  • Is that why all the manufacturing of every industry (including most of the parts for the cars assembled in USA) was sent from America to China?

  • And once again, nothing will happen

    Had this been a minority with a couple of joints on him and they would have lynched him before getting to the Station

  • 10%?? I don't think I've seen less than 15 in years

  • Then we are back to where we started where tipping is a guild riddled demand

    Pay waiting staff a livable wage and include that in the price, no tipping

  • Sure ... The free market is only free as long as i always win

  • This is what I try to tell people who just want the cheapest things possible. We're voting with our dollars what kind of world we want.

    Ok, please tell me where can I buy

    <insert anything here>

    that's wasn't totally or partially made in China??

    I'm an avid learner and DIY, I try to only buy raw materials and tools to make everything I can myself ... I have yet to see standard basic tools that were not made in China...

    I understand your point, but to expect that "voting with your wallet" will cause change, is like hoping we can turn around a cruise ship by blowing at it

    Just look at the enshitification of everything... Did people vote that in with their wallets? Or all services decided that on greed and left us no choice but to hold our noses or give up the last few vestiges of entertainment that we could still afford?

  • People have been mad for decades about what Walmart did to retail in the US.

    And the government stepped in and addressed the situation, right? Right?

  • Sure we will take the sacrifice... I'm sure this time capitalist will get the message and start behaving reasonably

    It's like that time thousands of us reduced or eliminated meat intake and suddenly the Kardashians realized taking private jet flight to avoid a few minutes of traffic was bad and stopped doing it

  • Exactly... Meanwhile some poor soul goes to jail because he is too broke to pay for some parking fines

  • Why? Are they running low on choices to diddle?

  • I believe in nuclear and hope you are right ...

    We already have had real close calls on nuclear (Chernobyl for example).... Have we learned from our mistakes? I hope so

  • You are right, this corruption case was not about regulations but, imo, that's just a matter or price and time.

    A long time ago I read about some horrible explosion in a sugar refinery and was amazed how so many industries have had lethal cases like that which can be traced directly to greed (not negligence, not an accident, not a bad mix of circumstances, just greed)

    Since then I have all but convinced myself that every industry out there have had a similar example (usually more than one) which is why I have zero tolerance for the notion that industry can regulate itself. Every single time a politician talks about deregulation for efficiency or job creation, what they really mean is they are taking "donations" and couldn't care less that people get hurt

  • There are regulations in place

    Unfortunately made and destroyed by policitians you can legally buy in the USA... They are cheap too, $10k gets you tons of access, for $100k you can make them dance like monkeys

  • Ah, the free* market at work

  • Sadly, that modicum of thought you put into it, is 10000 times more thought than most "responsible gun owners" actually muster

  • Not really. You'd still have way too many stupid and hateful people.

    I'd gladly take an unarmed stupid, hateful people over this

  • "people" as in the plural of any of us are barely worth trusting with a car... And only because cars are intended for a productive purpose and many don't have a other choice for transportation (thanks to short sighted, corrupt politicians)....

    There is nobody I would trust with an AR-15

  • It makes perfect sense when you consider Republicans are the party of sMAlL GoVurnmebt
