Ah, my bad- so it is. To be honest all I’ve ever heard about the Foxconn iPhone factories in china is them using Chinese semi slave labor run by Chinese people.
I guess taiwan number one China is still a bit shady at times…

Wait… I thought Apple left China because of slave(ish) labor reasons. But are still using Foxconn which is a Chinese company?
Ah found this: “Like many of its competitors, Apple has relied on China for assembling its products for years. But political and economic factors have forced the company, as well as the broader tech sector, to rethink that approach by seeking partners from across the region.” (Link
You can take the production out of China, but not China out of production…all for ‘optics’.
No, poor people already pay for the rich. The rich can afford an accountant to find as many loopholes and deductions as possible. The really rich don’t have an “income” and live of capital gains which is already under taxed.
This is just a hope people remember the “no income tax” part and forget about the “raise import tariffs” part when they’re at the ballot.
Right, this election, and the last, where more about who the president surrounds themselves with. Who they appoint to key positions. Not the individual.
Or the criminal rapist immigrant that takes your job…
Most of these artists use fairly complicated, or difficult to master, software to create and/or edit their art.
Signing up for and uploading images to a website isn’t really complicated.
Hey, some places it’s the county Sheriff that’s the coroner… which is also bad.
Sometimes people die in the county jail… and almost every time it’s not needed to perform an autopsy- it’s just natural causes…
The coroner needs to be an impartial medical professional.
Many may be victims of a legal system that incentivizes recidivism and bullshit laws.
For profit prisons need bodies to get federal cash, plus the cash from the underpaid labor the prisoners provide.
I’m sure it would cost the government less to implement social programs that help nurture and support everyone than to continue to subsidize and pay private prisons.
I have no proof of anything. But saying most don’t want to change seems hyperbolic and dog whistle-y.
A very small minority are probably wired wrong and are indeed unchanging in their ways, I’d say the vast majority were set up to fail for profit.
And even more kowtowing and pandering.
The push back from the residents is a bit of knee jerk reaction, it’s them saying “treat our city like an amusement park, fine, pay like you’re visiting an amusement park”.
A complex issue boiled down to one phrase.
No bad weather, only bad/wrong gear.
Odd that it didn’t get blocked by these US banking institutions, or they got the transfer fees then flagged the transactions…
