I respectfully disagree. there was no real, tangible results for most working class adults. Inflation was still terrible and there seemed to be no relief from it. not many real progressive measures were enacted that people actually wanted or noticed. industries all around were still slowly shutting down and quite a few factory towns suffered badly during their term. they could have done something about it proactively, but chose to brush it under the rug. it’s awful, and I didn’t want this outcome but you gotta understand that most people want cheaper stuff and not be jobless.

it really goes to show how far people will go if they think their livelihood is at risk. they’d go as far as electing a Nazi. crazy isn’t it?

At least they’re trying. Education is power.

and buy your electronics now while its still cheaper.

coincidence? hell no!

“max users planing on switching to piracy” is a better headline.

that’s a very bold assumption. we’d be very lucky to have another election at all.

they better flee if they haven’t already. we’re the new Russia!

they had every right to be frustrated with how things are, but this will not fix anything and they will find out very quickly. its a shame.

Hey, exactly! The fact that we are even allowing this nonsense is a true testimony to how extremely important education is! If you remain ignorant, you are more easily persuaded to believe anything because you aren’t taught what “bullshit” is, and have no real ability to think for yourself.

Education is freedom from ignorance.

lol “peace deal”

yep! and by then it’s too late. they’ve already shot themselves in the foot, they just haven’t felt the pain yet.

edit - and honestly, if we were actually producing all this stuff locally and competitively, I would be OK with these chinese tariffs since it would encourage buying USA-made. The problem is that we arent, and probably won’t be for a while. we’d all suffer in the meantime.

I’m jealous!

they better hurry up

yes

holy shit…

so what happens now? they passed, sure, but pretty much everything is going against it, and I don’t see it lasting long.

that didn’t take long, at all. wasn’t it introduced, like, a few days ago?

yeah, I really hate seeing these types of articles during elections. some will skim past it and go “well, its cool. I don’t need to vote, she got it” and that kind of lazyness is how elections are lost.

was she checking you out, too?

the place is infested with bots, and that’s probably “winning” to them.
