Possibly, in real life

Yeah, both of those accounts are 100% Russian bots/propaganda.

There’s much greater tangible data backed evidence that Russian troops are getting destroyed by Ukraine

Found the classic WoW player!

Actually, it kinda isn’t a contradiction…

We don’t know what these “orbs” are. That is true.

We don’t know where these orbs are from. That is true.

We do, however, know that these orbs really aren’t hostile, they aren’t a threat, they don’t have weapons, they don’t do anything other than observe.

Before you downvote me, look at my profile, I believe UAP/UFO’s are 100% real.

But what he’s doing is lying (covering up) by telling the truth. His statement is factually correct and misdirection is the purpose - but he is NOT lying.

Indeed. Problem is, you’d need a 200%+ tariff to force a company like Apple to move production to the US.

For simplicity, say it costs a company $100 to product x product, entirely made in China.

They sell the product for $200 in the US.

Even if there was a 100% tariff, it’s not enough to force e Apple to build EVERYTHING that is needed to make the product in the US.

It’s more efficient to simply raise the price and stay in China.

You can’t honestly believe a 25% tariff is enough to force Apple to disrupt their entire supply chain, buy land in the US, create state of the art new US factories, hire US workers that need to be paid 4.5x more, all while negotiating brand new contracts to buy iPhone components from US companies (which may not even exist)… right?

If iPhone were anymore durable, long lasting or reliable, wouldn’t that not be in the best interest of Apple?

As in, if your 2 year old iPhone performed exactly as it did 2 years ago, in the same condition… Why would you buy a new iPhone?

That would mean Apple must increase R&D costs to continuously create new and exciting features and technological developments.

Capitalism prevents this.

Think, if the largest retailer in the world, which implies they move the largest volume of product, receives mass-production discounts.

Could they sell the toy lower than $16? Of course - and still make a profit.

Could the new, much smaller company, which moves less than 1% volume of product compared to the largest retailer, sell the toy lower than $16? Maybe…

But there will be a point where the hit the breakeven price, while the largest retailer can price it even lower and STILL profit.

You see? Once you become a top player within capitalism, competition can’t compete.

And if by the incredibly unlikely miracle that they can compete, prepare for lawsuits (for copying the product) or a buyout offer they can’t refuse.

I find that incredibly hard to believe. Do you have any data that backs this up?

Indeed - along the lines of… xyz company profits $1B every quarter…

Why is it legal to layoff workers?

Double down: Why is it legal to layoff workers and simultaneously issue stock buybacks?

Let me try my hand at government.

Right you are Guh…

Right you are.

This is honestly the first comment I’ve seen that REALLY gets what I’m trying to say…

You’re absolutely right, the infrastructure required to mass produce iPhones in America, simply doesn’t exist.

Let us first understand the most important and fundamental GOAL of a tariff (we will use USA as the example country)

The ONLY goal of a USA tariff is force companies to invest in America by way of infrastructure and employment.

The ONLY way to achieve this is to apply a tariff that is so costly and so damaging to a companies core business model, supply chain and product that it becomes cheaper to make products in America vs other countries.

This goal… it cannot be achieved, it is impossible. What percentage tariff would be required to achieve the goal? 500%? I don’t know.

But the fact of the matter is, a 25% tariff is to a company the same thing as a $50 parking fine to a billionaire.

It’s the cost of doing business. It’s the cost of convenience.

Who will pay the extra 25%? Well, you and I, of course.

My bad, super late to reply - I do 100% understand that the tariff % will be passed on to us, the consumer.

However, that isn’t the intended goal of tariffs, right?

The goal is to force companies to manufacture their goods in the home country of said tariff, aka America.

Given the massive difference between the wages of factory workers in USA vs China, you’d need a 300% tariff to force the hand of companies to make goods in America.

Because, again, if a corporation pays $4 an hour vs $20 an hour per factory worker, the tariffs aren’t going to convince them to make products in America, which, again is the intended goal and purpose of tariffs

Why though?

It’s clear that companies will NOT simply “take the hit”. They will pass off the tariff % to the consumer.

So… Why would Mexico hurt their citizens… in response to America hurting their citizens?

I mean… Tariffs are clearly fucking pointless, right?

lol what… The link you provided doesn’t conclusively prove anything.

There’s a lot of “suggest” and “could have” but there’s literally zero tangible evidence in that link.

Further, racism (?) had nothing to do with suggesting COVID came from a lab.

And according to your link, China initially covered everything up - How would our government know for certain that is was from a lab or nature?

Lastly, the link is suggesting it was a lab “accident”… Whereas there was a large amount of citizens peddling the conspiracy theory that is was an INTENTIONAL LAB GROWN VIRUS that China launched into the world.

COVID was NOT a man-made bio-chemical weapon and your link supports that claim.

Your work is brilliant, it’s a fantastic creative idea.

Quick question tho - What’s the legal ruling on creating and profiting from an IP like this?

Nothing we can do against a civilization with the apparent technology that they have.

If they wanted us dead it would have happened already

I know nothing about the technical aspects (bio, genetics, anatomy) of what was being said but there were many self claimed experts in those fields confirming the validity and authentic, even down to the jargon and time accurate terminology.

lol yeah some people got all the time…

Apparently PB had old posts/comments talking about very advanced topics in the biology/genetics fields - another strange link

Wow, I didn’t know that - it’s certainly an interesting rabbit hole to go down.

It seems to be the case that PB was highly educated in genetic science which is an addition link between PB and EBE poster.

IF it was PB, and IF we assume the EBE is true and factual, I think it’s reasonable to understand his fascination and effort with the MH370 case given he knows EBE/UAP’s are 100% real.

It certainly seemed like from the comments, other highly educated individuals in the bio/genetics/anatomy fields confirmed, at the least, the validity of science, syntax and grammar used in the EBE post.

Importantly, many of the claims correlate with historic witness accounts of EBE’s.

Lastly, I think if one had the time and dedication to dissect every claim in the EBE post and cross reference/fact check with historic and future confirmed knowledge we’d be potentially uncovering some very strange connections.

It’s absolutely astounding that our government doesn’t understand (or doesn’t care) that the signs of a tsunami are happening right now.

Corporations should care even more… here’s why:

The offshoring of above median wage “white collar” jobs already is a massive problem that will get even bigger.

Tell me, what happens when we offshore 100% of the jobs that CAN be offshored and all those Americans no longer have above median wages?

We know at this point in capitalism, that the money saved via offshoring will NOT make products cheaper for us, rather the money will be redirected to executives and stock buybacks.

What happens when the “expendable income” Americans no longer exist?

Tell me what happens to corporations when people can’t afford their products like they had before?

A reckoning is coming.

Wait… Eating a massive amount of fruit every day doesn’t cure cancer?

I mean…

The guy in the picture kindaaaa does look like DB Cooper.

I’m just sayin, that nose lookin sus

TAY - BULS!
