> importers must declare the exact amount of steel, copper, and aluminum in products, with a 100% tariff applied to these materials. This makes little sense—PCBs, for instance, contain copper traces, but the quantity is nearly impossible to estimate.

Wow this administration is f**ing batshit insane. I thought the tariffs would be on raw metals, not anything at all that happens to contain them.

It's reasons why this that I refuse to associate with Republicans in my daily life anymore. They are undeserving of respect or decency for how they continue to make our lives worse.

Haven't people been saying this for a decade now? The democrats purity tests make this test for copper look like child's play.

I’m genuinely interested in which “purity tests” you are referring to. I’m all for bi-partisan ridicule if it’s warranted.

Isn't it better to argue the content than ad hominem the source?

Hold on I will have an LLM write a 40-page rebuttal and when you don't read it I'll accuse you of ad homineming the AI.

Well, either you've just invalidated the concept of ad hominem being bad, or you haven't. Which is it?

False dilemma. I have illustrated that distrusting slop and a propaganda magazine isn't ad hominem.
