Holly shit, Trump really wants to tank the economy. He's going for Chinese shipbuilders. A tarif on all Chinese ships and all companies that operate Chinese built ships. Yeah, good bye imports.

USTR Seeks Public Comment on Proposed Actions in Section 301 Investigation of China’s Targeting of the Maritime, Logistics, and Shipbuilding Sectors for Dominance

WASHINGTON — The Office of the United States Trade Representative is inviting comments from the public on proposed Section 301 actions aimed to obtain the elimination of China’s acts, policies, and practices targeting the maritime, logistics, and shipbuilding sectors for dominance. In this...

That's actually an area worth going after. It's strategically important for us to maintain a shipbuilding capacity. Some very targeted tariffs make sense. Broad based tariffs are terrible.

For instance, the domestic shipbuilding industry went from being a major producer of commercial oceangoing vessels to building barely any at all in a mere 10 years, thanks to a foolish move by the Reagan administration to wipe out construction subsidies without seeking reciprocal action from other nations.


That move was never revisited, even though the shipbuilding industry lost 40,000 workers during the Reagan years.

China built more than half of the ships by gross tonnage in 2023. This makes it very likely all shipping companies have some MIC ship.

The Take Industrial Complex is not sending their best these days...

 

[MrSquished]

Hey!!! stop insulting bricks..

I think I just discovered my halloween costume for this year. I'm going to dress up as a brick and when people ask why I'm dressed up as a brick for I'll say, I'm just dressed up smarter than a Trump voter.

She’s right though. It is weird. They’re cheap entirely because of animal abuse.

Wouldn't that apply to the vast majority of our animal-based food?

American food is really too cheap because of subsidies. The European model of eating less but higher quality is much more ecological.

2012 numbers Argentina 98kg/y USA 120.2kg/y

And Argentinians are known as meat eaters.

Yeah, pretty much what it all has become.

Get your hunting rifle or become a vegan if it bothers you.

It's strange but we've found out the hard way.. all those guns in America don't put eggs on the table!

 

[nakedfrog]

Get your hunting rifle or become a vegan if it bothers you.

Uh... yeah, or maybe I could advocate for change? Weird take.

Seriously, "shoot your own food or become vegan if you don't like us treating our animals like shit"? I think the world is a bit more complex than that. Here in WA we've already legally mandated cage free eggs, were you against that too?

New business idea. Guns that lay eggs.

No. But, I think there are people that have zero ideas about how, or where their food comes from and we created these animals specifically for our use for thousands of years through breeding. I don't think the animals would no any different, but it makes us feel better.

We can be meat eaters without necessarily having the gross factory farming system that exists today, but that could also mean people eat a little less meat. The horror of not having meat at everu single meal. How will Americans survive?
