Well I think there are probably a half dozen interpretations that people on Lemmy use. One I have heard repeated is that they view the Tiananmen Square event as something that China rightfully did… hence “Tankie”

I don’t, I fimrly disbelieve. Trump will only care if you’re in a purple state that he tracks the metrics on. He is too dumb to see or care about other stats.
Aliexpress seems most straightforward, and not quite as gimmicky.
I meant more like non elected officials, like a Contracting Officer.
Is there somewhere with more details?
Also I meant non elected officials like purchasing officials.
I don’t think this decision would apply to like federal purchasing officials… so not yet.
Maybe th debate will clear things up.
That might work for the very short term. But the “bribes” you see are campaign finance and they are only so small because of laws. The real bribes are the jobs and consulting work after.
If you cam just pay them outright, costs will skyrocket.
Does this now flow down as precedent for people who decide contracts?
I mean wouldn’t people who are willing to break the law to kill not care much about other laws?
On a tangent… Why are we still wearing ties? Buttons exist and are already included 95% of the time.
Having worked in school finance in a prior life, I can tell you the biggest problem with money getting redirected to these schools is that they can deny students. So public schools lose funding and have to absorb all of the expensive SPED students.
Could we take em to small claims for like $500 a comment? That would be a devastating movement lol
It really is absurd. I want someone to create a trend of how many homeless does your church house? Kind of like a competition… in reality some large churches could support 100 and other very small rural ones might struggle to support one.
Or if we are going to use other countries, Australia has a much worse Meth problem in the US. In fact it probably had the worst per capita addiction in the world.
They also love slapping it on plastic waste for reuse, but people just assume the whole thing means recycle now
Well that and we have been told that the plastic chemicals leach into the water after reuse.
It’s not complicated to me, just make more. We should have a government funded drug producer for all the generics that the big companies don’t think are profitable enough.
We shouldn’t punish a population because a minority abuse something, that really only affects themselves.
Depends on the state
They are changing the laws so it can be legal, its what the submission is about.
They don’t seem to give overall preference to a given supplier beyond their obvious coupons and paid rankings. Alibaba is better, but who needs 144 of any specific widget…?
If you compare to one of the most preferred e-commerce website, which I would consider Amazon, it’s still not that bad. I have found less lies on Ali express v Amazon. If it comes to any cheaper electronics the Ali description is the real deal as far as I have seen. Amazon I have been shipped differing products, the description or features have just been a lie, or it didn’t come with the things implied. For the most part Ali descriptions are exactly what you will expect when opening the product… in fact many times I discover extra features when receiving the product that seemingly just couldn’t explain in their marketing.
Ali>Aliexpress>Amazon… just depends on needs
