The KFCs here gave me food poisoning twice. You could get better chicken literally anywhere, for cheaper. Peet's coffee is pretty good. Not a coffee snob, so what do I know, but I'd rank it over Starbucks. Of course there are little coffee shops like every 50 meters.

Yeh I've had KFC twice since going back to Australia and both times I peed out of my rear end in a top hat for 12 hours. Miss Popeyes but the cafes every 50m make up for it.

Funny how Starbucks failed quickly in Australia since it couldn't compete in the slightest with the local cafe culture.

Even in a bourgeois liberal democracy this should be a reason to expel or discipline members of your political party. Well, if your political party actually cared about being popular and winning votes.

Also politicians of foreign countries actually being punished for corruption deeply terrifies Westerners, because they're supposed to be easily controlled and bribed.

fits my needs posted:We know how the China story ends, and the cracks are starting to show within both their economy and society. Communism never has a happy ending, and the propaganda machine is often the strongest asset. Its no secret that China has built their tech powerhouse through less than ethical means, primarily engaging in espionage against western companies while the Chinese government turns a blind eye at best and actively supports IP theft at worst. All this aside, European and US regulators see China for what it truly is and will ensure their domestic industries (auto is just one) are protected, more so now than ever because we we're recently taught a valuable lesson about how dangerous reliance on China can be. Its a classic lesson in just because its the cheapest doesn't mean its the best. Oh no not IP theft!

With the Vietnam change of leadership, I do hope that this leads to greater time off for workers and a betterment of people's causes within it. They don't actually talk much about changing policies in that piece, what if anything is going to change for the average citizen? Josef bugman has issued a correction as of 12:47 on May 11, 2024 |

Don't worry people, Biden to the rescue! US set to impose 100% tariff on Chinese electric vehicle imports https://archive.is/4CYcB#selection-1571.0-1571.64 The Biden administration plans to raise tariffs on Chinese electric vehicles imports from 25 per cent to 100 per cent, as it intensifies efforts ahead of the US election to protect American industry. The administration is expected to announce the move, and other tariffs on clean energy imports, on Tuesday, according to people familiar with the situation. The sharp rise in the levies comes amid mounting concern that China could flood the US market with cheap EVs, threatening the American car industry. President Joe Biden has taken several actions in recent months to convince union members in swing states that he will protect jobs. The Biden administration has for three years been reviewing the tariffs that then president Donald Trump put on imports from China as part of the trade war he launched in 2018. The new EV tariffs will be announced alongside the conclusion of the review, led by the US Trade Representative. (...)

I like how when people suggest an American auto maker produce small or normal size cars, the answer is always Americans loving hate those and only want trucks, sorry. But if a Chinese company looks like it might try to sell some here, it's an existential threat to domestic industry that must be stopped at all costs. You'd think they'd just sit back and chuckle as the foolish Chinese waste their resources trying to sell cars that nobody here wants

You know how there used to be gas powered scooters in the 90s and it was loud as gently caress. And then all got replaced by electric powered once the Lithium battery became a thing. And then electric became the only form of power in smaller personally transportation in everything below motorcycle. This is going to happen to planes too. Now electric for hobbyists and light drones only, but it will work its way into bigger and bigger drones and eventually get into small airplanes.
