quote:

'No CCP in USA!'

Inside a Michigan town's unhinged war over a Chinese battery plant

...

"Yes, I have Chinese stuff in my house all over the place," Peticolas says. "But it's way better that they build it in China and sell it here than to build it here and be here. It's called embedding with the enemy. It's an age-old military tactic."

...

Americans feel increasingly threatened by China. In a Pew survey conducted last year, 84% of respondents said they viewed Beijing's military strength as a somewhat or very serious problem. Last year Montana became the first state to issue a sweeping ban on TikTok, owned by the Beijing-based company ByteDance, and Arkansas ordered a Chinese-owned company to divest itself of farmland it had owned in the state since 1988. The town of Reedley, California, freaked out after discovering that a derelict medical manufacturing facility was owned by a Chinese man, who they imagined was building "bioweapons," possibly to deploy on a nearby naval base. And in Manteno, Illinois, residents are mobilizing against another Gotion project, a $2 billion battery plant that opponents have deemed "un-American."

I just appreciate that after decades of "All the manufacturing has gone to China! We don't make anything in America anymore!" they still managed to be just as mad when when the manufacturing comes back. That's dedication!

yea she may well just have a fat pussy lol. tho I’ve known a couple chud trans broads they’re a minority of a minority as most of us are underclass and have had to suffer to get thru to the other side. your Jenners and the like learn nothing as it’s against their class interest to learn things or have any kind of empathy for others. the younger ones I knew who didn’t have any of that were raised on the chans and never grew out of it

And they won't think to blame the procurement processes and fraud that led to that moment, America will do the most American thing it can: Use a racial minority as a scapegoat and encourage horrendous violence against them.

Americans can't innovate, they just pay off officials to get the government to steal successful products from foreign competitors and hand them the cashflows.

I'm feeling some frustration at this cognitive dissonance that seems to be so popular. This isn't directed at PFC, but the quote sums it up well, China is a major trade partner, they aren't a sworn enemy. We all have some cognitive dissonance, but it feels like in the states we've been really ramping it up over the past few years.

The house has passed the anti tiktok bill which apparently Biden is waiting to sign. I actually enjoy tiktok, and all of the similar :911: offerings seem to be unable to find me videos I'm interested in seeing. Going to be missing my short break dopamine hits when its banned. But at the same time the reasoning given is fairly obviously not the reason it is being banned, but I still hear people talking about how tiktok is stealing all our secrets for China.

I see people all over the web posting about "if you didn't want it banned you need to vote" and I don't even understand how people can have that opinion when this is bipartisan. It seems like rhetoric has replaced reality for a lot of folks. Just too much dissonance in popular culture for me right now.

not going to bother reading about it at all, but there's no way they are banning tiktok on any legit grounds, as all legitimate complaints with tiktok applies to a bunch of other things, including many that'll rush to fill the void if it is indeed banned. so even without any knowledge there's no way it is not some idiotic nonsense.

I do love the "just voet" advice/slogan we get whenever we bring up a problem in the US.

Even if voting was a way to influence the government, and it really isn't [https://www.cambridge.org/core/jour...4D4893B382B992B], we get to do it at most twice a year.

Shouldn't have voted the wrong way 2 years ago when this wasn't even a thing yet and for which no alternative was or is present :smug:

they are really strong on the RTO but im really far away so i so far just havent been going

i guess ill see how that evolves. my manager isn't pissed about it tho so far. it's like 4-5 hours of the day for me to round trip the haul

other than RTO, it's all pretty just normal tech job esque? It's fine? the rumors about working 996 or whatever are bullshit. at least where i'm at. maybe it's that way for bytedance in CN itself?
