Yeah, same. I know it's the norm for multi-billion dollar sport franchises to expect stadiums to be built for them at no cost to them with taxpayer dollars and still expect us to pay for tickets and $15 bottles of water on top of that, but, I am also of the opinion that it is bullshit and they should pay for their own stadium.

I will not be the least bit surprised if such a swerve occurs. At the very least, I know that exact line of reasoning will be mentioned in some context because that's more or less what happened IRL that he's referencing. Just a matter of whether he says it in support of or in opposition to taxpayers building new stadiums.

I feel like it's a response to tariffs Biden's putting on China to encourage US manufacturing. The idea being that China produces too well, meaning that US factories can't compete.

Essentially, China is doing great, and it's the mean US who is complaining about their productivity and wanting them to do worse.

"Overcapacity" is a claim from the White House that the CCP is unfairly dominating certain areas of international trade by subsidizing their own industries, to the point where they are flooding global markets and causing prices to fall. The importance of the claim is that this overcapacity is artificial, that these Chinese companies are only able to output so much because of the heavy government support they receive. These Chinese firms are then able to dump their excess production on the international market, driving prices down unfairly against their competition in the rest of the world, because the Chinese companies don't have to worry about being profitable.

National Economic Advisor Lael Brainard posted:

In part, China’s overcapacity is achieved by firms selling at or below cost—enabled by policy decisions that unfairly depress capital, labor, and energy costs. China accounts for over 50% of global steel production at a time when the emissions intensity of Chinese steel production ranks among the world’s highest.

Between 2017 and 2021, China’s production across the solar supply chain outpaced every other country in the world combined. By the end of this year, the global supply of solar panels is expected to outpace global demand by roughly three-fold, largely driven by Chinese policies to continue expanding investment despite overcapacity and sharply declining prices.

China’s industrial overcapacity undermines market-based innovation and competition, as well as our workers and supply chain resilience.

"Overcapacity" basically means "China's companies produce too much stuff with the help of government funds and China uses that ability to flood the market by selling under cost".

Trans women exploring their gender and vibing more or less with different expressions of femininity is exactly like invading somebody's home, stealing from them, and damaging their stuff.

Probably also an accusation of pedophilia/grooming, given the haunted look on the little bear's face and the fact that it's all the little bear's stuff that was "just right" for Goldilocks.
