Chinese manufacturing labor isn’t just cheaper. It’s better.
In #China, there are no people who are too fat to work. The workers don’t storm off midshift, never to return to their job. You don’t have people who insist on being paid in cash so that they can keep their disability payments, while they do acrobatics on the factory floor that the non-disabled workers cannot do.
Chinese workers are much less likely to physically attack each other and their manager. They don’t take 30 minute bathroom breaks on company time. They don’t often quit because their out-of-state mother of their children discovered their new job and now receives 60% of their wages as child support. They don’t disappear because they’ve gone on meth benders. And they don’t fall asleep on a box midshift because their pay from yesterday got converted into pills.
On April 2nd, 2025, our president announced major new taxes on imports from foreign countries (“tariffs”), ranging from 10% to 49%. The stated goal is to bring manufacturing back to the United States and to “make America wealthy again”.
That's mostly the neoliberalism/right-wing/employer perception that you're highlighting there. You should instead consider the socialist/communist/people oriented perspective that got the Chinese people to a much better place.
IMO, you're describing a US fast food restaurant not the majority of US mfg plants. Most people want to put in their shift, collect thier paycheck, and go home, eat, sleep, and wake up bright and early to do it all over again. That's a well run mfg job.
There's no intention of reviving manufacturing in this country...the current leadership are the exact same interest that initiated & perpetuated "the race to the bottom" that's responsible for the government for the rich by the rich we survive under today... They're backward & backward thinking but they're very good at manipulating & lying...
@zephyrotv I worked in a bar across fromMAdison Square Garden when it was held in the Theater (old Felt Forum), and they had to turn people away, so they moved it to Radio City Music Hall and still didn't have enough room, throw in fantasy sports and this is what you get.
@zephyrotv I never got into fantasy, too much work, and after I had 25 different sets of numbers for the Super Bowl and hit absolutely nothing I stopped any and all sports gambling.

Would you steal the font for a campaign "You wouldn't steal a car"?
Today Melissa Lewis over on BlueSky pointed out that the font used in the infamous "You wouldn't steal a car" anti-piracy campaign was actually designed by Just van Rossum, whose brother, Guido, created the Python programming language ( bsky.app/profile/melissa.news/… )
She also pointed out that the font had been cloned and released illegally for free under the name "XBAND Rough". Naturally, it would be hilarious if the anti-piracy campaign actually turned out to have used this pirated font, so I went sleuthing and quickly found a PDF from the campaign site with the font embedded ( web.archive.org/web/2005122320… ).
I haven't been on gab for months, but there was still a small contingent (or just a bot farm) of braindeads peddling and consuming that garbage.
Bitchute used to be full of "killary executed by military tribunal!11!" shit on the trending tab, but it seems they've winnowed it down to mostly "judeo-christian" conservatives and the odd "pam bondi is totally going to do something any minute now" videos.
The latter seems like the logical extension of qlarp. Pam Bondi is indeed the "whitehat" whose being "in control" is what we're witnessing now.
@Kusojiji i think a lot of those Q accts on gab are bots. how long could boomers maintain that level of enthusiasm? it just seems fake
bondi isn't making my dreams come true. if there was any valid criticism of trump last time it was his awful ineffectual AG appointments and he repeated the same mistake again. that, and his zionism. two biggest complaints. oh and that whole "warp speed" thing

