Americans can afford 1 or 2 American products, but 30 American products? Out of the question.

Right? What else is left? The red police state just grows stronger.

This was literally my first thought. You’d basically have to go through every one of the millions of components across every square inch to verify there was nothing sketchy going on. Not to mention, you’d have to review all of the software and firmware to make sure it wasn’t modified or sabotaged in some way. It would take an excruciating amount of effort to make it “safe”.

I think Trump has Trump Derangement Syndrome

I don’t really care what you think, tbh

Tbh, I’m always smoking the house up to get the right crisp on my chicken. I might be using the wrong oil, and I know I’m probably not the only one lol

I had the same feeling. It was an elitist response that did nothing to educate or inform me or anybody else lol. I don’t even care about movies that much, and that guy is expecting me to trudge through the muddy valleys and icy peaks of uptight counter-culture cinema to seek out and pull “good” movies from the depths of the unknown?

That’s fine–ill just keep listening to my music and appreciating still art as I’ve been doing for the last 20+ years of my adult life.

No amount of tariffs will make me interested in watching the stuff that American companies have been putting out since 2020. I’m not even looped into the movie industry enough to care which ones were foreign in the first place. Movies are entirely optional and I am totally fine just sitting them out entirely lol.

If anything, this will simply push movie theaters even further from my realm of interest all together.

Yeah, and I think everyone has forgotten that even the cheap, easily broken stuff helps us save money. I’ll happily buy the cheap 100 dollar Chinese tool to fumble with for an extra couple hours on a one-time car repair that saves me 500 dollars compared to the only American option, or 900 dollars going to a shop instead.

Things are just going to end up broken and unfixable in the non-industrial world too.

I never see more cops than when I go to Texas. It’s insane
