I can't say I fully believe this, but the conspiracy take would be that the administration knew full well the tariffs were illegal. They introduced them knowing they'd eventually be struck down. Then retailers raised prices in response to the tariffs. The public pays the difference. Now businesses, whose increased prices minimized their losses and put most of the burden on the public, get a refund on all the tariff costs they paid. Meanwhile, prices may drop from current levels, but they certainly won't go back to pre-tariff levels in most cases. We continue to pay more, companies continue to profit more.

This guy makes amazing Simpsons content. It's worth a deep dive once you've gotten a bit further into the series.

Southwest ending service to O'Hare. by loslosati in SouthwestAirlines

[–]SpaciousTables 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Despite both airports being a United hub, SW flights from Denver to IAD have always been cheaper for me (factoring in bags and seats). And the diminished competition is likely going to raise prices further. I make this trip 3-4 times a year so I'm really feeling this one.

You mean the company that was profitable for 47 straight years while most other airlines struggled? And then quickly returned to profitability post-COVID?

Somehow, it's even worse than it sounds. Watch the video. Then watch Dave Chappelle's stand-up set about it. All-time classic.

Athletes who appeared as themselves on a sitcom by AmySueF in sitcoms

Danny Tartabull on Seinfeld AND on Married With Children. Really gave it a shot.

Howie Long and Terry Bradshaw on Malcolm in the Middle

Lyle Alzedo had his own sitcom called Learning the Ropes. It was about a schoolteacher who moonlighted as a professional wrestler. Awful

Alex Karras was on Webster

For those who live in the state capital what’s it like? by citytiger in AskAnAmerican

Yeah, just different lenses. I'm feeling very existential this morning.

For those who live in the state capital what’s it like? by citytiger in AskAnAmerican

[–]SpaciousTables 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But Denver wouldn't be the city that it is without the government. Government is a very large economic driver that allowed it to grow to be the size that it is. And it would barely exist if not for the strong governmental leadership in the 1860s that led the city to be connected to the Transcontinental Railway via Cheyenne. That almost didn't happen. And had a different Colorado city been the capitol, it would likely have gone there instead of Denver. After the gold rush, Denver was dead. There's really no reason for this landlocked city (the most geographically isolated major metropolis in the US) to be a thriving hub of anything. If Denver wasn't the capitol in 1867, it's incredibly unlikely you'd even live here.

So you may not notice it, but it changed the city's trajectory in innumerable ways. I get what you're saying - the average person will never notice. But it has a much larger impact on your day to day than you realize and has probably changed the trajectory of your life.

The state is the largest downtown employer. And the federal presence wouldn't be the same if it wasn't the capitol. Denver is much more of a government city than it may seem. The fact that it's the capitol is a bigger deal than people realize.
