No it was not deregulation - it was mandating fannie and freddie back NINJA and other loans - that’s regulation - not deregulation:

no, cut taxes - grew the economy enormously, and spend the money needed to end the cold war and destroy the soviet union and impel china to liberalize its economy which in turn lifted between 1.5 to 2 billion people out of poverty.

Those regs made it easier for the crony elites to make more money - not less. Deregulation will do the opposite.

What’s going on with your country that the liberals are more sensible with money,lol? In our country they are always the debt ballooning spenders!

Reagan cut taxes 25% and pushed through massive deregulation in telecoms and transport (a process started during the carter administration by Dems who would be considered republican today) triggering a boom that lasted into the Clinton years (save for a very small technical recession in GHWBs last year).

Luckily, it was the Axis because they lost. Otherwise, we would be living in the life of Man in the High Castle and the Nazi’s would say they liberated the world.

I think you have that wrong. These are the average hard-working American that most Political Parties could care less about. The people who make up the majority of the US and are sick of getting screwed by Politicians.

I don’t think the minimum wage protest and factory jobs going overseas are analogous - but both are rooted in a skewed misunderstanding of what those workers’ time is actually worth.

Welding and CNC are jobs that generally require training, and in many cases some sort of certification. People would rather play video games than go to the local community college and get the appropriate education and certification.

Exactly, I mean if fast food workers are protesting $15 an hour, a wage that rivals paramedics, you know we aint getting those jobs back

If you want to weld or run a CNC, there is really no excuse as to why you can’t. There are plenty of jobs available in these fields.

Agreed. “Bring back American Jobs” by itself, with no context, does not necessarily help people (or the country). Because a lot of those jobs were poor paying, back-breaking labor jobs. Do Americans actually want to do this?

De-regulating emissions won’t bring manufacturing back. This is a stupid idea.

I hope none of his proposed legislation gets passed. I don’t want to be on the side of corporate interests, but implementing tariffs and scrapping trade agreements won’t bring back jobs, but it will increase the cost of living in the country substantially. A lose/lose situation.

Neutral: Can We Even Bring Back American Jobs?

1 - ‘mid-sized’ for variable representations of ‘mid’.

31" tires seem pretty tiny. The stock Colorado tires must be that tall at least.

For what it’s worth I did explicitly call out that the hypothetical of the wall was agnostic to the tariffs (which was kind of my point from the beginning.

But who were the aggressors? The Allies did what they had to do to defeat an extremely powerful aggressor which was bent on World domination under its own terms. The Allies had to destroy cities to do so, a horrible thing which I'm sure they regretted, but they did so in self defense.

Cool article, but I think the craziest part of the slushbox has been omitted... the valve body.
