Also, what is with judges blocking shit, other judges unblocking it, how does that work? No need for a detailed wall of text, just some short explanation will do.

He's managed to greatly increase taxes (tariffs) without inducing a revolution while at the same time convincing people higher taxes and more regulations are good for business... evil genius.
That's one way to look at it. A view I don't share, personally. If it's a tax, it's a very specific one...it's a tax on companies using foreign labor, aka not hiring us Americans. Not saying everything about the implementation is good, but that's the type of tax I can get behind in theory...one of the few, at that.
Eh. Fuck "business." Business is good not as a universal rule or given, but because it benefits the people of the nation. If "business" is just paying foreign countries to use their slaves to produce cheap shit, miss me with that.
As for regulations, I view it more as balancing it out a bit. A bit part of the issue is that we in the US are burdened with a shit ton of regulations...but also don't have a balancing aspect to address that a bunch of other countries don't have those regulations...which actually encourages companies to not hire Americans.
I agree that deregulation would be better, but to act like it's "regulation" to try to combat the imbalance in regulation versus in some cases actual slavery is silly.
Not all regulation is inherently bad, and "regulations" to address the imbalance caused by other regulations is just sensible. Again, I think a rollback would be better, but if we are going to have regulations...we actually need these new regulations, and it's utterly fucking insane (and
borderlinetreason) that we didn't already have them. Americans shouldn't be getting outcompeted by foreign slavers, and the fact that we are comes down to bad law.The status quo was a system of regulations that punished people for hiring Americans. That's an abomination, and it needs to be addressed.
Item costs more to buy in US than else where. Extra cost goes to US government. US consumer pays extra. It's a tax that people don't believe is a tax because they get emotionally stuck on some moral high horse believing they are patriots doing their duty stickin' it to the current enemies by paying more for everything. Meanwhile stuff costs more because of "not a tax" that goes to "not the govt". Next time you buy something, ask yourself did i just pay a tariff? "Made in china". Yes you did, but it's not a tax. No sir. It's a patriot fee.
Stop buying funkpops, dipshit. Problem solved.
