I know Trump is dumb. I know his administration is dumb. I still can’t fathom that someone is this stupid. Does he really think all goods that are currently being imported will magically start being produced in the US, just because he puts import tax on them? I just can’t wrap my head around someone being so incredibly naive so he either must be

1. Actively trying to destroy the american economy, probably because Putin wants him to
2. There is some other plan that we just don’t see yet Or 3. He really is that stupid.

True. We had a pretty big storm here a couple of years ago and the next day the supermarket shelves were almost empty. We really don’t usually think about how fragile the supply chain is when it comes to a crisis.

Isn’t it a little weird that people think it’s ironic? Jesus hung out with prostitutes.

Francis better get them cheeks out

I don’t get it either. Is OP saying that christians can’t show their bare ass online? Because I don’t support that.

Holy shit what is up with the reddit mods? I posted a screenshot of a Mastodon post there yesterday, that basically said if youre switching us big tech for eu big tech you’re not doing enough and that we have to support decentralized tech.
