So once your labourers jobs have all been given to robots who will be able to afford what robots produce? Or will robots be satisfied making everything for free?

We’ll all be on Only Fans. Most of us are in the service sector or high skill labor. America is actually well suited to automation because we moved away from low value added manufacturing since the free trade era of the 1980s.

It seems on some level you understand you'll need more labourers per robot than robots per labourer so that consumer demand can be maintained in a manner that promotes growth.

The economy however starts to look like some weird Cornucopian perpetual ponzi machine that exists for its own sake - where its underlying engine is driven by the vast wash of humanity polishing or stroking one another's shoes, egos, knobs etc etc on Only Fan.

It's surreal but I guess I can see how it might work. I think we'll definitely need more planets.

All the “ ism” requires this. Every economic model is based on consumer heavy below and a low number of capital rich productive labor above. We’re entering the twilight zone. Has never happened in history before when everyone just decided to stop having children.

Well, maybe robots can make them instead - for capital rich consumers.

Designer babies? It’s going to happen. I do see babies being grown in test tube eventually. The technology exist now to do it.

I think he can, but apparently needs to be impeached first according to the Office of Legal Counsel's memo stating that POTUS cannot be charged while IN OFFICE.

The Constitution states a PRMARY duty of the POTUS is to "take care that the laws be faithfully executed". This means the President must ensure that laws passed by Congress are implemented and enforced by the executive branch.

Which is inconsistent with OBSTUCTING the enforcement of laws.

IOW, the DoJ won't do it. MAYBE if a judge assigns a special prosecutor.

Ur dreamin' in technicolor.

To consume or be consumed?

Who's benefiting from all this not to mention paying for it btw? Only Fan or will it all be free due to the goodness of some AI's CPU?

Another company telling Trump thanks but no thanks....we like our supply chain and investments just the way they are 🖕

Stellantis bringing back the Jeep Cherokee

Stellantis (NYSE:STLA) is reviving the Jeep Cherokee with added features and a turbo-four hybrid powertrain, aiming to reignite sales and strengthen its position in the U.S. SUV market.

“This is the biggest segment in the United States, and bringing this back into our portfolio is a perfect fit between the Compass and the Grand Cherokee,” Jeep CEO Bob Broderdorf said in an interview Friday morning on CNBC, adding that the decision to discontinue the Cherokee in 2023 was “obviously one of the largest misses from our sales decline.”

Former CEO Carlos Tavares shelved the Jeep Cherokee in 2023 as part of a cost-cutting initiative and to free up resources for EV production. Prior to the company’s decision to idle Cherokee production, sales of the vehicle were down ~61% for the first half of 2022.

But Stellantis (NYSE:STLA) is hoping the new Jeep will rekindle demand for the once iconic SUV with a new 1.6-liter turbo-four hybrid powertrain, 500 mile range on a single tank of gas, and a “technology-filled” interior that includes Stellantis’ new Connect One service package. The new model also has more interior and cargo space.

With a starting sticker price of $35,000, Stellantis (NYSE:STLA) has priced the Jeep Cherokee to compete with popular SUVs like the Honda (HMC) CR-V EX, Buick (GM) SUV lineup, and Toyota (TM) RAV4. However, the vehicle will be made at Stellantis' (STLA) Toluca, Mexico facility as a result of the closure of its prior home in Belvedere, Illinois, making the car liable for import taxes into the U.S.

I read that as moving production into Mexico and away from Canada.

You should learn how to read....or at least brush up on your geography.  Belvedere, IL is in the US.  Always has been.

With intergrated manufacturing steps in Canada yes? Look I’m not out here to make people look bad, just pointing out the truth.

You're pointing out nothing....which is why beyond this soon to be over back and forth I ignore you.

As you're brushing up on reading comprehension and geography, maybe do a word search to see where Canada is mentioned in the article.

You're pointing out

Stellantis operates three manufacturing facilities in Ontario, Canada: Brampton Assembly, Etobicoke Casting, and Windsor Assembly. The Brampton and Windsor plants are assembly plants, while the Etobicoke facility is an aluminum casting plant. Stellantis is also investing in a new electric vehicle battery plant in Windsor. Quite literally across the lake.

With higher tariff it does not make sense to manufacture in Illinois because you would have to pay tariff every time a component crosses the border. Why not just make it in one country and pay the taxes once.

Trump raises taxes across the board and even nationalizes part of Intel (with kickbacks, no doubt). So have you guys realized you aren’t conservative anymore yet? 😆

Well he didn't raise taxes across the board. 

ANd he's still vastly more conservative than Kammy.    Have you guys realized you supported a mentally defective president yet?

Tariffs are tariffs.  Taxes are taxes. If you'd said raised the prices on all goods coming into the country you might have been right but now you just look stupid. 

And considering his other tax reductions the actual cost increases to consumers after taxes is lower for many people. 

It's ok kiddo, you're a girl and a leftie. No one expects you to understand math.

Tariffs are s form of taxation. Do you get tired of making semantic arguments? They’re really boring.

No, taxes are something else. tariffs are a form of import duty, not a form of taxes.  The purposes are completely different.  They still cost people money but buying ANYTHNIG costs you money. 

That's why we have different words for them. IF they were the same thing we'd call them both the same thing  

I realize that this is hard on you. You already have trouble with words, making you use MORE of them was BOUND to confuse you.

If you look up any definition of tariff, it’s defined as a tax on imported goods. You could also argue a Cadillac is not a car because they’re totally different words. I can see how you were stupid enough to be a Trump supporter.

LOLOLOL man you just never miss a chance to look like a twat  

Import taxes are slightly different but even if you use the term import tax the tax is on importing, not on the individuals.  You claimed he "raised taxes across the board" and that would be completely false, he didn't raise taxes on anyone. 
 

LOL you're just such a loser  No wonder you can't get a man.
