Arent the tariffs in the end a sort of tax on the American companies that buy the products? So isn't this 'extra income' just Americans paying more in the end?

Sure, and if we’re dragging out historical wins to score points, we can sit here all day trading inventions like baseball cards.

Automobiles? Germany. Jet engines and the WWW? UK. Radio? Italy (and yes, Tesla gets a nod too). Satellites and the first man in space? Soviet Union. Solid-state theory that made electronics possible? Mostly European physics.

China gave us the compass, paper, and gunpowder. India gave us the number zero and early surgery. Japan revolutionized consumer electronics and manufacturing efficiency. France had photography and hot air balloons before the Wright brothers ever left the ground.

Point is: past contributions are global. No one country owns progress. So unless you’re planning to live off 1950s prestige, maybe let's not pretend history is a scoreboard that settles today’s reality.

Past glory doesn't pay for today's bill. If you want to compare what other countries have done in the past we can be sitting here for a long time.

Is there anybody who has a way to handle transferring from Gmail to anything else without losing 20 years+ worth of mail and content? Also to make sure that the people who contact me through Gmail get transferred to the new location?

Trams on average do not drive too fast. I would imagine that bees would easily be able to evade them or even be bumped out of the way.

I'm going to look into it. Thank you.

I never would have thought that a random post would chance my world view. I am genuinely stumped.

Could somebody please explain to me how somebody can not think like this? I always thought this is the normal way to think. There are people who don't think like this?

This is just pure delusional. They wouldn't crash Air Force Gold with him on it. They would do it without him on it, as a warning. He's too easy to use, why would anybody with money exchange him for a potential 'difficult' president?
