i visited america for two weeks when i was seven and nothing at disney topped the thrill and excitement of driving for hours to nott's berry farm, dad's credit card getting declined, watching him have a bellowing altercation with the ticket seller, and then driving hours back to the hotel in smouldering silence and even that did not compare to the real event of the season: pokemon blue on the gameboy colour

Not riding to the theme park in an inexpensive EV are we? President Joe Biden will double, triple and quadruple tariffs on some Chinese goods this week, unveiling the measures at a White House event framed as a defense of American workers, people familiar with the matter say. Biden will hike or add tariffs in key sectors after nearly two years of review. The total tariff on Chinese electric vehicles will rise to 102.5% from 27.5%, the people said, speaking on condition of anonymity ahead of the announcement. Others will double or triple in targeted industries, though the scope remains unclear. https://fortune.com/2024/05/12/joe-biden-us-tariffs-chinese-goods-electric-vehicle-duties-trump/

silicone thrills posted:Teach your kids the important lesson about money and just say "we cant afford it" their entire childhood. i read this thing (probably a reddit thread but idk), by and for the adult children of christian pastors, in america. subject was something like "what do you wish regular people understood about growing up as the preacher's kid" and the replies were bleak. lots of "dad gave away all of our food to strangers and we just had to deal with it, i was 9" and "dad said birthdays are for other people so we didnt do those" and "dad's parishioners needed [thing] so he just took mine and gave it to them without asking". like its one thing to christianly give away your own poo poo to the poor or whatever, but its another to deliberately have kids and then impose that on them. seemed like a great way to ensure your beliefs dont make it to the next generation, cuz you hosed them over

https://www.reuters.com/business/aerospace-defense/major-airlines-sue-biden-administration-over-fee-disclosure-rule-2024-05-13/ Major airlines sue Biden administration over fee disclosure rule WASHINGTON, May 13 (Reuters) - Major U.S. airlines are suing the U.S. Transportation Department over a new rule requiring upfront disclosure of airline fees, the latest clash between air carriers and the Biden administration. Lobbying group Airlines for America, along with American Airlines (AAL.O) , Delta Air Lines (DAL.N), United Airlines (UAL.O), JetBlue Airways <JBLU.O>, Hawaiian Airlines (HA.O) and Alaska Airlines (ALK.N) , filed suit against the department (USDOT) in the U.S. Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals in Louisiana late on Friday, according to a copy of the suit seen by Reuters. The USDOT issued final rules last month requiring airlines and ticket agents to disclose service fees alongside the airfare, saying it would help consumers avoid unneeded or unexpected fees. The airline group said in a statement on Monday the department's rule would confuse consumers and that its "attempt to regulate private business operations in a thriving marketplace is beyond its authority." The airlines' previously unreported lawsuit calls the rule "arbitrary, capricious, an abuse of discretion and otherwise contrary to law." USDOT said Monday it "will vigorously defend our rule protecting people from hidden junk fees and ensuring travelers can see the full price of a flight before they purchase a ticket." USDOT said last month the new rule would result in many consumers paying less for fees when traveling by air. The agency says consumers are overpaying $543 million in fees annually, and airlines are getting that additional revenue from consumers who are surprised by fees and "then need to pay a higher fee at the airport to check a bag." Major airlines charge higher fees to check bags if travelers do not pay in advance or wait until the time of the flight. Earlier this year, many large U.S. airlines boosted fees for checked baggage. USDOT said fees for baggage or flight changes "must be individually disclosed the first time that fare and schedule information is provided on the airline's online platform, and cannot be displayed through a hyperlink." USDOT also said the rule will end "bait-and-switch tactics some airlines use to disguise the true cost of discounted flights." It prohibits airlines from advertising promotional discounts off a "low base fare that does not include all mandatory carrier-imposed fees." The airline group called the rule "a bad solution in search of a problem." It said airlines already provide consumers with complete disclosure of all fees associated with air travel before they purchase a ticket. Southwest Airlines (LUV.N) which expressed support for provisions in the USDOT proposal, did not join the lawsuit. U.S. airlines collected nearly $6.8 billion in baggage fees in 2022, and $5.5 billion in the first nine months of 2023. The rule requires airlines to inform consumers that seats are guaranteed and that they are not required to pay extra. Airlines must provide the following notice: "A seat is included in your fare. You are not required to purchase a seat assignment to travel." The airlines have not challenged a separate rule finalized last month by USDOT that would require automatic cash refunds for canceled flights when passengers choose not to take a new flight. "Too often, airlines drag their feet on refunds or rip folks off with junk fees," President Joe Biden said last month, arguing the mandate will protect passengers "from surprise fees."  No you see hidden fees are pro consumer. It's our right and you have no authority!

We had a friend visiting who works at a coffee roaster in Europe and they said they’re basically buying coffee as quickly as they can and prices are changing (going up) daily. It’s a bad situation if you love that garbage. Don’t worry, Starbucks has drinks with popping boba or “pearls” now.

Green coffee beans are still about the same price on Amazon as they have been for years. $10/lb. Buy those and roast them, they will taste better than pre-roasted.
