  • Does matter either way. You make China pay for the tariff, they just add the tariff to the sale of the product.

    The item is $100 and there is a $100 tariff? Well, now they selling it at $200.

    Doesn't matter who the bill goes to, the consumer always end up footing the bill. The only winner is the US government (whose money will quickly find its way into some rich people's pockets)

  • For residents of the United States the duty free limit when returning is 800 dollars worth of stuff

    Well, they just removed the de mininis rule...

    Stuff that you exported and reimported for personal or business use, but not for resale, is exempt from duty with no dollar limits. If you want documented proof that you are reimporting, you can register the stuff at a customs office in the United States before you leave.

    I'm pretty sure nobody registers their personal smartphone and laptop every time they leave the US for a vacation.

  • I don't understand the "be shitty to food service worker" attitude.

    They do realize its the people making their food, right?

    You don't even have to be a nice person, just be pragmatic, act nice.

    Don't die by poisoning.

  • No Stupid Questions @lemmy.world

    Couldn't someone living near a border just go over and buy stuff and skip the tariffs?

  • I know this is a parody, but:

    In the US, you might soon need a white "walking buddy" when they re-instate Jim Crow laws, because you wouldn't be allowed to travel without a white man leading the group.

  • Worst of all, when bullies harass and attack and beat people over and over in school, on the rare occasion when a student defends themself, the defender often ends up charged because “cool” bullies get a free pass

    Literally me.

    Charged with fucking "Aggrevated Assault with a 'Deadly Weapon'" for self-defence against a bully

    I'm like, WTF?

    Charges were dropped because they ibviously has no evidence. But still

    WTF?!?

    I was kinda worried about deportation from the US, but then I remembered I'm already a Citizen because my mother Naturalized so I automatically derived Citizenship.

    Can you imagine the potential of deportation for a fucking school fight (not even a fight on my side, its SELF-DEFENCE)?

    And cops don't bother to invesrigate and just take the school admin's word for it, you know, the school admins are famously known for their impartiality? Lol nope, they are biased as fuck, they pick favorites and screw over anyone who isn't a teacher's pet.

    ACAB. Fuck the school admin.

  • Tankies are now supporting trump because he's advancing putin's agenda in Ukraine.

    That's tells you all you need to know about the tankies, they were never left wing, they are far-right masquerading as leftists.

    There's a term for this: Red Fascism

  • My parents told me the Tianamen Square Massacre is fake and CIA propaganda, meanwhile watching their WeChat shorts playing on loop about how the People's "Liberation" Army will "liberate" Taiwan and "reunify" China.

    They were not even 60 yet

    Funny thing is, WeChat is also attacking the Democrats and blaming them for "migrant crisis" in NYC.

    Maga and CCP seems to be on the same team lol

  • Ask Lemmy @lemmy.world

    Has anyone here dealt with a pest issue in your home? How serious is/was it? How was it dealt with?

  • Then: Representative Leo Ryan (Visited Jonestown to investigate Bob Houston's Death. Leo Ryan was assassinated in Jonestown.)

    Now: Senator Chris Van Hollen (He went to El Salvador to try to get Kilmar Abrego Garcia back)

    History Rhymes

  • DJI DRONES!

    You can't even avoid them because they are a monopoly. (There are "no-name" drones but these drones are very bad)

    Even the 2nd place of the best drone manufacturers, Autel, their drones also has mandatory app-based internet activation.

  • I'm not sure and I don't really care. But I'm assuming its just the admin's personal dislike of lemmy.ml. Regardless, I chose this instance because of it. I'm sure there are still small number of users acting in good faith on lemmy.ml, but I just don't wanna deal with their admins' tankie influence and the higher ratio of trolls on that instance.

  • I mean, I don't care if people accidentally waste their time making mean comments that I can't see, but the problem is if .ml can still the see posts, they can downvote and I wouldn't be see those downvotes to be able to know if there's brigading.

  • Fediverse @lemmy.world

    has defederated [lemmy.ml] but [lemmy.ml] can still see posts from users on [infosec.pub]?

    Casual Conversation @lemm.ee

    If society goes cashless, you might be forced to carry a smartphone in order to get food. This could mean the end of privacy. What your thoughs on this?
