So THAT'S what he meant by reducing the cost of drugs by 1500%. I misunderstood "reduce" to mean "lower"

If he throws tariffs of 1750% on them, then drops them to 250%, he will claim he lowered prices and the cult will eat it up. You’ve heard of girl math, this is Trump math.

It’s a joke about how some women justify spending money on silly things. They have boy math and dog math and all sorts of different “math” for people justifying their guilty pleasures. https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZT6f4gAXs/ This is one of the first results from searching girl math on TikTok.

jadedlens00@reddit

Kinda. The main use for girl math on TikTok has been that a lot of women tend to reduce their stated number of sexual partners by a third. So if a woman says she’s had 5 partners, the real number could be closer to 15.

He wants to eliminate collective bargaining that other countries have entered into with pharmaceutical companies. He thinks if other countries are paying less, big pharma charges us more. He has no idea how many people will die because of this. He thinks it’s just “the fat drug”

"**CHENOWETH:** One of the things that isn’t in our book, but that I analyzed later and presented in a [TEDx Boulder talk in 2013](https://youtu.be/YJSehRlU34w), is that a surprisingly small proportion of the population guarantees a successful campaign: just 3.5 percent. That sounds like a really small number, but in absolute terms it’s really an impressive number of people. In the U.S., it would be around 11.5 million people today. Could you imagine if 11.5 million people — that’s about three times the size of the 2017 Women’s March — were doing something like mass noncooperation in a sustained way for nine to 18 months? Things would be totally different in this country."

1/2 a world away with completely different motivations. They saw the West as infidel invaders, and if they died trying to kill them then they go to heaven. Same with Vietnam. Not the same as in America at all. Even the civil war you had states against states. There is nothing to back it up, the organization would just be classified as terrorists. Media would be manipulated and the various jails would be filled with political prisoners. Much better to create an alternate economy (we are going to need it any how) and watch them implode.

I think this isn’t so true anymore. Immediately during/after Covid, we saw a shift in worker rights and demands because people were straight up saying screw this, not worth it. So while I do believe in the sentiment that these corporations are always about the bottom dollar, I think they have prepared for this in the back of their minds already. They have been making record profits year over year and will assume people hit a breaking point to sit out work of work a day or two and maybe even a week and not purchase things here and there. The fact of the matter is.. they KNOW people are stretched so thin that they couldn’t do anything for a prolonged period of time. I’m not try to discourage us from trying as it’s better than sitting around letting them bend us over. I think the difference is they know it took a pandemic where health systems were immediately overwhelmed and people were getting sick really quick and dying relatively fast enough for people to make the decision that working for a few bucks was just not worth it. What we’re seeing now is much slower and people are all getting desperate at different times as oppose to everyone all at the same time..

Sure, but we’d also see a lot more militias formed that are loyalists to the Trump regime, and that would mean we’d probably see a genocide in this country akin to Bosnia or Rwanda. Yea they’ll be military doing some mild crimes against its civilians, but right wing militias will take it to the point of dragging anyone that they suspect isn’t on board with MAGA, or an ethnic demographic they don’t like, into the street to put them to sleep. Look at what happened during Katrina, as an example. Vigilante groups of white people that believe they were on the side of first responders using unnecessary deadly force against black people they perceived as “looters.” It would be the same but on a massive scale.

Nah. The vast majority of those private fire arms aren't automatic weapons. There's almost no anti tank weapons or artillery, or mortars. Your Fallujah comparison is lacking because they had shitloads of AKMs (enough for the US to issue a rule in Iraq for households only legally able to have 1 AK per home) There were thousands of RPG7 rocket launchers and thousands of mortars floating around. Iraq had conscription and most of the male populace had been trained on a minimum level with these weapons. Private gun ownership - about half of those guns can be comfortably assured to be in the hands of more than willing self appointed death squads for maga - 2A isn't gonna stop the US military. Artillery and HIMARs paired with drones are immune to AR15s and hunting rifles. The US took laughably small casualties in both battles for Fallujah compared to the opposition, and frankly shockingly low for all of military history. It was a brutal battle to be sure but it also was a clear military victory. The city *was cleared* and the only way any uprising in America would ever even have close to the firepower the insurgency had would require A military unit defecting (maybe... Then those weapons aren't sustaining either, you'll need a supply..) Storming a base that has arms stockpiles (isn't going to happen unless the post is small enough or the weapons aren't that important) They're taken off dead troops. Most likely solution, but again that's not a long term solution, at all. None of the above, by the way solve the problems of armor, artillery, air support, even mortars. See all those are *crew served* weapons, and many require a lot of training. Even the 'simpler' like a mortar team still needs a team and a lot of math to figure out where the rounds will land. TL;DR Half those gun owners you cite are bootlickers and will be active enemies, the rest of us if we ever get the balls will be crushed easily by the US military. It's not 1776 and there's no foreign support.

