Better yet they can keep the prices even after the costs go down.

This^

A lot of them saw the Biden “I did that” stickers blaming him for fuel prices at gas stations, and they believed it.

They saw Trump on Fox News saying that other countries would eat the cost of tariffs because they would rather lose profit than our business, and they believed it.

They didn’t see Biden investigate grocers and deny mergers, they didn’t see him using the US petro reserves to stabilize prices, they didn’t see him pass the many great things on affordability in the Inflation Reduction Act, they didn’t see him push affordable alternatives to power and fuel like solar and EVs, they didn’t see him allow new drilling sites despite pushback, they didn’t see it because whenever it was put in their faces they chose not to see it.

Fun Fact, since executive orders really only apply to the operations of the federal government and its employees, the Tariffs aren’t actually legal.

Big shipping magnates and importers could probably sue the federal government over any attempt to enforce the tariff, ignoring them all the while.

I’m pretty sure the XFL only existed between 2020 and 2023

I think words matter, comic artist should have just picked a country so as not to look like a neonazi. There should always be 0 ambiguity on topics like this.

Countries in North America are not Expansionist, have not been in lifetimes, so fantasizing about that is something only done by creepy weirdos and nutjobs. Let us not normalize any such talk.

Implementing a policy for “north america” would require a governing body.

The Country of “North America” ?

Party Leadership dont get to be our scapegoat, the US People chose Hillary and Biden over Bernie by massive numbers.

Rather late than never.

Well it isn’t beneficial for the company because people might realize they hold unpopular opinions and the company wants to be able to control the people’s opinions regardless of popularity, that way they can keep users on the site engaging with that content for longer.

I’m on the fence with the thumbs vs stars. On one hand, a boolean is probably better than an integer for a number of reasons. Another thing to consider is that the five star system can be gamed by only giving 0 or 5 depending on if you believe the content deserves a higher or lower average, meaning people who figure that out have more voting power… which is… better?

GDP measures consumption, government spending, and exports minus imports.

GDP means Gross Domestic Product which means they were EXPORTING THE FOOD and actually a huge amount of spices such as Safron. You could argue that they are just really really really bad at math but the result is the same, incompetence leading to drought.

A steam engine can also be used to generate power, or to operate mechanical indistrial equipment like rock crushers or pumps, as a stationary device, but in hindsight the tidal power probably never gets that hot. The engine for moving trains could also be powered by electricity from wind or tidal, though I don’t think there are any practical examples.

Damming rivers with runoffs into salt plains and salt desert, funneling water into agriculture for gdp, and making enemies in every direction was probably a really bad move, ngl.

If they hadn’t done any one particular thing in that list then things wouldn’t be so bad, now.

Heads up, desertification is spreading rapidly through that region due to climate change. It’s not going to rain well every year, mate.

I’m sorry but as a technicality none of the power used in a steam engine is derived from the dihydrogen monoxide. The chemical compound is used as a medium to turn thermal energy into kinetic energy. The thermal energy, likewise, is usually obtained from another source such as chemical, nuclear, or photovoltaic.

Got it, ty.

Even if the government remained in shutdown this would probably all still be happening. Dems have no power.

Who is saying what part about this is fine?
