I know you don't cRusty. I know you're all about cis-gendered women having to compete against men.

That's why whenever this is brought up, you can't defend it, so you just tap out.

Accepted

What is there to defend? There was a fencing tournament that a woman signed up for and refused to play against another eligible woman, so she was kicked out of the tournament, which is standard policy for the US Fencing organization. These are adults playing for fun and this awful person tries to have a Riley Gaines moment against over a trans woman who finished 24th out of 39 participants.

eff that vile woman for making a spectacle of the event and potentially putting the trans woman's life at risk and eff anyone who thinks she was treated unfairly and wants to use this for political gain.

Yeah!! eff this dumb $!#*!! Who in the hell does she think she is refusing to play in this dumb match??  What right does she think SHE has?

What rights were taken away from the woman who quit?

I don’t love the tariffs, I love laughing at the self professed resident titans of the free market - battling hard on behalf of foreign tariffs and VATS 3x our average sales tax (in the case of the EU). 

In other news the Yield curve is down .62% saving truck loads of money on our debt payments.

You love tariffs almost as much as you don't understand VATs

Why is trans sports talk filtering into the general trans thread?

Words cannot describe how simp brained and stupid that sounds, cRusty.

were we not the richest country in the world with extremely low unemployment and a booming economy? Do you have complex data that sounds intelligent and disputes that?

That has nothing to do with how countries treat us on the trading front. It's absolutely comical to watch #blueanongE running around screaming about the free market and then to watch the same turn around and justify the tariffs and VATS.

The US had no VATS.  When countries levee both tariffs against imports and VATs on imports.  It is irrelevant if they level the same VATS against domestically produced same products, because the imported product in nearly every case will have the embedded cost of the tariff and the VAT covered in its retail price/and or final buy/contracted price at the market level.  All K-State educated (well most anyway) can figure out the rest.

 

dax what tariff rates are we talking here? lmao come on man

3rd question: I call upon #blueanongE to explain why tariffs and VATS on US goods are not a source of global tension, but when the us reciprocates in kind . . . it is a source of global tension. Answer below

because we are (were?) the richest country in the world. (plus in places where there are VATS they are applied to everything. it's a sales tax lol)

I'm still not fully clear how this is going to shake out but it seems like the global supply chain is going to be an even bigger mess than it already is

It will continue to be a mess as Trump gets off on the power of raising and lowering the tariffs and the Regime sells favors to domestic friends in exchange for relief from the tariffs. This will not be a set it and forget it thing for him.

It is wild that he can just set tariffs like this because he is so dumb

The population in China is hard to wrap your head around. I'm taking a high speed train the distance of basically Dallas to kc. But imagine Dallas had 20 million, kc had 6 million, and between them is like 3 more 5-8 million pop cities and like 15 1+million pop cities. The small ones are crazy looking because they are literally pop ups with like 30 of the exact same high rise. Of course the larger ones are a collection of 10 different areas of 30 of the exact same high rise, so at least there's some variety.

The scale is wild

Are people talkin' tariffs?

Also I care very much about women playing sports against men. My daughter plays club water polo in the men's division at her college. Why? She won't be the fastest or strongest or have the best shot but she loves the sport and loves to compete, which is what sports SHOULD be about at everything but the highest level.

Give me a rough ridin' break with people talking about trans women competing in adult regional fencing tournaments as an example of supporting women's sports. It's so disingenuous. eff that crap straight to hell.

I am and have always been anti-manufacturing jobs. They did a great job of building this country's economy but that phase of America is behind us.

Like you don't want humans specifically building crap? I'm hoping that doesn't mean you want no production regardless of automation, that seems stupid as eff.

I think he's saying that growing the manufacturing sector in today's US economy might not be the best goal for us given our current level of wealth. Which isn't crazy

Ah yes, the all encompassing "he lies about everything"

cRusty - why are you such a simpleton that you believe that what was disclosed isn't possible?

We found out during President Robo Pen's administration the US was still funneling millions upon millions of dollars to the Taliban.

in all seriousness I think there are elements of most Doge things that are feasible. But they are so intentionally misleading - inflated numbers, exaggerated narratives, lack of real receipts, vague details outside of the most outlandish, etc., that it's impossible for me to take anything they say at face value.
