They already tried “made in America” Apple products and they did not sell! Americans don’t want to pay $5K for an iPhone when they can pay 80% less for one made in China.

rockhard@lemm.eeto Health - Resources and discussion for everything health-related@lemmy.world•Texas children poisoned after RFK Jr touts vitamin A as measles treatmentEnglish6·4 months agoYou don’t get what I’m saying. Insurance companies aren’t making the choice for consumers. Consumers refuse to take preventative health measures, that is the choice they make. Insurance in turn, refuses to provide coverage to them because they willingly cost them more in the long run. Medicare and Medicaid, what will be left of them, should also refuse to cover them. Let these consumers cover their own healthcare costs.
rockhard@lemm.eeto Health - Resources and discussion for everything health-related@lemmy.world•Texas children poisoned after RFK Jr touts vitamin A as measles treatmentEnglish16·4 months agoThis would still respect choice while cutting back on the utilization of emergency services covered by insurance companies. It could lead to reduced costs and people who pay into insurance shouldn’t be forced to pay for the negative health outcomes of people who willingly flout preventative health measures. It drives up costs for everyone.

rockhard@lemm.eeto politics @lemmy.world•Rand Paul Fears Trump Tariffs Could Mean 1930s-Style Republican Wipeout: ‘We Lost the House and Senate for 60 Years’English3·4 months agoIt’s nothing but talk for these AHs and trying to save face. Besides it’s not like if DJT is removed that we’d fair any better. We’d have couch fucker to contend with and he’s just as bad.
rockhard@lemm.eeto News@lemmy.world•Attorney General Pam Bondi directs prosecutors to seek death penalty for Luigi MangioneEnglish1·4 months agoHe rejected the plea deal. Taking a plea deal means you forgo trial. Granted actual mass murderers received lesser sentences like LWOP.
rockhard@lemm.eeto News@lemmy.world•Attorney General Pam Bondi directs prosecutors to seek death penalty for Luigi MangioneEnglish2·4 months agoBy requesting the DP they are essentially going to try to find a jury that is as pro DP as possible.
rockhard@lemm.eeto politics @lemmy.world•Sanders and AOC tell packed arena Trump is ‘screwing over’ working classEnglish4·5 months agoThat is because both GOP and DEM are corporatist parties. They will not cater to working class people because those people aren’t the ones throwing the most money at them. Left wing populism is nothing more than a tankie wet dream since citizens united.
rockhard@lemm.eeto politics @lemmy.world•Trump gave ‘green light’ to Israel before Gaza bombing that left ‘400 dead,’ report saysEnglish01·5 months agoThe fact that you couldn’t see that Trump would be inarguably worse and/or didn’t care is why Palestine is going to wiped off the map and be but a footnote in history.
rockhard@lemm.eeto politics @lemmy.world•Trump gave ‘green light’ to Israel before Gaza bombing that left ‘400 dead,’ report saysEnglish01·5 months agoWhen people were actively arguing that Dems would be worse than Trump on Gaza they were either stupid or accelerationists. Especially considering these are self proclaimed “leftists” who apparently think Trump will usher in a tankie uprising. Not them of course, social media is full on revolutionary activism so they won’t be doing anything.
rockhard@lemm.eeto [moved to piefed] movies@lemm.ee•Online Wars Aside, 'Snow White' Simply Isn't Getting Moviegoers to Buy InEnglish8·5 months agoI mostly agree though I didn’t really like Beauty and the Beast enough to watch it more than once. I think Cinderella was the better of the live action remakes that they’ve made. I also didn’t see the appeal of the LA Jungle Book.

rockhard@lemm.eeto politics @lemmy.world•Trump gave ‘green light’ to Israel before Gaza bombing that left ‘400 dead,’ report saysEnglish01·5 months agoI had conversations with many an accelerationist who supported Trump over Harris on Gaza. Pretty sure they were just full of shit and spreading misinformation.
rockhard@lemm.eeto politics @lemmy.world•MAGA pol who introduced bill on ‘Trump Derangement Syndrome’ arrestedEnglish6·5 months agoThat’s why you have to keep asking them questions. Antifa did it? Why’d they get pardoned by Trump? They’ll usually disengage or start hurling insults.
rockhard@lemm.eeto politics @lemmy.world•MAGA pol who introduced bill on ‘Trump Derangement Syndrome’ arrestedEnglish6·5 months agoProbably a combination of factors. Consider that pedophilia and sexual predation are anti-social behaviors and that people who enter into higher/high level politics or business have anti-social tendencies as well. You can’t run a district, company, city, state, country, etc. that require you to sacrifice for the imperatives you’re seeking. You can’t get bogged down by caring for people. You see them as a means to an end. Objects with utility.
rockhard@lemm.eeto politics @lemmy.world•MAGA pol who introduced bill on ‘Trump Derangement Syndrome’ arrestedEnglish6·5 months agoOh well. These people entered government willingly. They are the deep state.
rockhard@lemm.eeto World News@lemmy.world•‘American Pie’ actress says she was detained by ICE while trying to renew her work visa: ‘I have never in my life seen anything so inhumane’English15·5 months agoYes and it also raises visibility for the very real issues that people have raised concerns about. It’s one thing to detain and/or deport people without proper documentation. It’s another to act as though people with the proper documentation who are abiding the laws are also being detained and/or deported. Say nothing for the US citizens who are also being detained and/or deported.

rockhard@lemm.eeto News@lemmy.world•‘Shut up about egg prices’: Trump shares brazen message about high costsEnglish5·5 months agoMultiple economists overwhelmingly stated that his policy proposals were inflationary. MAGA accused them of being “liberals” and disregarded their warnings as fake. Working people aren’t going to be saving anything unless it’s by a sheer cut back in their spending as they try to save money. And of course saving won’t matter if Trump axes FDIC.
Well that sucks but they sure as hell won’t be able to buy one “made in America” either. The raw materials for batteries alone would have tariffs on them as well. Unless we have massive amounts of cobalt, lithium, copper, silicon, cadmium, etc, to be able to produce these items domestically, working class and middle class Americans will not be able to afford them.
