None of this matters. Bannon is still useful to the media when they want a headline but he doesn’t have enough influence with Trump to actually action anything like this anyways. Trump’s cabinet is nothing but billionaires lol.

Any tariffs contribute to inflation, but tariffs on China will do this to the greatest visible degree possible. It’s why he backed down on that.

Brian whatshisface killed more Americans than Bin Laden .

It’ll go through in areas where Tesla doesn’t or can’t make a product for it. There isn’t even going to be the pretense of fairness here. It’s why CEOs are lining up to grovel at Trump’s feet

Any business that gains a reputation for quality will immediately come under attack (yes it’s an attack) from vultures private equity seeking to buy it up for the rep, cut as many costs as possible until the product is ruined, coast on reputation alone for as long as possible, and then when the reputation is ruined sell it for parts. Very few brands manage to actually resist this in the long term.

My dad had a 286 with a 40MB hard drive in it. When it spun up it sounded like a plane taking off. A few years later he had a 486 and got a 2gb Seagate hard drive. It was an unimaginable amount of space at the time.

The computer industry in the 90s (and presumably the 80s, I just don’t remember it) we’re wild. Hardware would be completely obsolete every other year.

There’s a good chance that if this gets enough push back they’ll just implement it quietly and call it something else. Nobody will even know.

You absolutely suck at articulating a point. Here, let me do it for you: the problem with vigilante justice is that the lack of a process around who gets got means that eventually someone is going to kill someone who didn’t deserve it. While Brian Thompson was a worthless parasite who literally thrived based on how much he could increase human suffering, the answer is to reform the systems that allow him to exist, rather than calling for random people to take matters entirely into their own hands and kill whomever they deem unworthy of life. The answer is to bring genuine health care reform into the democratic realm and get to a point where health insurance companies that have a direct profit-motive to deny as many claims as possible either do not exist, or are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

Way better than a kidneystone, fwiw.

I would hope so considering many people, including women who have given birth, describe kidney stones as the worst pain they’ve ever felt lol.

None of that amounts to this:

If things are okay just because we like them and not okay just because we don’t then what kind of morals are acting on?

The reasons this was justifiable have been explained to you ad nauseum. You insist on pretending like its an arbitrary whim despite that. Do you cry every time a drug cartel kingpin gets shot?

Eligible voters who didn’t vote don’t matter.

See better.

If things are okay just because we like them and not okay just because we don’t

That’s not the situation, nor what anyone is asserting. Who are you talking to?

Dfc

Just because you can’t tell the difference between this guy and a school shooter doesn’t mean other people can’t, or that the distinction is arbitrary. This guy killed more Americans than Bin Laden and his death was celebrated.

Conflicts of interest are not something that matter anymore. I think they should matter, but American voters have decided that they don’t. Not much point in discussing it.

He holds the distinction of fighting in the most comically lopsided boss fights ever filmed. Arnold circa 1984 vs my neighbor Larry who always lets me borrow his ladder and smokes a mean brisket while drinking 12 beers.

It’s useful to precise about exactly why it’s bad. The idea that capitalism breeds efficiency is baked into the American psyche at this point. But in this case it’s literally the opposite of the truth.

This isn’t like a highly trained transplant surgeon demanding a salary of 800k instead of 600k. No health care is delivered by an insurance company.

Every dollar earned in profit by a health insurance company is a dollar that was spent on health care for which no health care was delivered. They are literally just inefficiency in the system.
