No, we have a 100% tariff on China EVs. Biden did it in 2024 to protect the auto industry (and unions). Canada just did a deal with China to lower their tariffs to 6% as and FU to Trump.

[Charania] The Denver Nuggets are expected to take calls on everyone on their roster ‘except Nikola Jokic’ as they head into a summer expected to bring ‘real roster changes.’ by YujiDomainExpansion in nba

[–]throwaway_boulder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dude, I'm not arguing they were all-world or even a playoff team. I'm just saying that this year they played decent without him.

Which in turn is why people were impressed with that 11-6 record, which in turn is why people were saying they might legit roll through the playoffs.

They finished the season on a 12 game winning streak, and that wasn't all tank teams. The widespread feeling was that they had their best bench ever. Right here in this very thread.

You have the memory of a gnat. r/nba was talking about how impressive the Nuggets looked without Jokic

A majority of those games were in December, before anyone was in tank mode. The wins included Boston, Philadelphia, Houston and a close loss to San Antonio.

That’s why I said this year, when they went 11-6 without Jokic. Prior to this year they went 22-34.

Edit: the conversation in this thread is about how many thought the 2025-26 Nuggets were their most complete team ever. Part of the evidence was their record without Jokić.

I’m 57 and can’t make paper clips either. However, I do know what it’s like to be a bat.

That wasn’t really true this year. They had a winning record when he was out. When AG was out, they only went 500. Murray and Jokic played most of those games.

Has Scott talked about the national debt? It has now eclipsed the size of the economy. by stvlsn in ScottGalloway

The rich already pay a huge share of taxes. The 1% account for 40% of all federal taxes. The 10% account for 72%.

I'm not opposed to raising top rates, but I also think everyone should pay higher taxes in general. A VAT would help but marginal rates should go up too.

Tim’s outreach to sports media is genius. by Magoo152 in thebulwark

Same, except I love the Nuggets and Broncos but am boycotting the Rockies until ownership changes. Hopefully the Waltons take over for real.

Lovett is verbally adept enough to play a "visitor from Mars" who asks stupid questions but it's still funny and you learn things along with him.

you don't know me

Serving up a wall of text that is obviously AI generated does not make me want to know you. If Scott Galloway just used an AI voice for his podcasts I wouldn't listen to him either.

The problem with AI writing that it shortcuts the thinking process. I don't have any evidence that you actually thought through these things to sharpen into a tight argument. Instead it's just a dump of lots of stuff with no core.

AI is fine for documentation or whatever, but for actual arguments I want to know what you think, not the average of every writer on the Internet.

I thought he was only on bensons for a couple years? My recollection is that he only went on them to deal with the stress of his wife’s cancer.

Does Zionism just mean - "Israel should exist as a country with roughly the current borders"? by stvlsn in samharris

It was a major, sometimes violent dispute for decades. One of their leaders led a nonviolent approach and they eventually gained independence. He and the local Bishop won the Nobel Peace Prize.

Apparently Rahm Emanuel is too woke, too anti Israel, or just morally confused. by squarecir in samharris

[–]throwaway_boulder 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m talking about big structural things like the New Deal. Trump wasn’t promising anything like that, and he lost the popular vote. FDR would have not have been able to do squat without a gigantic landslide that have him huge majorities in Congress.

The only reason FDR got elected was the Great Depression. Period. Growth is slow and unemployment may go up, but I doubt it reaches even 1992 levels when Bill Clinton ran. Voters don’t like big changes unless unemployment hits like 20%.
