Why not just take the 15? It's so much shorter, and you have a couple guns to protect yourself in case anything pops up, right?

Right?

Mine said I was 0.2% Mongolian so now I endearingly tell stories of my Grandpa Khan.

Even if that was the case, the conservatives' counter argument never addresses why the association with facism, white supremacy, Nazism would supposedly be false. It's always a knee-jerk "actually you guys are bad." Not doing much to counter the association.

Even better: pirate it, and whatever it would have cost, donate that amount to an LGBTQ+ charity.

Every time I see "slam" in a headline, I always imagine a WWE-style body slam. Never have I wanted that to actually be the case than right now.

Even goods that aren't directly tariffed are still affected by tariffs. If you planned to buy a new washing machine, but now they're too expensive because of a tarrif, then maybe you buy a microwave instead.

What? If I need a new washing machine, I'm either buying a new washing machine or doing laundry in the bathtub. I'm not going to decide to buy a second microwave for clothes when the microwave i already have is perfectly functional...for food.

The type of market you're describing, where the buyer and the seller both have a say in determining prices, only happens in small, locally focused markets. The type of market that's being undercut and eventually replaced outright by Wal-Mart and other big box corporate stores (with our tax dollars,by the way!) that absolutely don't give a fuck what the buyer wants to pay, because they have enough people that are complacent, desperate, fatigued, or out-of-touch enough to pay whatever they charge. If they can point to something tangible as an external cause of higher prices, they'll absolutely do it. We saw it happen with COVID, wage increases, tax proposals, and all sorts of other shit.

A "free market" that doesn't include freedom for the consumer isn't a free market at all.

The point of the jungle is that it sticks around after you leave, lingering in your subconscious, always on standby for the next time you need some landscaping tools at a fraction of the price of those other guys.
