They produce solid content, especially long form journalism but their subscription cost is fairly high.

Develop a public healthcare system and we’ll talk.

This is the type of reporting that feeds into Trumps hierarchical world view. Anything short of blindly agreeing with what he says is an affront, a ‘smackdown’ even.

Dude politely declined to address it. Which he shouldn’t given his position. Not news worthy.

Most civilized countries would respond to this situation by denying entry. Not throwing a person into your for profit detention system to make a quick buck.

At long last the world gets to see America’s true colors.

The vast majority of people either voted for Trump or didn’t vote at all. Americans chose this madness either through action or inaction. They should feel accountable for the forthcoming consequences. Democracy in action.

Glad to hear that. Any resources you’d recommend? It sounds like a very level headed way to see things.

An American with self awareness. So glad I left corporate shithole Reddit for this place.

Hopefully it gets to that point. More than half of the guns that enter Mexico and Canada are from the US. It’s about time America got called out for its cultural shortcoming of valuing gun rights more than its children.

He also used the conflict with the US to quietly get re-elected a few weeks ago. So he’s playing his political cards well even if he’s a dumbass.

New York is Trumps home state. Fuck em.

I was hoping this would be the Turkish equivalent of two paper thin patties, three buns, some lettuce and thousand island dressing for $7 USD but yeah I can see how haggling the price of soap can be frustrating too.

I mean this is just a cultural difference. Of course as an American, where haggling is uncommon and not a part of societal norms, you will find it annoying.

In other countries, where retail sectors are not as standardized, haggling is seen as a form of social interaction and networking. It is, by all means, less efficient. But not every culture romanticizes productivity to the point of working / chasing a bag until you’re frail, incontinent and need to be put in a ‘home’.

The lack of efficiency is also antithetical to consumerism which is a cultural norm in many parts of the world where haggling is uncommon. You can buy 15 pieces of junk on Amazon in the amount of time it takes to haggle one peice of junk at a market. Which is more ‘normal’ depends on which part of the world you’re from.

Haggling in person is a completely different experience from online. You can fake your identity online, disappear randomly, and spam for the sake of spamming. It’s much harder to do that when you show up with your real face in a relatively close knit community.

Not in any way trying to dismiss your experience. I find it very uncomfortable as well but having South asian parents means that I’ve seen my fair share of such transactions and how they can have the interesting effect of bringing people together.

Sounds like capitalism working as intended to me.

A Big Mac is a bigger scam than anything sold in a market by ordinary people.

Going nuts in a reddit thread quickly becomes Black and brown people bad, white people good

A lot of people are sick in the head over there.

Maybe it’s time we let people who know how to handle an economy run countries? It’s not like the alternatives have been that great so far.

JD Vance showed how much he cares about rural communities in Hillbilly Eulogy. Rural Americans are just impressionable pawns to Trump and his ilk.

Trump’s tariffs don’t just apply to business hours. Americans need to feel the pain that Canadians will.

Pretend to care just won him another 4 years as premier so why wouldn’t he?

Vance is the most cringe here. I swear if old age gets to Trump in the next four years Vance will do more damage to the American reputation that can be salvageable in the next decade or more.

I think we all know Japan has been neutered and/or spayed since WW2 but I don’t think anyone sees it as an anti Nazi nation.

Hitler’s original plan was to escape to Japan once the war was lost.

Modern Japan is more centered on Western Ball gobbling and animated tentacle porn but I don’t see it being anti Nazi per se.
