Thankfully in America we have

Why They Don’t Want You Driving a Chinese Car

I took my first ride in a Chinese car recently. Not in the U.S., of course, since sky-high tariffs have made them almost impossible to import. I was visiting family in the U.K., and we rented a BYD Sealion SUV. And let me tell you: I saw immediately why American car companies are desperate to have these things kept out of this country. It was elegantly designed, incredibly comfortable, and a smooth ride.

Goal is to fuck people over or create slave labor like work camps to replace cheap labor lost from their desire to eliminate immigrants

Obama and other dem leadership keep saying we need a strong gop party. Which is surprising considering how little they've ever cared about fighting against the GOP. Unless just want them strong to make it easier to fundraise

I'm rereading my comments that you've linked, and I'm nodding in approval.

Says more about you than anything else

Feels like they're bragging about how terrible it is

Nah they said they'd just keep forking it and remove what they don't like.

Which to me sounds painful but 🤷

I require no safe space. I hold my own here, then my comments get deleted.

Yeah insults will do that on most places.

One in red on the right of the Chinese side? Think depressed thor from endgame?

[–] Goferking0@ttrpg.network 6 points 1 week ago

Or that those comments didn't get purged

Piefed brings in the worst of reddit and manages to find a way to impower assholes in the name of better moderation. Basically anyone who doesn't act like rimu wants get punished and those who go against the hive mind are punished.

This is all separate from issues like rimu finding ways to not respect the federation standards by just making up their own responses

Even when on salary pooping on company time is amazing

The share of Americans who say their financial situation is getting worse is higher now than at any point in the past 25 years, per new Gallup data out Tuesday morning.

Why it matters: Americans are struggling after years of higher inflation and a recent surge in gas prices due to the Iran war — a major challenge for President Trump and Republicans as the midterm elections come into view.

By the numbers: 55% of respondents to a poll conducted April 1-15 said their financial situation is getting worse; that's up from 53% last year and 47% in 2024.

**The number is higher than at any point since 2001, even compared with recessions during the pandemic or in the wake of the financial crisis**. 

Friction point: This is the fifth consecutive year that more Americans say their finances are worsening rather than improving.

Zoom in: When asked to identify their most important financial problem, 31% cited the cost of living.

Energy costs are mentioned by 13% of Americans, up 10 percentage points from last year and the highest since 2008.

Reality check: Inflation is still elevated from where it was the last time Trump was in office, but it's certainly lower than at its peak in 2022.

The big picture: Still, the recent surge in gas prices has increased the pressure on American pocketbooks.

The average price of a gallon of gas is $4.11, says AAA. It was under $3 before the war started on Feb. 28.
Many Americans blame Trump for the increase.
