The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", sykesix asked the members: "What do you do if you arrive early at movie besides go to the snack bar?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

Nope. Didn't lose. Those were section 301.

You're moving the goalposts. It's a matter of debate what *mechanism* is chosen to implement the tariffs. What's not a matter up for debate is that the democrats are just fine with implementing them in the first place. If they didn't want them Biden would have rescinded them immediately.

So...tariffs aren't an issue for the democrats despite rhetoric around "affordability".

I would be interested in how "Canadians are being idiots also". Are you thinking of their retaliations? Because, in that event, we started it. So we are the real idiots, in that case.

1. They're the ones that walked away.
2. They, as I pointed out in another thread, don't have the slightest idea how their own economy works.
