Not to mention the companies that are damaged by retaliatory tariffs. Yeah, that's some really good shit, Meltie. You fucking moron. Your foreign policy expertise is on a par with your hero's.

Leave the country, commie fuck. You’re not an American. Apparently, you think it’s great to get fucked on trade deals. What a ball-slurping, jizz-soaked liberal sheep you are. If CNN told you that your mother was General Motors, you’d suck off every Buick you saw, and I won’t even mention what you’d do to Chevrolet’s.

Trump isn’t smart. Neither are most unions.

No wonder both support these tariffs.

POPLAR BLUFF, Mo. — When a Mexican company bought Mid Continent Nail Corp. in 2012, workers at the factory here feared it was the beginning of the end. Their jobs, they suspected, would be given to lower-paid workers in Mexico, more casualties of the hollowing out of U.S. manufacturing driven in part by an embrace of global trade.

Instead, Mid Continent’s factory has doubled in size since Deacero’s purchase. The company, facing fewer restrictions on steel exports after the North American Free Trade Agreement, shipped steel into Missouri, willing to pay skilled workers more to take advantage of cheaper energy costs in the United States and a location that allowed swift delivery to U.S. customers.

But President Trump has put 25 percent tariffs on steel imports, bumping production costs and prompting Deacero to reconsider this arrangement. With Mid Continent charging more for nails, orders are down 70 percent from this time a year ago despite a booming construction industry. Company officials say that without relief, the Missouri plant could be out of business by Labor Day — or that remaining production could move to Mexico or another country.

And so trade restrictions aimed at preventing U.S. jobs from heading to Mexico and elsewhere have instead hampered a Mexican company’s multimillion-dollar effort to create jobs in the United States — an unintended consequence of Trump’s trade war that demonstrates the difficulty of attacking trading partners without hurting workers at home.

The layoffs have already begun. The company now employs fewer than 400 workers, down from about 500 before the tariffs took effect last month. Temporary contract workers have been let go. Some permanent workers have left for other jobs, in anticipation of a new wave of employment losses or the possible shuttering of the plant.

“We’re in a situation where we’re fighting against our own country,” said Chris Pratt, operations general manager at Mid Continent. “It seems like a battle we shouldn’t be having to fight.”

Nobody wins in a trade war, you god forsaken moron.

1. International trade.

“The most obvious place where libertarians are internationalists is economic relations. True libertarians advocate the free flow of trade and investment, without government restrictions. This is about as international as you can get. For libertarians, the origin of a product or service is irrelevant. People around the world should be able to buy and sell from each other without government interference. …

“Unfortunately, in most countries today, there is a strong sentiment for favoring domestic economic actors over foreign ones. This feeling manifests itself in various forms, such as tariffs and Buy National procurement policies. Libertarians stand almost completely united against this nationalist feeling, believing that trade and other economic interaction with foreign actors benefits us all.”

The film, “Rub and Tug” (Goob’s favorite genre based on his preoccupation with Spray’s anatomy) is being panned by trannies because it didn’t showcase an actual tranny in the starring role. According to the social media shit storm, Jennifer Lawrence is the wrong person to be cast as a tranny because... wait for it... she’s not a tranny. Authenticity is the order of the day, meaning if you are an actor but aren’t of the specific identity (gender, race, sexual orientation, political affiliation, sex, age, religion (nope, that’s one category that doesn’t count these days), culinary preference, etc) you may not play someone depicted as such in a movie or play.

I know, I know, identity politics are moving so fast that it’s hard to keep up, but at least try, Shlomo. We’re counting on you on this board to provide gifs and levity. But if you don’t know what is the latest in the culture wars, how can you hold up your end of the bargain?

Scarlett Johansson, not Jennifer Lawrence.

Say what? Just because I make note of the fact that he's not just a retard, but a fat FUCKING retard, that does not represent any preoccupation with his anatomy. It's merely an observation of fact.
