[00:24] IsambardPrince It's important to show solidarity and make people down here suffer a bit too so maybe they'll realize Trump was a big goddamned mistake. [00:25] IsambardPrince Most of the tourism jobs in the US are nowhere near me anyway. [00:25] IsambardPrince They're in red states because that's where the weather is usually the nicest. [00:25] IsambardPrince Unless a hurricane hits while you're down there. [00:25] MinceR i think what people need to realize is that letting some people run other people's lives was the big goddamned mistake [00:26] MinceR as long as humanity insists on keeping doing that, regardless of whether it's democracy or autocracy, it will invariable lead to disaster [00:28] IsambardPrince MinceR, Many Senate Republicans are freaking out about the tariffs. [00:29] IsambardPrince They couldn't care less about what it will do to the country, but they know they may not be the Senator of that state much longer if people start losing their jobs there. [00:29] IsambardPrince So when Tim Scott and Rand Paul don't want it, I think there might be bipartisan, maybe veto-proof support for striking them down. [00:30] IsambardPrince They could attach a nullification to the debt limit bill, or the next spending bill, both of which have to pass in the next month. [00:30] IsambardPrince MinceR, This is eerily similar to what happened in Illinois when Bruce Rauner started vetoing everything and shut the government down. [00:31] IsambardPrince Eventually the Republicans wouldn't even put up with it and the legislature just started overriding all his vetoes. [00:31] IsambardPrince Maybe it only took Trump a couple weeks. [00:31] MinceR s/ble/bly [00:31] MinceR / [00:32] IsambardPrince Trump basically counted on Congress being nothing but a foil while he did whatever he wanted to and governed illegally. [00:34] IsambardPrince He's throwing this all out there, I think...maybe, expecting none if it will stick. [00:34] IsambardPrince If it doesn't, he'll use that. He's taking them to the breaking point. [00:34] IsambardPrince He can scream, he can flush out whoever won't cooperate. [00:34] IsambardPrince He can primary them. [00:35] IsambardPrince He can claim that they're helping terrorists and fentanyl get across the border. [00:35] MinceR he can have the military kill any congress member who doesn't vote his way [00:35] MinceR what could possibly go wrong?

[01:01] IsambardPrince The biggie is that you can clear a little under $2500 USD a month. [01:01] IsambardPrince They want to encourage Americans to retire down there, which is tempting anyway since our system has jacked the price of everything up to extortion levels just to eek by." [01:01] IsambardPrince Posted that on Reddit. [01:05] IsambardPrince "Trump's executive order blamed immigrants for rising rents. [01:05] IsambardPrince I have a slumlord that came in and raised the rent by almost a third since 2022 and he's letting the place fall apart. [01:05] IsambardPrince But he did it all legally by taking advantage of the American caste system that Trump is trying to make much worse. If you get your papers (he came from India and has a business degree, pretty much bought his way into America) and take advantage of people, nobody cares. [01:05] IsambardPrince It's got nothing to do with undocumented immigrants. Even in Illinois, they're less than 5% of the State's population. If you somehow cleared them all out of here, rent wouldn't go down at all. [01:05] IsambardPrince You want to know why rent is going up. It's called a greedy landlord."

[05:34] IsambardPrince schestowitz[TR2], I really do appreciate Canada aiming for most of their retaliation to land on red states.

[05:37] IsambardPrince And their liquor control boards are pulling American liquors, beer, etc. That's going to hurt. Just Ontario I think imports over a billion in American booze each year. [05:37] IsambardPrince Illinois would do better as its own small country than as part of the federal system. [05:38] IsambardPrince If we didn't have to pay federal tax, we'd have more money to spend on ourselves. We send way more to DC than we get back, and they dole it out as FEMA aid to Florida, food stamps and medicaid to red states. [05:39] IsambardPrince Most of us really do resent the federal government and especially after Donald Trump's first term. [05:39] IsambardPrince There's only so much we can do to resist them as a state. [05:39] IsambardPrince We more or less have to let them enforce their laws here. They're trying to bully and threaten and harass our elected officials into helping ICE. [05:40] IsambardPrince They'd be able to arrest 3-4 times as many immigrants in Illinois per day if the state law enforcement was allowed to help them.

[06:23] IsambardPrince Where if you are found with a firearm on you within two years of a restraining order being issued, they can charge you with aggravated unlawful use of a firearm, a felony. [06:24] IsambardPrince I spoke with an attorney over that who said that meant two years within its expiration, not issue date, because courts decided the no contact order was "issued" every day it was in effect, so the two year clock starts after it expires, not when it was first issued. [06:25] IsambardPrince So even though I had my FOID and CCW back, I couldn't possess a firearm "on a public way". [06:25] IsambardPrince Which meant I could use one I rented at the shooting range, but as soon as I had one on a public road, I would have committed a felony. [06:26] IsambardPrince Shooting range is private property, so if you rent one that they have there and hand it back in, without leaving private property, no problem. [06:27] IsambardPrince I'm just lucky that the State Police ruled for me on my administrative appeal. I did that myself. If they rule against you, you have to go to the local judges which are all fucking Democrats. [06:27] IsambardPrince They don't care if what they do is unconstitutional, or against even state law.

[06:42] IsambardPrince Trudeau was calling on Canadians not to vacation in the US or buy US products. [06:43] IsambardPrince Sanction Microsoft. Don't buy a computer with Windows. [06:43] IsambardPrince Hitting these companies that backed Trump and hitting them hard is the only way they'll learn.

[06:52] IsambardPrince Then we suddenly start a trade war when we don't make anything and aren't set up to make anything? [06:52] IsambardPrince Seems a bit late to me. That chart at 2:34 where the factory jobs crashes around 2004, I had been in the workforce for about 2 years and all of a sudden nobody was hiring, the temp agencies were closing. [06:52] IsambardPrince The place I worked for announced that they had a hiring freeze and a huge Walmart contract, but it would all be made in China and direct shipped. Eventually Walmart cut them out, cloned the product, and went straight to China, and there was no profit for that imbecile that laid everyone off. [06:52] IsambardPrince I've been grousing about what happened to manufacturing for over 20 years.
