"It was a disaster, but We Fixed It because I'm your favorite."
For example?
Also please show that the major current on-going efforts, like ongoing negotiations, measures in the border etc, were worked upon as intensive as it is now, in the previous administration.
This term, he's claiming the deal is terrible and starting a trade war (which is likely not winnable and probably ends up settling for something approximating NAFTA again).
Which is it? Best deal ever, or crap? He's lying about one.
I agree that Trump sometimes exaggerate stuff, but that does not mean that there is nothing is there.
I think It is very dishonest to claim that all the current administration is doing is just continuing what the previous ones did, but with changed names.
A deal he himself signed.
Trump doesn't just exaggerate. Trump outright lies. Minute by minute.
USMCA
I don’t know why I even engaged. Haven’t had my coffee yet.
There is nothing public, just free money for the private sector.
This is also why Chinese netizens commonly refer to Trump as 川建國同志 (literally "Nation-Building Comrade Trump").
> Your CHIPS Act is a horrible, horrible thing. We give hundreds of billions of dollars and it doesn’t mean a thing. They take our money and they don’t spend it. All that meant to them. We’re giving them no money. All that was important to them was they didn’t want to pay the tariffs. So they came and they’re building. And many other companies are coming. We don’t have to give them money, we just want to protect our businesses and our people, and they will come because they won’t have to pay tariffs if they build in America. So it’s very amazing. You should get rid of the CHIPS Act and whatever’s left over, Mr. Speaker, you should use it to reduce debt or any other reason you want to.
You ever heard the thing about how if you throw a frog into a pot of boiling water it'll jump out but if you put it in cold water and slowly turn up the heat it'll cook? That's us. We are cooked.
you are dramatically oversimplifying and/or misrepresenting glaring omissions/errors/accomodations of jurisprudence over the last several years. i'm not going to debate you on it - you can read any number of opinions/analyses/exposes on it from educated/scholarly/authoritative people.
The frog is boiling. Dang will say to pipe down and stop screaming, while the frog cries out for its life, because some foolish boss types still persist in the delusion our house speaker persists in: thst they can ride this bucking bronco to work. They cannot. The bronco owns them. Lights out and noting this is considered partisan. What is more radical than harassing our friends and allies and uniting the world against us? But if you let out a peep, it's political. We are supposed to enjoy bowing and scraping to obey our overlords, and insufficient display of joy at being suffocated is now partisan.
It didn't need to be this way. TRUMP has already dismantled much of our republic and yet the articles posted here do not reflect this.
What part of "we are becoming the new nazi state entity" does ycombinator not understand?
that is the entire point of the metaphor/idiom/parable - you do not feel anything - until it's too late - you're dead or in jail or homeless or deported.
It's more like draining the water in the pot and pouring in already-boiling water, than it is like heating it up slowly.
By reading the headline
Many HN users don't read the articles. Some are even unapologetic about it, explicitly admitting that they're here only for the comments.
And often I learn more from the comments than I would from the article.
Some of us also have FT subscriptions though.
That'd be an interesting poll. What % of HN readers (poll participants) subscribe to the big paywalled story sources? NYT, FT, The Economist, ...
That said I like the CHIPS Act in principle. We should have real industrial policy.
I bought a 2024 Prius last year in Feb and didn't get my second key fob until this year, Feb, because of supply chain issues with microchips.
Now imagine an actual war where China takes Taiwan.
Having them all manufactured at the same place, a risk to national security. Having a single supplier, a risk to national security. Day of the week ending in y, a risk to national security.
