You were put where you were for a good purpose. Right on, Stereo. Keep carrying the Fire.
I think I'm an asshole, but it humbles me that I could have affected another person to that degree. I am blessed beyond what I deserve, but then again, it is not my place to judge my own worth.

Re: Chinese manufacturing.
It might be hard to believe, but Chinese prisons have factories.
How can any county compete with slave labor?

The last time I heard somewhat reliable numbers - this was the mid 90's or early 'naughties - about 10% of all Chinese production was prison labor.
This is why when Chinese made shit breaks, I say to everyone in earshot "What do Chinese political prisoners know about making X?"

In Neoliberal land, you're either an upjumped overpaid paperpusher or a nobody. It's not just Academia & Government that needs a good DOGE'ing.
"Sorry Chuck, we just don't need you to be a $140k/year email standards quality assurance engineer"
"But what will you do without my Kaizen certified Six Sigma Black Belt... I have an English Degree from Reed and an MBA from U Phoenix!? Who will make sure people aren't double spacing after periods? You don't know how much stakeholder value I protect here!"

No. That's just a screen shot of a marketing piece. Rates are lower than that. It's a risk free loan as the lender/brokerage can sell the stocks automatically and lose nothing while collecting interest. Or Schwab is just a bunch of Jews.
Like I've said I should have just kept the margin loan of $125/mo on $85k for the house forever. Reinvest the difference what the normal mortgage would have been. It was against over $600k of stocks so a margin call was basically impossible or a nuclear war broke out. Margin is way cheaper than what you posted. Just depends on the stock value.

But tax free dollars at 3-4%
Good to know, but rates are higher than you think:

Also, even if it's 12% that's cheaper than capital gains or regular income taxes. It's not that high for the wealthy either way. How do you think Musk, Gates and Bezos pay themselves? Against their stocks.

My wife and I visited Tokyo about 10 years ago. The most striking thing was the incredible number of small factories, really small, like the size of someone's garage. They all seemed family run. Maybe they make parts on spec for the automotive industry.

That's how Peloton guy lost $4M in fire sale of his house to cover margin call on his stonks.

Margin is not fixed. So whenever it was $125 on $85K (2020-ish?) it's sure as shit at least 3x now.

Everywhere, not just on PatNet. And the basic gist of it is:
1) The globalists and their Minions are crying Chicken Little because something for realz is happening that is bringing their means of ass raping us to an end or at least seriously limits it.
2) Part of that, they are pushing the same old bullshit 'free trade' narrative.
3) But NOBODY is buying it. Furthermore, even the least articulate/educated ppl even seem to catch some crap the globalist bullshitters post and use it to rip 'em a new one.
My X feed is filled with them. It is awesome to behold.
This one is a tad more on the sophisticated side than what I just described, but is my fav AND IS representive of what I just said:
4) We are even seeing what I call 'mini-manifestos' being posted by ppl -- myself included -- who had bought into the Globalist Bullshit now openly admitting that they were wrong and calling it what it actually is.
Example: https://patrick.net/comment?comment_id=2164721
5) I am seeing this from the Left. From the Right. From ppl I can't stand. From ppl I respect. From ppl I disagree with on certain things but agree on others. From ppl who I would normally wouldn't see on my feeds at all. From ppl not even on any feeds because they aren't online like me.
6) LIKEWISE, I see the bullshit response from ppl I either a) never heard of before or b) ppl I always knew were bought off - like Senator Grassley. The real stupid ones in my view are those like Bill Krystal who is jumping on this bandwagon simply because he hates Trump.
They are only shooting themselves on the foot.
I don't know for sure if the tariffs will work as advertised. I do believe, however, that they will work a lot better than the screaming globalists rant. In fact, I -- and all the aforementioned others -- see that they are actually in fear that they will actually work enough to fuck with their free trade scam.
This thread is to talk about that. The various other tariff dedicated threads have already started doing so. So maybe this is a little late.
But let's see..
