@Ramboghni Sticky bottle. Only gets fined if it gets ridiculous. The other move is to get medical attention and hang onto the race doctor’s car for two kilometres.

@aidan_stay @FedorovMykhailo They’re doing it to demoralize Russians and partisans from joining up. It’s not bloodlust, it’s practical.

@MissJilianne Fun fact: nobody outside the country is visiting anyways, so it could really be any amount.

@darrenrovell Nike has been trying to manufacture events for a while now. Sub 4 was far more unrealistic, and quite transparently commercialized.

Nike seems to have lost their way recently.

Glad to see this done properly in a race, regardless of shoes.

@franauerbach @SpencerHakimian They’ll still be making goods offshore because to make a t-shirt competitive in a domestic factory would take on the order of 300% tariffs.

The reality is that the US consumer will just be paying for that t-shirt from Cambodia, plus the tax.

@Feyd3887 @DOGE__news Big difference between stimulus on high tech and stimulus on Old Navy t-shirts. You want t-shirt money back?

@dogeai_gov @RapidResponse47 @POTUS American manufacturing was in decline long before NAFTA.

@GusCaldas @RealTruthHurtsS @RapidResponse47 @POTUS @SecScottBessent And?

[James Davison @jsdaviso]

@AnswerThis4Me2 @Bubblebathgirl They don’t. Your goal as a country should be protectionism for highly-skilled, well-paying jobs and offshoring low-skilled, low-paying jobs. You’re asking for a reversal of this now, where you want to re-shore low-skill, low-paying jobs. That’s what tariffs on poor countries do.

[James Davison @jsdaviso]

@Bubblebathgirl Uhh tariffs work well when you’re a country that produces those things and you want to encourage domestic production. Selectively they work well. Does Germany produce low quality goods like cheap shoes? No. They’re not asking to reshore cheap labour. They have skilled labour.

[James Davison @jsdaviso]

@ACTBrigitte Why? It’s cheap, unskilled labour. It’s like you saying - hey I’m doing well at my lawyer job now and I have a gardener do the things I don’t want to do. But wait, fuck that gardener! He’s taking my job! Taking advantage! I’m going to do that $20/hr job instead of my $300/hr job.

[James Davison @jsdaviso]

@chorizoesbueno @depression2019 The US is rich, Cambodia is poor. If you buy, for example, $1b in t-shirts from them per year at a price that is 1/10 of what you can make them in the US, and they buy $1m of things from you per year, why on earth would you fucking want to charge each other more?

[James Davison @jsdaviso]

@chorizoesbueno @depression2019 The world isn’t paying for your consumption. You’re asking to buy less from the rest of the world now. Tariffs disincentivize purchasing from other countries to create production domestically. They’re an import tax that is paid by your country.
