    On the one hand, these strikes have had a direct effect on the national debt, as the country wasn’t able to increase pension age or cut benefits. On the other hand, it might lead to the government taxing the wealthy more and stopping the endless asset hoarding by the rich, which prices out everyone else. If France taxes the rich, they might be able to persuade the rest of the European nations to do the same. Then it might become effective for once.

    Yes he’s dumb, but on the topic of tariffs he knows it will not bring blue collar jobs back to the US_, look at his own merch or the phone he is selling, all made in China. Secondly, he didn’t write Project 2025, there are smarter people than Trump pulling the strings, there is ulterior motive to push for these tariffs. I personally don’t really know what, other than wrecking the economy or maybe purposefully devaluating the dollar.




  • I know it’s probably not you. But I don’t understand how people can even step over 2. Who wants a president that lies more often than speaks the truth? Even if you think the lies are harmless, how would you ever trust such president? The reasoning doesn’t add up, because I don’t think reasoning was involved. Voting for far right is usually an emotional choice, not a logical one.
