But they're not going to increase wages to account for us having to spend 55 dollars on something that used to cost 5. So the end result is just that people end up with less overall. I'm cool with limiting consumerism, but this isn't the way to do it imo. And it's not going to make us "richer" as a nation.

And we haven't even addressed the whole reason manufacturing left in the first place. It's so much cheaper to do it overseas, even accounting for shipping. It will cost America much more to produce items internally--and who is going to buy these extra-expensive items? America is a service economy and most people are working at Walmart or McDonald's. These people can barely afford the cheap Chinese version, much less the expensive American version.

So I guess they're hoping wages will increase more than the extra expensive incurred by making our own items? Not going to happen, not in a million years.

This will be hilarious, because Teslas don't even really work for the demographic that goes through vehicles the fastest: heavy duty company trucks, rental vehicle companies, and country-folk who commute 40 miles to work and 50 miles to the city for weekend leisure.

Is RFK Jr. sharing his alien mind control brain worms with all these other political candidates, or have they always been this garbage?

Yeah. I hope they cut even more as a giant "get fucked". They'll all vote red again next time anyways, so might as well go hard I guess.

This is directed toward the vets that voted red. If you didn't, please disregard lol

If I went to Ireland and they started giving me trash about my style, I would not know how to respond, but I'm sure I'd be laughing the entire time lmao

Yeah, maybe. I didn't know that was a thing, but I believe it

 

Doing this at least once or twice a year is sure to maximize the life expectancy of your refrigeration appliances.

 

I've found myself looking for a really good can opener. I purchased my last one, a KitchenAid, from Target and I've been disappointed in it the whole time. Sometimes it doesn't puncture the lid right, and it feels like it got rusty kinda fast--not at all what I want out of a utensil I hoped would last for a decade or more (who wants to keep buying can openers? lol).

I'm looking for a manual handheld can opener. I've always had the type that opens from the top, but a little bit of Googling shows that there are types that open from the side. I'm in the USA if that matters!

What does Lemmy think?
