I'm not even American.. I'm tired...

Elon Musk rigged the election to let Trump win. Your democrats hate you.

You are all a slave to Israel.

Please.. please... Please rise up and stomp out your corrupt politicians on the right and the (Democrats) slightly left right.

Bernie Sanders, Alexandria Oscaio+Cortez and Mamdani are your freedom... Please.. Australia is getting too right wing.. Please show the world that socialism is the future.

Yeah.. I'm in Australia too..

I don't think people realise how fucked we'll be if Pauline wins..

She literally didn't even finish high school (or any type of post high school training), and has even less experience than trump. Even trump went to business school.

It's like literally picking the (likely) dumbest, least experienced person in the room to manage millions of people who are all likely better candidates.. And, she's just as narcissistic as him

Isnt she just Gina Reinheart's sock puppet?

Not an aussie juat hearing some stuff

[–] auzy1@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

She was a useless self-interested asshole long before that.

Gina likes her, because like Trump, she's easy to bribe, and they both know they can help each other. They can also trust each other (like Trump and Epstein knew they could)

[–] BigBoyShuanzee@aussie.zone 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

What's scary is the stats of people interested in voting for her.

It's not just bogan white people...

[–] auzy1@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

But, if we're being honest, its mainly bogans lol

How is that even possible? The incompetence and carelessness is kinda impressive.

The “industries will self-regulate” republicans should kill themselves

[–] floquant@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 1 day ago

Ironically that would only happen if the market actually did regulate itself

And these guys want us to bring their dairy into our country. Sorry, our standards are higher.

[–] wonderingwanderer@sopuli.xyz 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Someone on lemmy was seriously trying to argue with me that Europe and the UK should let american food products in because "free market" or some shit.

I kept telling them NOBODY FUCKING WANTS THAT, and they just wouldn't get it.

And I say this as a USian...

They were probably either a troll or an astroturfer.

[–] dermanus@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Even if "free market" was a valid argument, the US agricultural industry is anything but.

You don't have to convince me, I already know it

Product recalls happen all the time. Usually the manufacturers and distributors and retailers manage to get them out of the supply chain before they hit the shelves. That’s the system working as intended, and it does a really good job of keeping people safe.

What we’re seeing here is that system breaking down because of the erosion of public trust. Because they don’t know they are getting truthful information, because they don’t know who or what to trust. Now when we hear about a product recall we don’t go “happy they caught it, I’m sure it will be fine”. We go “what else are they hiding”.

And that Fucks everything up.

Nah, it's breaking down because a large portion of Americans thought it would be better to have Trump and friends over competence.

There was a lot of cheating in that election and Elon admits as much that he hacked and rigged machines in key states.

But since Trump screamed and sued for 4 years about stolen elections now anyone who mentions it is now seen as a crazy person.

It worked perfectly. We going learn 20 to 30 years from now that the election was rigged and stolen and Harris really won. Like 2000 all over again except this is way way worse.

Main proof how one county the Democrat Senator and all other Democrats got all the votes, yet Harris got ZERO, and Trump got all the votes. This was New York and experts say that is not how people vote. Not saying some wouldn't vote that way. But zero votes for Harris is in itself suspicious. Add in the fact that when they spoke to people in that county they found large majority hated Trump.

There was a lawsuit filed but that was last heard about it. Wonder if they didn't get to sue or suddenly dropped and those involved disappeared?

Wow, fascism is a lot dumber than I anticipated. Like of course it sucks, but it sucks in fascinating ways I did not foresee.

Stones and other hard objects

What other hard objects???

[–] megopie@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 2 days ago

Maybe like, bolts or bits off of machinery.

A fairly common cause for recall is a damaged piece of a equipment dropping bits of it’s self in to a products.
