  • $300 shoes? I think the most expensive shoes I’ve ever bought were $70. I’m sure a lot of the issue with him getting picked on isn’t so much brand name but him feeling like he has no say in what he wears and feeling like he is dressed by his parents in styles he has no say in. Its been 25 years since I entered middle school like this kid, but back then I would have felt the same way if my parents were forcing me to wear something I didn’t like/want. It wasn’t about price either. Often times the shoes my parents wanted me to wear were the same or higher in price, but styles change over time and vary by region/groups. People have their own personalities and prefer to fit in if they can. If the kid doesn’t want to feel like a toddler and have more freedom in what they wear it isn’t a bad thing.



  • No he walked back the film tarrifs. China was at 154, brought down to 30% on a suspension for negotiations. Now he postponed that because he didn’t hear anything from China I’m guessing. China knows if they go to 154% it hurts them a bit, but hurts Americans more, which makes Trump look worse and continue to lose support. Not to mention China has its own shit going on. China can let the U.S. fuck themselves while figuring out ways to capitalize on the soft power vacuum he created around the world.

    First half of 2025 the U.S. dollar fell in value by the highest amount since we left the gold standard. Which leads to why Trump threatens BRICS with more tarrifs, which ultimately will hurt is more












  • Not sure what I’d expect to be honest. Then being the party that was “more” for climate change protections just watched the presidency, house, and senate step further from them. When it comes to climate change you need to have the Senate and Congress on your side to get changes done.

    It was basically Climate Vs Trans, and human rights vs racism. And Climate and Human rights lost.

    So if they need populism on their side… Their best bet is probably to run on culling the elderly with mass public executions, and degrading children for being little useless pieces of shit with no potential.

    They need to advertise hate.

    Or you know… Maybe we’ll learn something somehow and not vote in complete assholes. Hard to say.

    (Not bringing in the economy because both are going to raise the debt ceiling, and somehow not tax the rich, best we would get with all the branches flopping is returning to what we had now)
