Paperwork alone at customs probably caused random shortages
The whole calculation on import tariff tax based on percentage of cogs per product will flop

@JohnEkdahl @davereaboi @AGHamilton29 @baseballcrank It's pretty remarkable how many online lefties have a diagnosed mental problem in their history or bio.

@WKCosmo I'd expect that people with an IQ>130 are much more likely to know people with an IQ>130 than the average person. Also how did we end up in a place where some people think being intelligent is a pathology?

@Whataboutparis I'm bringing an Emotional Support Girl next time I fly. She can soothe me if I get nervous.

Women and girls still can’t be service animals, right?

@GatorRaidActual I had the experience recently of having a white man tell me approvingly about how a department at a local university say openly that they won't hire white men. These people have Stockholm Syndrome.

A lot of white liberal academics who are still post-doc are having, or will have, this same experience. They will find out the hard way that "b-b-but you have PRIVELEGE because you have a tenure track job!" isn't going to work.
It only goes one way, and when you try to flip it on them they will just let it roll off their back. If they don't openly mock you for it.
This is the main reason why I have been against this idea of turning left wing ideas on the far left: they have no shame. You cannot flip the script on them. If they can't counter it rhetorically, they will just laugh in your face and do what they can with the power they accumulate.

@BowTiedPerun Looks good. I see no problem with turning your back on your possibly armed attacker. Good stuff.

@Indian_Bronson Not gonna self-dox but - Bernie really is clueless about anything related to health care. He's not pandering, and hes not a bad guy. He just doesn't understand how things work.

Novo Nordisk will be nearly $11 Billion in the hole just to have developed the drug and have it manufactured before they see a cent of return. People like Bernie — or rather his staff, he’s near death and senile — don’t get how ludicrously expensive and risky any biotech is.
Sen. Bernie Sanders@SenSanders
There is no rational reason, other than greed, for Novo Nordisk to charge Americans nearly $1,000 a month for Ozempic when it costs less than $5 to manufacture it and can be purchased in Germany for just $59. Novo must substantially reduce the price of Ozempic in the US now.

@neontaster Imagine someone so terrible that he makes Yashar Ali look like the reasonable guy.

@jacoburowsky Absolutely true. I thought wokesters were cynical at first, just using that language to obtain power. Then I met some. They're true believers.

Find a friend unfamiliar with this and offer them $5,000 if, based solely on the description of an "appalling, unforgivable, despicable act" that "hits a raw nerve," they can guess what the act in question was.
"Hmmm... I dunno... some kind of, like, ritualized mass killing?"
