Don’t drive traffic to that shite.

First and last time I’m visiting that site. Had adblocker on though, so no 1/100th of a cent from me.

Tariffs are often necessary, particularly for weaker states with vulnerable industries, or in agriculture because you want to maintain a certain domestic production of food for strategic (and sometimes cultural) reasons.

But these are not the kind of (very limited) tariffs the Trump admin is playing around with, with their blanket tariffs and general economic warfare.

I have seen a lot of fairly stupid misinformation written by US Democrats the last 2 months (as well as journalists) regarding tariffs, making it black and white and educating Americans with the wrong information.

Developing countries absofuckinglutely needs tariffs to protect nascent vulnerable industry.

I’m just commenting. It’s not my intention to insinuate that you don’t know this.

Who wants beef that has never tasted grass?

You know ,of course, that I for a moment there, was assaulted by a tiny argumentative devil on my shoulder who wanted me to start a completely idiotic argument regarding the difference between cattle and beef; and that the devil told me to argue that beef itself has presumably never tasted grass.

However, I am glad to announce that the little angel won ! :stuck_out_tongue: :smiling_face_with_three_hearts:

But yeah, I wholeheartedly agree with you. Our meat industry is bad enough in Europe.

Pedantic Pete to the rescue, but Grass Fed status is not about whether the cows eat grass, but whether they have that supplemented with other “more fattening” feed.

This devil is of higher quality than mine. His actually made a point that you can learn from, unlike my more incompetent Captain Obvious Devil.

I didn’t know this, so thanks Pedantic Pete (what an odd name for a devil !?)

I have very little to no sympathy for these people, they all thought it would only affect others.
