Lol it's cause the Boomers and Gen X are extremely vain, with the Boomers being the most vain. Lol I mean even to tie back to politics a little Trump's fake tan is very Boomerish, these are the people that invented botox after all.

Trump is in the 80s with that style and it suits him cos it's age appropriate. :ROFL:

What's "vain" - like shaving and getting a haircut?
 
It's a caricature for sure.

Hey i did mention before that this election was also a battle of the fashions.
Who will you choose?
Some tattooed in the face 'birthing person' with 100 rings in the face with hair color that's the equivalent of "throw paint at the wall like Picasso" or the beautiful and consistent hair of Trump?

OK! I'm looking forward to that!
 
That's not it, some of these young guys come to work with sweat pants. That's how the generations differences go. :ROFL:

I was going to say vain like putting pants on in the daytime but that's TMI.

It's their obsession with physical image to a pretty hilarious degree; botox, fake spray tans, plastic surgery, and frankly how touchy they get if you remind them of their age. It's actually funny enough speaking on the generations and Star Wars it's kinda like weirdly where Gen Z intersects with the Boomers cause they are extremely vain like the Boomers in almost even the same way, lol just wait until you guys find out about "mewing."

The Boomers to Millennials:

The Boomers to Gen Z:
 
Wear appropriate clothes for your age bro. Like a polo shirt, some nice shoes and even a suit and tie on occasion.
I don't do polos- button downs only. Not tucked in though- that's gay; gotta get the straight cut shirt-jack style.

Then if I'm going super-formal; the button cover in lieu of the tie.

kind of like almost everyone I see of almost any age doing selfies and looking at their poses with their cameras while some of us boomers think they're all crazy and hardly ever or ever carry a phone. and some of us who were watching the Jetsons onward are still watching all the new star-stuff with the same fascination, while just letting time take its course, trying to maintain some state of functional fitness, out of conventional medicine, and trying to remember once in awhile what day it is. watch the generalizations. forgot where I put my orange wig - maybe more yellow now.

Exactly actually, you put your finger right on it very well here. Extreme vanity over the physical appearance is the common link between the Boomers and the Zoomers, their common shared dark trait. From the inventors of the ancient relics of polaroid cameras and shot botulism into their faces to the smartphone zombie selfie obsessed generation that invented shooting chemicals into their butts so the circle is completd. Though there's four generations of shame generally speaking, tthere's really only two Sith that run the show and keep the others in line; a master and an apprentice.


May the Faith be with you, praise Jesus.
 
The statement concerning Donald Trump's claims about tariffs is a partial interpretation of his remarks, blending his public rhetoric with some external projections, but it is not entirely accurate based on official data and economic analysis.


Here is a breakdown of the claims:


1. The "Trillions of Dollars" Claim


• Official Tariff Revenue: Government data shows that the actual money collected from tariffs in a single fiscal year is in the billions, not trillions. For example, customs duties collected in Fiscal Year (FY) 2025 totaled $195 billion.


• Trump's Rhetoric: President Trump has consistently claimed the U.S. is "taking in Trillions of Dollars" from tariffs.


• Long-Term Projections: Some analyses project that the new tariffs imposed under his administration could raise a figure in the trillions of dollars over a decade (e.g., $1.8 to $3 trillion through FY 2035, depending on the model). It is possible this long-term projection is the source of the "trillions" claim, but it is not money that has already been collected.


2. Tariffs as an Investment Inducement


• The Argument: The idea that the tariffs act as a threat, compelling companies to invest "trillions of dollars" to build and create jobs in the U.S. to avoid the duties is a core part of the administration's stated policy goal. This interpretation is consistent with the President's claims of "Record Investment in the USA, plants and factories going up all over the place."


• Economic Debate: While there has been some reshoring and new investment in certain sectors, linking a "trillion-dollar" investment influx directly to the tariffs is a vast, unverified figure. Economists continue to debate the net effect of tariffs on the overall U.S. economy, including the costs to consumers and producers versus the benefits of increased domestic production.


3. The End Result and Treasury Coffers


• Money Collected: The actual revenue collected from customs duties does go into the Treasury's general fund.


• Who Pays: Mainstream economic analysis generally concludes that tariffs are paid by U.S. importers (businesses) who then largely pass the cost on to American consumers and businesses through higher prices, not primarily by foreign nations.


In summary:


• "Collected Trillions" in tariffs: False. The U.S. has collected billions in tariff revenue annually, not trillions.


• "Implementation and threat... brought in trillions": This is an unsubstantiated exaggeration of the long-term, dynamic economic effects the administration claims the tariffs are designed to achieve (more investment, less reliance on imports). While investment is a goal, there is no evidence to support a $20 trillion return.
The trillions in private investment due to the tariff policy will result in money going into the treasury coffers because trillions in private investment leads to economic growth and economic growth increases govt revenue.
