Without knowing the numbers, I'm fairly sure Facebook is dying, and they are trying to reverse that.

"Super duper" pardons, for anything that is not covered by a current pardon that grants the receiver three more pardons to use on themselves at a time of their choosing in the future.
If country A engages in "dumping" (funded by the government) then country B will not produce those items at a profit, and so they will not produce it.
If there is consumer demand for the widget, and tariffs are applied to prevent dumping, then country B will begin producing that widget for profit, assuming free markets exist.

I understand the argument against tariffs, and I agree in the vacuum of economic theory, but the reality is that tariffs are used as a tool and a weapon by every country, and I find it naive at best to expect the United States to abstain while everyone else maximizes tariffs to their advantage.
Imagine trying to mastermind a victory over a superpower while your army lacks provisions, and having to take time out of your day to deal with Thomas Hickey smh
How can a Libertarian assert that companies should not organize however they want (corporation)?
Sometimes people use their right to free speech to share opinions and ideas that are not allowed.
An interesting insight into this is the guy who sold Minecraft or whatever millions or billions has gone on to talk about how meaningless endless wrath is now that he has it.

There is an effect in video games where "god mode" causes players to lose interest in the game.
It's fun at first, bit ultimately it removes the sense of meaning from the game.
The mystery is gone.
Same goes for much of modern life, and this underlies much of the mental health crisis.
Humans need mystery and challenge and goals and community and growth and trials.
Everything is on demand. Everything is instant, and all encompassing. Welcome to the Internet.

There's a lot to unpack here..
> all I really know is you don't like the Dems and you lump in all of legacy media in with them
Yeah.
> this H1B shit (Trump properties use them) demonstrates there's massive confusion/disagreement over what "those who didn't want to vote for Harris" want
Don't think this is true. It is just another example of the elites not caring about Americans, but this time they are on the other side of the uniparty.
> free market folks used to be opposed to all borders and regulating shit like red dye in our food.
Libertarians, yes. This is a good example of where you have to balance ideology with reality.
Underlying the best concept of "free markets" is Justice. It is a fair playing field. It's a meritocracy.
Open borders is just handing the trophy to the oligarchs. Nothing fair about it, and no Justice in that.
This is a fundamental failing of Libertarianism.
> free speech should mean letting big pharma run ads.
"Free speech" is preventing the government from meddling in the exchange of ideas (sending and receiving).
We can have enough nuance as adults to understand the difference between that, and spending millions to push drugs that will make your eyes bleed and limbs detach as side effects, pushed by multinational corporations.
That is not "free speech."
> one could think dominating the world militarily would make America greater.
What is "America" in this statement? Certainly not a family in a small town in Nebraska.

Only solution is to give them full control of all personal vehicles.

Eventually it stops mattering. At -31 it's -24, by -40 it's -40 and you can feel the reaper's blade on your neck no matter where you go or what you do.
