of all the criticisms I had for a wall, I didn't think I'd have to throw in inclement weather <:thinking_clown:590855640268668928>
glad I don't afterall
XD
it's not like this was a part that had been done for months that just fell over in high winds.
yeah, simultaneously disappointed and relieved
still funny that they wouldnt secure it down though
be fair, wind down here is no joke
would need lots more then a 30sec clip to know what happend.
and wind can come in suddenly
up in Oregon, we had mountains and shit, weather was there to stay
down here in texas, holy shit
our god damn patio umbrella flew the fuck up and over to the other side of our apartment
guess we were lucky it didn't land on the roof
i think we can all agree that the wall has been a disappointment
power's regularly gone out due to high winds
no?
... you do know how much wall has actually been built right?
like less than 10 miles
the wall is doing it's job fine and the fact that trump is getting anything done on it while the dems and some of the republicans are hardline against him is a win.
I just think its a poor use of resources for the task, but you won't catch me pouting if it turns out its a decent solution
Miles Built: 110
Miles to be Built: 509+
lmao, yeah and about 90% of that was rebuilding already existing border.
bear in mind congressional obstruction
@Jokerfaic ah, here is another place where they talk about "free trade economics"
they say stuff like "these people haded any government intervention in the market, in other words they 'wanted the govenrment to protect their local market'" (the half quote part is my reading of what they say in the 2nd vid at around 4min)
3 years of office increases border by 10 miles
XD
Logically one assumes given the location of a vehicle barrier/pre-existing fence that it has been marked as an important location by Border Patrol. Thus it makes sense to start with ineffective fencing and move on from there.
yes, the tories were trade protectionists, and the whigs were hardliners on not artificially altering prices. this was outlining the difficulty the prime minister would have in pitching a solution that both parties would cede to that would get what he wanted done in Ireland
still not anti-capitalist
my point here is this is not "free trade" or "free market" in the slightest by any understanding of the terms, there is piles and piles of other stuff going on that is very much government intervention.
by today's standards, no, its not what we concern ourselves with regarding market intervention. still waiting to hear the 'subtle' blaming of markets for the famine
I'm pretty sure the fungal rot has been mentioned by now
at about 3:40 they start talking about this part i'm pointing out
yes?
tories are trade protectionists, so he can't undercut grain prices.
wigs were "similerly hardcore when it came to free trade economics"
ah, i think i found one of the places I may have made a mistake, my mind put the comma in the wrong place on my first viewing.
well alright then
god damn it, all this griping about food has actually gotten me hungry
still not enough to change my stance on the Extra Credits people.
and i still got more then half of this set to go.
