To be fair to her, she only lost because the Arizona eGOP started working with the Dems to help facilitate fraudulent elections to keep Trump-aligned candidates out (and keep Trump from winning the state's vote which worked in 2020). Same thing that happened in Georgia.

She's not a particularly strong candidate, sure, but she might have a chance since Iowa isn't quite as compromised as Arizona. But it's also possible people are tired of her.

This is a brown third world tactic and I won’t have you convince me otherwise. This isn’t a fucking Bangladeshi bazaar where we haggle. America has set prices. Set your price for what you’re willing to sell something for. You’re a piece of shit for allowing haggling.

I won’t move on this point. You act like a brown.

Land doesn't come with an MSRP. Nor do businesses (not the stuff the businesses sell, I mean the entities themselves). The largest purchases people make are absolutely going to be negotiated prices.

He looks like a gypsy who's public defender cleaned him up and bought him an off the rack suit right before his statutory rape trial.

Arizona is a joke because it's the only state that takes a month for all its votes to come in. Also people don't seem to understand how beloved she was on the news for decades. I was actually shocked when she lost.

Yeah I know he works for Shapiro and IsraelWire but I would still be unsurprised to find out Walsh posts here. He's one stiff drink away from 1488 posting on main

Damn, that sucks, man. This is like when folks said, "Learn to code. It's the job of the future!" Then AI uses all their code to replace 90% of the market. You get a Master's in Education with a Bachelor's in Biology just as schools are overtaken by radical ideologues who declare biology is fake news and boys are actually girls.

It’s not so much radical ideology here as it is ancient dinosaurs of teachers not retiring and any openings are given to the least certified people possible to save a few bucks on the school district pay sheet.

I have a question to you American friends: In your everyday life, does US seems whiter than before Trump second term ?
Click to expand...
Yes. Almost instantly, the people hanging around the busy intersections with signs and children, all disappeared in my area as soon as he won.
The area I'm in is multi cultural, mostly black, white and hispanic, but there are people from everywhere as I am not far from Chicago.

I have lived in the same area for over 30 years, and had NEVER seen as many obvious new arrivals pulling this shit. Being near Chicago, I am used to seeing people with signs, right? Black, white, brown homeless and junkies have always been a thing. You could mostly avoid the areas where this was most prevalent and it never reached the fucking Target store in the mid-income suburban location that I've been shopping at since it opened (over a decade).
Suddenly, during the Biden administration, "migrants" were fucking everywhere. On the roads on the way to the store, the turn-in for the parking lot and right outside the front doors. Mostly women with kids, sometimes grown fucking men. Fucking everywhere, I was so pissed. I'd watch them put their frowny performance face on to walk into the road at the red lights. Truly infuriating.

Now they're gone. That shit stopped instantly (in my area at least) after the 2024 election. As if the Biden administration paid them to annoy the shit out of everyone so they'd vote for Trump.

I'm starting to think that we are arguing about this with people who will never actually do this or be in a position to. Some of these haggle-spergs are talking about it like they've only ever seen it done on TV. Like a weird inverse Gel-Mann amnesia effect.

There is a time and a place for haggling, but let's not pretend that it's not relatively common for someone to be beat or killed because the other party felt they got ripped off.

I'd argue that a higher percentage people have been hurt or killed over haggling disputes over direct sales disputes because the former has a higher emotional component and people feel slighted easier and more often.

I'd argue you have it exactly backwards.

Seller sells for less, that's his choice. Getting talked into it is his fault. C'est la vie.

Buyer gets shafted for a decent chunk of change - by not haggling, and not knowing what's a deal and what's to walk away from - now you have someone who got, as you said, ripped off, and might just be mad enough to do something about it.

I bought a pedal recently, rebought actually. Wanted to buy from a local shop, and had happened upon it checking out their inventory.

Guy says - they don't usually sell used items - that it's on consignment with an employee.

"Hey, how much you want for that pedal?" I hear the guy say 40 bucks. I expect a bit above that do they can make a small profit.

Guy goes and looks up a crackpipe seller on Reverb and says "$160, see?"

"Oh, well, let me think about it, just bought a Marshall, kinda tapped." I wasn't haggling with this nigger, I wasn't whipping my phone out and showing him 3 on Guitar Center for $49 and shipping, I bought my $2 of loose picks and never went back. Fuck you, retard. You get NOTHING now.

Months later I looked it back up, and sure as water is wet, there's 3 or more for $49. Knew when to walk away, and for all I know, that other example is still gathering dust in their case. I want to support mom n pop guitar stores, but they are more often than not just such greedy assholes, worse than pawn shops. A (((true haggler))) would have tried for the love of the game.

Imagine if I was just like "oh, sure! Shut up and take my money!" and then went home and saw the GC price. I'm sure somebody has had the opposite happen, a seller goes apeshit because the silver tongued devil "ripped him off", but the outlier doesn't debunk the trend.

Newscum's inner circle is people who figure the main lesson from Trump is that being classless and abrasive to your enemies is a good thing. This is classic "dirtbag left" mentality. Think Chapo Trap House.

Houses are a competitive market so that's a non-issue if you shop around for contractors.

What are you even saying? If I want to buy a house it's standard practice to make a low ball offer to see if they'll come down on the price. That's haggling. It's polite haggling, but still haggling.

Land is literally one of a kind so that's a seller's market, so nice point you stupid daft fucking twat.

Every single seller of land exists in a state of non-perfect knowledge about the fluctuating value of land and the details are ironed out when you make the purchase which decides what the seller was actually willing to sell the land for. Every seller is going to have a price they would "like" to sell the land for just in case a retard comes along willing to pay it and a price they're "willing" to sell the land for.

Should I also point out that before you get a product on a shelf with your magical price tag there's haggling that takes place at every level of the distribution and production process you never see which is why you end up with different stores selling the same product for different prices?

Look I've got to tell you with 100% honesty, I checked out of this probably five responses ago because I'm getting bored with it.
I'm just going to say you win and everyone who's pro-haggling wins because I don't want to sit here and argue about it with you guys anymore.
I'm not going to sit here and HAGGLE about haggling with you fucking wallys :lol:

this Greenland thing is a step too far

The Greenland acquisition is both necessary and genius. You are thinking within the confines of the news cycle. Broaden it out a bit.

Trump ended up with a head start going into the next paradigm of global politics. He is already securing his nation's assets and building a foundation while the other major players are still in the drafting phase.

Assuming the USA gets Greenland, I wouldn't even bother judging the success of such a thing for at least a decade.

Even products and services businesses sell are negotiated. The difference is sales reps (and their hierarchy) are afforded wiggle room for high value/high volume sales. The wagie at your local supermarket does not.

You know what else is literally a valuable skill? Being good at stealing. You literally gain value by stealing things and not getting caught.

Now argue to me why stealing is a good thing. Because you just made the argument that nobody should speak against “valuable skills”

Like haggling. Like a fuckin jeet.

Stealing is the whitest thing ever. The word "viking" is a verb and "to go viking" means to organizing a raiding party and rob your neighbors. We are well overdue to get back to our roots and do some good viking.
