@Tim_Walz Tariffs are taxes on Americans to benefit a small group of people: the American manufacturers of the tariffed goods. They are bad, objectively.

But so is every entitlement program that Walz supports.

@RGIII If there wasn’t any non-basketball controversy, no one would talk about it. ESPN would continue trying to artificially generate hype, but it wouldn’t work, just like it’s never worked. It’s not a good enough product.

This is not true at all and such a bad message.

If people make good choices (i.e. hard work, getting married before having kids, graduating high school, avoiding being consumed by vice, etc), they will very likely be not be poor. Don’t remove their agency and play the socialist game.

I thought tariffs were paid for by foreign countries.

Why would we ever lower them and not collect that ?

Who knew lowering tariffs would lower consumer prices 🤷🏻‍♀️😀

[Friedman Fighter @FriedmanFight]

I agree that Trump should be criticized in the beef controversy. However, the criticism is that he only temporarily cut the tariffs and is leveraging this to fix the price. He needs to entirely remove the govt from economic negotiations and let the free market work. It’s obvious that his decision is not based in any principle and rather to temporarily please the masses.

The issue is not that beef farmers are going to struggle against foreign competition. They shouldn’t have been gifted an advantage at the cost of American consumers in the first place.

@RepThomasMassie Massie wants to artificially boost the profits of his farming constituency at the cost of the American consumer. According to him, the government not choosing favorites is worse than socialism.

Trump’s worst crime here is that it’s only for 90 days.

[Friedman Fighter @FriedmanFight]

The key phrase here is “Not a solution for American ranchers”. There’s no principle behind what Good Ranchers is advocating for. They want the government to impose tariffs that hurt every beef consumer in order to artificially boost their own company’s performance.

I don’t blame them for lobbying their own interests, but it’s right to point out that it’s completely self serving, and consumers shouldn’t agree with it. If your buisness can’t work in a free market, it shouldn’t exist.

@ryschu93 @MeriwetherFarms Oh do you blindly support everything trump does?

[Friedman Fighter @FriedmanFight]

@j_fishback The government doesn’t get to pick winners and losers. Tariffs are Trump’s worst position.

@SenSanders Thanks for highlighting this Bernie. Out of curiosity, are there any other categories with disproportionate representation of the black community?

We aren’t giving billionaires anything. The word giving makes it sound like we are donating to them. Instead, we trade money to them in exchange for their good or service. I know you use X, have some sort of computer, and I’m sure you use Amazon as well. All of these were made possible by (now) very rich people taking a massive risk and doing something ground breaking that betters humanity. Modern day comforts don’t just spawn in on their own.

Homelessness largely exists because of drug addiction and severe mental illness. Maybe 1% or so are people “down on their luck”. Laws that are lenient on people living on the street and shooting up drugs create a perverse incentive structure to stay on the street. We need to crack down more.

@elephant_woman1 @player1129949 @admcrlsn Which principles made the country the most prosperous in the world? Government regulation and entitlement programs or free markets?

What do you mean doesn’t work? Every generation has lived far more comfortably than the generation before. That isn’t because of the government.

@BrianAtlas This is the least surprising development from Candace. She said there was a 0% chance Tyler Robinson killed Charlie. It’s laughable how dishonest she is and how people still listen.

A caveman discovers fire for the first time. He can finally stay warm for the upcoming winter. Upon hearing about this new technology, his fellow Neanderthals get wary. The caveman might be able trade his fire producing ability with others who exchange food and tools for his trouble. At this rate, he will eventually have a lot more than the other cavemen. That’s inequality. It’s not fair, obviously. Even worse, someone else finds out the fire emits carbon in the atmosphere. After a while, this carbon might make the temperature slightly warmer. Time to panic.
The Neanderthals use common sense legislation to ban all fire building in the immediate area. They call it a moratorium. Caveman gives up on fire. A cold winter ensues. Caveman dies.

Yea the edge ideologically still goes to the conservatives, but it’s getting closer by the day as more people shift towards Carlson-esque economics.

Now the politicians on both sides are equally spineless, power hungry cowards that have no basic principles. Maybe conservatives are slightly better there as well, but not by much.

@SecDuffy @POTUS Zip it up when you’re done Sean.

[Friedman Fighter @FriedmanFight]

@libsoftiktok Libs will ruthlessly celebrate the political assassination of their enemies and then call conservatives fascists because Trump made a joke about running for a third term.
