while defending the guy who's entire political career is based off crude personal attacks. I would call you hypocrites but you are probably too dumb to understand the concept of hypocrisy.
You personally attack people all the time for no reason. Another hypocritical idiot
Agree we should call them out when we disagree. I was very critical of Biden. Open borders, the liberal leaning everything. I said he wasn’t running the country as well. Why do you think I voted for Trump? It wasn’t because I like him. It was because he was the lesser of two evils. He ran on border security, improving trade and fixing the economy among other things. He should not be causing inflation and adding taxes (that is what tariffs are effectively). Dr Tinari taught me my economics well at Seton Hall. Tariffs are anti competition and you and I will pay for it. Do you think it will cost less for US manufacturing with our unions and our cost of living? Who will pay for the huge change in supply chains too? The consumer. It’s one thing to promote US manufacturing and target egregious trading partners. That approach was the right direction. This will not end well and the retaliatory tariffs have just begun. Other countries know Trump will be gone in 31/2years and will wait him out and trade with other partners.
It’s called balance of power. That is how the Constitution was written. But Congress and Senate continue to not do much of anything unfortunately failing you and me.
I’m hoping both sides say these tariffs are stupid and both sides end them. Question is can the tariffs impact these countries enough they can’t wait 3 years. If they can wait they’re going to use our system against us. If they can’t it could be very good for America. We are worried about the American consumer paying more but these other countries have never worried about their citizens paying more for our goods. Maybe this causes a place like Paterson to be silk city again.
Judging by our national debt, that’s par for the course. But we’re actually trying something new. We’re not doing the same thing and hoping for a different result for once.
Failed global trade policies from years ago don't qualify as "something new," in my opinion.
I’d say the world economy has changed much more drastically in 100 years than the desire to booze.
This can all end tomorrow if countries decide to end their tariffs on us. We have let everyone take advantage of us for decades. Markets around the globe are tanking. It’s funny how when inflation was going around the world, it was take notice it’s not just us. All those people who were ok with that should be equally understanding.
In that case, judging by his social media accounts, our president must have a ton of losing arguments lol
But aren’t both sides guilty? How many Democratic leaders kept repeating the same rant about Trump (existential threat, dictator, threat to Democracy, Hitler, etc)?
It was a joke. I'm poking fun at his(fairly common) all-caps, Frank the Tank level social media temper tantrums.
The political discourse is in the toilet. Politicians expect the electorate to listen to them and respect their opinions but they don’t deserve by their childish behavior. In all seriousness Trumps simplistic language and insults have become accepted by some.
you don't know what you're talking about
And you're more qualified because you watch Rachel Maddow? Or you're in on the meetings with Trump and know the ins and outs of his phone calls?
no i'm more qualified because of my college degrees and decades of professional experience
I feel better. I've been listening to Mr. Wonderful and Mark Cuban, thankfully we have you on the rivals board who has more experience in international business. My apologies. Should've known this before I voted.
I guess, but here's the thing. He doesn't post on this board (at least as far as we know). When people try to justify a lack of civility by suggesting that someone they never met, and isn't involved in the conversation, lacks civility, it seems to ring a bit hollow.
I think I was pretty clear. Did I say something that confused you? I figured with someone with a college degree and decades of experience would be able to comprehend without such a question.
no i mean i think it's just pretty embarrassing that you're incorrect worldview comes from shark tank and feel confident enough to lecture people about things. but that's how the world is now
My worldview comes from people with tons of experience and 2 completely different views of the world. You don't question listening to Mark Cuban because you align with him.
college degree and decades of experience, that’s the best comeback you got? Unoriginal.
Great, so you're arguing with a 13 year old. Classy guy you are.
