   Ever? In 2019: "Because of that, you’re not paying for those tariffs. China’s paying for those tariffs,” the president said, hours after announcing the new set of tariffs on Chinese goods. “Until such time as there is a deal, we will b

   I'm not saying I personally agree with the statement, but to be chartiable there is definitely a non-zero amount of commenters here who believe that the US is the only "real" democracy in the world.

   > No reason for any of the US top intellectuals to stay here. Depending on who you ask, the US is still the only country to have freedom of speech and the right to bear arms against a tyrannical government, which might be appealing for

   As the current administration explained, tariffs are intended to offset the tax cut, while the tax cut allows trickle down economics to take place. If you ignore all the glaring flaws it's a wonderful plan!

   Understandable. Other countries seem to have education figured out, but now it's time to let America try out what it excells at, a free market implementation. I've seen a lot of good ideas on this forum for how it could work so I&

   I'm sorry, but either it's factually true (or mostly there, to be chartiable) or it's just good vibes and made up, and the latter doesn't lead to curious discussion, an important ethos for this site. If you make a claim

    Curious to see Tesla reveal what they've been working on. As the leader in EVs (according to this site) I expect nothing less than something better than what BYD have brought to the table.

    It's curious that a lot of Venezuelans campaigned for Trump and this is the outcome at the end. I doubt anyone could have seen this coming, for sure.

    Interesting to read the perspective of Americans who don't understand that different countries have different election systems, and that Canada doesn't directly elect their PMs.

    Thanks for the quote! Do you happen to have a source for that quote? Other than that, you suggest Musk would otherwise “be in prison.” Under which legal framework or statute should a CEO face criminal liability for a failed technological pr

    I don't know if I agree, but I'm not as smart as PG or Garry Tan to evaluate what incoming infrastructure startups could make the cut for YC funding. Put it this way, if we as a tech community can band together and create protocol

    Are there any published statistics or measures to back up your claim? Out of curiosity, of course.

    The US can still be a leader, I think. I'm curious as to if this is the time for a YC-funded startup to take the reins for a lot of the programs and policies being cut. As geohot showed unequivocally yesterday, who else is better to le

    I agree. One other thing that the US has that no other country has is freedom of speech. My entire family was killed in my previous country for daring to speak up against the leader at the time. It has something that has shook me to my core
