The US political system is not other countries. How come people on this site are all about understanding systems except when that system stands in their way? How come so many people are experts on US politics and the political landscape therein without having studied it literally ever in their life? It's honestly getting to be infuriating how little yall know and how far you think that knowledge seems to extend.

People can't afford Ford anymore

Reality, in which the ford f series is the most sold vehicle for the past 42 years

Pick one

Ford is moving its prices upwards because people want and pay for what they're offering, very clearly given the statistics we have. Also to say that tesla is the brand regular people can afford when both brands have ev trucks and one has a starting msrp almost 30k more than the other is kinda hilarious.

Lastly, ford has a vehicle with an msrp of 23,920 while the lowest priced tesla vehicle is 38,890 dollars. Even taking gas savings over 5 years into account, ($4,223 if you happen to live near my area and drive about 10k miles per year) the tesla is significantly more expensive. Clearly, tesla is not the company concerned with the common man. To make that point even more clear though, one needs only to compare tesla to the Korean and Chinese EVs that are being offered at significantly lower prices.

Why? This has literally always been the case, but now they're going into it actively telling you that this is the case. Seems like a step in the right direction to me.

Twitter now is what 4chan was then in many ways. This should be disconcerting in the least.

Usually people use USSS for this reason

You mean the game devs that they take 30% from in a contract the devs agree to in order to list their game on the largest PC gaming store?

Besides that, steam has an incredibly low financial requirement to start selling your games on their platform. $100 usd per game (at least in the US) and you get it back if your game sells enough copies (100 maybe? I forget tbh.) It's a great platform for indie devs which is why we've seen indie PC gaming boom so much in the past decade or so especially.

Cause the middle school one is the quadratic formula. You use it to factor 2nd degree polynomials. You don't solve for a, b, and c, you just plug them in.

If Kendrick was using this to pump his record sales up he'd probably be releasing a record to boost. He's just schooling a clown that danced on Pac's grave and as you say, it's already public knowledge. Not every fucking diss track has to be Story of Adidon level lmao.

Trumps tariffs were intended to spark growth in domestic manufacturing, not Mexican manufacturing. Not to mention the fact that he also absolutely fucked over a huge portion of Midwest farmers with that choice also can't possibly be seen as "good".

There's this thing known as inertia. If Biden were to reverse the Trump administration tariffs, China doesn't have any reason to remove their tariffs on the US (which were made in response to Trumps tariffs) but would still benefit, especially with the huge rise of tensions between the US and China over Taiwan.

The only reason the tariffs are still in effect is that it wouldn't do anything good for the US to repeal or to have repealed them, not because they were a good idea.

Also consider the fact that north Korea is roughly the size of Maine and Japan is roughly the size of the east coast.

There's a difference between attacking unarmed civilians at a music festival and war. The terrorists should always be condemned, and you're painting with far too broad of a brush here.

There's a difference between freedom fighters and murderers.
