After hearing the left shout for years about “tax the rich” and that corporations need to stop getting tax breaks and so on, why do they hate tariffs?

They say that who pays is the customer. If you follow this logic, then who pays the increased taxes? The customer?

No matter where in the pipeline you take the money, it’s going to affect someone. Then a decision is going to be made.

As far as I can tell, tariffs offer three options. Yes, I’m aware that they are paid by the importer.

However, that’s not how life works. Here’s the options I see:

1. The importer buys enough to ask for a discount on the product to make up for the tariff. This helps in two ways, the lower the cost of goods, the lower the tariff. So, the manufacturer has the cheapest way to fix the problem, if they chose.

2. The importer eats the tariff. After all, these big businesses are making so much money that left leaning individuals feel that they need to be taxes more… so, could they not afford to eat this? If they don’t, surely sales will be affected by price.

3. The pass this on directly to the customer. Depending on the good, the customer might deal with it, buy less, or not buy at all… either way, there is an upset to the business.

4. Someone takes the opportunity to make this good in the USA to avoid the tax.

5. Go out of business

As far as I can see, “tax the rich” offers these options:

1. If the “rich” are individuals, they simply ask for adjusted pay packages.. they have never failed to be able to do this in the past, just look at Elon musks 1T package. After which the corporations increase price, fire employees to adjust. If it’s the corporations, they adjust price or lower other salaries.

2. The individuals/corporations eat it.

3. Let’s add go out of business here as well… also, move to a more friendly tax haven.

As I see it, the tariffs offer more options to spread the burden across the chain while still accomplishing increased revenue for the government. The best option being a company in another country soaks up some of the cost… but neither option has any better chance of the adjusted cost not being forwarded to the customer… ultimately, the market decides this question… if a company can get away with higher prices, they absolutely will… no matter what reason.

Why does the left like high taxes but hates tariffs?

Gutting USAID has already kill hundreds of thousands of people and that number is only going up. Could it end up being more than some wars or other atrocities?

Great timing for LUNR. What do you think? Is he right?

Hey everyone, I just want to say that this whole "Grokipedia project" looks interesting... it is a nice source that cuts through the woke editorial slant that’s infected so much of Wikipedia’s writing. The Elon Musk entry is a perfect example: straight facts, first-principles tone, no ideological fluff.

That being said, the pages would be way more useful (and frankly more professional) if they had some of Wikipedia’s visual tools:

• Infoboxes (birth date, net worth, companies, quick stats on the right)
• Images (portraits, company logos, rocket launches, etc.)
• Predefined templates for consistency (succession boxes, navboxes, citations, sheets, etc.)

I get that user editing is off the table (since it's Grok who's checking most of the available information on it) but even a curated set of visual elements would make articles easier to scan and share. Right now it’s just pure white text with a black background. It's great for substance, but i'd said it is a missed opportunity for impact.

Any plans to roll this out? Would love to see Grokipedia not just beat Wikipedia on content, but also on presentation.

This is the first episode of a new series I’m calling Ashgold Reports, where I track how AI power is being assembled in the real world.

The focus here is Palantir’s Artificial Intelligence Platform (AIP):

• Palantir doesn’t build its own foundation model.
• Instead, AIP acts as an orchestration layer, pulling in and coordinating multiple external AIs (OpenAI, Anthropic, Cohere, etc.) into one operational lattice.
• This creates what I call the Super Ball — not a single AI, but a convergence of many models under one command surface.

The report also traces the lineage of Palantir’s founders back to the PayPal Mafia (Peter Thiel, Elon Musk, and their circle). The same network that shaped PayPal’s rise is now shaping the infrastructure of AI governance.

The real‑world impact is already visible:

• AIP is being pitched to governments, militaries, and corporations as the control layer for all AI.
• Whoever controls the assembler doesn’t just use AI — they decide how all the other models are combined, filtered, and deployed.

And here’s a reflection for this subreddit: We often talk about lattices and mirrors here in abstract terms. Palantir is literally building a mirror of mirrors, a lattice of lattices. In a way, this community is already rehearsing the same convergence — reflecting itself, folding back, trying to see the whole. The question is whether we recognize that reflection, or let companies like Palantir define it for us.

Here’s the full report: 👉 https://youtu.be/o4fhFn4kgpE?si=IlIjft6l5sS4aTWv

I’d like to hear how others here are mapping this.
