  • Do you think these companies can just snap their fingers and suddenly start producing stuff locally?

    And even if they could, why would they? In three years another guy comes in the White House and the tariffs are gone. Also why would they produce locally when they could just raise prices and shift the expense to the consumers, maybe a bit more so they can even get a little extra.

    Also what are you gonna do about it? Get your toothpaste from a different company? Good one, they bought out all the others and the ones they didn’t buy out are just gonna rise prices too because they’re not gonna leave money on the table. Don’t you love unregulated capitalism?

    Cockroach is not the scientific name for them. It’s the common name. Most roaches are part of the Blattodea order together with termites. The common name came about in the early 17th century (as cacaroch ): from Spanish cucaracha . The spelling change was due to association with cock and roach.(according to Wikipedia).

    Depending on where you live there are different species of what is considered the common/house cockroach: The most common are: Blatella Germanica (German Cockroach), Periplaneta Americana (American Cockroach), Periplaneta Australasiae (Australian cockroach) and Blatta orientalis (Oriental Cockroach).





  • And he’s always been a liar. Man made up a fake persona to call in or write to make himself look better or to defend his actions, just look up John Barron.

    Now with his dementia the lies he makes are becoming nonsensical as his brain can’t keep his thoughts in check. I wouldn’t let my 80 year old grandpa to watch my dog for a few days but the US is letting a 80 year old run a world’s largest nuclear arsenal.

    Providing people with high standard of living lowers birth rates. It’s a well established effect, every single country with high standard of living has low birthrates. Providing people with sexual education and sexual health also lowers birth rates. Educated people that have easy access to birth control will have fewer children.

    Provide people with education and things they need and overpopulation is an issue that fixes itself.