That they do however it's worth noting that the majority of the capabilities of our armed forces are centered around engaging another state in a war. That means another entity that also has tanks, planes, and satellites. That is where the majority of our warfighting capabilities are centered because that's what conflict has consisted of for most of the 20th century. We've learned a lot about asymmetric warfare since our time in Iraq and Afghanistan and one of the key takeaways has been just having tanks and battleships is not enough to win against even a much smaller and more poorly armed opponent. A battleship or a bomber is great if you're going after targets that you don't particularly care about but they don't do you a whole hell of a lot of good when your targets are in an urban setting mixed in with people that you, the commander, are accountable to. Flattening a city block is fine in Overthereastan because you can shrug and call the sixty civilians you killed "collateral damage" and no one gives a shit. If you do that here, you seriously damage perceptions about you among the civilians who then are going to get upset with you. Maybe they manage to bring enough political pressure on you to get you ousted, maybe they start helping the rebels, or maybe they pick up guns of their own and join in. You killed fifteen fighters in that strike but in so doing you may have created thirty more. Even drones are of mixed utility in that circumstance. It's also worth noting that the US is several orders of magnitude larger than the areas that drones have typically operated in during conflict in the Middle East. And lest we forget, these drones are not exactly immune from attacks. There's also not a lot a drone can do in places with large amounts of tree cover...like over a billion acres of the US.

Ok so what is stopping them from just cutting supply lines to major cities and urban areas? Where are the bullets and food for the uprising going to come from? I mentioned drones purely for artillery spotting purposes, not their unique uses overseas. However Ukraine is very much a lesson to anyone else out there as thats the most modern high intensity war since Korea early 50s worldwide. No one is talking about battleships here. I am talking about artillery which has consistently killed in modern wars from WW1 to present * 70% of all war dead * In an insurgency artillery may not account for the amounts of dead on the Goliath side, but the insurgency guerilla side definitely will suffer. Where is the US civilian populations RPGs? Artillery? Pray tell, fine it's an insurgency, what are the insurgents going to do to Apache gunships? There's perhaps 10 man pad sams in not military hands in the US if I'm being super generous in a estimate, they're super rare. That's not going to stop control of the skies. It's not just bombers. It's helicopters and planes and drones everywhere. You're not shooting them down with AR15s, not even most drones. I think far too many people conflate the US or USSR growing war weary and leaving an insurgency as an idea that insurgencies always work. That is *not* the same as if the insurgency is in the country the militaries home is - they can't get tired of it and fuck off back to America if it's in America right? Even the lost wars against insurgencies the US had, they would have just continued basically for decades if the US had kept its men there. The US and USSR for that matter were not being forcibly evicted.. Which brings me to my final point. All these insurgencies had massive amounts of foreign aid coming into them. I find that insanely unlikely given the US military would interdict that as much as possible and it would put the intervening country at high war risk. Again it's not arms to the mujahideen or viet Cong in a third country. It'd be intervening in a civil war. We will have to agree to disagree. I hope you're right

The same applies to any insurgency frankly. It'd be very easy to do the same as done in Vietnam and forcibly evacuate areas that have any activity and declare them free fire zones.

The problem is that this math doesn’t account for the fact that not everyone in the population would be fighting back. Remove elderly, disabled, children, plus a large proportion who would be unwilling, like afraid to leave children/elderly/disabled. Plus lack of weapons/gear for large proportions of civilians. Then factor in the lack of organization of the general population vs the organization of the military. Even basic level preparedness and organization is going to make a huge difference. Start factoring all that in and I bet the ratio swings to a much less favorable ratio for the general population.

Here’s a brief synopsis: Sure! Here’s a 4chan-style greentext post starting with that phrase and tone: ⸻ Let’s take a look at just raw numbers. The entire United States military (including clerks, nurses, generals, cooks, etc) ~1.3 million active duty ~800k in reserves Total: ~2.1 million if you activated literally everyone Population of the US: 330+ million That’s one soldier per ~157 civilians And that’s not counting how many of those troops are non-combat roles How many are infantry or direct combat arms? Maybe 15-20% max So realistically it’s more like 1 actual trigger-puller per 700+ people Now imagine trying to occupy your own country with that logistics nightmare civilians armed to the teeth 300+ million guns in private hands terrain they know better than you no clear front lines every Waffle House a potential ambush site Even assuming total loyalty of the military (lol) it’s still not nearly enough bodies to control the population Every time someone LARPs about martial law or civil war they forget that raw numbers matter Occupying Fallujah was hard with total air superiority and armor support Try doing that in a city of 5 million pissed-off Americans with hunting rifles mfw “they’re gonna take over the country with the military”

