Tariffs and other other discussions.

I appreciate that you have an economics degree, and that this is standard practice globalist thinking.

Nonetheless, it has not worked out for the average person in North America, and our buying power is significantly worse today than 50 years ago, so obviously the theory has significant flaws. Compare what ( 1 hour at the US minimum wage ) - ( taxes and fees ) could purchase in past vs today - it isn't even half, so there has been zero benefit to these economic theories for the typical person.

It appears that you didn't understand what I was really saying.

The EU has it more right than we do. In many ways. Nordics consistently score as the happiest population on Earth. I tried to emigrate to Sweden when Bush II was re-coronated, but wasn't allowed, legally; had to a) have a guaranteed job which no Swede is qualified to do, or b) have a Swede parent or grandparent (greats don't count); or c) be rich, which I wasn't at the time. I also applied to Canada but there was a long waiting list. And I didn't want to just move to Europe and see what happens. So I moved to Washington.

Well sounds like that's the best place for you for now. Plenty of like minded people there for you.
 
When I checked with a supplier from China, they noted that there were discussions about tariffs but at that time the details were not known.

I suspect that in the future, this will be applied during the checkout process like other sites are doing. It will simply be the way things are done making things easier for shippers in the states when the product arrives. I suspect that the uncertainty discussed now will become a thing of the past once these processes are put in place, making this discussion a thing of the past.

That would make sense
 
Can you have it shipped to Canada and then collect it yourself.

Sometimes you can say that you bought something used in Canada and avoid tariffs.
Just saying its not honest but it could be done.
 
How do you get rid of the bird flu in a chicken population? There is no approved vaccine for chickens, yet.

Yes, now will you convince some of your brethren to get the heck out before we evict them?

And secede as New America™. Let you build as vicious a Thunderdome as you like. We will erect high walls to keep you out, when you realize what you've done. We will have a parliament, with several political parties to choose from, and when none get a majority they'll be forced to form a coalition with another party and be sweet to each other.

There would be some complications like with bonds, loans, and the unpayable federal debt you've built up (look it up), but we can always disavow. We are the engine of the economy and rightists are the anchor around our neck -- you've been convinced it's the other way 'round, haven't you? Ask yourself: Where are the engines? Cali, PacNW, Chicago, NY. Who takes from the federal govt more than they give, perennially? Tornado Alley. The Souf.

Ok fixed my certs now; systemd problem. I have to get back to my payroll taxes.

I might think that I somehow wandered off into some Facebook thread, but I'm not a member (with good reason).

Where are the moderators when you need them?... (especially given the reminder - in huge font - just above the list of posts on each page)

Can we please get back to, you know, solar-related stuff?
 
But I thought walls were racist. You terrible person you.
Imposed belief systems and cultural affectations aren't protected classes. We reserve the right to refuse service to anyone without shirt, shoes, teef, or pants.

BTW, nice catch that we are supposed to be enemies, so we take our eyes off of facts and Science and what is real. Off of commonalities, shared goals, and a sense of unity. One can give voice to the malevolent furies of this country...
But what if he IS the malevolent fury? What if everything he degrades, applies actually to him? Isn't this how it usually is, in your experience? Only time will tell if he is the AntiChrist, as half of us believe.


Thank (your) god, the annual payroll taxes are done. Now to my 8 other emergencies.

I guess I have to learn more about the Chit-Chat Zone. I got an email saying there are new posts in the thread. I clicked on the link, which took me to the new posts (in the middle of the page of posts). Having never been exposed to this "Chit-Chat Zone", I missed that (small) indication at the *top* of the page. Thanks for the info. Well, at least now I know to click on "Ignore Thread"...
 
Can anyone show me a study that proves deworming medication does anything?
For covid, no, for de-worming animals (including humans) it's effective (and cheap) I believe.

I don't mind people taking ivermectin for anything they want, even in doses that are way higher than what is considered safe as poisoning is rare. Link. I don't mind people not taking vaccines either. However I do not take ivermectin for covid and I do get a yearly covid shot at the same time as the flu shot because I believe my symptoms will be milder. My kids got al the vaccines the health department recommended, in part because I have more faith in doctors than some people here and because I do remember the effects of polio.

For those who don't trust mainstream medicine, I offer you my thoughts and prayers.
