Obama administration kicked off the effort to make disposable junk, in effort to recover from the "great recession". It's one of the most environmentally disasterous policies in the planets history as it drove the consumption of junk products from asia into the landfills, through the debt ridden hands of USA.

Should Trump end this policy, should we go back to "make quality last"?

I recently heard the story from a leader saying when he grew up, there was one towel and one bar of soap and everyone shared it. 1968 Volkswagen Beetles still run... 2007 Nissan Muran's are in the garbage dump. We could go back to quality, at the cost of abundance. It be easier on the planet, harder on careers/jobs.

As I have been saying before, there is major, noticeable difference here in my hometown. Normalcy is starting to return, and it is looking much less like a zoo or a little Tijuana. I have hardly seen any Guatamalans, Honduras, Venezuelans, etc... running around. Although Knoxville still has a crowd problem (mainly from Northerners and Californians), it is still not as crazy as before. I feel less threatened now too.

The Media repeatedly reports on the negative effects of tariffs, how they will raise prices, and how people are upset about that.

What the media fails to do is talk about the complete effects of tariffs. Yes, they will raise prices for American consumers... on discretionary goods that Americans purchase, goods they don't have to purchase, like gadgets from China. As prices rise, demand for those goods will fall, which causes the Law of Supply and Demand to kick in. In other words, the supplier (in a foreign country) will lower its prices to maintain a reasonable demand... and profit margin.

Over time, prices and trade amounts will stabilize, resulting in a more favorable trade balance for the receiving country, the United States (considering Trump's tariffs).

Simply put, tariffs are not the evil that the media professes them to be.

So...

Why do you think the media keeps pushing the negative effects of tariffs, ignoring their long-term benefits.

The Trump administration is using personal data normally protected from dissemination to find undocumented immigrants where they work, study and live, often with the goal of removing them from their housing and the workforce.

At HUD officials are working on a rule that would ban mixed-status households — in which some family members have legal status and others don’t — from public housing, according to multiple staffers who spoke on the condition of anonymity out of fear of retribution. Affiliates from the U. S. DOGE Service are also looking to kick out existing mixed-status households, vowing to ensure that undocumented immigrants do not benefit from public programs, even if they live with citizens or other eligible family members.

The push extends across agencies: Last week, Social Security numbers of more than 6,000 mostly Latino immigrants into a database it uses to track dead people, effectively slashing their ability to receive benefits or work legally in the United States. Federal tax and immigration enforcement officials recently reached a deal to share confidential tax data for people suspected of being in the United States illegall.

The result is an unprecedented effort to use government data to support the administration’s immigration policies. That includes information people have reported about themselves for years while paying taxes or applying for housing — believing that information would not be used against them for immigration purposes. Legal experts say the data sharing is a breach of privacy rules that help ensure trust in government programs and services.

“Information sharing across agencies is essential to identify who is in our country, including violent criminals, determine what public safety and terror threats may exist, scrub these individuals from voter rolls, as well as identify what public benefits these aliens are using at taxpayer expense,” the department’s assistant secretary for public affairs said.
