@WallStreetApes I'm actually glad that soda prices are up and less people are drinking that trash

This is one of the reasons many Americans stopped buying sodas, the prices are outrageous
One 12 pack at this grocery store is $11.99
Sodas used to be 4 of these boxes for $12 bucks or buy 2 get 3 free
Name brand 12 packs of soda have seen a 90% increase in price since 2020 at some locations, soda as a whole has seen a 35% price increase according to U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics
There’s actually a reason for this, it’s a new business model for soda. Companies shifted to “price over volume” strategies
Meaning instead of giving Americans a lot of for their money, instead they’ll jack up prices and just make more money on selling less
Remember when America wasn’t about seeing how much we can all be robbed for

@Viscountpost Hotdogs aren't popular in Europe to be sold in perishable form.
Hotdogs are too popular in America to justify jarring them.
English
This whole thread is Europeans telling Americans "you eat this. This is traditional American food" and Americans replying "no we don't, I've never seen that in my life." Learning a lot about why Euro/American food discourse on this site is the way it is.

Germany also, for some reason, sells “American hot dogs” in glass jars filled with water? not in the fridge?? i’ve literally never seen them like this in the US ever, this is a German invention.

@RantyAmyCurtis Why are people surprised that anti-American libtards would be opposed to making DC nicer after they spent the last decade destroying it?

This keeps surfacing as an example of good flying & it’s not.
Unless they could see more than the camera, they went below minimum altitude (“minimums”) without being able to see, an instant fail on a checkride.
They also land well right of centerline. Very dangerous.

@hardyrenos Whenever someone doesn't move over to let me merge, I get along side them and stare them down. They're usually boomers.

Canadians are no longer nice people. I can't even merge onto the highway or cut across 2 lanes to make my left turn at rush hour because everyone is a douche now.
Just came back from a week long road trip in the US recently where this daily issue never happened once.

The threat from Chinese made cars is from multiple problems. They are inherently cheap and dangerous as seen below.
These cars are also a serious national security threat with spying and the potential of sabotage.

Trump on Taiwan… his focus is TSMC and the chips — not the people who don’t want to be ruled by the CCP… he’s not going to fight a war 9,500 miles away… he thinks as long as Taiwan doesn’t seek independence Beijing will not make a move to take Taiwan… he may or may not approve the arms sale to Taiwan… Taiwan is apparently just a bargaining chip in his trade talks with China…
All these and Beijing’s ongoing influence operations in Taiwan will undoubtedly strengthen the narratives of pro-Beijing parties like KMT while weakening the DPP.
Is a pro-Beijing president of Taiwan who favors handing Taiwan over to China and breaking the First island chain be good for the US or other countries like Japan and the Philippines?

@PhillipsPOBrien China doesn't have the oil to take Taiwan, if they did, they'd have to buy it from us.

First he abandoned Ukraine and now he is abandoning Taiwan. Sucks to be a democratic friend of the USA these days.

Trump on Taiwan: When you look at the odds, China is very, very powerful, big country. That's a very small island. Think of it, it's 59 miles away. We're 9500 miles away. That's a little bit of a difficult problem. Taiwan was developed because we had presidents that didn't know what the hell they were doing. They stole our chip industry.
English
Taiwan didn't steal your chip industry.
The modern chip industry became globally distributed primarily because of US business decisions (they chose to outsource manufacturing), government policy, and Taiwanese technological specialisation — not because Taiwan “stole” it.

Is anyone familiar with the Flock AI surveillance cameras that are going up all over Northwest Arkansas right now?
These cameras are being installed by a billion dollar corporation so government agencies can spy on us and track our every move, WITHOUT a warrant.
Not only do they read every license plate and detailed vehicle description, they also store that data in searchable private cloud servers that are integrated with Palantir (another AI data company).
The shills will say it’s for “safety”, but the 4th amendment was written to protect all of us from this kind of mass AI dragnet surveillance, and I won’t be quiet about it, and you shouldn’t either.
