  • 25 countries suspend postal services to U.S. over tariffs: UN

  • Wait, you're taking something Trump said as the truth?

  • Taxes do not pay for the USPS. The USPS is fully funded by itself.

  • Trump tells Fed's Lisa Cook she's fired; she says 'he has no authority to do so'

    Jump

  • Once again Trump is too scared to fire anyone directly. He can only do it behind a social media post. So weird.

  • The US does not require the turn indicator to be a separate light from the brake light.

    The US has almost no current cars with an orange turn indicator on the rear. The red brake light doubles as both.

    When US cars are made for other countries, the separate orange light is added.

    America only has 2nd or 3rd world consumer protection.

  • Hershey Raising Candy Prices by Double Digits on High Cocoa Costs

    Jump

  • Hershey's has had many reasons to be boycotted over the decades. I'm not aware of any of those reasons being corrected by the company.

    I am completely against what Israel is doing to Palestine and against the colonization and genocide being done.

    This instance of Hershey's doing business in Israel is a very weak reason to boycott. There are many other obvious reasons to boycott Hershey's.

  • This is true.

    This is the basis for taxing high sugar convenience food. It was done for cigarettes, and today, consumers overwhelmingly see it as a good program. (Of course tobacco companies lobbied hard against it)

    Should there be a line on which products governments deincentivise? High sugar convenience foods have their purpose, but does it outweigh increasing obesity? Should we instead subsidize healthy foods? Or both together?

  • Racist Americans are getting their appetite whet seeing brown people getting hurt, and are on the edge of their seat waiting to see Black people get hurt.

  • Minimum wage set to rise in 15 cities and states in July. Here's where.

    Jump

  • Yay. Keep it going. More states and higher income.

    Or, you know, the ultra, ultra rich could pay more taxes. That's the trade off.

  • Are you depending on Hungary's modern and authoritarian-leaning surveillance state to be 10+ years behind? Consumer-grade Face Id on phones and computers uses infrared light.

    I'm not saying his method are the best way to stay anonymous, just that he demonstrates how hard it is to stay anonymous.

  • This seems to be just visible light. Infrared light facial recognition sees through all of the makeup and dark sunglasses.

  • Why does it feel like protesting isn't as "extreme" as it used to be?

    Jump

  • The big, well reported protests were the result of decades, nay centuries, of protests.

    Sit-in protests were common.

    Rosa Parks was, by far, not the first Black person to be arrested for keeping her seat.

    Hundreds of thousands of workers died or were hurt in preventable dangerous workplaces and labor protests.

    It is hard and costly to go against the government.

  • New Army Shaving Policy Will Allow Soldiers with Skin Condition that Affects Mostly Black Men to Be Kicked Out

  • Racists are so bad they won't even allow Black people to volunteer to defend the America.

    Racists are so bad and afraid of brown people that white America racists are removing child labor laws to prefer to have their own white children working in fast food instead of in school learning just so that they don't see a brown adult.

    Jump

  • First the racists said that Black people were born for physical labor. Then the racists said that Black people were not good enough to do physical labor to defend the country. Racist people are horrible.
