Would be interesting, very interesting :D. Btw. i answered to her that this seems very.. uhm.. discriminatory and if a male group would do this, this would be an outrage. Her answer: "well women feel left out often". My answer: "well, men too". Her answer: "I have to sleep now". Uhm.. yeah.. :D | ||

Billionaire Trump announces them by saying he 'sorta grew up with these people' and he knows a lot about the steel industry. .300 million networth Goldman Sachs man Mnuchin looking on the poor working people, smiling. Dusty Stevens from Kentucky tells an emotional story. Trump, displaying his knowledge of the steel industry, inserts with 'one thing also, the quality of our steel.... is really much higher, it's of a much better quality, which especially for certain things is very very important'. Next a man tells about his father losing his job. Trump misinterprets it as him losing his father and says his father would be proud at him from heaven. 'Oh he's still alive' 'Oh then he's even more proud'. Guy says his plant will die even with these tariffs but hopes others might survive. Trump says 'you're gonna accept great jobs and be very happy' and invites them for a picture in the oval office. Mnuchin thinks Trump, like several times before, is forgetting to actually sign the bill and reminds him. After signing with his one square foot autograph he holds up the bill and calls the VP like a pet 'Mike get up here' because Mike was hiding in the back as far as possible, a perfect display of his political strategy all year | ||

It is correct that the tariffs will only hit minor exporters (especially compared to canada, SK and mexico), but even "a little steel" is not "no steel". It applies to every nation except Canada and Mexico. ![[image loading]](https://pbs.twimg.com/media/DXzKyfvVQAAMxoL.jpg:large) The biggest problem is that if he continues down that road, it'll become too obvious (it already is, but "legally") that he just instated these tariffs to extort canada/mexico for a better NAFTA deal, rather than "national security". Which would be highly illegal and could have painful consequences. | ||

Unfortunately feminism is something that is also becoming tribalized in some circles. It isn't enough to just believe in the goals of feminism in those circles, it has to be part of your identity. | ||
