I’m not your comrade, friend.
It’s disappointing and very stupid that so many people just love buying toxic crap they don’t need, produced by people who are effectively slaves.
That said, the left loves to pretend we are headed towards a “circular economy” and that stuff like Temu is holding that back. While this is a beautiful thought, the notion that people who are OK with Temu will embrace an alternative model of repairs and small second-hand family-owned local shops is just a fantasy.
This article is 6 days old. The airstrip has since reopened. Hopefully they took some materiel damage to bombers, although this has not been confirmed.
A lot of, perhaps most, European countries have already issued such recommendations.
Honestly, having enough food in the house to survive for 3 days is hardly a “stockpile”. Many people would have to make an effort to have less food than that. Water is a different issue, of course.
Norway today issued a warning against traveling to the US for those whose current legal gender is different from their birth gender. Norway lets you change your legal gender simply by filling in an online form.
As far as I understand, the US will consider a passport fraudulent if it states such a gender. Document fraud is a federal crime, so it could be quite dangerous for the traveler.
I’m sure there are many cases where tech companies just cannot find local talent, but it wouldn’t surprise me if the H-1B provision is also misused to get less expensive labor. This could ultimately make it less attractive for locals to get into the field at all, since they cannot compete on salary. It also contributes to brain drain from developing countries. Personally I’m not going to shed a tear for Amazon in this case.
What the hell is going on with the kerning in that screenshot? My eyes, they bleed.
