It's more like:

  • the handgun is an Uzi
  • the gun owner is senile and has tremors in their hands
  • the foot is painted bright orange, is 10 sizes larger than average, and is dusted in a light seasoning of primacord.

  • The hand holding the gun is very tiny

What supply chains need to be blocked so that they stop making bombs for Israel? Asking for a homework.

Much obliged! 🤘

Probably should have thought that one through before pulling the trigger on tariffs with zero research

thought

We don't do that here in the States.

It's one of the banned words

[–] jimjam5@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Soon it’ll probably be a crime to use/say/write/type/convey banned words like “thought” and “research”

No need to ban words or books when people don't even know how to read or have the reading comprehension of a dead possum.

A boot, stomping on a face, forever.

[–] JohnnyCanuck@lemmy.ca 10 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Oh come on, are you trying to say there's a better way to bring manufacturing of specific high end parts to the United States than blanket tariffs on everything?

[–] wise_pancake@lemmy.ca 7 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Have you tried making all the input materials more expensive too?

[–] JohnnyCanuck@lemmy.ca 2 points 2 months ago

Well we can compensate by automating everything to keep the costs down, literal no brainer.

[–] LumpyPancakes@lemm.ee 15 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Can't they just use rubber bands instead?

[–] ProfessorOwl_PhD@hexbear.net 4 points 2 months ago (1 children)

The rubber bands are also made in china.

Remember how we've been punishing Cuba for 60 years by making sure they can't buy stuff from other countries? That's our new model for checks notes ... improving the US economy.

[–] NoneOfUrBusiness@fedia.io 8 points 2 months ago

Actually great news, since we all know what those are used for.
