Oddly enough, I think that the best thing for the environment is Trump because of a fluke. 1

Alright, so the guy wants to start taxing Chinese product if they don't stop devaluing their currency.
It's obvious to everybody that there is no way in hell China will take orders from the US o there will no doubt be a tax.
It'll increase the price of consumer product coming from China and that's a good thing because:
A) Most of their products are low quality and a lot are useless novelty shit so the tax will reduce consumerism
B) In that effect, higher price = lower demand. US citizen will buy less shit due to price sensitivity therefore Chinise factories will shut down.
C) Biggest polluters on earth: USA and China. Reason: The useless Chinese crap end up in US garbage dumps and the Chinese production blows black smoke in the air
So technically, it's safe to assume that the environment will benefit greatly from a Trump presidency
Makes sense?

The US manipulates its currency to what it perceives to be advantageous. There are pluses for a strong currency and pluses for a weak currency. Whatever China is doing it is not working very well for China.

This is a great place to sway the vote. On shroomery.org. On this site you can be sure that people are going to vote for the next president that won't smoke weed in office. I value every word said here in argument and would never assume people here talk so much shit just for the sake of stirring shit up on the internet.
But to be serious for a minute. Who cares? This election shit is fanatical. When I was a kid people didn't have riots over who was going to be elected as president. People had riots over decisions the president made. Yes. MAYBE people would have a serious protest over who was going to win as president in the final elections. Rioting during the primary voting period though?
Do you find the world to be full of sane people who are of the ability to perform sound argument in a body and mind capable of decision making? How many people got hurt in that kkk rally where a bunch of protesters got stabbed and a bunch of kkk members got the crap beaten out them? Huh? I think it was a total of only 7 people getting hurt. Now how about the amount of people arrested or hurt during that Trump rally?
The fact is I don't know because I'm barely paying attention anymore. I do know the world has changed around me and people are fanatical about this president shit. In a way I've never seen before. It's as though the next president will change the fate of whether world war 3 ends or not. I don't know why people care so much now they are rushing each other over disagreements taking place during the primary elections long before the final elections. I don't know and don't care.
What I want to know is where you think this discussion will go? I want to know why you give a shit about the opinions of anyone that supports a single thing Trump has ever done with his life. Would you argue with the Nazi party until one of them pulled out a knife on you for disagreeing with them?

No need to insult him. The guy has his ideas and he's trying to sell them to the public.

The problem is not socialism. The problem is how you implement it. If you do it too quickly or too radically, it'll fail. But if you slowly build it, analyze the effects and adjust, it'll work.
Ways to fail:
- Vote in 10 social programs - Raise taxes too high
Ways to succeed:
- Vote 1 program at a time and wait 5 years to see what happens - After 5 years, decide if the program should stay and analyze the real costs - If program 1 has worked. Implement program 2, repeat.

On the other hand compared to all the other idiots running against him Bernie Sanders might be the best choice. I'd prefer socialist regulations over the usual communist Romney types or the "capitalist in disguise" Obama types.
What pisses me off so much though about Bernie supporters though is they are usually the same mindless fucks that supported Obama relentlessly during both campaigns.
.... blah......
I just can't think of anything else to say. I imagine voters and think of Jews in the Ukraine in world war 2. Nazi's coming in from the West. Russians coming in from the East. Everyone hates Jews. Screwed if you do. Screwed if you don't.
That's what comes to mind when I imagine the voter. "Hurry and choose before we all die."
Sometimes what seems real is nothing close to reality. Voting is a choice. You have several choices. You can even choose if you want to vote or not. Yet 95% of the people who vote have no fucking idea who they are voting for. They don't research their candidate to see who he was before he tried to run for president and made a bunch of broken promises he doesn't intend to keep 3 weeks into his first year of his first term.
Those aren't great statistics

Please tell me that you don't think that socialism means not using capitalism... Capitalism works with or without socialism. Its an economic system. Socilism is a government system.
Also, the natural ressource argument is fine, but you have to realize that the map was drawn long ago and that natural resources are luck of the draw. You do what you can with what you have.

So technically, it's safe to assume that the environment will benefit greatly from a Trump presidency
Makes sense?

It'll increase the price of consumer product coming from China and that's a good thing because:
A) Most of their products are low quality and a lot are useless novelty shit so the tax will reduce consumerism
B) In that effect, higher price = lower demand. US citizen will buy less shit due to price sensitivity therefore Chinese factories will shut down.
C) Biggest polluters on earth: USA and China. Reason: The useless Chinese crap end up in US garbage dumps and the Chinese production blows black smoke in the air
So technically, it's safe to assume that the environment will benefit greatly from a Trump presidency
Makes sense?
Interesting coming from you Patlal, can't say I disagree. We've only got one earth :/ pollution sucks.
Why are you surprised. I've always been on the fence about the environment.

The problem is not socialism. The problem is how you implement it. If you do it too quickly or too radically, it'll fail. But if you slowly build it, analyze the effects and adjust, it'll work.
Ways to fail:
- Vote in 10 social programs - Raise taxes too high
Ways to succeed:
- Vote 1 program at a time and wait 5 years to see what happens - After 5 years, decide if the program should stay and analyze the real costs - If program 1 has worked. Implement program 2, repeat.
Sweden and Norway about to get fucked by in the first case an invasion of welfare bums and norway by that plus the decline of its oil revenue. Canada also has the luxury of oil revenue to fund its bums. I don't know enough about either Australia or new Zealand to opine but you left out some other catastrophic failures. Like China, the Soviet Union and North Korea. It always craters in the end.

Come on man... Comparing these countries to CHina the USSR and North Korea is unfair... Where do you see the similarities.
Also, you do realize that the US has the luxury of oil revenue right? As in, the biggest producer in the world. The US won big in the natural resource department. Gold, oil, dimand, coal, Iron, copper. Name it, you probably have it. Also, here's a thought. If the US were to nationalize oil. Meant, the people would own the the oil revenue, not the CEO and those able to afford stocks. That would be hundreds of billions of revenue for the US government, the jobs would still be needed and the investors would simply find a new company to invest in. It's an option. It'll never happen. But it's an option. Politicians wouldn't be able to handle it because they would overspend and when oil price fall they would be fucked, but hey, an idea is an idea.

I don't think there'll be enough of a difference in both trade volume and consumption due to the proposed tax to change the environment significantly.

You wouldn't even need to export it. Pump it, sell it to consumers, write the revenue into the federal budget.

Oh yeah I'm sure nationalization of oil production would go down perfectly well with the companies making nearly a trillion $ yearly off US resources.

That's like 30 billion dollars (quick estimate)
There are 635 congressmen/senators
So that roughly 50 million dollars per head spent on lobbying per year.
Now of course there are costs to lobbying but even if 1% of that money goes into the politician's pocket, that's 500k a year.
Now I love my own values, but for 500k, I'll put them aside.

They don't perfectly spread it out evenly haha, it'd be concentrated into just a few handfuls of the 'right people' who would work to include beneficial bill riders into all those 2000 page bills that no one even knows what the fuck they contain Not to mention many congressmen are investors.