Wife went on a little trip with her sister. This means I'm taking care of all her critters. She will pay dearly for this. She has this one ram that is absolutely huge. Biggest sheep I have ever seen. When standing in front of me his heat is level with my chest. He lowered his head and charged me. Probably because I'm not her. My buff sveltness made it easy to dodge him, but he kept coming. He weighs 2x me, but it became necessary to tackle him to the ground and show him who's boss. 1 of 2
I ended up riding him for a bit before I could get him down but once I did and held him for a bit, he stopped that crap. But I'm getting too old for this shit and ill be sore tomorrow. I'll be 60 in 11 days, how the hell did that happen so fast?
Among other things, the company collects data about when you start a #game, for how long you play it and when you close it. Even after the complainant explicitly asked why he is forced to be #online, Ubisoft failed to disclose why this is going on. Under Article 6(1) #GDPR, there seems to be no valid legal basis to randomly collect such user data.
Telegram's CEO, #PavelDurov, has said Telegram would rather exit a market than "undermine encryption with backdoors," reaffirming the company's commitment to users' #privacy and #security.
i figured out a way to do my battery discharge test of the LiFePo battery without running a space heater or wasting the charge.
just hooked up the shop lights and a fan, and using a DC clamp meter to measure the current, and then timing how long it takes to completely discharge the battery. this way i can discharge at like 7 amps without heating up the shop with a space heater or something :blackmanthinkingjpeg:
after i determine that this 100AH battery is good i may get another one that would give me longer time between charges so i can do stuff like weld and run my CNC programs without completely draining it
so i should get about 14 hours of 7 amp discharge for just shop lights and a fan, out of a single charge. yea i'm definitely going to need two of these batteries

Even here in Washington State, gas has fallen from almost $5/gallon about $4.94 to $4.09 for regular, but our wonderful legislafuckers are trying to increase gasoline tax again even though we've already got the third highest gas tax in the nation and on top of that they claim they need the money, yet they have money to buy houses for blacks while they tax the rest of us out of ours.
I'm not happy with Zalenskyy's posturing, happy to wipe out the entire male half of his population in the name of pride. So there ya go. You and I both know you can stop this war in a heart beat, as you promised prior to election, by simply cutting off funds which are laundered back to use DemonRats for the most part anyway, weapons and intelligence. Or you can continue to support the slaughter of millions.
Toxic Skyfall: Independent researcher Mike Adams found alarming levels of heavy metals (lead, cadmium, mercury, aluminum) in Florida air samples, with no natural or industrial sources to explain their presence.
Ah so Harvard is pro-Israel, because 97% of the Israeli population is Ashkenazi, NOT Semitic, and the Palestinians who they are committing wholesale genocide against ARE Semitic.
i will have to apply for jobs soon, HR is pretty much always women, so putting this into consideration i made some important notes for my approach, i will be focusing on my strengths: - make my professional skills list way too wordy and difficult for a woman to read so she immedietly doesn't read it and doesn't figure out i am middle of the road - make sure to scale up my picture in my resume - put the fact that i do singing and firefighting into my list of hobbies - in the application also mention that i am single, and i really really love Older Office ladies completely randomly
i think this will improve my chances, what do you think?
@newt actually i went to a juvenile delinquency school basically, i should put that on my resume too in case the woman wants a bit more danger in a man.
@newt >tell teacher one kid is always bullying me >he does fuck all >eventually get sick of it and kick him down stairs, when he stops rolling i kick him again until he reached the bottom >end up stuck in a school with the scum of the earth
La Chambre d'appel rejette la demande d'Israël en appel d'annuler les mandats d'arrêt émis à l’encontre de Netanyahou et Gallant pour crimes de guerre et crimes contre l'humanité.
☪️✝️| Lors d’une expérience publique, un YouTuber a demandé à des chrétiens de réciter un passage de la Bible. Aucun n’a su le faire, alors que les musulmans récitaient tous un verset du Coran.
Pour beaucoup, le christianisme en Occident est devenu une tradition plus qu’une foi.
🇯🇵⚔️🇺🇸 🔴 Le Japon, pays le plus vulnérable, ne recule pas face au chantage américain.
Le représentant commercial japonais a déclaré que tous les nouveaux tarifs américains ne sont pas négociables et doivent d'abord être supprimés, et il l'a dit à Trump.
« Les organisations d'aide à l'enfance du monde entier — et du monde soi-disant civilisé — refusent de faire le strict minimum. Des images horribles montrent les corps d'enfants palestiniens déchiquetés par les frappes aériennes israéliennes qui ont ciblé les maisons de civils innocents au cœur de Gaza. »

