Yep. Sure is. Hopefully that makes my blonde moment quota for a few days.

I don’t mind paying for the convenience. I tip well. I do wish we lived in a country where living wages were a thing. But we don’t. We’re a giant slave colony owned by like 5 megacorps.

My question here is, how much was the bill? 5 or $600?

That’s an optimistic timeline.

At the current pace I’ll give it till June.

Man look at Kissinger and the Bush Family.

If you’ve got a high enough body count you just live forever.

Spoiler - It’ll be a Chinese company.

You do realized that’s based as hell right?

China steals from the west and uses it to improve their peoples lives instead of just squeezing them for every filthy penny possible?

You do understand that’s a moral, ethical, and economic China W don’t you?

That’s the free market at work baby. Regs for thee but not for mee.

Oh no is the widdle data thief mad his stolen data was stolen?

Someone call the waaambulance.

Now that’s an amazing headline.

They’ll bring it back.

Stealing from thieves isn’t a crime.

Especially not when China turns around and Robin Hoods it back to the world.

Just saying.

That’s just how tariffs work. They’re not a weapon against enemy nations. They’re a tax on Americans.

And nobody is going to bring production back to this fascist slave pen of a country.

Bird flu will definitely do that.

I want them to win. And they will. Short of global nuclear war they can’t lose. Venture capital can’t even dream of competing with central planning. Not even a question.

It’s not really trust. It’s more like hate. I hate this country. I hate what it’s turned into. I hate the oligarchy. I hate the captured politicians. I hate that the supposed opposition to actual fascists is a bunch of whinging cunts who’s primary concerns are about rules and norms. I hate that we are everything our propaganda told us about the rest of the world. I hate that our entire economic system is just a jenga stack of pyramid schemes.

We are a failed state. And if what I type on my phone helps our geopolitical “adversaries” get even 1 human hairs worth of advantage on this shithole then I’ll give it gladly.

Cool. I’d rather China have it than some American megacorp.

I trust China more.

Then Columbia put 50% tariffs on the US.

Love it.

You mean bots? Cuz it’s all bots.

Hey! I had that one.

Good times.

Good. Love to see it.

Starve the beast. Don’t pay your taxes either. Go to HR and change your tax withholding to tax exempt.

You’ll catch fines eventually. But in the meantime your check will be a little bigger and you’ll be denying tax funds to a fascist government.

If we ever get a sane government I’ll pay those fines happily.
