I dunno .. Uber didn't realize there was a taxi strike and they turned off price surging (a noble thing) at JFK and that somehow got interpreted as Pro Trump and xenophobic.
Taxi strike? So not only are they clogging and blocking the airports for all the normal people not obsessed with politics, but they are refusing to taxi people too?
WAHHHHHHHHHHHHH can't believe how much I've cried because of Big Bad Donald Trump WAHHHHHHHHHHHHH
When was the last time a president did something that even remotely affected your everyday life? I honestly can't give you one fucking example from my own life. It's so funny to see these histrionic virtue queens lose their collective shit over something that doesn't affect them in any way. ME ME ME ME ME. MY VOICE WILL BE HEARD. Shut the fuck up and realize you get paid millions of dollars to play pretend for a living
Well if the changes that result from the ACA being repealed dont get you the 30% price hike on everything that crosses a border for you to buy is going to.
Not in the quantities we consume it, which will drive up prices too. This is all assuming that Mexico doesn't enter into an OPEC like trade league with every other warm weather country because then we're really fucked.
So you're happy with just not buying that shit because its going to be more expensive? Theres also the chance they sign a nafta like deal with giant consumers like China and Brazil and just start sending their shit there. Then you're going to enjoy avocados at 40% of the volume picked by american citizens for american citizen wages only during the CA growing season. Should be some lovely $30 guacamole.
Okay then j won't have avocados as often, fucking hell who gives a shit. Name one thing affected by this where the price increase would ruin your life.
Avocados are an example, we import a staggering amount of shit and all of it will be more expensive. That will literally ruin peoples lives because people are broke as it is. The idea that we're going to bring manufacturing back to America in this fashion isnt realistic. Shit thats made in America is expensive because you have to pay Americans to make it. If America was the only game in town we might get away with that but the way the Chinese, Brazilians and Indians spend money there is no shortage of non american market to make trade deals with.
You have a very basic understanding of both the existing and proposed import tax structure. If you think this is going to result on everything being more expensive you have no idea what's going on and probably think the TPP was good.

ELI5. I don't know enough about this shit to even discern whether or not this is a joke
n/a aprosbro 2017-01-30
Well it's a good think you feel so convicted about it then.
n/a xaway3 2017-01-30
It is a good think. But really, how will ACA being repealed help or hurt most people?

There's no reason why we can't grow most of the shit we get from Mexico inside the US.

then the demand will go down, we don't need to race to the fucking bottom on everything.

BOY Howdy we are reaching these days arent we fellas? How about the fat little bee girl from the No Rain video, is she an unbearable liberal cucktard?

I dont want politics in this sub. I just want off-color jokes about a radio show that died 2 and a half years ago.

Who gives a shit. Stop paying attention to their attention seeking, virtue-signalling stunts.
