I briefly saw this meme on my dad's phone while he was browsing facebook. He's a right wing Trump voter.

So take from that what you will.

Yeah. It's gonna be a shit show.

Nobody will step up, because manufacturing electronics like this is incredibly expensive, and any new president in 2028 could instantly drop Trump's dumb ass tariffs.

So you'd be going into an expensive, already risky business, with an even bigger risk that one day the competition suddenly drops their prices by ~40% due to a drop in tariffs. Nobody's gonna take that risk.

And even if somebody successfully did take on that risk, they'd charge just under the price of the electronics that have the tariffs baked into the price, so congrats, no matter what we'd esentially be paying a ~40% markup on electronics, and that's before accounting for all the businesses that raise prices even further than the tariffs to account for the drop in demand, and supply chain halt.

Probably because the boy scouts no longer fits their narrative of "women bad".

It would take more than a couple. Trump is terrible on his own, but he isn't the sole problem, he's largely just a symptom of the bigger problem.

I wonder what universalmonk is doing now. Probably spending their big fat new commission/check.

He of all people has earned a retirement, but I'm still thankful that he'll be around to add a voice of sanity.

Nah, it would have just kicked the can down the road, leading to accusations that promises mean nothing. UltraGiGaGigantic@lemmy.ml is already doing so a post or two below you.

But yeah, she should have said that from the start.

It wouldn’t be this close if Harris just came out against the genocide in Gaza

It'd be worse. Do you have any idea how much damage AIPAC would do? The majority of americans are siding with Israel. She'd get called a terrorist simp before she even finished her speech. It would be an unmitigated shit show.

I wish the american public was wiser, and recognizing how evil Israel is. But that's not the world we live in.

The bounty itself reads that any person besides local and state government officials may sue a trans person using the restroom that aligns with their gender, with payments including “injunctive relief sufficient to prevent the defendant from violating the provisions of this ordinance; nominal and compensatory damages if the plaintiff has suffered injury or harm from the defendant’s conduct; statutory damages in an amount of not less than $10,000 for each violation of this ordinance; and court costs and reasonable attorney’s fees.”

As with the abortion bans, the """criminal""" themselves has to pay.

Yes and no.

As with most things related to the U.S. government, it is complicated, bullshit, and hypocritical.

Because the U.S. is a failed democracy. It labels places like Puerto Rico as a territory.
