Protective tariffs are as much applications of force as are blockading squadrons, and their object is the same—to prevent trade. The difference between the two is that blockading squadrons are a means whereby nations seek to prevent their enemies from trading; protective tariffs are a means whereby nations attempt to prevent their own people from trading. What protection teaches us, is to do to ourselves in time of peace what enemies seek to do to us in time of war.

Henry George

Ch. 6. - Protection or Free Trade? (1886)

Hey it's the racists that are into spatial segregation. It's important to them for some reason.

No place for temper tantrums. No place for dodging the public’s right to know.

Actually I'd love to read an American racist review HDB banning ethnic neighborhoods. Could see them going either way on it.

More plausible than Signal, the app for messages that delete themselves

I was definitely noticing the various cute and ugly cars while watching the movie even if I wasnt thinking about how the Nissan was big in Mexico. This and the fashion really came together for the storytelling.

TBF what you're talking about is mostly clearly talked about as welfare state transfers (Kindergeld) - the purpose is shifting money from workers to non-workers - and framing these as taxing childless or crediting parents are both goofy.

工an🎃Monroe👹 @eean.dev · 20h

Yeah that seems pretty common to me lol

The strategy is "you've voted for Pelosi for decades, but you're dissatisfied with Dems in Congress in 2025".

it's puzzling because Johnson isn't negotiating so what's the purpose of gaining leverage by punishing Federal employees, even if you accept that this makes sense somehow.

Mike Johnson furiously backpedaling on the back pay thing is a pretty good indication that nobody in the GOP has the slightest clue how to deal with the shutdown.

Jennifer Shutt @jennifershutt.bsky.social · 23h

Speaker Johnson appears to say furloughed federal workers should get back pay under 2019 law

"It has always been the case. It is tradition and I think it is statutory law that federal employees be paid. And that’s my position."

not really seeing that on his policy page. He actually calls for hiring 500 more cops in SF lol. So it's definitely different than previous challengers to Pelosi.
