I remember reading that, in at least one case, collecting them is difficult to the point where ports aren’t bothering. And that’s difficult on the admin side, they’re just so insane about it that the relevant authorities aren’t even really sure what’s going on or how to deal with it.
He bas been, which is the wild part. He’s not saying “oh this was a bad idea, whoops” but he is adding all kinds of exceptions all the time as major corporations tell him how awful they are. Terrified of being seen as weak, so many tariffs will remain but it is really funny watching them scramble to pretend like they aren’t the absolute worst at their jobs.
As an adjacent observer(Canada, and we have our own idiots) it’s kinda funny. The US has had so much time and so many resources to not being the shithole it is today and they just couldn’t bring themselves, as a country, to get there. Other countries have done way better with less so we know it’s possible.
So, as much as it is also scary, awful, and just plain garbage, it is a little funny as well.
Obi Wan was a master baiter, Anakin never stood a chance.
Well put. And oh the suburbs, where the greatest argument always seems to be centered around how much they hate their neighbours and believe that a cut lawn in a development is closer to nature than a full, grown back alley with maybe even a small community garden(fairly common in the major city where I live).
To your point about where the capitalist would spend money it’s actually the other way around. Capitalists hate the countryside, and nothing makes it more obvious than the shitty state of internet and package delivery. It costs way too much money to lay a mile of high-speed cable just so two families can pay not-even-that-much for an internet plan. USPS is and Canada Post are crucial services because of how badly the private parcel companies don’t want to serve rural communities.
OR, maybe we need to make a new system. It’s not just credit scores or total anarchy, have some imagination, fuck.
For example, maybe a system where paying your credit card off on time or consistently having enough cash to not even need a credit card means that your “score” goes up. If it is truly about being reliable then that’s a no brainer, and yet…
We also shouldn’t be needing so much in the way of loans anyway and we deal with that by forcing minimum wage increases. It’s insane how much people have to put on cards and how normal it is to barely manage a monthly payment on a 30-40 year mortgage. The US and Canada specifically demand that you own a car and the weather is often very hard on them, too, yet once again the prices go up and up and you have to hope for the best that you can afford the payments which hide their increases behind and extended term or only a few more dollars which adds up to thousands on the other end.
You: “Almost no”
Comments: pff look, some example!
Reading comprehension is in the dirt.
Fellas is it weak to not carry your 50lb suitcase everywhere? Definitionally yes but oh my god how fragile.
Nothing more manly than being surrounded by dudes and raw onions while getting drunk because you’re too much of a wuss to go to therapy or even address emotional trauma yourself.
I also like how they had a gender neutral bathroom.
Almost like he’s never had a consequence and…he’s actually right on this one. No one will do anything about it.
Aliens will come here and ask “oh so you all bow to them because they can breathe acid and are resistant to small arms fire?” and we’ll look them in their faces and say “no, they’re actually pretty average and some are shockingly unhealthy and weak. Pretty much all their power is comes directly from what we give them for money, as they aren’t even particularly clever. We just…I dunno, can’t? I guess?”
Missing out on WHAT?!
Except that even if your commute is 20km that’s still going tonlast you all week. Obviously there are other trips to make but it’s definitely not stopping 99.9% of people in the middle of their commute, or even their workday, to charge.
I don’t know why so many people think whatever they buy needs to be able to handle every single fringe case they’ve never even experienced or why they think that something being absolutely adequate for their own use is somehow bad. It’s room-temp IQ bullshit and I’m tired of it.
17k for a vehicle powered by a watch battery(exaggeration) is pretty sick and more than practical, even for people in North America.
Where do those bags go? Not saying this someone shouldn’t be just putting the bags away but surely they must go somewhere?
I just keep the bags I use for groceries on the backdoor door handle. Once everything is empty they all kinda have to go back together or they’d just be strewn about the kitchen and the place they go is beside the fridge.
“We’ve tried nothing and…”
I’m not exactly the most active person. Not been to protests here in Canada but I do vote and all that. But ya know what I don’t do? I don’t actively discourage people from protecting themselves.
You have already lost. The question is whether or not you’re willing to fight back and win in round two.
No, it’s just arresting visible minorities and sending them to another country’s “prison”(read: hell-hole death camp). They’ll even do it to US citizens! At least one Republican was calling for that Bishop, who was from New Jersey, to be deported, even, and there’s the current situation with the guy in El Salvador who is very likely dead. Visible minorities are met with disproportional amounts of force from police far more often than white people even if they’re innocent and complying. And do you really think that the prison labour camps in the US are only slavery if someone was wrongly arrested? Newsflash, I don’t care what you did, prison is a bad enough sentence without being forced to work for pennies in terrible conditions.
The Uyghur situation is far more blatant and official but don’t kid yourself into thinking that the US isn’t doing the exact same shit. You should not need it in writing when the actions are all there in front of you and many times the people who built those systems basically admit what their true goals were. Do something about now, don’t wait for it to be enshrined in law.
Did you miss the current situation with the guy who was perfectly legally in the US but was still sent to an El Salvador? The administration is actively fighting court orders to get him back and many people believe that he’s already dead.
What absolutely horrible people. The fuck would they know about judging someone’s well-being anyway?
And “unaccompanied”? Bros it’s a school literally their job aside from education is to supervise the children in their care.
Paper towel will also help. You’re gunna be ok.
