Well that sucks but they sure as hell won’t be able to buy one “made in America” either. The raw materials for batteries alone would have tariffs on them as well. Unless we have massive amounts of cobalt, lithium, copper, silicon, cadmium, etc, to be able to produce these items domestically, working class and middle class Americans will not be able to afford them.

They already tried “made in America” Apple products and they did not sell! Americans don’t want to pay $5K for an iPhone when they can pay 80% less for one made in China.

What do you think an effect of that $5M gold card is going to be? Good luck continuing to compete with institutional investors and ultra wealthy.

He rejected the plea deal. Taking a plea deal means you forgo trial. Granted actual mass murderers received lesser sentences like LWOP.

Say nothing for the US citizens who are also being detained and/or deported.

Many subs already are.

Multiple economists overwhelmingly stated that his policy proposals were inflationary. MAGA accused them of being “liberals” and disregarded their warnings as fake. Working people aren’t going to be saving anything unless it’s by a sheer cut back in their spending as they try to save money. And of course saving won’t matter if Trump axes FDIC.

Unsurprising considering that Rubio has tied his identity so closely with being anti-Cuba. Many of the Cuban American diaspora in the US echo his sentiments. I like that the article highlights how many medical professionals got their education in Cuba, including a number of Americans.

This article cites South Korea as an example of falling birth rates. However, some data shows that South Korea’s initiatives have helped it see in a light uptick in their birth rates. Time will tell ultimately whether or not the policies are a success. Link to article on Al Jazeera about SK.

You know I used to think that things like feeding starving kids was not controversial. But now with people feeling safe behind their keyboards, I have read some of the worst takes from others regarding children. Ironically, always from people who claim to be religious and “pro-life”.
