They already tried “made in America” Apple products and they did not sell! Americans don’t want to pay $5K for an iPhone when they can pay 80% less for one made in China.

rockhard@lemm.eeto Health - Resources and discussion for everything health-related@lemmy.world•Texas children poisoned after RFK Jr touts vitamin A as measles treatmentEnglish6·23 days agoYou don’t get what I’m saying. Insurance companies aren’t making the choice for consumers. Consumers refuse to take preventative health measures, that is the choice they make. Insurance in turn, refuses to provide coverage to them because they willingly cost them more in the long run. Medicare and Medicaid, what will be left of them, should also refuse to cover them. Let these consumers cover their own healthcare costs.
rockhard@lemm.eeto Health - Resources and discussion for everything health-related@lemmy.world•Texas children poisoned after RFK Jr touts vitamin A as measles treatmentEnglish16·23 days agoThis would still respect choice while cutting back on the utilization of emergency services covered by insurance companies. It could lead to reduced costs and people who pay into insurance shouldn’t be forced to pay for the negative health outcomes of people who willingly flout preventative health measures. It drives up costs for everyone.
What do you think an effect of that $5M gold card is going to be? Good luck continuing to compete with institutional investors and ultra wealthy.
rockhard@lemm.eeto politics @lemmy.world•Rand Paul Fears Trump Tariffs Could Mean 1930s-Style Republican Wipeout: ‘We Lost the House and Senate for 60 Years’English3·27 days agoIt’s nothing but talk for these AHs and trying to save face. Besides it’s not like if DJT is removed that we’d fair any better. We’d have couch fucker to contend with and he’s just as bad.
He rejected the plea deal. Taking a plea deal means you forgo trial. Granted actual mass murderers received lesser sentences like LWOP.
By requesting the DP they are essentially going to try to find a jury that is as pro DP as possible.
The state my dick was in.
rockhard@lemm.eeto politics @lemmy.world•Sanders and AOC tell packed arena Trump is ‘screwing over’ working classEnglish91·1 month agoThat is because both GOP and DEM are corporatist parties. They will not cater to working class people because those people aren’t the ones throwing the most money at them. Left wing populism is nothing more than a tankie wet dream since citizens united.
He does think everyone is stupid. You should read the article his first wife wrote about him years ago. He called himself an Alpha among other cringey things during their wedding reception. EM has a superiority complex and bitches about weaponized empathy while weaponizing empathy by claiming to be a victim and, and his father allegedly put it, “retarded”.
rockhard@lemm.eeto politics @lemmy.world•Trump gave ‘green light’ to Israel before Gaza bombing that left ‘400 dead,’ report saysEnglish21·1 month agoYou didn’t predict anything. But it’s clear only one of us is angry. Enjoy the rest of your day.
rockhard@lemm.eeto politics @lemmy.world•Trump gave ‘green light’ to Israel before Gaza bombing that left ‘400 dead,’ report saysEnglish21·1 month agoThe fact that you couldn’t see that Trump would be inarguably worse and/or didn’t care is why Palestine is going to wiped off the map and be but a footnote in history.
rockhard@lemm.eeto politics @lemmy.world•Trump gave ‘green light’ to Israel before Gaza bombing that left ‘400 dead,’ report saysEnglish32·1 month agoWhen people were actively arguing that Dems would be worse than Trump on Gaza they were either stupid or accelerationists. Especially considering these are self proclaimed “leftists” who apparently think Trump will usher in a tankie uprising. Not them of course, social media is full on revolutionary activism so they won’t be doing anything.
rockhard@lemm.eeto movies@lemm.ee•Online Wars Aside, 'Snow White' Simply Isn't Getting Moviegoers to Buy InEnglish8·1 month agoI mostly agree though I didn’t really like Beauty and the Beast enough to watch it more than once. I think Cinderella was the better of the live action remakes that they’ve made. I also didn’t see the appeal of the LA Jungle Book.
rockhard@lemm.eeto News@lemmy.world•There It Is: RFK Jr. Suggests Best Strategy For Combatting Measles Is For Everyone To Get ItEnglish1·1 month agoYes, it was a big thing with public health officials and doctors saying that measles were not like chickenpox but that’s how people in Marin were treating it.
Article from 2015 that was updated in 2018.

rockhard@lemm.eeto politics @lemmy.world•Trump gave ‘green light’ to Israel before Gaza bombing that left ‘400 dead,’ report saysEnglish118·1 month agoI had conversations with many an accelerationist who supported Trump over Harris on Gaza. Pretty sure they were just full of shit and spreading misinformation.
rockhard@lemm.eeto News@lemmy.world•There It Is: RFK Jr. Suggests Best Strategy For Combatting Measles Is For Everyone To Get ItEnglish19·1 month agoIf I’m not mistaken parts of the SF Bay Area had measles parties like 10-15 years ago when the anti-vaxx thing was really becoming trendy. Parents would take their kids to try to get them infected. It’s as stupid today as it was before. Fuck these people.
rockhard@lemm.eetoTrump Watch@lemm.ee•Trump's approval rating plunges with America's most accurate pollsterEnglish3·1 month agoI think I read that about 20% of USian adults are borderline illiterate. They probably cancel each other out.
Well that sucks but they sure as hell won’t be able to buy one “made in America” either. The raw materials for batteries alone would have tariffs on them as well. Unless we have massive amounts of cobalt, lithium, copper, silicon, cadmium, etc, to be able to produce these items domestically, working class and middle class Americans will not be able to afford them.
