The headline is a bit misleading or at least ambiguous. But these are US pork imports to China, I assume.
EDIT: From the article, "China, behind Mexico and Japan, was the U.S.’s third-biggest market for pork in 2024, importing some 475,000 metric tons valued at more than $1.1 billion. "
These are US exports to China.
Sure. Definitely disgraceful for her to act like this.
Why didn’t you link the NPR report?
Well that part at least is debatable.
We basically have no ground so any ground is vital and necessary to gain.
We have a national narcissism crisis.
Fox News will and they will repeat it.
A lot of them are completely brainwashed by Fox News. It’s their primary form of entertainment. They will die believing the propaganda. They’re a lost cause unfortunately.
Putin pioneered this in Russia. He funded protests against himself to play agent provocateur and make anyone who is against him look foolish.
I watched a lady who studies dictators on a Wired video recently and she said about 30% of the population believes in dictatorship as an effective way to govern. She explained it as people who are generally dictatorial in their life. My way or the highway type people. Tyrannical microcontrollers. Helicopter parents, etc. These people seem pretty common in my experience so it made sense. And considering about 30% of the population voted for Trump and 30% voted for Harris and the rest didn’t vote it makes even more sense.
It’s the politicians job to get votes.
Democrats are complicit in this too. They refuse to engage with viable alternatives so they allow this to happen so that when the country is in crisis they can step in and offer nothing but level heads. Until people get upset again then they step back into the shadows to allow Republicans to do their fearmongering.
The first part is purely conjecture of their intent. It is irrelevant and unknowable. The facts are they leaked this to a reporter. They should be held accountable based on the facts, not their intent.
The fundamental weakness of Western civilization is empathy [for the rich.]
We have to organize at the community level and do it without all the shadowfunding the fascists have.
Bernie is the only leftist in the Senate. So until that changes it will be impossible to move beyond him.
It already happened. I vaguely remember something my boss would tell me about him being gay or something like that. Idk it was some completely made up horseshit.
Walz seems like a good guy but I think anyone associated with Harris campaign is tainted and rightfully so.
Brother, than can always drain it even more.
It can be systematically deconstructed and defunded until it no longer works and is non-functional and frustrating to use and then that used as an excuse to eliminate it.
Why on Earth would China export pork to us? They eat way more than we do.
EDIT: No, I’m definitely right