AI The pharmaceutical industry is reacting with strong concern and pushback to President Trump’s new tariffs targeting imported pharmaceuticals, which could reach as high as 200%–250% over the next 18 months. Here’s a summary of how the industry is taking the news and what the main issues are: **Industry Reaction:** Pharmaceutical companies and their trade groups are warning that these tariffs will drive up drug prices for American patients, squeeze profit margins, and disrupt the global drug supply chain. Many companies, including giants like Eli Lilly and Johnson & Johnson, have already started scenario planning and are considering how to adapt, but they say the proposed 12–18 month grace period is not enough time to move manufacturing to the U.S. (which usually takes 4–5 years) \[[CNBC](https://www.cnbc.com/2025/07/11/trump-200percent-pharma-tariffs-threaten-to-push-up-drug-prices-hit-margins.html)\]. **Key Concerns:** * **Higher Drug Prices:** Analysts estimate that even a 25% tariff could increase U.S. drug prices by $51 billion annually. A 200% tariff would have a much larger impact, likely making many medicines unaffordable for patients \[[CNBC](https://www.cnbc.com/2025/07/11/trump-200percent-pharma-tariffs-threaten-to-push-up-drug-prices-hit-margins.html)\]. * **Supply Chain Disruption:** Many drugs and ingredients are made overseas. Tariffs could cause shortages and delays, especially for critical or specialty medicines \[[CNBC](https://www.cnbc.com/2025/07/08/trump-threatens-pharmaceutical-tariffs-200.html)\]. * **Investment Deterrence:** The industry says every dollar spent on tariffs is a dollar not invested in U.S. manufacturing or new drug development. Companies warn that tariffs could actually deter the very domestic investment Trump wants to encourage \[[CNBC](https://www.cnbc.com/2025/07/08/trump-threatens-pharmaceutical-tariffs-200.html)\]. * **Uncertainty:** The lack of clarity about which countries and products will be affected is causing ongoing uncertainty, which is already having a negative impact on planning and investment decisions \[[CNBC](https://www.cnbc.com/2025/07/11/trump-200percent-pharma-tariffs-threaten-to-push-up-drug-prices-hit-margins.html)\]. **Industry Statements:** PhRMA, the main U.S. pharma lobbying group, called the tariffs “counterproductive,” arguing that medicines have historically been exempt from tariffs because of the risk of higher costs and shortages. They say the industry shares the goal of revitalizing U.S. manufacturing but that tariffs will make it harder, not easier \[[CNBC](https://www.cnbc.com/2025/07/08/trump-threatens-pharmaceutical-tariffs-200.html)\]. **Bottom Line:** The pharmaceutical industry is not happy and is warning of serious negative consequences for patients, prices, and innovation if these tariffs go into effect as proposed. Most companies are hoping for carve-outs, delays, or a change in policy before the highest tariffs are implemented.

Cool. So a 3-month supply of medication I have to take due to a genetic condition that costs $1600 will now cost $4000 (think it’s made in France). That’s almost an entire month’s take-home from my salary. Thankfully the manufacturer has a discount card program that lowers the price to $30, but I’m concerned whether they’ll continue to offer the program if this tariff goes into effect.

I feel like with the number mentally ill folks that have either plotted or tried to perform a socially distant dental cleaning for public officials or impromptu bonfire celebration at their offices, there would be a vested interest in not adding to the number of suddenly unmedicated Americans with a chip on their shoulder because of all the other bullshit. Then again, I don't think any thinking actually went into this.

Most generics are manufactured in India and China. This will mean the price for generics will go up significantly affected disproportionately the elderly.

How many of you have yourself or a loved one on life saving medication? Insulin, heart meds, seizure medications? How long could they last without them? We all know trump is a clown with his tariffs but prices on food and just about everything else has gone up in price. Due to his actions. Please take this seriously.

Yes, but you must understand. Germany is subsidizing drugs to make them cheaper for their citizens. Because of that, the US companies make less profit and therefore have to compensate with raising the prizes in the US for it. That's unfair for the US Citizen!!!!1!1!1!1

Foreign manufacturers need to just stop exporting to the United States. They will lose revenue for a while until they find replacement customers.

Covid revealed a major weakness that when international pushes come to shoves, China is going to look after China and screw over anyone else in their way. Anything that is critical that we can't live without, needs to have at least some amount of domestic production. Yes, insurance policies are going to cost you, but the day you need to use that policy, it's worth it's weight in gold.
