Unlike right fantasies of yours, it would be a hell of a lot better. We wouldn't be fighting a multi front trade war, along with the reich wing invasion of America using the new brownshirts. But for far right people like you, you are fine with this, after all, you will be the new lords or plantation owners. Just hope you aren't first against the wall.

Instead, you will get even LESS brick and mortar as people stop buying altogether. If they can't afford it with tariffs, they absolutely can't afford it local either. Especially once more businesses close, being unable to sell stuff. Brick and Mortar aren't coming back, mall are dying for a reason. You want brick and mortar back? First, slash all American wages by 50%. Then, demands all commercial property gets slashed 50% in value. And then, on top of that, let cities know their workers will also have their pay slashed 50-70%.

Sadly, I think the credit card merchant agreements explicitly forbid just that.

So under the new rule, any service that tries to use the API to collect information will be charged, and the cost passed along. Great, wonderful. Just going to make doing a number of financial things more annoying. Just got done going through mortgage applications, and many of the loan companies did this, allowed you to link to your accounts to collect the info needed for disclosure. It was a lot cleaner this way, instead of me hunting down and downloading statements and uploading them, and having to keep up and keep doing it through the process. Guess that integration is either going away, or the cost will be baked into the loan origination fees.

Simple, Nvidia CEO thinks it is a good idea, and thinks the ban is foolish, and managed to get Trump's attention with a well placed bribe... I mean dinner and chat. Trump is that pliable. Whoever is in the room last wins. Same reason Trump is now turning on Russia, because the Russian assets are now being edged out, largely because they got in the way for the Iran stuff.

Welcome to your free market, deregulated, downsized federal government that libertarian types like you have been screaming for decades. You wanted all the progressive stuff removed, all the regulations gone. You forgot the history of such things, it paves the way to this kind of corruption. This is how business is done in countries without rule of law, like Russia, China, and now the US. You either try to hide from the sight of the Furher and his minions or you pay them off. And in both cases, you still lose. Enjoy your neofeudalism, and your new status as a peasant.

The lower cost part won't matter, because this bill, along with the Trump regime trade policy, will make then VASTLY more expensive. Based on the tariffs going up, and this bill, Trump has functionally killed all solar and wind installation in America. Unless he drops tariffs from China to zero, expect solar installation rate in America to drop to near zero in the next 2 years.

And also speaking of the cost, this bill directly subsidizes all other forms of power, especially coal. So hard to compete when the government has selected their winners, fascist style.

You sound like my director at work. That's not a good thing.

Well, not everywhere is as backwards as the US is. China is trying pretty hard, and parts of the US are, but other more privative conservatives are of course trying to undo the effort.

Ahh yes, the school of quacks who think gold is a solid currency :)

Also the school of quacks who think supply side is the only solution.

I mean, some Austrians have contributed some, but today, they are just quacks looking to fulfill their corporate masters desires. They basically are nicely paid lap dogs and serfs themselves. They wouldn't bat an eye at mass murder if the price was right and it was economically efficient, as long as it is private interests carrying out the carnage, since free market knows all.

Ahh, found the paranoid Reich winger. Here's the difference, Democrats actually tend to follow the law and ask for approval. Reich wingers just rape, steal, defraud, extort, and murder and think it is A Ok, because they are (R)ight. I hope they succeed in unifying the databases, and then a Democrat uses its to destroy every Republican. I say we crosslink and magically make every Medicaid, Medicare and SS payment to Republican voters... have... delays/issues. Make sure to validate every loan, every grant to only those are civilized and not reich wing trash. I hope they flat out KILL every Reich wing state, we should turn them into satrapies that exist to fund blue state research, and we should grant researchers vast lavish spending to compensate for the Reich wing failures of these 4 years. Put all the money in escrow so it isn't subject to the whims of any government. Also we should fix the government pay scale, use this info to hire everyone back at 3 to 5 times the pay, and fuck American enterprise, they should've voted better, they deserve to be destroyed.

Technically... 2nd Amendment, round up and execute the entire admin, and let succession do its magic, with a reminder that any Republican that ends up in the Whitehouse will join them in the grave.

You mean the BS because it contradicts Reich wing view points, or involves something more then looking at what can make money in the next quarter?

You Reich wingers really are just that clueless? You really don't understand how RESEARCH works. Explains why applied areas are all Reich wing dominated, they want a black and white, yes and no answer RIGHT NOW, without any idea how shit can work. You guys would've defunded Einstein, Fermi and the like because all that "relativity" and "quantum mechanics" was BS.

Except one not so minor problem... there is no alternative. Or to be more direct, one of the following is true

1. There quite literally is no alternative what so ever
2. The alternatives are in other countries, none exists in the US
3. If there is a US version, tariffs would have be around 1000% or more to make it cost effective to do it in the US
4. The US alternatives are more expensive and shittier, so the solution is to simply not buy at all and let small businesses go bankrupt.

So good luck. Amazon will ignore your stupidity and just list the tariff prices because that's far easier then spending several trillion to replicate what the Chinese have built over 2 decades with millions of people and specialists.

Maybe because all of those were voted on democratically, by both conservatives and liberals. Whereas the tariffs were established by fiat using ChatGPT generated numbers at first, then just jacked up to appease one man's ego along with his 2 deranged economic advisers (well... 2 advisers and one of their imaginary friends, Ron Varra)

I think it was, because now with the newly found Trump doctrine, we can legally euthanize most of the Reich wing. I would full support either the destruction of America on the world stage if Trump stays in office as the new Furher, or if the Democrats take the Presidency, they can take all of DOGE, most of the Trump admin, and disappear them into El Salvador death camp. Then, using the legal strats Trump has put together, they can make the Federalist Society effectively illegal, declaring that anyone who employs their members is banned from interacting with the government. Since the President can now ignore funding requests from Congress, have them seize control of all payments, and link all Republicans to their Medicare, Social Security, or Medicaid payments and put stop payments on them all. Put stop payments to any grants or any federal monies of any kind to any Reich wing state, and make them beg on their knees. Withdraw all federal officers and offices from Reich wing states, let them implode.
