Why does he care that China is making money selling us stuff "we don't need"? Talk about big government, @LuFins-Dad !
-
Honestly, I would LOVE IT if our kids had 2 toys instead of 30, especially if the 2 toys were better quality. Maybe I agree with Trump!

I’m old enough to remember when degrowth was a fringe movement on the left. But at least we’re at three or four dolls, up from 2.
This is a bit much coming from a guy who's lived his entire life as avariciously as he has.
How many gold fucking toilets does one man need?
None, of course.

In fairness I agree 250 pencils is excessive. The silver lining of his tariff policies is that we should be able to put the scourge of little girls hoarding pencils behind us once and for all.

I was walking my dog yesterday through the park and I saw a young girl with an armload of pencils, frolicking and whatnot. I was disgusted. I walked up to the mother and gave her a very stern talking to about the manner in which she is raising her daughter.

I foresee a huge black market opening up in middle schools across the land, and unwitting mules crossing the Mexican border unexpectedly dying of lead poisoning when their internalized pencil cases spring a leak.
This. THIS is Donald Trump's America.

I haven’t seen that. Foreign made movies usually end up in art house theaters where hundreds of people see them. Man we’ll be raking in the bucks.

BBC reports 100% tariffs on foreign made movies- as per National Security concerns.
USA, you have a big problem.

God help us if another Studio Ghibli hit sweeps the nation. To say nothing about the next Wallace and Gromit feature film.
