The Hacker News crowd uses this phrase every other sentence so it was almost humorous to see it used here. I thought this was a shitpost

Why are tariffs the tool? Why now? Why disrupt anything for the benefit of corporations and their… thousand(s?) of workers? Unemployment is quite low already, and as far as I know manufacturing has been largely leaving the US for what I assume are economic reasons that will persist longer than the tariffs.

Why not laws requiring ethical sourcing of materials and labor if ethics is your concern?

I mean let’s think this through. Say it costs many millions, billions even, to create new manufacturing plants for any of the major players. It will take probably years to complete and on top of that US workers have much stronger protections than most of the world with significantly higher labor costs to boot. consumers would immediately pay more because of the tariffs, and then even if the “protectionism” works, we’re still paying more, even if it’s to US workers and companies. This isn’t even to mention that the taxpayer is likely going to foot the bill for construction of new factories as they’ve done with Intel etc.

i’m struggling to see any merits to this idea. Can you elaborate?

you’re inspiring me with the trackball. i’m on mac for work though, so i have a trackpad between my halves for gestures… maybe one day

Great read. Though, this is an old white man thing to say:

When I was a kid, police officers were our friends. When I was a reporter, they were men who surfed and played in bands when they were younger. They were not out to ruin your day, or your life. They enforced the law with a sound sense of context.

I wonder how his experience would differ if he was a minority.

You don’t like when people tell you what to call them? What?

It’s not exactly what you mean, but merely mentioning abstinence evokes abstinence educators in the US for me. Abstinence education is bullshit. What kid needs to be told the only way to avoid STDs is to not have sex? Anyone with a functioning brain knows that. Abstinence educators are by and large Christian fundamentalists who go to schools to lie about sex and try to scare kids out of it.

Somehow I attended a public school which had one of these “educators” come by and preach about the purity of abstinence to my entire class. It was surreal and insulting to our intelligence.

This is a great combo! I went from plex to RD+stremio and it’s great. Same selection for the most part. Only issue is you don’t retain the data. I am not a huge rewatcher or archiver so this is not a bad tradeoff for me.

That’s true, but it devalues other labor which can be similarly/more difficult or skilled. I skimmed this article, but it seems to convey what I mean:

I understand what people mean when they say “skilled labor” and I don’t think it’s intended negatively normally fwiw

Be nice

“Skilled labor” is such a bullshit concept

Finally some terms I can understand

Man I’d hate to jump to conclusions but that’s a lot of divisive comments from a 24 day old account.
