Elon on Joe Rogan

[longbow51]

I remember when Ross Perot said NAFTA would create a giant sucking sound as solid middle class manufacturing jobs moved elsewhere; prophetic.

The imbalance of tariffs does seem unfair, though. Maybe the goal is reciprocity?

I had high hopes for Perot to shake things up. Not a Trump fan, but I do appreciate his call to action.
Border policy- A+
DOGE- B ( not happy with broad swath)
Tariffs-? (Chess game messing with my head)

If you have a niche it can be a great place to get information about various topics. Large and popular groups are notorious echo chambers and I would guess the ratio of bots would be staggeringly high if it could be shown.

I mostly use it for technology, guns, gaming, nfl, personal finance

Don't forget the droves of OnlyFans girls advertising themselves there.

Won't complain about that showing up on the feed occasionally either

Barely remember that guy. But I do seem to remember him having quite a few folks talking back in the day.

I used to listed to a lot of Joe Rogan. Still do every now and again when he has an interesting guest. It seems like most of the episodes devolve into the same things nowadays. Vaccines, MMA and how democrats are bad. I haven't listened to the Elon one, but if it is anything like the Trump episode, I imagine there is a lot of praise and very little critique.

Half of it was a space x infomercial. He says some interesting though provoking things but at the end of the day DOGE and musk are about doing right for billionaires not the United States of America.
He's intelligent enough to grift the average American.
The working class wants to be saved so bad right now they are another easy target for cons and scams.

When I lived in Texas, Perot was famous and infamous for the No Pass/No Play rule; you had to be passing academic classes to play football.

It was like making chicken salad with dark meat or putting beans in chile. Just not done.

There is a lot of truth in this.

Middle class is getting pretty close the ESA list.

Wasn't sure where to put this since there is usually 2 or 3 threads that are Trump themed going on a given day...wasn't expecting this perspective though.

UAW Statement on New Tariff Action - UAW | United Automobile, Aerospace and Agricultural Implement Workers of America

For 40 years, we’ve seen the devastating effects of so-called “free trade” on the working class. Corporations have been driving a non-stop race to the bottom by killing good blue-collar jobs in America to go exploit some poor worker in another country by paying poverty wages. Tariffs are a...

If you are pro tariff. OK but you should be able to acknowledge these facts.
You should want them implemented slowly and strategically. To give time for domestic production. To enact a lumber tariff without the ability to produce domestic lumber is simply a tax on citizens. We need time to build sawmills. Otherwise we will have to just pay a higher price to import.
Steel/ aluminum is the same we need time to build mills and factories.
To choose to have tariff wars with multiple countries at once is stupidity. They know we are going to be fighting multiple wars at once. We will be hurting.
Choosing to be attacked from multiple directions at once is bad negotiating and a terrible war plan.

So, what are the chances that Elon is helping with the roll out, roll back, roll out, rollback of the tariff policy? It seems very well considered.
