I googled this,

“Generally, *holding a US work visa does not require special permission to leave and re-enter the country, as long as your visa and the period of stay authorized by US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) are valid“

So if you have a valid source for that I would be interested to see it. I won’t lie though even if you can produce anything it wont make me think of the US as anything but a shithole because that’s a shitty thing to have anyway.

That’s the US for you nowadays, basically uninviting, anti-freedom shithole.

Enough with that, it was the messaging that was the problem. Don’t try to say they predicted this when the Democrats own messaging caused this. /s

How do you cope with this much winning?

Lets work through this logic shall we. Lets say those companies setup production in the US, in the scenario where all required inputs are US based and produced then the only other determining factor for price increases would be wages. Do you think the end price would be cheaper or more expensive then what China can produce? In order to compete with China you have to have their level of wages in an economy that supports that low level of cost of living. Now lets see how scenario two plays out where at least some of the inputs still have to be imported, same result as before but just more costs to add onto the end product passed to the consumer.

This is a rather simplified outlook but I am curious if you can see what the dilemma would be those scenarios particularly for the US.

Authoritarianism in full display. No due process.

just in time with those new tarriffs as well…. You guys are winning so much.

Well we did have AusAid, just got renamed to DFAT (Department Foreign Affairs and Trade), which do provide assistance to foreign nations but our scope is limited and as far as I could see we were not really buying any excess agricultural production to send off. I have to look into it because maybe we don’t or all of ours is absorbed into the Asian markets. But was thinking due to the US BS could be a good opportunity to still help our farmers while doing some good at the same time. Bang for our buck, when I saw the USAID doing it for their farmers before it was cut I thought its a great program that provides benefits across the board.

Heya you are correct that the rest of the world is being dragged into it. The tarrifs for us (Australia) have a little silver lining though, our meat will be cheaper if what we exported to the US stays here and no alternative market is found so I am happy about that. The farmers will feel it but us Aussies are always happy to help bail the farmers out tbh, could be a good opportunity for us to create something similar to USAID and send some food where its needed. Who knows really, but its an opportunity for everyone except the US. So thanks for making every other nation (that was trading with the US) great again.

I want to point out that all those articles that were linked advising the US is in/entering/ or Trump main goal is to usher in a guided age is just quoting Trump saying that’s what he wants.

A vast distinction to what is actually happening, particularly with the Tarrifs.

I want to point out that just because wealth is being hoarded by a few industries does not mean this is not necessarily good for workers or the average citizens. Sure things got done but that’s because they do not have rights nor the education we have these days to understand that the average citizens deserves better.

If this is what the US ends up trying to go back to, then lol. Goodluck with that. If you want I can start sending across some gold panning equipment as I know a lot of people made their fortune looking for gold during that time period as well. Might be a steep price though because of the tarriffs.

I am actually getting worried about the leopards health, are there too many faces for them to eat? Do we need to ensure they stay healthy and in shape to better continue eating all the faces by restricting the amount of faces they can eat in day?

Crazy to think that US is only 248 years old. You had a good run.

Btw I will have to ask, but there has been alot of cutting this and that but has anyone heard about what they plan on spending all this “recouped” money on or we just know they are lining their pockets and the pockets of their friends?

No no, they love free speech when it allows them to use hate speech against others. They only hate free speech when others opinions disagrees with their own. That is the difference between left and right, left understand that free speech means we have to protect against hate speech, the right rails against censorship regarding hate speech as a vehicle against “oppression” so they can be the ones that can attack those that disagree with them with hate speech.

Not all of them. Islam has as one of its core tenets critical thinking. I tend to find the extremists of all religions to fail to reflect and admit wrong. I would agree the whole blind faith that alot of religions wrap their belief system with creates an environment that does not nurture critical thinking.

So I would argue that its not every religion nor everyone who believes in one of the religions.

I am an atheist btw I just have been interested in how religion or religions impacted critical thinking and have talked/ researched a few things.

Your both sides argument is evidence that you lack the critical thinking to see that what the current administration is doing is unprecedented. If you have evidence where left leaning parties have done the same on this scale then please show me the evidence.

Otherwise my suggestion for you is to take a look at where you are getting your source of information and ask yourself “Is this an opinion piece? is it backed by evidence?, is the evidence by a reputable source and stands the scrutiny of peers?, are the arguments against the evidence also supported by its own evidence and therefore logical conclusions can be drawn?.” Do these things and you will be better in this huge ecosystem of misinformation that we call today’s internet.

Edit: I will add one more thing, it’s okay to be wrong. So many on the right seem to wind themselves up into a pretzel just to make the facts somehow fit their twisted reality. All you need to do is accept you were wrong accept that fact, thank the person for educating you and move on.

Unless schools are involved of course.

Discovered this the other day and this article made me think of it again. Enjoy.

That and everyone wants in on that same group. Some juicy stuff in it.

Yeah they want museums to pay homage to past tragedies and not as a purpose to educate and learn from.
