You have no idea what you're talking about. Although he did not start Telsa, the owners where basically at a standstill with EV until they convinced a guy building space rockets to come aboard and send them off soaring (no pun intended). So there is that sort of mantra he can claim. The bold above is absolutely false, try again!
I have not. You've got to remember that it's totally illegal here in Idaho. So I'm a minimalist (which could also be an old guy's way of excusing himself from keeping up with the times)... I'll buy < 1 oz at a time (usually 1/4 to 1/2) and a pack of wraps. I toss the container and use a cheap sandwich bag... not even zip lock. That's it. No pipes, bongs, grinders, edibles... nothing. That way, a quick flush and I'm 100% legal.
I'll report back. I've tried D8's from the company that used to advertise here. Not bad. Waiting on delivery.
Need a welfare check on @firegiver if this goes through 😂😂😂
Hilarious, love our new oligarch's sense of humor. Man its so great he gets my tax money.
How is a Tarriff, which raises the prices of items coming into the country, going to lower grocery prices. How?
“It’s sort of nonsensical to say that I am worried about high food prices, so I want to put a tax on food imports,” said Clausing, who is also a UCLA economist specializing in tax policy. “As you tax them, the food in the grocery store absolutely gets more expensive.”

I replied to your Tarriff thread, you misunderstood the point of that persons paper. THe whole point was to lower the value of the dollar to attack the trade deficit.
Well, we know you did not read the paper.
Did you read the paper from the incoming, phd harvard trained, economist?“It’s sort of nonsensical to say that I am worried about high food prices, so I want to put a tax on food imports,” said Clausing, who is also a UCLA economist specializing in tax policy. “As you tax them, the food in the grocery store absolutely gets more expensive.”
A huge proportion of food consumed in the United States — about 60% of fresh fruit and 38% of vegetables — are imported, according to Department of Agriculture data. Less than 1% of the bananas Americans eat are grown domestically. The vast majority are imported. The United States grows less than 1% of the coffee it consumes. It imports more than 70% of its seafood.
“Trump is using tariffs as a political device to signal his strong skepticism around globalization broadly — ‘America First,’ ” said Zandi of Moody’s Analytics. “That this policy stance is inflationary is very difficult for most voters to grasp, especially when they are being told the opposite.’'
Trump's economic plans would worsen inflation, experts say
Donald Trump has vowed that if voters return him to the White House, “inflation will vanish completely.”
The whole point of the paper is that you can implement tariffs without causing inflation or raising prices. Additionally, you can implement tariffs in a way that it is not zero-sum and the wealth of the tariffed nation decreases.
Anonymous kook is a UCLA economist specializing in tax policy. Let's not get sidetracked by a murky, long-term tariff policy, Trump said grocery prices would be coming down quickly.
Read the paper. It's probably too far over your head to be honest.
I don't have time right now because I have a job. I just pop in and out for quick hits....but I assure you I will understand it,
OK, then take the time to read it when you can and then we can discuss about it. But it just seems like you are trolling when i can tell you haven't read the paper.
I think it's an interesting paper because the general consensus has been that tariffs are a zero-sum game. However, he has a theory that it is not and lays out exactly how he would implement his theory. It would make for an interesting discussion.
The TLDR version is: If we raise tarriffs, then the costs saved by exploiting people with slave wages in foreign countries won't be as high. Thus the trade deficit will be COULD be lowered with that economic change to the model.
