Rules:

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Every single country should withdraw immediately as well. This is giving a major advantage to American corps which are already dominating many markets.

The American corps should be taxed extra, if anything.

The best thing of course would be for people to just stop buying American goods so they don't have a global market at all and they can rot in their own shithole.

Every leader of every country on this planet is a fucking pathetic spineless fuckwad.

All the countries together have so much more power and resources than the shitty ass fascist US and yet they continue to give Trump and his team of corrupt criminals whatever bullshit they want.

This world and the bottomless pit of corporate and individual greed is absolutely disgraceful.

Just in case it wasn't obvious who the masters were, it's now enshrined in (another) law.

What's the point then?

[–] Mihies@programming.dev 25 points 4 days ago

LOL, what? This will most definitely achieve the goal to tax the big corps, right. Right? Well, as long as the orange is happy...

This encourages multinational companies to move to the United States. The countries allowing the exemption are actively harming their own interests by doing this.

Why?

Just that. Why?

Americans will be amazed at how much stuff we are exempted from in the coming years
