re: Trump pauses quota tariff on 300,000 tons of beef

Tariffs raised prices on import beef, domestic beef suppliers raised their prices to increase profit bc they’ve been hurting. Australian beef and others already shifted supply to China because of the tariffs. American Consumers get effed.
Just imagine the shiitestorm we would be in right now if he had kept all of his Liberation Day tarrifs.

Said here many times, but if Rs don't get the lead out of their asses and do something about the increasing cost of health insurance, we WILL have a single payer system within 5 years.
Businesses are being squeezed by the annual increases for insurance. My company just got our renewal rate proposal with "only" an 8% increase. Of course that included increases in deductibles and max OOP expenses.
We are at the point where it is unsustainable and ridiculous. Many of my fellow business owners have moved from the "this is a pain in the arse" stage to bring on single payer so I can simply offload this expense.

we cannot "grow" our way out of this mess. Now we can put a little lipstick on the pig by growing our economy and thereby reducing our debt to gdp ratio, which will provide some breathing room.
Americans are simply going to have to come to grips with the fact that our government entitlements, even though they were well-intentioned at the time, need to be scrapped and re-built for a modern world.
re: Very embarrassing look for Yale to put their name on this “Medicare for all” study
Posted by Ten Bears on 8/18/26 at 5:20 am to HailHailtoMichigan!
Well, you can have all of the studies you want, but unless Rs get off their asses and do something about the rising cost of insurance, Medicare for all will be a thing within 5 years.
I know many business owners, myself included who are sick and tired of health insurance being their largest overhead expense that never stops growing. They are tired of paying the majority of these premiums for Shiite insurance while watching billion dollar hospitals spring up everywhere.
Yeah so it’s coming, whether we like it or not.

If anyone thinks Andrew Wilson won or did anything but stooge for TPUSA (he went to a debate training there ) , they’re being delusional. I’ve held the objective personal opinion that there were many weird happenings around the days after and the investigation and the images etc., but I don’t actively watch Candace. Andrew came off as condescending, desperate and unknowledgeable about the case. He went to nail a few talking points and try to get her to make bold claims. Just another horrible PR moves by TPUSA. Funny how when the talent is killed, the void can’t be filled by shells of the conservative movement like Shapiro, Wilson and Alex stein. Oh and Babylon Bee. Yikes.
So you really believe that there were French Foreign Legion assassins the crowd that day? Do you think CKs murder was a global conspiracy between the FBI, CIA, Mossad, Israel, Egypt, France, the Orem Police Dept, Utah Dept of Public health, Utah Valet Ukiv admin, Erika Kirk, TPUSA and several others?
Because if you think Candace “won”, you have to accept that as not only plausible, but highly probable because Candace wasn’t simply confining her argument to “TR didn’t do it.” She was arguing not only did TR not do it but all these other entities are involved.
So when AW asked her if the French Foreign Legion was involved, and COs response was Yes, the debate was fricking OVER.

According to Arkansas Code § 25-1-503, the state cannot maintain a contract with a company actively engaging in a boycott.
Once that written notification is received, the agency must take immediate action.
Immediate Next Steps for the Contracting Agency
Contract Termination: The state agency will initiate formal procedures to terminate the agreement because the contractor is no longer compliant with mandatory state procurement laws.
Except none of that is in the law. Here is a link to the actual text of the law:

Again, I am not advocating that this is a good or bad thing. I am simply saying that the rhetoric in the OP is disingenuous. Personally, I can see some merits in it but it's also a slippery slope politicizing government contracts. HOWEVER, i tend to think this has more to do with Arkansas (and other states) Pension fund investments, rather than Billy Joe Bob, Inc kissing the wailing wall in Little Rock. That is why the firearm, ammo, fossil fuel stuff was added as well.

Though I think those are all silly requirements, all of those industries benefit Americans and people of Arkansas
While I agree with you, I am sure someone could make a legitimate argument in the other direction.
quote:
You still fail to say how specifying loyalty to one specific country benefits the people of Arkansas and is in their best interest when deciding where their tax dollars are spent.
You fail to make the argument that Arkansas requires this loyalty to a specific country to be awarded a state contract. It clearly doesn't. All it says is the contractor/supplier does not boycott Israel, but if it does, it must notify the public contracting agency.
Sorry, but that is a far far cry from pledging allegiance to Israel.
quote:
It's not a requirement to get the contract
Thank you for confirming my position.
quote:
What does that have to do with how taxpayer-funded contracts are awarded in Arkansas?
Probably about the same as the language that Arkansas requires regarding the boycott of the fossil fuel industry, firearms, or ammunition industry
quote:
Arkansas apparently determines how tax payer money is spent based on their citizens loyalty to a foreign state.
How so? Please explain, where the above, explicitly states that loyalty to a foreign country is a requirement to get a state contract. Use your words.
quote:
I wonder why they don't say don't boycott Canada or Argentina or something?
hmm...just spit balling..maybe, just maybe there isn't some leftist political movement to divest and boycott Canada or Argentina because of the "Free, Free Palestine" crowd.
I read it and calling this a “Pledge of Allegiance to Israel” is disingenuous AF.