🇺🇸 🔴 Secrétaire au Trésor américain : « Nous avons une politique de dollar fort. » Mais: Les rendements des obligations américaines augmentent, ce n’est pas un signe de force, c’est un symptôme d’effondrement. Les marchés anticipent discrètement quelque chose que Washington ne veut pas admettre. Un empire ne peut pas être maintenu en s’appuyant sur les émotions, car la réalité s’y oppose.
@Arcalian 🎖️ ✅⚡ Ok no bad choice of my words, but not original. Sorry I made the original remark, didn't notice the corner. Maybe because it was in a completely different color in a much smaller font in a dark corner of the image, I dunno. Not plagiarism, not original but I can't fault you for quoting the Bible.
He speaketh with forked tongue. He said he is opposed to tribalism and nationalism but then says he is a staunch Zionist, the very definition of tribalism and nationalism. Probably supports sucking little boy cocks too.
A San Francisco federal judge has ruled against President Trump's efforts to withdraw federal funds from sanctuary cities, declaring the move unconstitutional. This decision echoes previous legal battles over immigration policy.
VSCode is pure "Embrace, Extend, Extinguish". Don't get fooled.
Whilst Visual Studio Code is "open-source" (as per the OSD) the value-add which transforms the editor into anything of value ("what people actually refer to when they talk about using VSCode") is far from open and full of intentionally designed minefields that often makes using Visual Studio Code in any other way than what Microsoft desires legally risky...
The Trump administration, though, exploited a loophole in the ruling and deported several illegal aliens anyway. It turns out Murphy’s order only applied to the Department of Homeland Security, not any other federal agencies.
The Trump administration's strategic maneuvering in response to a federal judge's ruling on deportations highlights the ongoing legal battles shaping immigration policy.
A federal judge on Thursday partially blocked President Trump’s executive order on election integrity, including the requirement to add proof of citizenship to federal voter registration forms.
A federal judge's recent decision to block key elements of Trump's election integrity order raises critical questions about voter rights and the future of electoral reforms. Insights into the implications await.

I started this after getting some carpal tunnel syndrome I have had that for years It usually goes away after a few days But it is clearly some kind of weakness
Was reading about thicker grip and it seems like not only will a thicker grip relieve elbow and carpal tunnel pain It will also make for better training of the smaller muscles in my hands.
I also feel as if I can utilize more power in my hands with a somewhat thicker grip
Thinking of welding a 40mm pipe to my 25mm dumbbells
Just read that the 25mm bar was made for women and basically for deadlift.
No wonder I had problems with my male carpet hands.
This kind of pisses me of. First of all it is nearly impossible to find thicker grip than 25mm for dumbbells and secondly my curled barbell is also 25mm.
I will probably weld 30mm pipes on top of that one.
How many men would accidentally buy a set of woman dumbbells barbells if ti said for WOMEN on it?
Threat actors exploited a zero-day vulnerability in Ivanti Connect Secure, identified as CVE-2025-0282, to deploy malicious tools including a web shell and a sophisticated remote access trojan (RAT) named DslogdRAT. According to a detailed analysis by JPCERT/CC, these attacks underscore the persistent and evolving risks surrounding Ivanti products, which have become a frequent target for […]
Trump veut réduire les déficits américains et rétablir la grandeur des ÉtatsUnis en réindustrialisant le pays. MAGA1 !. On le comprend : le déficit commercial américain s’élève en 2024 à 920 milliards, soit 17 % de plus qu’en 2023.
Der verstorbene Papst Franziskus wird am Samstag in Rom beigesetzt. Zur Trauerfeier kommen Gäste aus aller Welt. Dazu gehört auch Berlins Kultursenator.
A Trump-appointed federal judge has ordered the Trump administration to facilitate the return of a Venezuelan man who was deported to El Salvador last month, saying his deportation violated a prior court settlement.
