Essential and non-essential are almost meaningless distinctions for most goods people use on a daily basis. I could LIVE on beans and water. Do I NEED toothpaste? Aspirin? How much am I allowed to enjoy something before it's a non-essential good?

People paid more for something because they were forced to, and it wasn't for any economically necessary reason, and the cause was illegal, making it tantamount to theft, and refunds to companies equivalent to receiving stolen goods.

Nitpicking the necessity of the good is a cheap excuse to do nothing, not a gotcha.

Let them. It's better than "nobody will let it be fair so we won't even try."

Take the total tariff income, divide it by the number of people in the country, and send out the checks.

It's the ONLY legitimate way to handle it.

Not that I'm defending Lindsay Graham in ANY way shape or form, but isn't it a professional faux pas to reveal your clients as a sex worker?

"Don't bring me problems. Bring me solutions."

Is it beneficial to risk your own job to save your company from its own stupid leadership knowing they'll learn nothing and do something worse down the line?

Asking legitimately.

That's okay.

It's not a real company, either.

Your mistake was assuming the world ending meant everyone would die.

What it really meant was the ending of your ability to control your own destiny, and we are in fact in the latter stages of the closing of that noose, no matter how much the "we'll just grow a community garden in our commune" people like to delude themselves that the system will let them go.

Computers still exist and they still have browsers and they still work for your bank's website.

Even in the browser of an unverified phone.

Don't worry... It'll only take another 20 years to get back the herd immunity we already lost. And that's assuming the idiots who listened to him in the first place don't decide this is a liberal psyop and they know he REALLY means NOT to get the vaccination.

You mean my emergency disk space?

How about you guys kiss the pimpliest part of my ass instead?

What are you talking about? She's got this.

That's a shame... I sure hope no trolls start publicly accusing these leopards of being paid leftist actors until their own people turn on them.

Yeah... the risk/reward does not have a good skew.

The inflation reduction act. Like it or hate it it did something.

All we have to do is pass it through the legislative body that hasn't passed a consequential piece of normal law since 2022. Easy.
