Found the nazi.

Just banning Xitter would solve most of the problem, imo Maybe Facebook too.

Germany should just ban Xitter. That’s where most of this nazi infection is coming from.

US social media is the vector for that infection…

Have Israel EVER gone to war with the USA? Every NATO country has stood by the USA as an ally, but Israel is only ever there to put their hands out. They are Takers, not Givers. I wouldn’t think of them as allies.

Life’s too short to suffer a full bladder.

You don’t know much, hey?

At least he isn’t sacking thousands of government workers, and probably isn’t defrauding the government…

I even bought LOL-GAS personalized plates, in anticipation of buying a Tesla, but that aint happening now. I still have the plates, though, so maybe one day they’ll adorn a Chinese EV…

If by “dildo” you mean “cactus”, then I am 100% with you!

The ad revenue alone will be tremendous

And the obese orange Hitlerpig will take credit for it.

That example is not leftists, no matter what they claim. It’s like a lot of “Independent” voters are just too embarrassed to own up to what they really are. “Leftists” or what we call Dems, are more likely to accept their L’s and don’t harbor proven criminals. No Dem was crying when Senator Mendenez was caught, and most believe he deserves whatever punishment he has earned. If they spout republican talking points, and whine like little children, claim their losses were “stolen”, etc then they’re rightists.

I’m referring more to lead pipes eg Flint, Michigan. USA has really old infrastructure, and from what little I know, GOP state governments aren’t big on fixing those sort of problems.

Obviously, you already know the answer.
Personally, I’ve always laughed at people who posit questions that they already know the answer to. Faux Intelligentsia.

Sure, but microplastics is a world wide issue. Lead, not so much. And here, we were discussing why America, in particular, is so goddam stupid.

Learn to math. In your example 72.5% of the higher amount is the same as 145% of the smaller amount (cbf actually mathing it, but you obviously don’t grasp the concept of maths very well). Retailers will NOT be happy to make the same $100 profit, if they have to outlay 145% MORE cash to achieve it. Realistically, for many retailers, that extra 145% cash comes from an overdraft, and will have it’s own costs associated with it. No-one will use 2 1/2 times more cash to generate the same profit, and be happy with that. Another way to look at it. In your example, $100 item from China generates 100% of cost price, to sell at $200. If that same item now costs $245 but sells at $345 only, then the cost price generated is more like 40% (shipping/handling costs are excluded, for simplicity). Most businesses would lose their bankers if they take such a hit.

BS If an item costs an extra $100 to put on a shelf, the retailer will still want to cover the costs of obtaining and spending that $100. No-one is going to use funds commercially, for free. WTF do you think retailers will be good keeping the same profit, numerically, whilst spending 145% more for it?

I think lead poisoning is epidemic in America. Decades of no money being spent on infrastructure will do that.

America, as a nation, is unarguably fucking stupid. The rest of the world has been overly influenced by America, due to it’s wealth and power, for a very long time. We used to say that when America sneezes, the rest of the world catches a cold. Recent events have seen a great decoupling of the world from America. We’ve seen that the American way is utterly fucked. America is the turd that is sinking whilst the rest of the world will get more buoyant as the new reality sinks in.

*Rightists.

Right wingers are the only people I hear the “both sides” mantra from. I don’t know what media you’re consuming, but you got it ass backwards.
