@Hikaru_Chansey@PokemonRestocks Dang that sucks. Haven’t personally bought any from Amazon, but all of the tins i’ve gotten from CVS/Walgreens have great pulls and good quality.
Look at me. I’m a Cape Cod liberal. I don’t have to chain my bikes to cement or lock my doors at night—because diversity is something I vote for, not something I live near.
I support open borders from the comfort of my historically preserved colonial. My kids attend “inclusive” schools where everyone’s named Cooper or Maeve. I talk endlessly about systemic injustice, then retreat to my 98% white ZIP code to decompress with restorative yoga and a $17 smoothie.
The nearest Black person is on the New York Times opinion page I didn’t read and I like to post about redlining while sitting on inherited property that I pretend I earned. I’m not racist though I just like “good schools” in “quiet neighborhoods” and if you label me a hypocrite, I’ll accuse you of hate speech.
@CrippsNumber1@RasmusJarlov I don’t think anyone knows why he does it. I think the Americans that voted for Trump are more concerned with Action and Results rather than words.
On Trade, I have decided, for purposes of Fairness, that I will charge a RECIPROCAL Tariff meaning, whatever Countries charge the United States of America, we will charge them - No more, no less!
For purposes of this United States Policy, we will consider Countries that use the VAT System, which is far more punitive than a Tariff, to be similar to that of a Tariff. Sending merchandise, product, or anything by any other name through another Country, for purposes of unfairly harming America, will not be accepted. In addition, we will make provision for subsidies provided by Countries in order to take Economic advantage of the United States. Likewise, provisions will be made for Nonmonetary Tariffs and Trade Barriers that some Countries charge in order to keep our product out of their domain or, if they do not even let U.S. businesses operate. We are able to accurately determine the cost of these Nonmonetary Trade Barriers. It is fair to all, no other Country can complain and, in some cases, if a Country feels that the United States would be getting too high a Tariff, all they have to do is reduce or terminate their Tariff against us. There are no Tariffs if you manufacture or build your product in the United States.
For many years, the U.S. has been treated unfairly by other Countries, both friend and foe. This System will immediately bring Fairness and Prosperity back into the previously complex and unfair System of Trade. America has helped many Countries throughout the years, at great financial cost. It is now time that these Countries remember this, and treat us fairly – A LEVEL PLAYING FIELD FOR AMERICAN WORKERS. I have instructed my Secretary of State, Secretary of Commerce, Secretary of the Treasury, and United States Trade Representative (USTR) to do all work necessary to deliver RECIPROCITY to our System of Trade!
