@N3QEH It was today I realized that the venn diagram of ham radio enthusiasts and lock picking hobbyists (myself included for both) may be very close to a circle.
@GigaBasedDad@LibertyCappy Now do a Von Hayek meme about Trump’s consolidation of government power over individual citizen’s rights as well as broad tariffs. Cherry picking quotes is easy, but I know it’s hard to have a consistent world view
@enslaved1s@ReallyAmerican1 Don’t disagree. I’ve been to China a number of times, seen their infra first hand. Since 1978 the US has been shedding skilled workers and infra. It will take decades to build it back. Tariffs work, but also need domestic incentives and worker training. It has to be a package
@enslaved1s@ReallyAmerican1 I’ve sourced overseas products for 20 years. It’s true that the functions of tariffs are to increase demand for domestic products. Problem is there is no US infrastructure. Even if this works in the long run, you have to also have a short term strategy to build US infra.
@_whitneywebb I think your book is one of the most important books of a generation. Anyone touting catch all solutions to decades of criminal activity and corruption isn’t paying attention. The fact that you don’t provide “solutions” gives you even more credibility I think
@claytoncubitt For anyone on the fence I bought a black Ban Billionaires hoodie and it’s one of my favorites. I get a lot of comrade compliments when I wear it too so that’s a plus.
