They already tried “made in America” Apple products and they did not sell! Americans don’t want to pay $5K for an iPhone when they can pay 80% less for one made in China.

What do you think an effect of that $5M gold card is going to be? Good luck continuing to compete with institutional investors and ultra wealthy.
rockhard@lemm.eeto politics @lemmy.world•Rand Paul Fears Trump Tariffs Could Mean 1930s-Style Republican Wipeout: ‘We Lost the House and Senate for 60 Years’English3·4 months agoIt’s nothing but talk for these AHs and trying to save face. Besides it’s not like if DJT is removed that we’d fair any better. We’d have couch fucker to contend with and he’s just as bad.
He rejected the plea deal. Taking a plea deal means you forgo trial. Granted actual mass murderers received lesser sentences like LWOP.
By requesting the DP they are essentially going to try to find a jury that is as pro DP as possible.
The state my dick was in.
rockhard@lemm.eeto politics @lemmy.world•Sanders and AOC tell packed arena Trump is ‘screwing over’ working classEnglish91·4 months agoThat is because both GOP and DEM are corporatist parties. They will not cater to working class people because those people aren’t the ones throwing the most money at them. Left wing populism is nothing more than a tankie wet dream since citizens united.
He does think everyone is stupid. You should read the article his first wife wrote about him years ago. He called himself an Alpha among other cringey things during their wedding reception. EM has a superiority complex and bitches about weaponized empathy while weaponizing empathy by claiming to be a victim and, and his father allegedly put it, “retarded”.
rockhard@lemm.eeto politics @lemmy.world•Trump gave ‘green light’ to Israel before Gaza bombing that left ‘400 dead,’ report saysEnglish21·4 months agoYou didn’t predict anything. But it’s clear only one of us is angry. Enjoy the rest of your day.
rockhard@lemm.eeto politics @lemmy.world•Trump gave ‘green light’ to Israel before Gaza bombing that left ‘400 dead,’ report saysEnglish21·4 months agoThe fact that you couldn’t see that Trump would be inarguably worse and/or didn’t care is why Palestine is going to wiped off the map and be but a footnote in history.
rockhard@lemm.eeto politics @lemmy.world•Trump gave ‘green light’ to Israel before Gaza bombing that left ‘400 dead,’ report saysEnglish32·4 months agoWhen people were actively arguing that Dems would be worse than Trump on Gaza they were either stupid or accelerationists. Especially considering these are self proclaimed “leftists” who apparently think Trump will usher in a tankie uprising. Not them of course, social media is full on revolutionary activism so they won’t be doing anything.
rockhard@lemm.eeto [moved to piefed] movies@lemm.ee•Online Wars Aside, 'Snow White' Simply Isn't Getting Moviegoers to Buy InEnglish8·4 months agoI mostly agree though I didn’t really like Beauty and the Beast enough to watch it more than once. I think Cinderella was the better of the live action remakes that they’ve made. I also didn’t see the appeal of the LA Jungle Book.
rockhard@lemm.eeto News@lemmy.world•There It Is: RFK Jr. Suggests Best Strategy For Combatting Measles Is For Everyone To Get ItEnglish1·5 months agoYes, it was a big thing with public health officials and doctors saying that measles were not like chickenpox but that’s how people in Marin were treating it.
Article from 2015 that was updated in 2018.

rockhard@lemm.eeto politics @lemmy.world•Trump gave ‘green light’ to Israel before Gaza bombing that left ‘400 dead,’ report saysEnglish118·5 months agoI had conversations with many an accelerationist who supported Trump over Harris on Gaza. Pretty sure they were just full of shit and spreading misinformation.
rockhard@lemm.eeto News@lemmy.world•There It Is: RFK Jr. Suggests Best Strategy For Combatting Measles Is For Everyone To Get ItEnglish19·5 months agoIf I’m not mistaken parts of the SF Bay Area had measles parties like 10-15 years ago when the anti-vaxx thing was really becoming trendy. Parents would take their kids to try to get them infected. It’s as stupid today as it was before. Fuck these people.
rockhard@lemm.eeto Cyberstuck@lemmy.ca•The Swastidumpster is a Modern Engineering MarvelEnglish9·5 months agoI want to scream now that you just reminded me of that. Saw an interview with GOP politician in some red tornado state complain about how they got rid of NOAA and imploring the admin to bring it back because they provide a vital service. Didn’t have that on my bingo card.
rockhard@lemm.eeto politics @lemmy.world•MAGA pol who introduced bill on ‘Trump Derangement Syndrome’ arrestedEnglish8·5 months agoThat’s why you have to keep asking them questions. Antifa did it? Why’d they get pardoned by Trump? They’ll usually disengage or start hurling insults.
rockhard@lemm.eeto politics @lemmy.world•MAGA pol who introduced bill on ‘Trump Derangement Syndrome’ arrestedEnglish7·5 months agoProbably a combination of factors. Consider that pedophilia and sexual predation are anti-social behaviors and that people who enter into higher/high level politics or business have anti-social tendencies as well. You can’t run a district, company, city, state, country, etc. that require you to sacrifice for the imperatives you’re seeking. You can’t get bogged down by caring for people. You see them as a means to an end. Objects with utility.
Well that sucks but they sure as hell won’t be able to buy one “made in America” either. The raw materials for batteries alone would have tariffs on them as well. Unless we have massive amounts of cobalt, lithium, copper, silicon, cadmium, etc, to be able to produce these items domestically, working class and middle class Americans will not be able to afford them.
