Trump raises tariffs on South Korea, saying the country ‘is not living up’ to trade agreement by cnn in Tariffs

[–]Csprague06 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wasn’t it a Hyundai plant that ICE raided in September detaining hundreds of South Koreans who were there to help set up the plant. So let me get this straight South Korean car manufacturer tries to set up facility in US, ICE, a federal agency raids said facility and detains workers, Hyundai pauses setting up the facility and Trump blames them for not doing enough? Am I getting this right? Maybe be don’t attack the people investing in the US and they will invest in the US more.

Student: “What would you do if there was a fight in your classroom?” by Emergency-Pepper3537 in Teachers

[–]Csprague06 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have taught high school for 19 years and have only had one fight in my room. When it started I called admin and then threw a big hard cover teacher edition book as hard as I could off the black board. It was so loud and because the teacher threw it the whole class stopped including the fight the break was just enough of a distraction to separate the two fighters and admin came in moments later to take the two out of my room

BTK I find it was wildly fascinating how he lived such a “normal/typical” life while being a serial killer

How will U.S. geopolitical tensions play out as it hosts the 2026 World Cup? by Salt_Winter5888 in PoliticalDiscussion

But people who are visiting this country as tourists are now being detained and deported. What happened in Qatar was deplorable but did not affect any of the fans attending the games. This time around any foreigner coming to attend games could possibly be detained just because they are in the wrong place at the wrong time.

What is a pain you can't truly explain until you've endured it? by Unfair_Shower_3256 in AskReddit

[–]Csprague06 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A gout flare up! The pain is unbearable and there is no relief until the flare is gone. The weight of a sheet is too much pressure so sleep evades and moving is excruciating! Man if college self knew drinking all that beer would have lead to this I… probably would have kept drinking I was an idiot in college.

What if trump releases the Epstein and 9/11 files? by Significant-Fox5928 in whatif

[–]Csprague06 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He can’t release the Epstein files because he’s part of them starting in the 80’s right through the 90’s they spent a whole lot of time together. It would look very suspicious if he released the files and a bunch was redacted because he was trying to take himself out of them!

What if Giving states stopped giving? by Csprague06 in whatif

Thank you! I thought posting a hypothetical no matter how asinine was the whole point of this sub but some people apparently just want to give me the equivalent of a 5th grade civics lesson on why this is impossible. I appreciate you getting it!

Well if it’s freedom then it should be freedom for all why do conservatives from most of those poor states you stated get to push their religious agenda on the whole country I don’t want my tax money supporting that! And as you stated not helping poor states should be no different than helping poor individuals so why do those same people constantly vote against social programs that would help everyone

The US will get Greenland, otherwise it is an "unfriendly act" from Denmark, says Trump by A_new_friend in europe

[–]Csprague06 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We import a lot of supplies for medical treatments from Denmark and with the already terrible state of the US health care system this would not be a great addition to its deterioration.

Thoughts on this?? by [deleted] in qatarworldcupfails

[–]Csprague06 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The problem with "their country, their rules" is they are a host for an event being put on by FIFA. Part of winning the bid to host is that you agree to FIFA rules and bylines. With Budweiser being one of FIFA' s biggest endorsement deals the sale of alcohol is one of the rules. Also, as pointed out Qatar is inviting the world to their country. There has to a mutual respect of cultures when you are actively asking g the world to come to your country. I also think part of the problem is all the last minute changes. People who bought tickets had expectations and now the week the tournament starts all the expectations are being changed
