i guess bytedance won’t be putting up that minority stake in trumptok, then.

i used to love going to kmart back then. close parking. easy in-and-out. no lines and no big crowds, not even friday after thanksgiving or christmas eve.

“…the Bombs bursting in air”

well it’s not like they’re a news channel. why would they broadcast actual facts when it’s the bullshit and lies that drives ratings and ‘pays the bills’?

did you see the bit where the diaper-in-chief recognized Taiwan as a separate country?

muskrat is loved so much by his own a.i, grok would have shipped him off to gitmo long ago.

there is a wikipedia article. they are a ‘territory’. they took a list of countries and territories, added basic trade data for each, and then they copy/pasted simple formulas down a couple of columns. the whole thing was probably concocted in notepad and excel in half an hour.

you think companies will just use a flat amount to cover the ‘tariff’? fat chance. this is america, they’re gonna keep their percent-based margins, probably add to them, besides, to offset lower sales volumes… and those profit margins get added at every link in the distribution chain. retail prices will be closer to double than ‘only’ 54% more.

penguins like cheetos. i remember that uh… ‘documentary’. we should send 'em a big giant fat one. no charge. just to say ‘sorry’ for imposing the unfair tariffs on their trade.

ok, then…

i have a huge trade deficit with walmart.

i buy way more from them than they do from me ($1200-1500 a year vs $0); just like the u.s. buys more from many countries than those countries buy from the u.s.

like the leaky diaper’s new tariffsimport tax, i should charge myself a ridiculously high extra tax on purchases from walmart until they buy $1200-1500 a year of some mythical product from me to even out the ‘unfair’ imbalance?

yea. that’ll work.

“career” workers are more likely to be dedicated to their job, and less ‘loyal’ to whoever the current resident of 1600 penn ave is. gotta get rid of any potential ‘problems’ before the revolt starts from within.

the exporter need not be based in the origin (‘tariffed’) country to have their goods taxed on import.

funneling profits to overseas subsidiaries to lower a corporation’s overall tax burden is a different issue.

how about not buying russian oil in the first place.

or be the first to add fluoride to bottled water, or ‘import’ tap water from elsewhere, for sale in the state.

i remember seeing bottled city of houston water on shelves in san antonio grocery stores back in the 1990s. san antionio was then, and until ~2002, the largest u.s. city without fluoridated water.

it’s probably gonna be plasma6 by a hair over cinnamon on a rolling distribution. as much as people shit on manjaro here and on that other site, it has never broke on me–whether i update constantly or let it go 2-3 months between them.

but if the de and the underlying os are magically compatible, and those and programs kept up to date, never obsolete, and new ones appear for it as needed or desired… then sorry, it won’t be linux… i’m going back to something like 95osr2, 98se or w2k.

who needs ‘research’ when we’re headed back in time anyway.

bummer. i was kinda hoping to see them actually denied entry.

i think it’s entirely possible that the pardon for ‘everything’ is already waiting for a sharpie scribble and that the SEC charges were not only expected–but planned in advance by muskrat.

well, that explains that. i suppose that $400m in withheld grants and funding will somehow end up in lord diaper’s personal accounts, because he’s “owed” it.
