You do know that illegal crossings are down significantly, right? Are you crediting Biden with that? Biden is not censoring anything. Trump is doing his best to get himself locked up by states, not the federal government, dingus. Trump spent a third of his time golfing and STILL managed to fuck things up horribly. Did you just run this through AI and it hallucinated garbage?
OMG. I completely forgot they used to come in those. It’s like “let’s not just have this very degradable plastic have really salty food in it, let’s go ahead and add some water and microwave it.”
I wonder why we are finding micro plastics in people. /s
I think I have seen crappy styrofoam coolers a couple years ago for 4th of July. Those at least are meant to have containers inside of them. Drinks though, especially acidic ones, are nuts to put in styrofoam. That shit breaks down pretty easily which means it is going straight into your drink.
I’ve had the Double Down because it was an absurd idea. Mine tasted like an entire shaker of salt.
That always happens with tariffs unless they are small. You ship the unfinished product somewhere else to be assembled. Sometimes it even makes more sense to ship a finalized product somewhere to then disassemble it and reassemble it in the same factory.
Cliff’s notes: Belgian King Leopold II convinced countries that he would take Congo for humanitarian purposes and also implement free trade. He focuses on rubber production and forced local populations to meet production quotas. If you did not meet your quota, they took your hand. If you didn’t meet it again, they’d either take another body part or take a body part (heads were not unheard if) of one of your children. Millions were murdered. But King Leopold II and Belgium got a lot of money so it was all worth it in the end, right? /s
That was a good episode but it is also very outdated at this point since it is over 7 months old now. The reason nobody was buying it was indeed because the government had set a rate that was completely out of whack with its actual value and they implemented exchange controls to stem the outflow of foreign exchange reserves to put up the appearance of legitimacy. Milei removed the capital controls though and floated the currency. It was expected to free fall and it has. Milei is a far right nutjob but a pegged currency to encourage investment followed by exchange controls has never worked out for Argentina.
