If you’ve got no idea then why argue?

There isn’t a competition in the market between Malaysian washing machines vs Chinese washing machines, in reality the tariffs will affect Chinese goods mainly, and any industry will raise prices to pocket the difference as we saw in the above example. It was more than just a single appliance that raised the prices.

Netanyahu truly doesn’t care about them, which is why he’s refusing deals that return all the hostages in exchange for a few weeks of ceasefire then permission to resume bombing.

If that were a valid explanation then why is the bill banning any adult recognition of trans adults?

There’s a different conversation on whether to allow gender affirming therapy for minors.

Just waiting for him to overdose on the ketamine he’s so fond of.

Correct. Trump’s 2017 tariffs raised the price of foreign made dishwashers by 20%. American manufacturers also jacked up the cost of their appliances, in order to match that price that customers were paying for the other brands, pocketing the difference.

We tried this in 2017. Trump put tariffs on dishwashers, and American companies just raised their prices to match, pocketing the difference.

This was tried under Trump the first time and it was an abject failure.

Trump’s tariffs raised the price of foreign made dishwashers by 20%. American manufacturers also jacked up the cost of their appliances, in order to match that price that customers were paying. As a result there was no incentive to change consumer behavior and there was no boost in “buying American.”

No that’s just you putting your opinion and spin on it. You and Trump would prefer that they teach “slavery wasn’t so bad” or that it’s overblown? Nowhere does anyone teach that slavery is the primary part of American history.

Read the article, it talks about “slavery” and not the examples I gave above.

What country was Sinwar found in again? A spokesman or negotiator in Qatar is not the same as the leadership. Try again.

He spoke about how the 1776 project to be mandatory in schools and any schools that teach 1619 project or critical race theory to be defunded and sanctioned. Those are just examples and evidence.

Edit: But here’s a more recent article talking about banning teaching about slavery itself https://www.yahoo.com/news/trump-threatens-defund-schools-teach-155006275.html

That’s not what I said, I said that it’s propaganda to pretend Hamas’ leaders are not in Gaza.
