Random Politics & Religion #37: W/ Bubba The Love Sponge

It all comes down to this, you don't have to manufacture everything in China.

It all comes down to this, you don't have to manufacture everything in China.

Or maybe, just maybe, some people don't view the world in such absolute, idealistic terms.

Conservatives don't like taxes either. That doesn't mean that supporting a tax rate above 0% makes you a liberal. What you want to happen and what reality dictates are often two different things. A free market only works if everyone plays ball, and sometimes you have to go against the grain to make that happen.

Plastered onto a long, cylindrical, glass-encased prayer candle is the image of a man with the most perfect middle part you’ve ever seen. From the top of his haloed head flows a cascade of thick brown hair that ends just below his shoulders. The figure is adorned in robes and holding a ... hair dryer?

This prayer candle is one of Angie Quintanilla Coates’s best-sellers, and the image is not of Jesus — it’s of *** Eye’s Jonathan Van Ness. And unlike a traditional prayer candle that sells for about $2, this one is $12.

Van Ness is one of many stars on the celebrity-studded prayer candles Coates sells at her shop, The Five15. Others include Frida Kahlo, Dolly Parton, and political figures like Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Ruth Bader Ginsburg. They are all fashioned to look like saints, or, as Coates calls it, a “modern version of a saint.” ...

I didn't mean this to be in absolute, but it is amusing seeing you guys being supportive of putting additional taxes on Americans so you can bail out your farmers.

What you quoted is completely unrelated, but anyways my point still stands.

You won't get a completely free market ever, even less if you are going to impose tariffs because you can't compete. You are supporting what you hate.

Fair competition in a free market, hahahaha. Oh god that one is funny. Thanks for the laughs.

Blasphemous, appropriative, and wildly popular: the rise of the celebrity prayer candle
Gift shops and Etsy are selling prayer candles featuring AOC, the Golden Girls, and Dolly Parton. Why are they so popular?

They are liberals, it's all or nothing, friend or foe, with them or against them, by definition they can only see black and white.

The pay pennies, no osha, non significant labor laws. That's why manufacturers love those eastern asia countries.

China can either treat us fairly or suffer the consequences. It about time we had a president that stood up for us.

Can we also employ minors to work in factories too???? I mean that's an untapped market right there!!

Sigh. My culture is being appropriated!!!

Also didn't they have a Robert Mueller one? Or has he been casted off as a false messiah now too?

Unfortunately many Americans are suffering the consequences. None of them are elected officials. I think elected officials should be made to suffer.

More than a few Republicans have called for "revisiting" child labor laws. Why should the 7 year olds in Bangladesh get all those good factory jobs?

America appropriates everyone's culture.

Exactly! To compete fairly we should either change the laws OR take over their land and change their laws by force! INVASION! LETS GO!!!






XD

That is a job I'd be up for. Give me a gun and some beer and I'll shoot prisoners for a living.
