    "In order to make it harder for people fleeing violence to come here and provide our farmers with cheap labor and our people with cheap fresh food, we're going to....make american citizens pay more for products" certainly is...a strategy?

    I don't know what's going on at this point.

    It’s basically a tax that gets paid by the company importing the goods. If you import a 10.000 ford from Mexico you have to pay 500 in tarifs to the state. These are obviously costs that will be passed on to consumers.

    Yeah many taxes aren't passed on dollar for dollar to the consumer but tariffs, which are basically sales taxes, come pretty close.

    I’d argue that the price increase that will eventually be passed on to the consumers will be more than 5% just because of the way margins work.

    Thinking of that story about how multiple people in the administration have tried to explain to trump how tariffs work and he just doesn’t believe them.

    I hate to be that guy but seeing this video years ago always left a sour taste in my mouth about the group. I know they’ve since apologized and atoned for their treatment of women while being young and dumb basked in fame. I won’t embed the video but here’s the link.

    yeah Ad Rock is married to Kathleen Hanna and when his father was accused of sexual assault he said he believed the women so at least now he seems pretty cool

    It’s no surprise Crowder is a homophobic dickwad. But this is so gross. Thread.
