Less surveillance and death machines back then. Resistance will be harder.

And yet Trump is the party of more and cronyism. Not less.

The is just more of the "drain the swamp" con. People didn't learn.

Pound for pound, the CFM output of vacuums doesn't come close to the CFM of leaf blowers. Probably because of the lack of filtration. And I guess that's the point. Why filter material the wind would just kick up in the air naturally anyway? This is a waste of energy and time. Obviously if you are blowing material that normally wouldn't be outdoors for the wind to blow around naturally, that's a different story.

I will admit, the sound is really annoying though.

Not voting is an act of renouncing your voice and your rights. It's not a protest. It's at best complicity with the status quo, and at worst going to support a candidate that will be far far worse for the issues you are "protesting". You don't get to complain when you don't vote. All you get to do is sit down, shut up, and continue your inaction.

Protest voting doesn't work when the candidate you are protesting is the least worst option. Democrats that will not vote out of principle have been conned as badly as MAGA republicans. End of story.

A lot of comments here suggest people didn't read the article. It's pretty clear he intends to increase tarifs, and that would substitute income tax. Hey even MAGAS as demented as trump still gotta fund that war machine somehow.

As for how effective it could be? Well it's at least interesting, as it will effectively be a 75% consumption tax on manufactured goods as a replacement. This would probably reduce consumption (great), crash manufacturing (bad), and boost white collar sectors (especially finance).

Basically this will negatively impact blue collars, and benefit white collars and the rich. Oh look, the big con continues.

This situation has come to be, through the ignorance and inaction of ordinary people. Your attitude is part of the problem.

Corporate censorship. These companies are too powerful and tyrannical.

Whataboutism and a straw man in the same sentence. Smells like speed running trolling.
