Why anyone would want a Swastikar for any amount of money is beyond my understanding.

Sure, if you describe it by making things up. A game of football is at least 90 minutes of play. The forwards and midfielders run two or three times as much as players in the NHL, or basketball for that matter. The last match I watched had 4 goals and 26 goal attempts in the 90 minutes. The average shots per team per game is between 8 and 15.

That's a Tesco Slinky. Tastes good.

Not at all.

He always seemed a bit rapey.

They do. There are games on the PS5 store (digital ones) for more than 90 dollars. There are a few games I've seen upwards of 100 quid, which is about 130 dollars.

The only time you want credits at the start is if you're running late to the cinema.

Both. I was banned for using a slur. I was quoting a movie in a post about that movie (Glengarry Glenross). It was in quotation marks and everything.

I made a new account and was banned a month later for being racist. It was on a video of a train and I said something like 'why did I feel when that started like some Indian guy was going to die foolishly?'

Racist, apparently.

Everyday I think I've heard the stupidest thing come out of the US, and they somehow trump it the very next day. Remarkable.

I think saying it is short term is very hopeful. The ripples of this will be felt for many years. You can't suddenly magic manufacturing infrastructure and supply chains into existence. It's a long road to do that with seemingly no plan in the interim, and I've no doubt that tariffs will be changed many times at his whim, so it's hard for anyone to set up any manufacturing business when they can't get a solid grip on their costs, given the need to import raw materials and components.

Making items on home soil for your own market is a good idea but it takes a lot of time, and the general feeling in the rest of the world is that countries will want to import fewer US goods, so export markets for the US will dwindle, and I doubt there is enough buying power in the US to get the growth he wants, particularly when these products made on US soil will undoubtedly cost more to the consumer than they currently do, and with stagnating wages and high cost of living as part of the equation.

I'm sure he'll start selling to his Russian buddies when the time comes, but doubt that will be enough to fix his mess.
