i half expect that if you poll about Putin in Ukraine you'll get better approval ratings than kid starver's

Are all Evangelicals activists under this model?

I mean, yeah. Neo-pentecostalism is the Vanguard Party of american reaction. It is the primary means the american empire exports reactionary ideology and organizes the reactionary base, both at home and abroad.

i thought i was wandering into badpost but jesus that video

imagine you're the prime minister of japan or the president of samsung and you are thinking of ways of weasling your way out of the 'Big Beautiful Deal' or at least making money out of it only for the US to turn around and shit their pants

'MAHA-ha yes' shouldn't have broken me yet here I am

Not without an actual, robust plan towards industrialization. Import taxes are just one tool in the arsenal towards such an end. Without a larger movement from the state, what you end up with is just a wealthy retail sector making a lot of money from selling inputs and finished goods to industry, farmers and the masses. As well as a shift of the tax burden towards the poorest of society. US producers will continue to import whatever they need, and pay the middlemen for it while the US public will continue to import cheap high quality goods from China and elsewhere, while also paying middlemen for it.

Basically, what you need is a larger plan and redistribution model that makes it profitable, efficient and useful to produce, say, Steel in the United States with its current level of financial wealth. Without that, you'll continue to import Steel from the rest of the world only the poorest of society will bear that burden while companies that cannot pay the premium just go belly up. That's not counting the things the USA straight up doesn't have any business producing, like oranges or coffee. Hawaii and Florida have better shit to do with their land than trying to make up for brazilian production.

The way I see it the real contradiction is whether the US government can collapse the dollar standard or not. Ending the dutch disease of just printing dollars for all purposes is the one thing that would push the american estabilishment towards creating a new status quo - for better or for worse.

my cult's 'what is a cult' whiteboard is raising a lot of questions already answered by the whiteboard

In Brazil they were offering 5k USD per month and that's life changing money.

no wait i need to know how he makes teriyaki

People make some crazy extrapolations when it comes to food and I think it is all about how the information space is dominated by magical thinking. It is not eating too much sugar and fat, it is 'chemicals' that are poisoning you. Or maybe fiber is secretly bad for you. Or maybe its actually protein, so go on a sugar diet (latest fad). And so on. The way to success is always paved with one single and very special solution. This isn't an internet age thing either and, to be fair, we demonized fat until very recently. The food industry has been engendering this sort of thinking for a long time now.

The real value of homecooking is that you're empowered to make your own choices. You eat storebought food, they can add a lot of salt, sugar and oil to make up for, say, diminished appeal from worse ingredients. When you make your homemade pasta, you decide how much fat goes into your dish and when. I love making garlicky pasta frying the garlic in as little oil as I can just so I can add a good deal of olive oil after the fact.

I'm gonna go out on a limb and just assume Ukrainian drones are just making their way to Russia via NATO's airspace. How far can drones fly anyway?
