But somehow we are convinced that making the world more expensive and less efficient is good because the UAW is in favor what is happening.
What I've learned since 2016 is just how malleable even smart people are and how susceptible they are to talking points and group association.

I don’t even talk politics anymore in real life with people. Social media has been a scourge on the intellectual ability of so many I know.

I get that politicians can be persuasive, people change, whatever. I get thinking that tariffs will protect us and we'll have Mayberry again. I disagree but I get it.
What I don't get are the basic logical contradictions. Tariffs can protect industry by raising prices, no question. But people will argue in the next sentence that prices won't go up because the importer will eat them. Ask them how that helps protect American workers and they either never respond, they respond with a complete non sequitur or you get some version of "well, it just does".

They will then double down by saying the tariffs will bring jobs back without raising prices for consumers

Or they just shift the goal to "fair trade!" and ignore the "bring jobs back" goal.

So Ford and GM stock must have really gotten a boost this week, right?
If this guy is involved in a profit sharing stock plan, I'd be curious to know what his stock has done this week. Because American auto company stocks have been in the shitter as well. Ford stock is down about 10% the last two days.

I didn't hear him claiming to be an expert. He was stating his opinion, just as you are.
Please, tell us what he said that wasn't accurate??

I'll put it in simpler terms: the productivity of the jobs isn't worth the salary.
Make sense now?

You don't have to be an expert on the economy to see the crying about all this is bullshite, for the EXACT reasons he brought up. F@ggot.

And that is exactly why unions will be the next leftist idea that rightist populists will embrace.

Pro union? Because we agreed with a few statements made by a UAW guy? Because nothing he said was false. What were we supposed to disagree with, or are we supposed to prove ourselves as "true conservatives," and shite on what he said, even when true, because he's an UAW member?

Remember when Roger was crying about park rangers being laid off a few weeks ago?

Youre entire union stance is a union grift.
