Seriously, this is just bad. If Republicans were really laissez-faire as they claim, they wouldn't be passing these policies to protect the dealers, an unneccessary middle-man to one of the larger purchases you make in your life.

If you believe the economy is doing well and that the jobs statistician was gaslighting the world, you haven't been paying attention. Stores and plants are closing, menus at restaraunts are getting simpler to reduce costs, layoffs are accelerating, and uncertainty is high.

Like the Ukraine/Russia war, or the TikTok deal, or the Iran nuclear deal (that he intentionally broke), or the NJ drones source (yeah, you forgot about that), or…
President Trump says he'll decide whether to bomb Iran "within the next two weeks," a common timeframe he's used to promise updates on everything from tax reform and healthcare to infrastructure — often with no follow-through.

I struggle to understand how so many can despise Meta for their policies and actions on privacy, but then WhatsApp is so widely used globally for text messaging and SMBs heavily use Facebook as their sole way to communicate with customers.

This government doesn’t care for consumers. If you are going to blatantly allow companies perform predatory practices like this, you are anti-consumer.

I wouldn’t mind if companies did a breakdown of their products’ price to show the tariff cost. I doubt they would because why would they want to lower the price if the tariff is lowered?
