Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick said Sunday that the administration’s decision Friday night to exempt a range of electronic devices from tariffs implemented earlier this month was only a temporary reprieve, with the secretary announcing that those items would be subject to “semiconductor tariffs” that will likely come in “a month or two.”
“All those products are going to come under semiconductors, and they’re going to have a special focus type of tariff to make sure that those products get reshored. We need to have semiconductors, we need to have chips, and we need to have flat panels – we need to have these things made in America. We can’t be reliant on Southeast Asia for all of the things that operate for us,” Lutnick told “This Week” co-anchor Jonathan Karl.
Why do you make it sound like showing up for half a day and casting a vote is some ultimate sacrifice. That is the minimum duty of a citizen.
You ignore the electoral college (i.e. an entire state swinging for one candidate and conpletely overruling your vote), you also ignore voter suppression tactics, including restrictive and cost prohibitive ID laws and roll purges. In some parts of the US it is seriously difficult for certain groups, especially the poor, to exercise this right. Merely transportation issues alone can be super prohibitive. They explicitly close polling stations in certain areas and fuck with transportation services for this. They push back against early and mail in voting. People have to work during that day. They have kids and lives.
This is well known in America. Get off your smug high horse.
